| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| John O'Groats Ferries Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| The company did not resume its trade in the year to 31 March 2025. The costs incurred in the year relate to maintaining the company's ferry vessel, MV Pentland in a saleable condition; advertising it for sale and other work involved with a view to the company entering into a Members' Voluntary Liquidation in the next 12 months. |
| TURNOVER |
| Turnover represents amounts derived from the operation of a passenger ferry service from John O'Groats together with the provision of tours on the Orkney islands. |
| FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION |
| All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on all tangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual value of each asset, evenly over its expected useful life as follows: |
| Land and buildings | 4% | reducing balance |
| Plant and machinery | 5% | reducing balance |
| Caravans | 10% | reducing balance |
| Motor vehicles | 10% | reducing balance |
| INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES |
| Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at 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 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. |
