Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Ocean Terminal 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.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


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.

Going concern
The current loan facility agreement has now expired and negotiations regarding its extension are ongoing with no formal agreement having yet been reached. The lenders have provided a letter of comfort stating that they will not initiate any actions that would have a material adverse effect on the company's operations or their value of assets and liabilities at 31 December 2024.

The directors are confident that the lenders will continue to support the business and as such conclude that the company will continue to operate for the next 12 months. However, the directors acknowledge that if the facility is not extended this may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Based on the above, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Revenue recognition
Rental income from investment property leased out under operating leases is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease together with any further term for which the tenant has the option to continue the lease, where, at the inception of the lease, the directors are reasonable certain that the tenant will exercise that option.

Contingent rents, such as turnover rents, rent reviews and indexation, are recorded as income in the periods in which they are earned.

Rent reviews are recognised when such review have been agreed with tenants.

When the company provides incentives to its tenants, the cost of the incentives are recognised over the lease term, on a straight-line basis, as a reduction of rental income.

Investment property
Investment properties for which fair value can be measured reliably without undue cost or effort on an ongoing basis are measured at fair value annually with any change recognised in the profit and loss account.

This is in accordance with FRS 102 which, unlike the Companies Act 2006, does not require depreciation of
investment properties. Investment properties are held for their investment potential and not for use by the company so their current value is of prime importance. The departure from the provisions of the act is required in order to give a true and fair view.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due with appropriate allowances for irrecoverable amounts when there is objective evidence the asset is impaired.

Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash in hand and bank overdrafts.

Creditors
Trade and other creditors are recognised where the company has a present obligation resulting from a past event and are recognised at the settlement amount due after allowing for any trade discounts due.

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.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

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

The directors believe the previous valuation plus the current and prior year additions provide an appropriate valuation of the property as at the year end date.

The historical cost of the company's investment property as at 31 December 2024 was £107.2m (2023: £102.0m).
