NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
for the year ended 31 March 2024 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Merris Bros (Farmers) Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number is 00531079 and its registered office is Magma House, 16 Davy Court, Castle Mound Way, Rugby, Warwickshire, CV23 0UZ. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The presentational currency of the financial statements is Sterling(£) and figures are rounded to the nearest £1. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. Sale of crops and livestock are recognised when the crops and livestock have been sold to the customer, the revenue can be measured reliably and collection is probable. |
Farm subsidies and other income is recognised in the period they fall due. |
Fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. |
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives as indicated below. |
Plant and Machinery | - 25% on reducing balance |
Fixtures and Fittings | - 15% on reducing balance |
Freehold property held at cost and not depreciated. |
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. |
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss. |
Fixed asset investments |
Other investments are held at cost and reviewed annually for impairment. |
Stocks |
Stocks have been stated at a professional valuation, carried out in accordance with BEN 19. |

Taxation |
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. |
Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity respectively. |
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the Balance Sheet date, except that: |
- The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered |
against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and |
- Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met. |
Both current and deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Financial instruments |
(i) Financial assets |
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. |
(ii) Financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. |
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
