Tresco Island Limited

Strategic Report

Year Ended 30 April 2025

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 30 April 2025.

Principal activity

The principal activity of the group is operating holiday centres and villages.

Fair review of the business

Tresco Island Limited (“TIL”)’s core business remains the unique vacation destination of Tresco, a family-owned island, held through long leasehold interests granted by the Duchy of Cornwall, since 1834. Situated in the Isles of Scilly archipelago, some 28 miles off the southwest coast of Cornwall the island is one of only 46 National Landscape areas in the United Kingdom.

On Tresco, TIL operates over 100 exceptional, characterful holiday properties and a 16-room inn (the New Inn). 2025 saw strong visitor demand, with cottage occupancy rates between 90% and 100% throughout the peak months of May to September. This, in turn, lead to strong on-island spend in Tresco’s wide range of supporting services, which include retail stores, restaurants and cafés, contributing to the 14% increase in Group turnover achieved in the year.

TIL’s 25-room luxury retreat hotel, Hell Bay Hotel on the neighbouring island of Bryher, operates a shorter season, opening from Easter to mid-October and also enjoyed strong room occupancy and high food and beverage spend during the year.

Tresco’s world-famous Abbey Garden established in the 19th century around the ruins of a Benedictine Abbey continued to flourish, again welcoming guests from around the world. The garden is a sanctuary for some 2,000 specimens from across the southern hemisphere and subtropics, from Brazil to New Zealand; Myanmar to South Africa. The annual flower count, conducted on New Year’s Day every year since 1862, on 1st January 2025 identified almost 300 different species of exotic plants in bloom.

Tresco has a strong local community of about 120 people, the majority of whom are involved with the running of the business and maintaining the infrastructure. The seasonal nature of the business sees staffing requirements rise during the summer months to support the business. At any one time in the peak of the season TIL will welcome up to 650 guests accommodated across Tresco, together with some 50 guests at the Hell Bay Hotel on Bryher. Tresco also welcomes up to 5000 day visitors a month during our trading season including from visiting cruise ships, the UK mainland and the other islands of the archipelago.

This report and accompanying accounts relate to the year ended 30th April 2025 and was the first full year of trading since the business was transferred from the Tresco Estate Partnership to TIL in 2023.

The strategic management of the company lies with the board of directors. Adam Dorrien-Smith, as principal executive lead for the board, guides a small senior management team comprising CEO, CFO and CSO, along with a newly appointed Head of Estate & Gardens. Nick Halliday (CEO) has been in position since 2019, Dean Whillis (CSO) has been a part of both the senior and wider management teams for over 20 years, Richard Rose (CFO) joined in 2024 and Alasdair Moore joined as Head of Estate & Gardens in 2025.



 

 

Tresco Island Limited

Strategic Report

Year Ended 30 April 2025

During the year, TIL acquired 100% of the equity of Boutique and Breakfast Limited from two of its directors. Boutique & Breakfast Limited owns and operates a boutique, bed & breakfast style hotel in Bristol, England, which trades under the name of No38 Clifton. As part of the acquisition, TIL took out 2 loan facilities with its main bankers, Hoare & Co. One is a fixed interest facility for £750,000 the other a floating interest facility of £465,000. The proceeds of these facilities were used to extinguish Boutique & Breakfast Limited’s existing facility with Weatherbys bank.

The financial performance of the Group for the year to 30th April 2025 showed turnover of £20,297,752 (2024 £17,801,039) and a loss after tax of £850,619 (2024 profit £238,650). These results reflect a strong top line performance with high occupancy rates and on-island spend, offset by the exceptional impairment of goodwill arising on the acquisition of Boutique & Breakfast Limited of £618,196 (2024 £nil), as well as a significant increase in depreciation charges following investments in the Island’s properties and infrastructure and continued cost pressures from rising regulatory and employment costs.

TIL generates cash through its day-to-day operations, most of which is reinvested within the business through development in and improvement of both residential and holiday accommodation on the island, as well as the infrastructure around them. Embedded within the net cash flow generated through operating activities is a significant balance invested in the holiday cottages through repairs and renewals. This investment maintains the quality of our customer offering and ensures the unique characteristics of the island are maintained.

