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

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Arden 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. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

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.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Significant judgements and estimates
The directors revalue the Company's investment properties each year. The determination of the fair value of each property requires the use of estimates and assumptions in relation to factors such as future rental income and current market conditions.

Turnover
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of goods and services, excluding value added tax, and receipt of farming subsidies. Turnover is recognised on delivery of produce and livestock or on provision of service. Subsidies are recognised as income when the relevant conditions are met.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation and impairment.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset, subject to their residual value, over their estimated useful life.

Freehold landNot depreciated

Buildings5% on cost and 2% on cost

Plant and machinery etc 20% on cost and 15% on cost

Investment property
Investment properties are shown at the most recent fair value. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the Fair Value Reserve. Deferred taxation is provided on gains and is recognised in the Fair Value Reserve. No depreciation is provided on Investment Properties.

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
Cash and bank balances
Cash and bank balances are recognised at transaction price.

Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Loans and borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction it is measured at the present value of future payments.

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.

Other operating income
Other operating income represents rents receivable from the occupation of properties. Rent receivable is recognised for the period to which it relates.

4. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 3 (2022 - 3 ) .
