1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

West Harris Renewables Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in Scotland. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

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.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.

The directors consider that there are no material uncertainties about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The directors also consider that there are no significant areas of judgements, estimates or key assumptions that affect items in the accounts.

Turnover

Turnover represents sales of goods and services, excluding value added tax. Turnover is recognised when the risks and rewards associated with the transaction have transferred to the purchaser.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Plant and machinery etc

-

5% on cost and no depreciation-asset under construction

Finance costs incurred during the construction phase of the wind turbine projects are capitalised and amortised over the useful life of the assets.

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 and 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.

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.

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.

Grants

Grants of a revenue nature are taken to the Profit and Loss Account in the year in which the related expenditure is undertaken. Grants received which are related to capital expenditure are capitalised in the Balance Sheet under Creditors due after more than one year until the project is complete. At that point these grants are released to the Profit and Loss Account on the same basis as the related capital expenditure is depreciated.

3.	EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was NIL (2020 - NIL).
