FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INFORMATION FOR FILING WITH THE REGISTRAR

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

 
SUNSHINE CRUISE HOLIDAYS TRANSPORT LIMITED
 
 
 
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SUNSHINE CRUISE HOLIDAYS TRANSPORT LIMITED
UNDER SECTION 449 OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Sunshine Cruise Holidays Transport Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2021, which comprise  the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).


In our opinion the financial statements:


give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its result for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.


Basis for opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.


The impact of uncertainties due to the COVID-19 pandemic on our audit
Uncertainties related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are relevant to understanding our audit of the financial statements. All audits assess and challenge the reasonableness of estimates made by the directors, such as recoverability of investments, intangible assets and related disclosures and the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements. All of these depend on assessments of the future economic environment and Company's future prospects and performance.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact upon the worldwide economy and in particular upon the cruise industry, with many consumers cancelling or delaying travel plans as a result. At the date of this report, the full range of possible effects upon travel companies cannot be estimated or assessed due to the current levels of uncertainty around government and consumer responses to what might happen.
The accelerated vaccine rollout has led to an improvement in the assessment of the uncertainty in that it should accelerate the ability for consumers to travel again safely and also enable travel routes to re-open. Whilst a positive aspect, it still does not remove the ongoing uncertainty of the measures that will be taken by various Governments to contain the virus and the final economic effects.
We applied a standardised firm-wide approach in response to these uncertainties when assessing the Company's future prospects and performance. However, no audit should be expected to predict the unknowable factors or all possible future implications for a group or company and this is particularly the case in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SUNSHINE CRUISE HOLIDAYS TRANSPORT LIMITED (CONTINUED)
UNDER SECTION 449 OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006


Material uncertainty related to going concern


In forming our opinion on the financial statements, which is not modified, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosure made in note 2.2 to the financial statements concerning the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
As explained in note 2.2, the current COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact upon the global economy and especially upon the cruise industry. This has led many consumers to hold off on booking new holidays or cancel existing holidays until the global situation stabilises, resulting in greatly reduced cash flows for travel companies. These problematic trading conditions have negatively impacted the Company's trade as well as its immediate and projected cash flows.
In the event that the COVID-19 pandemic worsens for a prolonged period of time, this would put pressure on the Company's finances and its ability to continue as a going concern. We draw attention to note 2.2 of the financial statements as to the review and actions undertaken by the Board of Directors to ensure that the Company has adequate resources to continue trading for at least 12 months. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis.
The ultimate parent, Dreamlines GmbH, has raised financial support from the ultimate shareholders of the Group along with substantial German Government-backed subsidies to secure operations for at least the next 12 months across the Group. Dreamlines GmbH, as ultimate parent, has provided a letter of comfort confirming its continued financial support for the coming 12 months of the Company. It has already provided £1.1million in response to the continuing financial pressures from the COVID-19 pandemic, with commitment to provide further support to the Company over the coming 3 months.


Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.





Other information


The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and  our Auditors' Report thereon.  The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report.  Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.  If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves.  If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.


We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SUNSHINE CRUISE HOLIDAYS TRANSPORT LIMITED (CONTINUED)
UNDER SECTION 449 OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006


Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:


the information given in the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the Directors' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors' Report.


We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:


adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Directors' Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.


Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 1, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SUNSHINE CRUISE HOLIDAYS TRANSPORT LIMITED (CONTINUED)
UNDER SECTION 449 OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006


Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.


Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

- We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit;
- We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the deliberate override of internal control;
- We obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control;
- We evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made;
- We assess the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business;
- We review the scope of the Company's compliance with The Package and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 ("PTRs") and sample test relevant documentation to assess this and the effectiveness of its control environment;
- We request and review the minutes of management meetings, and assess any matters identified not already provided for or disclosed that may materially impact the financial statements;
- We review the Company's relationships with related parties and other group companies, identifying and disclosing transactions during the year and balances at year-end with such parties;

UNDER SECTION 449 OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006


Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
- We conclude on the appropriateness of the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the entity to cease to continue as a going concern.


A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.


Use of our report
 

This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2.2

Going concern

The current COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact upon the global economy and in particular upon the cruise industry, causing many consumers to cancel or amend their holiday arrangements.
Additionally, with the majority of consumers no longer seeking to book holidays until the global situation stabilises, many travel companies are struggling to cope with greatly reduced cash flows.
Company management and the directors have taken immediate steps to review the Company's financial position, downgraded its forecasts and planned mitigation actions in order to neutralise the financial impact from the significant downturn in trading.
The ultimate parent, Dreamlines GmbH, has raised financial support from the ultimate shareholders of the Company along with substantial German Government-backed subsidies to secure operations for at least the next 12 months across the Company. 
Dreamlines GmbH, as ultimate parent, has provided a letter of comfort confirming its continued financial support for the coming 12 months of the Company. It has already provided £2million in response to the continuing financial pressures from the COVID-19 pandemic, with commitment to provide further support to the Company as needed. 
Additionally, they have also performed a sensitivity analysis on the Company's budgets and forecasts to assess the financial impact of a further slowdown in trading from the reforecast and its impact on the liquidity of the business. This sensitivity analysis shows that the Company has enough liquidity and cash to trade through a further slowdown.
The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business remains uncertain and as a result it is extremely difficult to predict the overall outcome at the date of this report. Under the downside scenarios listed above, there is a potential liquidity risk for the Company should travel restrictions be reimposed. 
The Company is part of a much larger group, with the ultimate holding company being Dreamlines GmbH. The Company therefore benefits from the guaranteed financial support of its shareholders, who have acquired additional financing since the year-end in order to facilitate and support the ongoing business of all Group companies for at least the next 12 months. The Company has also taken advantage of Government backed assistance on the job support scheme to retain as many employees as it can, within the financial impact it has suffered.
As a result, Company management and the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least the following 12 months from the signing of these financial statements, and will take all reasonable commercial steps, including seeking further financing or support if required, to mitigate against the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, and with the Company continuing to receive the full support of the group, the directors believe that it is still appropriate to apply the going concern basis for the foreseeable future.

 
2.3

Revenue

Turnover represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of transport services provided to Sunshine Cruise Holidays Limited during the year, recognised on a date of deprture date basis, in accordance with HMRC VAT information Sheet 01/97.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.4

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 reporting 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 reporting 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 reporting date.

 
2.5

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable 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

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.

 
2.7

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.8

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.

Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.
