Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 August 2021

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life

Company activities and impact

We raised funds to sponsor a PhD to investigate the carbon sequestration value of rewilding. This will begin in Spring 2022 and we are in the process of selecting our student who is going to spend a lot of time measuring greenhouse gases in some fantastic rewilding sites.In this project we will be assessing soil carbon by measuring the short-term emission of greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide and methane - between and within different regeneration sites.The intended outcomes will provide GHG, carbon and biodiversity data for future validation of carbon storage within a wide variety of UK restored ecosystem types.It will provide an assessment of alternative methods for evaluating carbon sequestration or emissions reductions in restored ecosystems. In the long-term, these outcomes will be essential to the development of sensors and methods to allow accurate and cost-effective vali-dation of carbon storage by a wide range of stakeholders involved in natural regeneration and nature-based solutions.

Consultation with stakeholders

As well as our university research partner stakeholders, we have been building a plan to consult with communities to maximise the social benefits of our clients rewilding and carbon mitigation activities. We are expecting these to go forward into implementation in 2022.

Directors' remuneration

£5208 – see accounts.

Transfer of assets
