Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Turnover arising from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer. Turnover arising from the provision of services is recognised as contract activity progresses and the right to consideration is earned. |
Goodwill |
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of a business in 2002, has been fully amortised over its estimated useful life of ten years. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Robotic milking equipment | - |
Land | - |
Property improvements | - |
Plant and machinery | - |
Tractors | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
Office equipment | - |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value by the directors with the exception of the animals on herd basis. Cost includes all direct expenditure and appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Net realisable value is based on estimated selling prices less further costs expected to be incurred in bringing the growing crops to completion and finishing the livestock. |
Financial instruments |
The following assets and liabilities are classified as financial instruments - trade debtors, trade creditors, accruals, hire purchase contracts, bank loans and directors' loans. |
Bank loans and hire purchase contracts are initially measured at the present value of future payments, discounted at a market rate of interest, and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Directors' loans (being repayable on demand), trade debtors, trade creditors and accruals are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. |
Financial assets that are measured at amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings. |

Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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. |
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
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. |
Investments |
Current asset investments are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. |
Employee benefits |
Short term employee benefits, including holiday pay, are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the period in which they are incurred. |
Provisions |
Provisions are set up only where it is probable that a present obligation exists as a result of an event prior to the balance sheet date and that a payment will be required in settlement that can be estimated reliably. Where material, provisions are calculated on a discounted basis. |
Going concern |
The directors have considered the company's financial position for a minimum period of 12 months and beyond from the date of signing these financial statements and has an expectation that the company should be in a position to continue trading in the current format for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements. |
