NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023
Andropovsk Farms Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the principal place of business is Amersham Court, 154 Station Road, Amersham, Buckinghamshire, HP6 5DW. The address of the registered office 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 £3,000,740 (2022: £9,708,043) during the year ended 31 October 2023 and, at that date, the company's current liabilities exceeded its total assets by £42,717,655 (2022: £39,755,362) and it had net current liabilities of £42,717,655 (2022: £39,755,362). The company owes £42,423,563 (2022: £39,456,600) to its parent company Exagris Limited and the amount is repayable on demand. The Directors do not have any reason to believe that these loans will be required to be repaid 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.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
∙the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
∙the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
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:
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 profit or loss.
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.
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.
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.
Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2023
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 £3,000,740 (2022 - £9,708,043) during the year ended 31 October 2023 and, at that date, the company's current liabilities exceeded its total assets by £42,717,655 (2022 - £39,755,362) and it had net current liabilities of £42,717,655 (2022 - £39,755,362). The company owes £42,423,563 (2022 - £39,456,600) to its parent company Exagris Limited and the amount is repayable on demand. The Directors do not have any reason to believe that these loans will be required to be repaid until the company is in a position to do so and it 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.
