Accounting policies
Company information

Island Offshore UK Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in Scotland. The registered office is 45 Queens Road, Aberdeen, AB15 4ZN.

1.1
Accounting convention

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 sterling, 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 of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of Island Offshore Shipholding LP. These consolidated financial statements are available from Borgstein AS, c/o Borgstein AS, Stålhaugen 9, 6065 Ulsteinvik, Norway.

The company has taken advantage of the exemption under section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare consolidated accounts, on the basis that the group of which this is the parent qualifies as a small group. The financial statements present information about the company as an individual entity and not about its group.

1.2
Going concern

The company is dependent on the financial support from its ultimate parent company, Island Offshore Shipholding L.P (“the Group”) for its ability to continue as a going concern. The company has net liabilities of £767,348 (2022: £791,504) of which £758,963 (2022: £780,268) relates to balances due to other group companies. true

The director has confirmed that these group balances will not be recalled within 12 months from the date of approving these financial statements at the detriment of the company’s ability to continue trading as a going concern. Noted below is an extract from the 31 December 2023 audited financial statements of Island Offshore Shipholding L.P. detailing issues facing the group and the discussions regarding its financing.

"The vessels owned by the Group operate in the offshore service market, which has suffered a significant downturn from 2015 due to the low oil price and reduced offshore activity.

The previous Restructuring Agreement with secured and unsecured lenders was made effective in May 2020, whereby unsecured lenders agreed to extend facilities until the end of 2023 or later at amended interest terms. All ship owning entities within the IOSH group have serviced all debt in accordance with the Restructuring Agreement, including both amortisation and interest. Since December 2023, agreement has been reached with the senior secured lenders and unsecured lenders financing the ship-owning companies. The agreements include extended runways and amended amortisation and interest terms.

The offshore service market has continued to improve in 2024, and the Group has a satisfactory backlog for the fleet. The assessment is that the Island Offshore Shipholding Group has the resources, organisation, competence, assets and customer base for the Company to continue being a going concern.

Accounting policies (continued)

In accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act § 3-3a the Board of Directors thus confirms that the financial statements are prepared on the basis of a going concern assumption. The basis for this assumption is the financial position, cash, and backlog of the Group at 31/12/23, and that a sustainable financing agreement has been agreed and made effective with secured and unsecured lenders in December 2023."

As a result, the director has continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

1.3
Fixed asset investments

Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

1.4
Cash and cash equivalents

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.

1.5
Financial instruments

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

 

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Classification of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

1.6
Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
