NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Gardiner ICM Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in Scotland. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The presentation currency is £ sterling.

Principal activity and turnover
The company's principal activities are that of the sale of agro-chemicals and the provision of agronomy consultancy services .
Turnover represents the amounts (excluding value added tax) derived from the provision of goods and rendering of services to customers during the year.
The company recognises revenue on the sale of agro-chemicals when:
(a) the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer;
(b) the company retains no continuing involvement or control over the goods ;
(c) the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
(d) it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity.
The company recognises revenue on the provision of agronomy services in the accounting period in which the services are rendered, when the outcome of the contract can be estimated reliably.


The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.

Property improvements - 10% on cost
Plant and machinery etc - 25% on reducing balance and 20% on reducing balance

Impairment of assets
At each reporting date fixed assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any affected asset is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the estimated recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount is reduced to its estimated recoverable amount, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit or loss.

If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and selling price less costs to complete and sell.

Financial instruments
The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

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 the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate.

Debtors
Unless stated all debtors are recoverable within one year and are recorded at their nominal value with no interest being usually chargeable.
They are assessed for recoverability on an ongoing basis and any losses arising from impairment are recognised immediately in the profit or loss account.

Creditors
Short term creditors are recorded at their transaction price. Other financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Going concern
The directors, having made due and careful enquiry, are of the opinion that the company has adequate working capital to execute its operations for the next 12 months.
As a result, the directors have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 5 (2022 - 5 ) .
