Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Oceanway Fishing Company Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in Scotland. 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.

Turnover
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received for the sale of fish, vessel charter or quota sales in the ordinary course of the company's activities. Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recognised under the cost model and are amortised over their useful economic life unless otherwise stated.

Amortisation
Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:


Asset class
Amortisation method and
rate
Licences and fishing track recordNo amortisation

Departure from requirements of FRS102
No amortisation has been charged on the boat licences, entitlements and track record. The treatment is a departure from the requirement of FRS102 and the Companies Act. However the directors consider that systematic annual ammortisation would be inappropriate. In their opinion there has been no impairment in their value of the intangible assets during the year and they do not envisage any impairment arising in the foreseeable future. They have based their assessment on the grounds that the licences, entitlements and track record have an infinite life under current legislation so long as certain conditions are complied with and also the fact that there is no expectation that the market value of the intangible assets will fall in the foreseeable future.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and gear - 20% on reducing balance
Vessel - 4% on cost
Commercial vehicles - 25% on reducing balance

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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.

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
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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 3 (2024 - 3 ) .
