Significant judgements and estimates |
The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. Management are also required to exercise judgement in the process of applying the company's accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below: |
In preparing these financial statements, the directors have made the following judgements: |
- Determine whether leases entered into by the company either as a lessor or a lessee are operating or finance leases. These decisions depend on an assessment of whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred from the lessor to the lessee on a lease by lease basis based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements, and accordingly whether the lease requires an asset and liability to be recognised in the statement of financial position. |
- A provision is recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event for which it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flow at a rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. |
- Whether a present obligation is probable or not requires judgement. The nature and type of risks for these provisions differ and management's judgement is applied regarding the nature and extent of obligations in deciding if an outflow of resources is probable or not. |
- Sales ledger debt provisions. Management review debts on a case by case basis to highlight deviation from terms and therefore possible provision requirement. |
- Investment property interim valuations - Management have extensive experience holding a significant portfolio of investment properties within a wider group, carrying out interim year end assessments of continued carrying value based on the market, future rental streams and general condition and demand in the area for type of property held. Any anticipated longer term movements are provided as necessary. |
- Stock provisions. Monitored by management on an ongoing basis in line with market conditions, trends and significant movements, who use knowledge of the market and extensive experience gained over many years buying and selling within a niche market, backed up by external expert valuations where deemed significant. Provision is made for any items whose carrying value is deemed higher than longer term market conditions and demand would dictate. |
- Depreciation and residual values. Management have reviewed the asset lives and associated residual values of all fixed asset classes and concluded that they are 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 technological innovation, 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 projects disposal values. |

Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Revenue |
Revenue arises from operating leases on properties owned by the company and is accounted for on a straight line basis over the period commencing on the start date of the lease and ending on the end date of the lease. revenue excludes services charges and other costs directly recovered from the tenant. |
Other income |
Other income comprises amounts receivable for investment properties, shares and agricultural produce sold during the year. |
Revenue from the sale of investment properties is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the properties have passed over to the buyer, usually when legally binding contracts are exchanged. Revenue is therefore recognised when the legal title passes to the purchaser on completion. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment. |
Investment property |
Investment properties are held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. |
Investment properties are initially recognised at costs including director transaction costs. Investment properties are subsequently valued externally on an open market basis at the statement of financial position date and recorded at valuation. Any surplus or deficit arising on revaluing investment properties is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the year it arises. Deferred tax is provided on these gains at the rate expected to apply when the property is sold. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
Cost is defined as: |
Vehicles - the purchase cost of bringing each vehicle to its present location and condition. |
Crops - direct costs of seed, fertiliser and farm contractors. |
Net realisable value is based on estimated selling price, less any further costs expected to be incurred to completion and disposal. |
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. |
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. |
