1. Accounting policies
Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A of Financial
Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the
Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical costs convention as
modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
Revenue recognition
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: Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied · the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;· the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;· the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;· it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and· the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. All revenues received in respect of domestic and foreign seafood wholesale are accounted for at the point of sale.

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment, other than freehold land, are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis: Plant and machinery are carried at their revalued amounts, being fair value at the date of valuation less subsequent depreciatation and impairment losses. Revaluations are performed by a company director. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset, and the net amount is restated to the revalued amount of the asset. Any revaluation increase or decrease in the carrying amount of plant and machinery is recognised in other comprehensive income and included in a revaluation reserve in equity. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset recognised in profit or loss and depreciation based on the asset's original cost is transfered from revaluation reserve to retained earnings. Plant and machinery was initially revalued for the first time in the financial year 2020, whilst they were carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment in previous periods. The use of a policy of revaluation provides more relevant and reliable informaiton about the value of the assests owned by the company. .

Government grants
Government grants received are credited to deferred income. Grants towards capital expenditure are released to the profit and loss account over the expected useful life of the assets. Grants received towards revenue expenditure are released to the profit and loss account as the related expenditure is incurred.
Deferred tax
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss account, 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.

Foreign currencies
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 the Profit and loss account. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Profit and loss account within 'other operating income'.
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straightline basis over the period of the lease.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Profit and loss account when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.
Financial Instruments
The Company 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 non-puttable ordinary shares.
Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial
instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are
subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss
in finance costs or income as appropriate. The company does not currently apply hedge accounting for interest rate
and foreign exchange derivatives.
