for the Period Ended 31 March 2026

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life. Land and buildings - in accordance with the property

    Other accounting policies

    Financial instruments The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. Trade and other debtors Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments and bank overdrafts. In the balance sheet, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. Trade and other creditors Short term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Taxation Taxation for the period 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 period 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. Going concern The directors have considered the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The company was established to hold land and buildings occupied and is not operated as a trading entity.

Company activities and impact

Purchase and ownership of the Land formerly known as the Yarmouth Primary School, allowing the Isle of wight Council to retain land for Affordable housing. The major part of the site was let to the Maritime Archaeology Trust, a charity, for the prupose of having a permanent exhibition of maritime artefacts, and to explain Yarmouth’s part of maritime history. Also there would be plans to use the buildings for other community uses. The Trust has already attracted around 30 volunteers to work together on the project. Another part of the site is reserved for the use of Scouts and Guides, and there have been meetings with local Scouting and Guide associations. The museum and exhibitions will provide some employment to people of Yarmouth ( Isle of Wight) and attract visitors who will benefit other commercial activities in the town.

Consultation with stakeholders

We made a presentation to the Yarmouth Town Council , who have appointed a representative to attend our meetings who provides updates. We have reported to the Yarmouth Town Trust who have appointed its chairman to be a director, and who reports to that Trust. Many of the volunteers at the old school buildings live in Yarmouth. There were open days on May 23-24th 2026 which requested visitors to comment on the ideas for the maritime centre. The Maritime Archaeology Trust will be consulting the community on building extension plans once finalised. Our directors have had a number of emails and meetings with leaders of the local Scouts and Guides Associations and remain in contact over plans.
