MENAS_MARINE_SERVICES_LIM - Accounts

The directors of the company have elected not to include a copy of the profit and loss account within the financial statements.true

These financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

Menas Marine Services Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office address can be found on the company information page.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in US dollars, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest $.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, notwithstanding the company is in a net liability position. The company's parent entity, International Foundation for Aids to Navigation, have provided the company with an undertaking that, for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements, it will continue to make available such funds as are needed by the company, and in particular will not seek repayment of the amounts currently payable, unless the company has funds available. This should enable to company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due for payment. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue, although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reasons to believe that it will not do so. Based on this undertaking, the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.true

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT. Chartering income represents third party income from the OSV Relume and is accounted for in the period in which the vessel is chartered for use.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into US Dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into US Dollars at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.

Trade and other creditors

Trade and other creditors are measured at their transaction price.

Accounting estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Useful economic lives of tangible assets

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful ecomonic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets.

Valuation of OSV Relume

The valuation of OSV Relume is sensitive to changes in the estimated remaining life and the expected future trading and sale value of the vessel. OSV Relume is subject to an annual impairment review based on these factors.

Bad debt provision

The value of trade debtors is sensitive to the recoverability in full of any invoices issued to each customer. Once the debt becomes overdue it is chased and periodically revioewed to ensure it is recoverable in full. If a provision is deemed necessary this is included on an annual basis.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was nil (2022: nil).

Directors remuneration:

No liability to UK corporation tax arose on ordinary activities for the year ended 31 December 2023 nor for the year ended 31 December 2022.

A potential deferred tax asset of approximately $9million (2022: $9million) has not been recognised due to uncertainty over the timing of the reversal which will be based on future profits.

The OSV Relume was sold on 17 September 2023.

Other reserves represent historical foreign exchange movements on the values of balance sheet items whose functional currency is not US Dollars.