During 2024/25 Tresco Island’s largest capital investment was in the Racket Town cottage which overlooks the Great Pool a SSSi. In addition, investments were made into staff accommodation, the Abbey Gardens, New Grimsby quay, Valhalla and in road repairs. Going forward there are plans to invest further into staff accommodation, the Island Stores, Hell Bay Hotel and other infrastructure projects, continuing to improve the longer term sustainability of Tresco’s offering.

The directors regularly review Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), such operational KPIs include occupancy rates across our cottages and hotels, average spends per cover in each of our restaurants and margins in our retail outlets. These indicators assist the directors to maintain profitability and positive operating cash flows. The disclosure of these KPIs is deemed to be prejudicial to the interests of the company.

 

Tresco Island Limited

Strategic Report

Year Ended 30 April 2025

Principal risks and uncertainties

The directors have considered and summarise here the main risks faced by the business:

• Tourism in the South West of England is seeing signs that the surge in growth, bolstered by the Covid-19 Pandemic and consequent staycations, is reducing. Whilst fluctuations in demand with altered booking patterns are a concern for the sector generally, Tresco does have the strong advantage in that it’s forward bookings and underlying repeat Island Share visitors continue to provide strong visibility of future business.

• As with all businesses, recent cost inflation pressures, especially around heat/light/power and regulatory costs have created challenges.

• The ability to recruit and retain suitable staff across all levels in the tourism and leisure sector continues to be ia recurring risk.

• Tresco’s geographic location does provide some specific risks:
 

• Islands are exposed to the full force of nature, whilst the gulf stream can provide milder weather for Tresco and the temperate climate benefits the Abbey Gardens, storm damages can be extreme and unpredictable.
• As an island the business is dependent on transport links not only from the UK mainland but also between the islands.

• Transport to and from the mainland is multi-modal, including the helicopter service out of Penzance to Tresco and St Mary’s. There is a significant reliance on the Isles of Scilly Steamship Company who operate not only the freight service between Cornwall and St Mary’s and the inter-island freight transportation, but also the seasonal ferry operating daily from Penzance (the Scillonian).

• The existing ships which operate this route are close to the end of their operational life, but replacement vessels are being built and anticipated to be in service and operational (freight) in 2026 and (passengers) in 2027. The Steamship company’s fixed wing aircraft operation, SkyBus, flies between South West England and St Mary’s,more frequently between April and October.

• TIL operates its own passenger boating service between the islands but other inter-island boating services remain important for the transportation of day visitors to Tresco.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and the company and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the group's and the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the group and the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

 

Tresco Island Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Tresco Island Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Tresco Island Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 April 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and the parent company's affairs as at 30 April 2025 and of the group's loss for the year then ended;

have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group and parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

 

Tresco Island Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Tresco Island Limited

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

the information given in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page 6, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group’s and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

 

Tresco Island Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Tresco Island Limited

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

As part of our audit planning we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that is applicable to the entity and the industry/ sector in which it operates to identify the key laws and regulations affecting the entity. The key laws and regulations we identified were health and safety legislation, corporation tax legislation and compliance with the Civil Aviation Authority regulations. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements including the Companies Act 2006.

As part of our planning procedures, we assessed the risk of any non-compliance with laws and regulations on the entity’s ability to continue trading and the risk of material misstatement to the accounts. Based on this understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with such laws and regulations. Our procedures involved the following:

• Enquiries of management and those charged with governance regarding their knowledge of any non-compliance with laws and regulations that could affect the financial statements;

• Review of legal and professional costs to identify any possible non-compliance or legal costs in respect of non-compliance.

As part of our enquiries we discussed with management whether there have been any known instances, allegations or suspicions of fraud, of which there were none. We also evaluated the risk of fraud through management override including that arising from management’s incentives.

In response to the identified risks, as part of our audit work we:

• Used data analytics to test journal entries throughout the year, for appropriateness;

• Review of estimates and judgements made in the accounts for any indication of bias and challenged assumptions used by management in making the estimates.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate omissions, collusion, forgery, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are also less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

Summary of disclosure exemptions

FRS 102 grants a qualifying entity exemptions from the full requirements of FRS 102. The following exemptions have been taken in these financial statements as the company is deemed to be a qualifying entity:

The company has taken advantage of the exemption, under FRS 102 paragraph 1.12(b), from preparing a Statement of Cash Flows on the basis that it is a qualifying entity and its cash flows are included in the consolidated financial statements of the group. The company is also taking exemption from disclosure of key management personnel compensation and exemption from disclosure of related party transactions entered into between the company and other members of the Tresco Island Limited group.

