NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
AMP GM012 Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales, registration number 09411033. The registered office is 24 Savile Row, London, United Kingdom, W1S 2ES. The principal place of business is Rosedew Solar Farm, Llantwit Major, Vale of Glamorgan, CF61 1PZ.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
These financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the Company and rounded to the nearest £.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
|
|
|
Compliance with accounting standards
|
The financial statements have been prepared using FRS102, the financial reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, including the disclosure and presentation requirements of Section 1A, applicable to small companies. There were no material departures from that standard.
The Company was loss making in the period and is in a net liability position at the year end date. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which means that the Company can be expected to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation the Directors have taken into account the key risks of the business, including the uncertainty in relation to the impact of COVID-19, as well as the Company’s business model and the availability of cash resources. The Company is engaged in the generation and sale of renewable solar electricity and is financed by its immediate parent Solarplicity Debt Funding Limited. The Company is currently subject to an ongoing audit by OFGEM the energy regulator in relation to compliance with the Renewable Obligation Order (ROO). The outcome of the audit is uncertain as at the date of approval of these financial statements but Ofgem has the authority to, amongst other things, withdraw Renewable Obligations Certificates (ROC) accreditation in cases of material non-compliance with the ROO which would significantly impact the Company’s ability to generate income.
In preparing this assessment the Directors cite the ability of the Company to currently generate sufficient cash to meet its liabilities as they fall due. Further the Directors cite the ongoing support of fellow group companies and the Company’s parent to not call its debt to the detriment of the Company. On this basis the Directors consider it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
|
|
|
Operating leases: the Company as lessee
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss 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 initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.
Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
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.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
|
|
|
Borrowing costs related to fixed assets
|
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
|
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
The Company is currently being audited by the Office of Gas and Electricity Markets (OFGEM), the energy regulator, in relation to the Company's compliance with the Renewable Obligation, pursuant to which the Company has been accredited and is entitled to receive Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs). OFGEM has the authority to, amongst other things, withdraw ROC accreditation in cases of material noncompliance with the Renewable Obligation Order. If this was to occur it would impact the income generation of the Company and in turn the carrying value of the fixed assets. The directors based on the legal advice received do not have grounds to believe that the ROC accreditation will be withdrawn, however the audit remains ongoing and therefore there is a risk that the outcome may be unfavourable and this would require a fixed asset impairment to be considered. The Company is supported by its parent company and lender.
No provision for impairment of fixed assets has been made in these financial statements due to the uncertainty over the outcome of the OFGEM audit. Because of this uncertainty, the directors are unable to accurately quantify the potential impact, if any, of an impairment.
|
|
The Company has no employees other than the directors, who did not receive any remuneration (2019 - £NIL).
|
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption not to disclose amounts paid for non audit services as these are disclosed in the group accounts of the parent company.

The auditors' report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 was unqualified.
|
|
In their report, the auditors emphasised the following matter without qualifying their report:
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to note 2.3 of the financial statements that sets out the position of the Company with respect to going concern. The Company is currently subject to an ongoing audit by the Office of Gas and Electricity Market (OFGEM), the energy regulator, the outcome of which is uncertain. An adverse or unfavourable finding following a regulatory review could result in a number of possible financial consequences for the Company. Whilst these events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast a significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
|
The audit report was signed on 21 April 2021 by Mark Nelligan FCA (Senior statutory auditor) on behalf of Wellden Turnbull Limited.
