NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1.	General information

Tall Ships Races International Limited is a private company limited by share capital and incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the registered office and principal place of business is Charles House, Gosport Marina, Mumby Road, Gosport, Hampshire, PO12 1AH.

2.Accounting policies

2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006. The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

2.2

Going concern

The directors have considered the impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic on the ability of the Company to continue trading for the foreseeable future. The effect of the pandemic has resulted in all events in this accounting year being postponed and subsequently the postponement of the planned 2021 events.
The Tall Ships Race 2020 (Magellan Elcano) and the Far East Regatta 2020 were both postponed to 2021 to run after the planned Tall Ships Race 2021 in agreement with all related parties. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing restrictions imposed by the global pandemic it was not possible for any of the events to proceed in 2021. At the time of writing this report ongoing discussions are being held with all related parties connected to both the Magellan Elcano and Far East Regatta to reach agreement on rescheduling the event in either 2022 or 2023. Agreement was reached with the ports for the 2021 Tall Ships Race to mutually cancel the event and as part of the negotiation grant automatic inclusion for the Tall Ships Race 2024 at a discounted host port fee.
To mitigate losses in the 2021 financial year the Company has reduced its fixed cost base considerably by making four staff positions redundant. This action has positioned the Company well to cope with the further event postponements in the summer of 2021.
The Company has continually assessed the impact of the pandemic and updated its financial forecasts and projections accordingly up to the date of signing the financial statements. The financial forecasts have been rigorously stress-tested in house coupled with receiving external financial advice which has been sought throughout the period regarding going concern status.
The support of the Company's stakeholders throughout this period up to the point of signing the financial statements has been key to navigating through this difficult period.
Based on this review and taken together with existing financing facilities the directors believe that the financial statements have been prepared appropriately on the going concern basis.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

2.3

Revenue

The host ports for each event contract with the Company up to four years before the race takes place and make annual payments on account. The Company is engaged in planning and marketing activity throughout the four year period for each race. Accordingly the Company recognises the income as part of the port fees received in each of the years leading up to the race, the balance being taken in the year the race is held.

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;

∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;

∙the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and

∙the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

2.4

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

2.5

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.

Short term debtors and creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial instruments, including loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

2.6

Government grants

Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the same period as the related expenditure.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

2.7

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

2.8

Taxation

Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the Balance Sheet date, except that:

∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and

∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