 

Tresco Island Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year Ended 30 April 2025

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 30 April 2025.

As a consolidated profit and loss account is published, a separate profit and loss account for the parent company is omitted from the group financial statements by virtue of section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is achieved where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Profit and Loss Account from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the group.

The purchase method of accounting is used to account for business combinations that result in the acquisition of subsidiaries by the group. The cost of a business combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised is recorded as goodwill.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between the company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, are eliminated in full.

Intra-group losses are also eliminated but may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the group’s equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling shareholder’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values at acquisition date of assets acquired, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the group in exchange for control of the acquired entity, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. When a business combination agreement provides for an adjustment to the cost of the combination contingent on future events, the group includes the estimated amount of that adjustment in the cost of the combination at the acquisition date if the adjustment is probable and can be measured reliably.

 

Tresco Island Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year Ended 30 April 2025

Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors acknowledge the group and company's net current liability position as at the year end of £8,064,343 and £4,998,652 respectively. This is due to the fact that the majority of creditors is deferred income from deposits and advance rental bookings for future holiday bookings. Cash generation is expected to be adequate to meet the cash liabilities within current creditors, and the business also maintains an operating overdraft facility to manage seasonal fluctuations in cash generation, and therefore the directors have satisifed themselves on the validity of applying the going concern basis of preparation.

Prior period errors

Management identified a prior period error which has been adjusted to ensure the prior year is materially correct: On incorporation, property assets were incorrectly classified as qualifying when they were non-qualifying under the relevant legislation.

The table below illustrates the increase / (decrease) in each financial statement line:

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the group’s accounting policies, which are described in this note, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historically known factors and experience. Therefore, management do not perceive
there to be any critical areas of judgement or key sources of estimation uncertainty in the formulation of the financial statements.

Any estimates and underlying assumptions used by management such as depreciation rates are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Any revision deemed to be required to any accounting estimates would be recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

No such changes or amendments are deemed necessary in either this or the prior period.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year Ended 30 April 2025

Revenue recognition

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and provision of services in the ordinary course of the group’s activities. Turnover is shown net of value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the company.

The group recognises revenue when:
• The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
• it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
• and specific criteria have been met for each of the group's activities.

Tax

Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the balance sheet date unless indicated below. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and the results as stated in the consolidated profit and loss account and other comprehensive income. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class

Depreciation method and rate

Freehold and Leasehold land and buildings

Not depreciated

Fixtures, fittings and equipment

20% Reducing balance

Motor vehicles

20% Reducing balance

Plant and machinery

20% Reducing balance

The directors consider that no depreciation should be provided on leasehold land and buildings, nor art. This is on the basis that any possible depreciation charge would be expected to be immaterial as the residual values are considered to be materially equivalent to their carrying value. The directors maintain the residual value of the property, as evidenced by significant and continuous investment in repairs and maintenance.

Negative goodwill

Negative goodwill is amortised over its useful life, which is the duration of the current lease.

 

Tresco Island Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year Ended 30 April 2025

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

Negative goodwill

1.8% straight line

Investments

Investments in equity shares which are publicly traded or where the fair value can be measured reliably are initially measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.


Interest income on debt securities, where applicable, is recognised in income using the effective interest method. Dividends on equity securities are recognised in income when receivable.

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell; the impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Leases

Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.

Assets held under finance leases are recognised at the lower of their fair value at inception of the lease and the present value of the minimum lease payments. These assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.

Lease payments are apportioned between finance costs in the profit and loss account and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.

 

Tresco Island Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year Ended 30 April 2025

Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Financial instruments

Classification
The company holds the following financial instruments:

• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
• Bank loans; and
• Cash and bank balances.

All financial instruments are classified as basic.

 Recognition and measurement
The company has chosen to apply the recognition and measurement principles in FRS102.

Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.

Except for bank loans, such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.

Bank loans are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
