Report of the Members |
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 |
The members present their report with the financial statements of the LLP for the year ended 31 March 2024. |
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
The principal activity of the LLP in the year under review was that of a wholesale fish brokerage. In addition, the LLP operates a retail operation selling fresh fish from their Leasehold premises in Shamrock Quay, Southampton. Further, the LLP also now offers fresh fish to Wholesale customers such as Bars & Restaurants, as well as fish preparation. |
DESIGNATED MEMBERS |
The designated members during the year under review were: |
RESULTS FOR THE YEAR AND ALLOCATION TO MEMBERS |
The profit for the year before members' remuneration and profit shares was £2,919 (2023 - £16,301 profit). |
MEMBERS' INTERESTS |
In prior years the Members have signed a further addendum to the LLP Agreement. Under the Addendum to the LLP Agreement, the members of the LLP were required to make a minimum capital contribution of £254,975. The Members cannot with-draw this sum under the terms of the LLP Agreement.This clause was revoked in the year and the Members Capital Accounts were transferred to be off-set against "Amounts due from Members". |
In respect to any losses that accrue, the LLP Agreement is prescriptive in that the LLP has an unconditional right to demand re-payment of losses from its members. On this basis, the LLP continues to treat any losses accruing as "Amounts Due from Members" and any profits accruing as "Amounts Due to Members". |
Profits/ (losses) are allocated based on a decision taken by members, as a whole, pre year-end. On this basis, the allocation of profits/(Losses) in the year has been treated as a liability on the Balance Sheet under "Debts due to Members" or as an asset on the Balance Sheet, in respect to losses, under "Debts Due from Members". |
Furthermore, as the decision over allocation of profits/ (losses) is taken pre year-end then division of profit/(losses) is allocated from "Members' other interests Reserve" to "Loans and Other debts due to/from the Members" at the Balance Sheet Date. |
Drawings taken by a member, which exceed a discretionary profit share, are liable to be re-paid by that member upon demand following a decision taken by the members as a whole. |
The members are required to maintain a minimum capital requirement. This decision was taken for commercial considerations and is formalised as part of the LLP Agreement. Under the agreement, members cannot demand re-payment of their capital contribution, hence the members' capital has been treated as equity in the accounts. |

15. | CAPITAL ACCOUNT |
In accordance with Clause 9.10 of the LLP Agreement, no Member of the LLP may withdraw or receive back any part of the sum credited to his Capital Account. On this basis, the LLP has the unconditional right to refuse redemption of the Capital Account. In accordance with Section 22 of FRS102, the LLP considers the capital account to be "equity" and has disclosed this accordingly. The Balance on the members' capital account, as at the year-end, is £NIL (2023:£254,975). |
This clause has been revoked by the Members, during the year, and hence the Capital Account balance was transferred against "Amounts Due from Members". |

At the year-end date, the LLP was owed the following amounts by the members |
Mrs S J Puckett: £115,822 (2023:£209,766) |
Mr J Puckett: £96,920 (2023:£236,169) |
In accordance with Clause 11.3 of the LLP Agreement any loan due from the Member, to the LLP, shall be repayable by that Member to the LLP as agreed and directed by the Members. |
This Debt is unsecured and ranks pari passu with "Other Debtors". |
