1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
|
Ernesettle Community Solar Limited is a
|
|
Registered number: | 09892557 |
|
Registered office: | Plymouth City Council |
Ballard House |
West Hoe Road |
Plymouth |
Devon |

|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
The directors have prepared these accounts on the going concern basis despite additional losses incurred this year as they believe the current position is temporary. The company is operated alongside a detailed financial model to forecast future performance and current results are in line with this model. The directors are confident that company will be profitable in the near future in accordance with this model. |
|
Turnover |
Turnover represents net sales of electricity from units generated at the site and by selling back into the national grid at an agreed rate. Income is recognised on an accruals basis when the company first has right to the consideration. |
|
Capital grant income has been deferred and released in accordance with the company's depreciation policy. |
|
Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful economic life. |
|
Plant and machinery - 5% straight line |
|
Tangible fixed assets relate to the capital equipment and associated costs incurred to get the site ready and equipped with solar panels necessary to generate income. |
|
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
|
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
|
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
|
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
|
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
|
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
|
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |

|
Provisions |
Provisions are recognised only when the outcome is unavoidable and can be reliably measured. They are recognised in the accounts as a non-tax deductible expense. |
|
Long term loans below market rate |
Long term loans received with an interest rate below market value have been discounted to present value at the market rate less the actual rate of interest. The amount discounted will be unwound over the term of the loan by way of an annual transfer between reserves. |
|
Covid-19 |
When assessing going concern the impact of COVID-19 has been considered in detail. However, the directors are confident it will not have a significant impact on revenue streams due to energy still being purchased and therefore are not concerned about the future of the business. |
