1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Duchy Fish Quota Company is a private company, limited by guarantee , registered in England and

Wales. 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

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102

Section 1A "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" 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 company.

Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound sterling.

The directors, after making enquiries and having considered the company's business, its financial

plans and the facilities available to finance the business, have a reasonable expectation that the

company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Accordingly, the going concern basis is adopted in preparing the financial statements.

Turnover

Turnover represents the total invoice value, excluding value added tax, of sales made during the

period. Turnover is recognised at the point of sale.

Quota

Quotas are valued at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated to write off the

cost in equal instalments over their estimated useful life of 20 years.

Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the current tax expense and deferred tax expense. Current tax

assets are recognised when tax paid exceeds the tax payable.

Current and deferred tax is charged or credited to the profit or loss, except when it relates to items

charged or credited to other comprehensive income or equity, when the tax follows the transaction or

event it relates to and is also charged or credited to other comprehensive income, or equity.

Current tax assets and current tax liabilities and deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are

offset, if and only if, there is a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and the entity intends

either to settle on the net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current tax is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from total comprehensive

income because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other periods.

Current tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively

enacted by the reporting period.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at

the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an

obligation to pay more, or a right to pay less or to receive more, tax.

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely

than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing

differences can be deducted.

Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the

periods in which timing differences reverse, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively

enacted at the balance sheet date.

Grants

Grants are initially credited to deferred revenue. Grants towards capital expenditure are recognised in

profit or loss over the expected useful life of the related assets. Grants towards revenue expenditure

are recognised in profit or loss as the related expenditure is incurred.

Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 "Basic Financial Instruments" and

Section 12 "Other Financial Instruments" of FRS to all of its financial instruments.

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the company's statement of financial position when

the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are classified into specified categories. The classification depends on

the nature and purpose of the financial asset or liability and is determined at the time of recognition.

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, including staff loans 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

constitute a financing transaction, where the transaction is measure at the present value of the future

receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables are initially measured 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 are derecognised when, and only when, the company's obligations are discharged,

cancelled, or they expire.
