Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2020

1	General information

The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England & Wales.

The address of its registered office is:
C/O EMW Law LLP
Seebeck House
Milton Keynes
Buckinghamshire
MK5 8FR
United Kingdom

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board on 2 October 2020.

2	Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

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' Section 1A - Small Entities

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

Going concern

The directors are confident that sufficient work will be available for the vessels to enable the company to meet its day to day financial requirements. The company has operated successfully over the last two and a half years and since the COVID pandemic it has had full utilisation. The company has a solid pipeline of enquires and has developed relationships with a number key industry players.

The directors have considered the impact of COVID19 and BREXIT and have concluded that they expect these to have a minimal negative impact on the operations, contracts or financial position. In the case of Covid the opposite has occurred with larger vessels in higher demand due to social distancing measures required by charterers. The company provides a vital service to a critical energy industry and has continued to operate relatively normally throughout the COVID19 crisis.

The loan is due for repayment or renegotiation in March 2021. Whilst no formal agreement has yet been signed, the lenders have indicated that they will extend the loan beyond the current period at the same rate of interest if required. In addition, the company has investigated other sources of loans for refinancing. It has identified other potential lenders of whom one has provided indicative terms.

With the assurances received, refinancing options available and the current level of enquires for contracts at the date of signing these financial statements, the directors consider that the going concern basis remains appropriate for the foreseeable future.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2020

Audit report information

As the profit and loss account has been omitted from the filing copy of the financial statements, the following information in relation to the audit report on the statutory financial statements is provided in accordance with s444(5B) of the Companies Act 2006:

The Independent Auditor's Report was unqualified.

The name of the Senior Statutory Auditor who signed the audit report on 2 October 2020 was Rachel Davis BA FCA who signed for and on behalf of Just Audit Limited.

Revenue recognition

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.

The company recognises revenue when:
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

The Company presents its accounts in Sterling. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are reported at the rates prevailing at that date. Any gain or loss arising from subsequent exchange rate movements is included as an exchange gain or loss in the Profit and Loss Account.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded in the balance sheet at cost, including any directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their aquisition and installation, but excluding any borrowing costs.

Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at the above cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided annually in order to write off the cost of each asset over their expected useful economic lives down to their residual net realisable value at the end of that time.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2020

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Profit and Loss Account over the period of the relevant borrowing.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

3	Staff numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company (including directors) during the year, was 2 (2019 - 2).
