1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Aquarius Fishing Enterprises LLP is registered in Scotland. The LLP's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

2.	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" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships.

3.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.

Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the members have a reasonable expectation that the limited liability partnership has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the members continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Significant judgements and estimates

In the application of the limited liability partnership's accounting policies, the members are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The members consider that there are no estimates and underlying assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities.

Turnover

Turnover represents amounts receivable for the sale of fish and related products. This is recognised at point of settling and excludes value added tax.

Fishing licences and quota

Fishing licences and quota are presented at valuation. No amortisation has been provided for in the year as the members believe they have an indefinite useful life.

Tangible fixed assets

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

-

6.25% on cost

Taxation

No taxation has been provided in the accounts as taxation is a personal liability of the members.

Cash and cash equivalents
