NOTES TO THE COMPANY FINANCIAL INFORMATION
1. General information and basis of preparation
The principal activity of the Company is to identify potential companies,
businesses or asset(s) in the clean and renewable energy sector that will
increase shareholder value. The Company is domiciled in the United Kingdom and
incorporated and registered in England and Wales as a public limited company.
The Company's registered office is 9(th) Floor, 107 Cheapside, London EC2V
6DN, United Kingdom. The Company's registered number is 13672588.
2. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
UK-adopted international accounting standards. The Financial Statements have
been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise stated.
The Financial Statements are prepared in pounds Sterling and presented to the
nearest pound.
The preparation of the Company financial statements in conformity with
UK-adopted international accounting standards requires the use of certain
critical accounting estimates. It also requires the Directors to exercise
their judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies.
In the opinion of the management, the interim unaudited financial information
includes all adjustments considered necessary for fair and consistent
presentation of this financial information.
Going concern
The Company financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis
as the Directors have assessed the Company's ability to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future. The operations are currently
being financed by issuances of new equity. The Company is reliant on the
continuing support from its shareholders and the expected support of future
shareholders. The Company financial statements do not include the adjustments
that would result if the Company were not to continue as a going concern.
2. Segmental analysis
In the opinion of the Directors, the Company is primarily organised into a
single operating segment. This is consistent with the Company's internal
reporting to the chief operating decision maker. Separate segmental
disclosures have therefore not been included.
3. Loss per share
Basic loss per share is based on the net loss for the period of £206,444
attributable to equity holders related to the weighted average number of
ordinary shares in issue during the period of 8,500,000.
The following reflects the loss and share data used in the basic loss per
