NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Aurora Marine Fuels Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

Items included in the financial statements of the company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates (the "functional currency").

The functional currency of the company, and the currency in which the financial statements are presented (the "presentational currency"), is 'Pounds Sterling' (£) rounded to the nearest single unit of currency.

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 directors have, at the time of issuing the financial statements, an expectation that the company will generate sufficient working capital and have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

The directors continue to review operational performance on a regular basis, with particular attention to external factors affecting the business. The ongoing Middle East conflict has had a substantial effect on the global maritime sector, resulting in significant disruptions to energy supply chains, shipping routes, and the availability of marine fuels.

Despite these industry-wide challenges, the company has maintained stable trading performance and has not experienced any material decline in its operations to the date of approval of these financial statements.

On this basis, the directors consider that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.

Significant judgements and estimates
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable expectations of future events. Management believes that the estimates used in preparing this financial statements are reasonable. Actual results in the future may differ from those reported and it is therefore reasonably possible, on the basis of existing knowledge, that outcomes within the next financial year that are different from management's assumptions and estimates could require an adjustment to the carrying amounts of the reported assets and liabilities in future reporting periods.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Turnover
Turnover represents revenue from brokerage commissions received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Brokerage fees consist of revenue associated with the arranging of marine luboil and bunkering of vessels as an agent, whereby the company matches such orders from customers with bunker/luboil suppliers. Revenue is recognised when the company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer by the physical supplier, which is when the customer obtains control of the good or service.

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 machinery etc - 33% straight line

Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiary entities are stated at cost less impairment.

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.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
