2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards including Section 1A "Small Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. |
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. |
Turnover |
Turnover arises completely in the United Kingdom and represents the total amount charged to customers for farm products and services exclusive of VAT where applicable. Turnover is recognised when the farm products and services have been delivered. |
Intangible fixed assets |
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
Basic Payment Scheme entitlements are initially recognised at cost and are amortised on a straight line basis over their expected useful life. At the reporting date, the entitlement had been fully amortised. The original Basic Payment Scheme commenced in 2015 and the ceased during the 2021 accounting year. |
Entitlements acquired via the ownership of existing land, and therefore have no cost, have been revalued to fair value on transition to FRS102, which has subsequently been treated as their deemed cost, and are being amortised over their expected useful life in accordance with the above period of benefit expected from the basic payment scheme. |
Provision is made for any impairment. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis: |
Freehold buildings | - 10% straight line |
Plant & machinery | - 12.5% - 20% straight line |
Motor Vehicles | - 20% straight line |
Land is not depreciated. |
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. |
Stocks |
Stocks are valued under the cost model in accordance with Section 34 of FRS102 using the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell method. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and represents costs incurred to date to bring growing crops and finished produce to its current state. |

Tax |
Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit (or loss) for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax represents the future tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the financial statements of current and previous periods. It is recognised in respect of all timing differences, with certain exceptions. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of income and expense in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. 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. |
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing differences. Deferred tax on revalued non-depreciable tangible fixed assets and investment properties is measured using the rates and allowances that apply to the sale of the asset. |
Government grants |
Amounts receivable under the Common Agriculture Policy subsidy schemes are recognised as income in the profit and loss account when the eligibility criteria have been satisfied at the end of the scheme year. |
Hire purchase |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contract are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their useful lives. |
The interest element of these obligations is charged to the profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
Investments |
Investments in shares are initially recognised at fair value, which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value through profit and loss if their fair value can be measured reliably. |
Current asset investments include cash equivalents which have a maturity of less than one year. They are initially measured at cost and subsequently re-measured at their fair value with the gain or loss being recognised in the profit and loss account. |
Other investments are measured at cost less impairment. |
