NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MAY 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

W D Simpson & Sons (Highfield) Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in Scotland. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
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. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going concern
The directors have considered the potential impact of ongoing worldwide events on the business and are satisfied that the Company has sufficient cash reserves to meet all financial obligations for the foreseeable future. The Accounts have therefore been prepared on the going concern basis.

Turnover
The company trades in arable farming. Turnover represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of work carried out in respect of services and goods provided to customers. Revenue is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered when the outcome of the contract can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - not provided
Tenants improvements - 10% on cost
Implements, motor vehicles, tractors &
equipment

-

25% on reducing balance
Other assets - not provided

Depreciation is not provided on buildings as it is considered immaterial. The value of the property is considered by the directors to be maintained by repairs charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.

Stocks
Stock is valued at the estimated cost of production, cost or market value, whichever is the lower.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial assets
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and bank balances, are initially recognised at transaction price.
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at cost are assessed for evidence of impairment. Any impairment loss is recognised in the Income Statement.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled.

Financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. These are classed as current liabilities as payment is due within one year or less. If not they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.

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 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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
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.

Agricultural subsidies
Agricultural subsidies are accounted for in the period in which they are receivable.
