Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Rudd Farms Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. 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.

Turnover
Turnover is recognised to the extent that the company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership of goods to the buyer, or has rendered services under an agreement provided the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company. Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding sales taxes and discounts.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Land and buildings - 2% on cost
Plant and machinery etc - Straight line over 15 years, Straight line over 5 years, Straight line over 6 years and Straight line over 3 years

Property, plant and equipment are tangible assets which the company holds for its own use or for rental to others and which are expected to be used for more than one period. An item of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the company, and the cost of the item can be measured reliability.

Property, plant and equipment is initially measured at cost. Cost includes costs incurred initially to acquire or construct an item of property, plant and equipment and costs incurred subsequently to add to, replace part of, or service it. If a replacement cost is recognised in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment, the carrying amount of the replacement part is derecognised.

Property, plant and equipment is subsequently stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, except for land which is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation of an asset commences when the asset is available for use as intended by management. Depreciation is charged to write off the asset's carrying amount over its estimated useful life to its estimated residual value, using a method that best reflects the pattern in which the asset's economic benefits are consumed by the company.

When indicators are present that the useful lives and residual values of items of property, plant and equipment have changes since the most recent annual reporting date, they are reassessed. Any changes are accounted for prospectively as a change in accounting estimate.

Investment property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Stocks
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition.

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.

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.

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.

Biological assets
Biological assets for which fair value is determinable without undue cost or effort are measured at fair value less costs to sell, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. All other biological assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Biological assets that meet the definition of bearer plants are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Bearer plants are measured at accumulated costs until maturity, similar to the accounting to self-constructed item of property, plant and equipment. All costs relating to the development of the bearer plants are capitalised until the bearer plant has reached maturity. Agricultural produce growing on bearer plants remain in the scope of IAS 41 Agriculture and are measured at fair value less costs to sell with changes recognised in the profit or loss as the produce grows.

Argricultural produce is measured at fair value less costs to sell at the point of harvest. Such measurement is regarded as the cost on the date of applying IAS 2 Inventories. Gains or losses on initial measurement are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.

The use of the fair value model for agricultural produce is only used where the fair value in readily determinable without undue cost or effort.

11. GOING CONCERN

We draw attention to the fact that at 31 December 2023, the company had accumulated losses of £4,207,980 and that the company's total liabilities exceeded its assets by £4,207,976.

The annual financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting policies applicable to going concern. This basis presumes that funds will be available to finance future operations and that the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments will occur in the ordinary course of business.

The ability of the company to continue as a going concern is dependent on a number of factors. The most significant of these is that the the company director and group members continues to procure funding for the ongoing operations of the company.
