Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Principal activity
The company is a holding company providing management services and rental property management. The principle activities of it's subsidiary undertakings are the growing, importing and packaging of fruit and vegetables; green energy production; a golf course operation and property rental.
Fair review of the business
In 2024 the Group saw a continued increase in overall turnover, predominantly driven by an increase in turnover from its fresh produce business from further increasing demand for fresh produce and inflationary pressures on produce prices. This has offset a reduction in turnover from the green energy business unit. Whilst cost has moved in line with turnover for fresh produce, the reduction in turnover in green energy is unit price driven, though costs have been comparable year on year. As such there has been a fall in gross profit to 12.6% compared to 17.2% in 2023. 2023 gross profit was considered extraordinary with record high gas and electricity unit prices following events in Ukraine.
The increase in Turnover is a result of sales growth in the Groups’ entity Springhill Farms (Pershore) Ltd, offset by a decrease in Vale Green Energy Ltd turnover. Vale Green Energy benefited in the prior year from record increases in the wholesale gas price with its exports to grid, as well as inflation to associated Revenues such as green gas certificates and renewable heat incentives. These unit prices have returned to a degree of normality through 2024. Meanwhile Springhill Farms has continued to expand the breadth of its Tomato offering to supermarket customers, resulting in £19m additional sales external to the Group. Profitability has fallen in 2024 compared to 2023, the fall of 5% is largely attributable to the reduction in wholesale energy prices. Farming input cost challenges have eased slightly, however inflation in labour rates has impacted across the group, as well as impacting tomato sourcing cost. These challenges were in line with the directors’ expectations in the current economic climate.
At the end of the year the directors believe the Group's and Company's financial position is strong and they are confident that they can continue to invest in activities and see further growth in the coming year.
The directors are continually looking at ways to increase the efficiency of its investments in plant, equipment, and property to meet the overall goals of the Group, which they see as an effective mitigation to recent cost inflation. All plans for future development are based in the context of a greener outcome and a drive towards Net Zero across the Group.
The group's key financial and other performance indicators during the year were as follows:

Mapp Holdings Limited
Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
The Group demonstrates through it’s KPI’s it’s commitment to growth and efficiency. Output across the Groups entities has increased, and operating efficiency improved.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The management of the business and the execution of the Company's strategy are subject to a number of risks.
The key business risks and uncertainties affecting the group are considered to relate to obtaining a sufficient supply of raw material, climate conditions, employee retention and any potential changes to income tariffs going forward.
The business demonstrated resilience in difficult market conditions through the Covid-19 pandemic and was able to balance the challenges to supply chain disruption and availability of personnel. The produce sector in-fact saw growth through the period, with continued demand for fresh produce and changing consumer habits in pursuit of healthy living. Whilst energy sectors were less adversely affected than other industries.
Whilst the Company has adjusted to the impact of Brexit on customs, trade, and tariffs, events in the international landscape continue to impact the business with the issues in Ukraine. Whilst the full effect lies beyond 31st March 2024, the business has seen increase in input costs with increased cost within the fresh produce, farming and energy sectors, as well as the macroeconomic consequences of disruption within the economy.
The business is directly impacted by inflationary pressures to its cost base. As well as impacts to demand as a result of the ‘cost of living crisis’. The Company is however well placed to mitigate such risks with its product offering and variation of supply, and with diversified businesses within the group.

Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Section 172(1) statement
The directors are committed to complying with their obligations under section 172 of the UK Companies Act 2006 as detailed below:
“A director of a company must act in the way he considers, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole, and in doing so have regard (amongst other matters) to—

The company’s key business relationships are with its supplier base and fellow group companies and it is committed to dealing with these in a fair manner.
The company also considers its local community, environmental obligations and need to avoid reputational risk when making key decisions.
Non-financial and sustainability information
Energy and carbon report
This report meets the climate-related financial disclosure requirements per the Companies (Strategic Report) (Climate-related Financial Disclosure) Regulations 2022 and is in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), which was established by the Financial Stability Board with the aim of improving the reporting of climate-related risks and opportunities.
Governance
Mapp Holdings Limited
Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
The Group's activities cover a variety of sectors with the primary activities undertaken in the agricultural and green energy production areas.
There are four individual trading companies operating over thirteen sites.
Energy Efficiency
MAPP Holdings is a net energy consumer that is reduced in part by using key renewables technologies such as Solar PV and Anaerobic Digestion.
MAPP Holdings also operates an Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plant in which agricultural waste products are converted into biogas, which is cleaned and blended with propane before injection into the national grid. Some of the biogas is used onsite.
MAPP Holdings have several assets that generate and export significant amounts of renewable electricity, backed by Renewable Electricity Guarantees of Origin (REGOs).
Methodology
The GHG Protocol has been used.
Primary Evidence, Estimations and Assumptions
Conversion factors from volume or mass of bulk fuels into kWh, and from kWh into tCO2e, were taken from Greenhouse Gas Reporting: Conversion Factors 2023, published by BEIS. The 2023 data is most relevant as the majority of the financial year is within the 2023 calendar year.
Wherever possible, energy consumption is recorded for the reporting Financial Year with no overspill. Since the last reporting year, the following methodology adjustments have been made:
La Serra electricity submeter has been removed from the reporting boundary, preventing further double counting.
New Electricity Smart Meters have been installed, reducing the amount of estimated readings.
All gas supplies had accurate meter reads provided, requiring no pro-rating.
Bulk fuel deliveries to site do not equate to consumption, as stock levels at financial year start and end may vary. This effect is difficult to eliminate but will only cause minor inaccuracy given the scale of consumption of the relevant fuels.
In all the above cases, there is room for improvement to collect data. Automatic Meter Readings (AMR) would further improve electricity data collection and maintain accurate natural gas import reads.
Biogas input to the business is not metered. Instead it has been calculated from the metered output of the CHP engine in which it is burnt, using the published figure of 36.5% for engine electrical efficiency. If actual efficiency is lower than this, biogas usage will be higher.
Vehicle fuel data has been provided in the form of deliveries by month. MAPP Holdings have also provided this in litres, however we continue to request that flow metering and opening and closing stock recordings to be implemented to make the transport data even more accurate.

