21st Century Energy Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements,

estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported

amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these

estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Estimates are based

on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered reasonable in the

circumstances. The actual amount or values may vary in certain instances from the assumptions

and estimates made. Changes will be recorded, with corresponding effect in profit or loss, when,

and if, better information is obtained.

Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of

resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year are included below.

Critical judgements that management has made in the process of applying accounting policies

disclosed herein and that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial

statements relates to the following:

Useful lives of depreciable assets

Management reviews its estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date,

based on the expected utility of the assets.

Turnover

Turnover represents income from the generation of renewable electricity from the operational installations during the year, excluding Value Added Tax. Turnover is recognised in the period in which the electricity is generated.

Turnover is generated through the sale of electricity under Power Purchase Agreements and through the UK Government's Feed-in-Tariff (FiT) scheme.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation commences on the date that the asset is brought into use.

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.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Plant & Machinery - Straight line over 25 years

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

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.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies 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.

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.

Going concern

The directors have reviewed the performance of the Company during the year as set out in these accounts and, after taking account of possible changes that can reasonably be envisaged in trading performance, have considered the cash flow forecasts and future liquidity requirements of the Company

Having regard to the above and after making enquiries the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of signing the accounts. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by deposits with financial intuitions repayable without penalty on notice of 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.

3.	EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS
