| Directors' Report | |||||||
| The Directors present their report and the audited financial statements for The Lundy Company Limited (the"Company") for the year ended 31 December 2025. | |||||||
| Principal Activity | |||||||
| The principal activities of the Company are the administration of the island of Lundy, the management of 23 holiday properties and the carrying out of a programme of improvements on the island | |||||||
| Directors | |||||||
| The following persons served as directors during the year: | |||||||
| Business Review | |||||||
| During the review year, the Company enjoyed high occupancy of its holiday lets (88%), holding at similar levels to the previous year (2024 - 88%). The M.S. Oldenburg suffered a short one week delay to the start of the sailing season followed by, for the second year running, unprecedented levels of cancelled sailings arising from poor weather, impacting both day trip passenger numbers and stayers on the island. The cancelled sailings affected letting income as well as outlet income for the ship, shop and tavern. |
|||||||
| In total £3,351,125 of revenue was earned from operational activities (2024 - £3,207,890). The year on year increase has been driven by inflationary price increases across all revenue streams, including holiday lets, Island outlets and income earned from the M.S. Oldenburg sailings and helicopter flights. Also included in turnover for 2025 is £62,403 of income in relation to the brought forward insurance claim following the flooding of MS Oldenburg in 2022 (£84,622 recognised in 2024). This claim has now been fully settled, and no further sums are due. | |||||||
| During 2025 the Company received £189,272 of grant related income (2024 - £291,577) classified as 'other operating income' in the Statement of Comprehensive Income including: £126,755 of farm-related grants (2024- £110,935). Other grants include £10,600 from St. Helen's Parochial Church Council (PCC) as contribution towards the Educational Officer position (2024 - £10,600); a Department of Work and Pensions Access to Work grant of £1,144; and a £1,734 from Lundy Field Society. The Lundy Fund received £49,040 (2024 - £79,923) of generous donations during 2025. | |||||||
| Cost of sales for the year totalled £1,037,600 (2024 - £960,674), with increased spend being driven by cost of food, household goods and souvenirs, as well as inflationary cost increases in most other areas. During 2025, the Company's administrative expenses totalled £2,921,838 (2024 - £2,657,288). The £264,550 increase can be attributed to additional repair costs for M.S. Oldenburg, increased staffing costs (including social security costs) as well as additional maintenance. Lundy's maintenance works for the year included the installation of a new air source heat pump at Stoneycroft, extensive roof works to both let property and operational buildings as well as continued replacement of double glazing in the let properties. |
|||||||
| Going Concern | |||||||
| The Company has carried forward reserves of £800,292 on 2025 close. Current reserves have provided Directors with the necessary reassurance that they have sufficient funds to cover any losses incurred in the first quarter of 2026 such as unfavourable weather. Strong forward bookings together with budgeting and cash flow forecasting support the assessment that the Company is in a positive position in relation to cash and reserves over the next 12 months. The Company's ship, the M.S. Oldenburg, is currently certified and commenced the sailing season in early April. The Directors have not identified any material uncertainty relating to going concern. The Directors therefore consider it appropriate that the financial statements continue to be prepared using the going concern assumption. |
|||||||
| Qualifying third-party indemnity provisions | |||||||
| The Company has in place directors' and officers' liability insurance to indemnify them against claims from third parties. | |||||||
| Disclosure of information to auditors | |||||||
| Each person who was a Director at the time when this Director's Report is approved confirms that: | |||||||
| ● | so far as the Director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditor is unaware; and | ||||||
| ● | the Director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a Director in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditor is aware of that information. | ||||||
| Auditor | |||||||
| The auditor, BDO LLP, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006. |
|||||||

| Dr A J Keay | |||||||
| The Lundy Company Limited | |||||||
| Statement of Directors' Responsibilities | |||||||
| The Directors are responsible for preparing the report and 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 (Financial Reporting Standard 102 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 company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: | |||||||
| ● | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; | ||||||
| ● | make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and | ||||||
| ● | state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; | ||||||
| ● | 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 company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of 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 company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. | |||||||
| The Lundy Company Limited | ||
| Independent auditor's report | ||
| to the members of The Lundy Company Limited | ||
| Opinion on the financial statements | ||
| In our opinion the financial statements: • give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its 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. |
||
| We have audited the financial statements of The Lundy Company Limited (“the Company”) for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise of the following: • Statement of Comprehensive Income; • Statement of Financial Position; • Notes 1 to 15 to the financial statements; and • 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). |
||
| 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’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. | ||
| Independence | ||
| We are independent of the Company 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. | ||
| 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 Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are 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 Directors' report, Strategic 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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. | ||
| Opinions on other matters 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 the Directors’ report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and • the Strategic report and the Directors’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. In the light of the 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 or the Directors’ report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: • adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or • the 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; or • the Directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the Directors’ report, and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report. |
||
| Responsibilities of directors | ||
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors Responsibilities, 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 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 Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. | ||
| 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. |
||
| Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud | ||
| 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: | ||
| Non-compliance with laws and regulations | ||
| Based on: • Our understanding of the Company and the industry in which it operates; and • Discussion with management and those charged with governance; and • Obtaining and understanding of the Company’s policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We considered the significant laws and regulations to be the applicable accounting framework and UK tax legislation and Companies Act 2006. The Company is also subject to laws and regulations where the consequence of non-compliance could have a material effect on the amount or disclosures in the financial statements, for example through the imposition of fines or litigations. We identified such laws and regulations to be the health and safety legislation and Bribery Act 2010. |
||
| Our procedures in respect of the above included: • Enquires of management whether there were any litigations and claims; • Review of minutes of meeting of those charged with governance for any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; • Review of correspondence with tax authorities for any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; and • Review of financial statement disclosures and agreeing to supporting documentation and • Review of legal expenditure accounts to understand the nature of expenditure incurred. |
||
| Fraud | ||
| We assessed the susceptibility of the financial statements to material misstatement, including fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included: • Enquiry with management and those charged with governance regarding any known or suspected instances of fraud; • Obtaining an understanding of the Company’s policies and procedures relating to: - Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud; and - Internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud. • Review of minutes of meeting of those charged with governance for any known or suspected instances of fraud; • Discussion amongst the engagement team as to how and where fraud might occur in the financial statement: and • Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. Based on our risk assessment, we considered the area most susceptible to fraud to be management override of control. |
||
| Based on our risk assessment, we considered the areas most susceptible to fraud to be management override of control. Our procedures in respect of the above included: • Testing a sample of journal entries throughout the year, which met a defined risk criteria, by agreeing to supporting documentation; and • Assessing estimates made by management for bias, including depreciation and valuation of stocks; and • Review of minutes of meeting of those charged with governance for any instances of any actual or potential frauds or potential weaknesses in internal control which could result in fraud susceptibility |
||
| Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that 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 concealment by, for example, forgery, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it. |
||
| A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. |
||
| Use of our report | ||
| This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. | ||

| The Lundy Company Limited | ||||||||
| Notes to the Accounts | ||||||||
| for the year ended 31 December 2025 | ||||||||
| 1 | General Information | |||||||
| The Lundy Company Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales under the Companies Act 2006. Details of the registered office are given on the Company Information page and the nature of the Company's operations and its principal activities are set out in the Directors' Report. | ||||||||
| 2 | Accounting Policies | |||||||
| 2.1 | Basis of preparation of financial statements | |||||||
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3). The functional and presentational currency is pounds sterling and amounts presented are rounded to the nearest pound. The following principal accounting policies have been applied: |
||||||||
| 2.2 | Going Concern | |||||||
| 2.3 | Turnover | |||||||
| 2.4 | Operating Leases: the Company as Lessee | |||||||
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. | ||||||||
| 2.5 | Pensions | |||||||
| Defined contribution pension plan The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in other creditors as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds. |
||||||||
| 2.6 | Other operating income | |||||||
| Income from government and other grants, whether capital or revenue, is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when the Company has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably | ||||||||
| 2.7 | Interest income | |||||||
| Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest method | ||||||||
| 2.8 | Taxation | |||||||
| Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income. |
||||||||
| 2.9 | Tangible fixed assets | |||||||
| Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Depreciation is provided on the following basis: Long leasehold buildings Shorter of lease term or expected useful life Plant, fixtures and fittings -3 - 10 years Shipping -5 - 15 years The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. |
||||||||
| 2.10 | Stocks | |||||||
At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The value of livestock is based upon an annual valuation. A substantial proportion of the livestock are valued via the Exeter Livestock Market. |
||||||||
| 2.11 | ||||||||
| 2.12 | Cash and cash equivalents | |||||||
| 2.13 | ||||||||
| 2.14 | Financial instruments | |||||||
| The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Statement of Financial Position when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
||||||||
| Basic financial assets | ||||||||
| Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments. |
||||||||
| Basic finanical liabilities | ||||||||
| Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences aresidual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities. Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. |
||||||||
| Derecognition of financial assets | ||||||||
| Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained. | ||||||||
| Derecognition of financial liabilities | ||||||||
| Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled | ||||||||
| 3 | Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty | |||||||
| The Directors consider there to be no significant judgements used in preparing the financial statements. Other key sources of estimation uncertainty; ● Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values. ● Livestock are valued professionally with sufficient regularity so that they are not materially misstated. The valuations have been prepared on the basis of Market Value (MV) which is defined as the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and seller in an arms length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. There is an inevitable degree of judgement involve in that each livestock asset is unique and value can only ultimately be reliably tested in the market itself. |

| The profit and loss account represents the cumulative profits or losses, net of dividents paid and other adjustments | ||||||||
| 12 | Prior Year Adjustment | |||||||
| The Directors have reconsidered the treatment and presentation of deferred income balances on the Statement of Financial Position, relating to deposit payments for bookings in advance. It was determined that a portion oef this balance related to bookings during the financial year ending 31 December 2026, and should therefore be classified as a creditor falling due after more than one year rather than a current liability falling due within one year. In the prior year's financial statements, creditors falling due within one year have therefore decreased by £191,181 from £1,135,256 to £944,075. Creditors falling due after more than one year have increased by the same from £Nil to £191,181. Total assets less current liabilities have also increased by the same from £1,168,208 to £1,359,389. There has been no impact to the value of net assets, or equity as at 31 December 2024 as a result of these adjustments. |

| 13 | Commitments under operating leases | |||||||
