NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023
Global Agriculture Management Limited is a private company limited by shares, registered in England & Wales. The address of the principal place of business is Amersham Court, 154 Station Road, Amersham, Buckinghamshire, HP6 5DW. The registered office address is detailed on the company information page.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis. The Company incurred a net loss before tax of £75,696 (2022 - £77,922) during the year ended 31 October 2023, and at that date, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its total assets by £1,526,841 (2022 - £1,451,145) and it had net current liabilities of £1,526,841 (2022 - £1,451,145). The company owes £1,046,533 (2022 - £993,070) to a fellow subsidiary, Andropovsk Farms Limited, and this is repayable on demand. In addition, the Company had entered into a cross guarantee with Andropovsk Farms Limited (as explained in note 8) on which the potential liability is £42,423,562 (2022 - £39,456,600) at 31 October 2023. The Directors do not have any reason to believe that the cross guarantee will be enforced. Andropovsk Farms Limited is also reliant upon loans from the parent Company, Exagris Limited, which are repayable on demand, not being required to be repaid. The Directors do not have any reason to believe that these liabilities will be required to be paid until the company is in a position to do so. The Directors have received written assurance that these loans will not be required to be repaid within 12 months from the date of signing these accounts, however this is not a guarantee.
These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would result if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.
Functional and presentation currency
The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.
Revenue represents income receivable from land rental during the period. Rental income is recognised in line
with rental agreements, with income charged annually in arrears.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
Operating lease agreements
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
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.
Investment property rented to other group entities and accounted for under the cost model is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using either the straight line method.
|
|
|
|
Long-term leasehold property
|
|
|
No depreciation is provided on leasehold properties as they relate solely to land and the directors consider the market value to be greater than current carrying value. All leasehold properties are held for use in operating leases.
Fixed asset investments are stated at cost less provision for diminution in value.
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial
assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans
to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
|
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 0 (2022 - 0).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023
The parent company is Exagris Limited, a company incorporated in England & Wales.
The results of the company are included in Exagris Limited consolidated financial statements, and this is the largest and smallest group for which group accounts are drawn up.

The auditor's report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2023 was unqualified.
|
In their report, the auditor emphasised the following matter without qualifying their report:
The audit report accompanying the full version of these accounts is unqualified however the auditor drew attention to a material uncertainty related to going concern, the excerpt from the full audit report is below:
We draw attention to note 2.2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss before tax of £75,696 (2022 - £77,922) during the year ended 31 October 2023, and at that date, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its total assets by £1,526,841 (2022 - £1,451,145) and it had net current liabilities of £1,526,841 (2022 - £1,451,145). In addition, the Company had entered into a cross guarantee with Andropovsk Farms Limited as explained in note 8, which is repayable on demand. The Directors do not have any reason to believe that the cross guarantee will be enforced and Andropovsk Farms Limited continues to make repayments on the parent company loans as cash flow allows. The Directors have received written assurance that these loans will not be required to be repaid within 12 months from the date of signing these accounts, however this is not a guarantee.
As stated in note 2.2, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.2, indicate that a
material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

The audit report was signed on 30 July 2024 by Andrew Wooding FCA (Senior Statutory Auditor) on behalf of Menzies LLP.
