NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
for the year ended 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Geoffrey Bruce Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, registered in Scotland, registration number SC274099. The registered office is Viewbank, Coupar Angus, Perthshire, PH13 9EU. |
The principal activity of the company is farming. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The presentational and functional currency of the financial statements is Pounds Sterling (£). |
Going concern |
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis despite the fact that Statement of Financial Position is showing a net current liability position of the Company. The key driver for this are loans provided to the Company by related companies, which are all repayable on demand with no fixed terms of repayment. There is no indication that the loans will be recalled, hence the going concern basis of the Company is considered to be appropriate. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
In preparing these financial statements, the director is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Company's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively. |
Plant and equipment |
The estimates and assumptions made to determine asset lives require judgements to be made as regards useful lives and residual values. The useful lives and residual values of the company's financial assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed annually for appropriateness. The lives are based on management experience with similar assets. The depreciation rates applied are outlined later in these notes. |
Stock |
As a significant element of crop stock has not yet been harvested at the year end, valuation of this non-physical stock relies on the directors applying a suitable methodology, as outlined in the "Stock" policy later in these notes. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable, taking into account the amount of any discounts and rebates allowed by the entity, but excluding value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Sale of Crops |
Revenue is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, recovery of the consideration is probable, the associated costs and possible return of goods can be estimated reliably, there is no continuing management involvement with the goods, and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. |
Services |
Income from contracting services is recognised when performed, such that risks and rewards have been transferred. |

Tangible fixed assets |
Land and buildings | - |
Plant and machinery etc | - |
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed annually for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying values may not be recoverable. |
Stocks |
Stock comprises both physical (harvested) and non-physical (field stock). Physical stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Non-physical stock is valued based on costs incurred in getting crops to the stage of completion at the year end, including cost per acre of sowing land. |
Financial instruments |
The company has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. |
Debtors |
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances. |
Creditors |
Short term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Provisions |
Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as finance cost. |
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 statement of financial position date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
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 profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Short term employee benefits |
Short term employee benefits, including holiday pay, are recognised as an expense in profit and loss in the period in which they are incurred. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably. |
