Accounting policies
Company information
Corbiere Renewables Limited (the "company") is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is The Corn Store, Hyde Hall Farm, Buntingford, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, SG9 0RU. The principal place of business is Helhoughton Road, Hampton, Fakenham, Norfolk, NR21 7DY.
1.1
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2
Going concern
As part of the regular budgeting and forecast review process, the directors have prepared cash flow forecasts covering a period in excess of 12 months from the approval of the financial statements and are satisfied the company will have sufficient cash to meet its obligations as they fall due during this period. The company is also a member of a group whose financial position is closely linked to the status and continued support of other group undertakings. Each of these fellow group undertakings have committed to support each other as required for the foreseeable future. true
The company sells gas to the grid at market prices, the directors have performed sensitivity analysis on key variables such as export prices and volumes, feedstock costs and yields on these forecasts and are satisfied as a result of this that there is no indication that the company will not be able to continue operating as a going concern.
The company additionally has a long-term financing arrangement with its parent company and any unpaid interest under this arrangement may be deferred until the final repayment date of January 2051, at the discretion of the company.
Having considered the information available at the time of approving the financial statements, the directors havea resonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The directors have therefore continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3
Turnover
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of generation of power. Turnover is recognised as output is transferred.

1.4
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values on a straight line basis over their useful lives on the following bases:
Plant and machinery
20 years
Equipment
Reducing balance at 15%
Office equipment
Reducing balance at 33%
Assets under construction are not depreciated.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.
The assets' residual values, useful lives, and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
1.5
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
1.6
Stocks
Stocks represent costs of energy crops for use as a feedstock in biogas generation as well as spare parts and consumables held for use on site which are stated at the lower of cost and replacement value less any Clamp provision.
At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment.
1.7
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months.

1.8
Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, amounts owed to group undertakings and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.9
Leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over lease term.
1.10
Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.
1.11
Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to statement of comprehensive income over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initally recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

Related parties
The company has taken advantage of the exemption available under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.
2
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
Critical judgements
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Impairment of fixed assets
Factors which are taken into consideration to determine whether there are indicators of impairment in the company's fixed assets include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the assets.
Recoverability of trade and other receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised to the extent that they are judged recoverable. Management reviews are performed to estimate the level of provisions required for irrecoverable receivables. Provisions are made against receivables where recoverability is uncertain.
Deferred tax asset
The directors are required to assess the probability of whether unrelieved tax losses will be recovered against the reversal of future taxable profits arising in either the company or re-charged across the wider group. As there is doubt over the timing of when the tax losses will be utilised, the directors have not recognised the deferred tax asset.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.
Clamp provision
The directors have determined the provision for feedstock lost whilst being stored in clamps. This provision is recognised based on historic losses of relevant crops and assumes that losses will occur in the following stages:
60.00% losses initially, as it is expected that the majority of losses will occur during clamping; then a further
5.00% loss each month for the following 8 months.
