NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Nene Potatoes Limited is a |
The company's place of business is Winters Lane, Sutton Crosses, Long Sutton, Spalding, Lincolnshire, PE12 9BE. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
Turnover represents the charges levied upon members and the net invoiced sales of produce on behalf of non-members, excluding value added tax. Charges are recognised for the period to which they relate and sales of produce are recognised upon despatch from the supplier. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. |
Depreciation is provided on all tangible assets at rates calculated to write each asset down to its estimated residual value evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:- |
Tenancy improvements | 10%, 20% and 50% straight-line |
Plant and machinery | 10%, 20%, 25% and 33% straight-line |
Financial instruments |
The company has chosen to adopt the FRS 102A in respect of financial instruments. |
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitute a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
At the end of each reporting period, financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. |
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
Operating lease agreements |
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. |
Throughput |
Throughput represents amounts received and receivable for produce supplied to customers during the year on behalf of members and non-members. |
The throughput of the company during the year was 71,236 (2023: 91,178) tonnes valued at £29,140,726 (2022: £20,929,183). |
