Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2023


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Barents Bulk Company (UK) Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
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 Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Significant judgements and estimates
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis.

As indicated in the balance sheet the company has incurred substantial losses in past years and has net current liabilities at the balance sheet date. The losses have been financed by loans and the lender has indicated it's willingness to continue support to the company.

The director believes the above will enable the company to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the approval date of the accounts and on this basis consider it appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.

If the accounts were not prepared on a going concern basis adjustments would be necessary to write down assets to their recoverable amounts, reclassify fixed assets as current and provide for additional liabilities.

Property plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost (or deemed cost) and are subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the original purchase price, costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use, dismantling and restoration initially recorded at cost.

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

Computer equipment 25% on cost

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Financial instruments
The company has chosen to adopt Section 11 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments as it has only basic financial instruments.

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the income statement in other operating expenses.
