2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Assets under construction are accounted for at cost based on the boat builder's value of work completed at the balance sheet date, plus other direct costs incurred to 31st December 2024 and less any related capital government grants.
During the year the company commissioned the construction of a battery powered, low speed catamaran tourist cruise vessel. Construction of this asset will complete in 2025 and at this time it will be transferred out of assets under construction. The vessel will come into use in 2025.
2.3. 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 balance sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet 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.
2.4. Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
2.5. Government Grant
Government grants are recognised as due to the company when there is reasonable assurance that the company has complied with the conditions attached to the payments and the grants have been received.
Revenue grants are recognised in profit and loss in the period in which the company recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate.
Grants used to finance capital expenditure will be recognised over the useful life of the asset under construction in future periods along with associated depreciation.
