1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Global Fisheries Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in Northern Ireland. 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.

The financial statements have been prepared in UK £ sterling.

Turnover

Turnover represents amounts receivable for fish sales provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and VAT. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that economic benefit will flow to the company and when its value can be measured with a sufficient degree of certainty and reliability. All income is recognised in the accounting period to which it relates.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets comprise fishing licence and quota. After initial recognition, the licence and quota is measured at estimated market valuation. Any gains and losses on revaluation are recognised through the profit & loss account or as other comprehensive income in line with relevant accounting standards.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fishing vessel

-

12.5% on cost and 5% on cost

Marine equipment

-

12.5% on cost

Tangible fixed assets are included at cost less depreciation and impairment. The residual value is reassessed at the end of each accounting period.

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.

Foreign currencies

The functional currency of the company is the Euro (€) with the bulk of the day to day operating transactions being undertaken in this currency. The company is registered in Scotland and therefore the directors have opted to present the financial information in sterling (£).

Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Fixed Assets are valued at the historical rate of exchange. Transactions in currencies, other than the functional currency (€), which take place during the course of the financial year are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Any exchange differences arising during the financial year are reported through the Profit & Loss Account and are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. Exchange gains or losses which arise on conversion of the functional currency balances to the currency used for presentation in the Financial Statements are reported through the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income/Losses.

3.	EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was NIL (2023 - NIL).
