1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| John O'Groats Ferries 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.

| The company did not resume its trade in the year to 31 March 2025. The costs incurred in the year relate to maintaining the company's ferry vessel, MV Pentland in a saleable condition; advertising it for sale and other work involved with a view to the company entering into a Members' Voluntary Liquidation in the next 12 months.

| FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION

| All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided on all tangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual value of each asset, evenly over its expected useful life as follows:

| Land and buildings |  | 4% |  | reducing balance |  |

| Plant and machinery |  | 5% |  | reducing balance |  |

| Caravans |  | 10% |  | reducing balance |  |

| Motor vehicles |  | 10% |  | reducing balance |  |

| INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES

| Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost.

| 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.

| HIRE PURCHASE AND LEASING COMMITMENTS

| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
