| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| for the year ended 31 March 2026 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Carno 1 LLP ('LLP') (OC418192) is a Limited Liability Partnership registered in England and Wales. Its registered office is 1 Des Roches Square, Witney, OX28 4BE. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A "Small entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
| The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. |
| The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£) and rounded to the nearest £1. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for electricity and associated renewable benefits sold during the period, exclusive of value added tax, derived from the generation of electricity. |
| Revenue from wholesale electricity, Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs) and Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs) are recognised in the period in which the related electricity is generated. |
| Other renewable benefits are recognised when the value can be reliably ascertained. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Cost represents purchase price together with any incidental costs of acquisition. Finance costs are included in the cost of tangible assets when they are directly attributable to the construction of tangible fixed assets. |
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset, net of anticipated disposal proceeds, over its estimated useful economic life. Depreciation is charged at the following rates: |
| Plant and machinery - over the expected lease term. |
| 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. |
| Financial instruments |
| The LLP has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. |
| (i) Financial assets |
| Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, 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. |
| Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| (ii) Financial liabilities |
| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors 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. |
| Members' loans (being repayable on demand), trade debtors and trade creditors are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Members' participation rights |
| Members’ participation rights comprise the rights of a member against the LLP in respect of amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed, remuneration and profits. |
| The losses of the LLP shall, with effect from the commencement date, be borne by the LLP and not allocated to the members. The members shall procure that all losses of the LLP are debited to other reserves. Other reserves comprise the accumulated losses of the LLP. |
| Profits are allocated to one designated member and therefore such profits are classed as an expense through the profit and loss rather than an appropriation of equity. |
| All amounts due to the members that are classified as liabilities are presented in the balance sheet within 'Loans and other debt due to members' and are charged to profit and loss account within Members' remuneration charged as an expense. Amounts due to members that are classified as equity are shown in the balance sheet within 'Members' other interests'. |
| Taxation |
| The taxation payable on the LLP's profits is the personal liability of the member during the year. Consequently, neither the LLP nor related deferred taxation are accounted for in the financial statements. |
| Decommissioning Provision |
| Provision is made for the net present value of the estimated future decommissioning costs at the end of the operating life of the wind farm. The provision is calculated using estimated costs of decommissioning, and these estimates have been arrived at by consideration of the expected costs of contracts to remove the installed plant. The estimates are discounted at a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money. A corresponding asset is recognised and included within the wind farm assets and is depreciated over the lease term. The estimated future cost of decommissioning obligations are regularly reviewed and adjusted as appropriate for new circumstances or changes in law or technology. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. |
| Operating lease commitments |
| Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Critical accounting estimates and assumptions |
| (i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets |
| The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. |
| (ii) Provisions |
| Provision is made for asset decommissioning obligations, dilapidations and contingencies. These provisions require management's best estimate of the costs that will be incurred based on legislative and contractual requirements. In addition, the timing of the cash flows, inflation and the discount rates used to establish net present value of the obligations require management's judgement. |
| (iii) Accrued income |
| Accrued income is estimated based on the value of unbilled wind revenue at the reporting date. Management estimate accrued income based on output of the wind farms multiplied by the average price for the period. |
| 3. | EMPLOYEE INFORMATION |
| The average number of employees during the year was NIL (2025 - NIL). |