In absolute terms, the group has seen a slight increase in CO¬2e emissions this reporting year, compared to the previous reporting year; both being La Serra inclusive periods. The increase has mostly been in natural gas import at La Serra (13% increase) and slightly higher gas oil consumption (16% increase). La Serra did not have to contend with diseased crops in their glasshouses this year, which was a challenge for them last reporting year, hence the uplift in natural gas consumption.
The biogas produced in the company’s AD has increased due to the expansion of their AD activities which is also responsible for the uplift in gas oil consumption. Biogas represented here is only what is burnt by the CHPs on site to generate renewable heat and electricity and does not represent biomethane that is exported to the grid. Whilst biogas and biomass are considered renewable fuels, they still have a small carbon factor which accounts for the CO2e emissions of releasing some N2O and CH4 into the atmosphere due to incomplete combustion of the fuel.
MAPP Holdings have several assets that generate and export significant amounts of renewable electricity, backed by Renewable Electricity Guarantees of Origin (REGOs). This financial year, the company generated 16,401 MWh of green electricity, of which some was consumed but most exported. Due to MAPP Holdings having a non-green electric tariff with their energy supplier and they are selling all REGOs generated by Solar PV and the biogas CHP engines, there are no applicable carbon emission reductions associated with any exports of unused energy. Therefore, the gross emissions in table above are also the net total emission figures.

MAPP Holdings take their energy performance seriously, shown by their investment into renewable energy technologies. However, the acquisition of La Serra in the previous financial year continues to provide challenges that must be addressed to bring the company closer to net zero.
With La Serra included within the company boundary, natural gas consumption accounts for 83% of the business’s total energy consumption. As this is a non-renewable energy source it has significantly added to the company’s GHG emissions. The business may wish to explore alternative fuels and/or technologies at La Serra to help mitigate this increase.
The following actions have started to take place during FY 2023-2024 to improve energy efficiency on MAPP Holdings sites:
1. Springhill Farms have increased the amount of rooftop solar PV across packhouse roofs, which allows them to reduce the volume of grid import at these sites and increase the amount exported when unused.
2. Vale Green Energy have expanded their AD capabilities, increasing the volume of biomethane they inject into the national gas grid. This will reduce energy wastage from bio-available material being fed into the digesters, though this does not affect VGE’s carbon position at this time. Further guidance is still yet to be released from the EA on this but will likely be picked up in the ESOS report and its recommendations.

Directors' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
The directors present their report and the for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Directors of the group
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:
The following directors were appointed after the year end:
Information included in the Strategic Report
The directors do not recommend the payment of a final dividend in respect of the financial year ended 31 March 2024.
Financial instruments
Objectives and policies
The group’s activities expose it to a number of financial risks including price risk, credit risk,cash flow risk and liquidity risk. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the company’s policies approved by the board of directors. The group does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk
Price risk
The group is exposed to commodity price risk. The group does not manage its exposure to commodity price risk due to cost benefit considerations.
Credit risk
The group’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other debtors, and investments.
The group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade debtors. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful debts. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows.
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies.
The group has no significant concentration of credit risk with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.
Liquidity risk
In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the company uses a mixture of long-term and short-term debt finance.
Cash flow risk
Interest bearing assets and liabilities are held at fixed rate to ensure certainty of cash flows.
Mapp Holdings Limited
Directors' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Going concern
The directors have assessed the appropriateness of the going concern concept in relation to the above matters and in general to the Company's financial statements and as the Group as a whole and consider that the accounts should be prepared on a going concern basis. This conclusion has been reached based upon the Company and the Group having access to sufficient funds to be able to meet liabilities and obligations as they fall due for at least twelve months from approving these financial statements.
Disclosure of information to the auditor
Each director has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information. The directors confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and of which they know the auditor is unaware.
Employee involvement
Information on matters of concern to employees are dealt with via arranged meetings with supervisory staff who then pass on the relevant information or details to employees within their work team considered to be relevant.
Employment of disabled persons
The company is an equal opportunity employer and maintains a culture of equality and diversity where employees are treated equally, whether or not they have a disability.
The Company takes all reasonable steps to employ, train and promote employees on the basis of ability, qualification and experience irrespective of any disability. The Company follows its duty to make reasonable adjustments to premises and working practices, wherever possible, to accommodate employees who become disabled during their employment, and so to enable them to perform work to their full potential ability.
Future developments
The Group continues to invest in the various sites to ensure these operate as efficiently as is possible and provide a solid platform for the overall Group performance. The Directors expect to make further progress in future periods.
Reappointment of auditors
In accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution for the re-appointment of EKWilliams Accountants Limited as auditors of the company is to be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Mapp Holdings Limited
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the group and the company and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
• |
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; |
• |
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
• |
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and |
• |
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the group's and the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the group and the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Mapp Holdings Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Mapp Holdings Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Mapp Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2024, which comprise the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, Statement of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
• | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and the parent company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of the group's profit for the year then ended; |
• | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
• | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Mapp Holdings Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Mapp Holdings Limited
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
• |
the information given in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
• |
the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
• | adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
• | the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
• | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
• | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities [set out on page 10], the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Mapp Holdings Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Mapp Holdings Limited
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following: |
|

Enquiring of management whether they are aware of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. |
• |
Enquiring of management whether they had internal controls established to mitigate risk related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
• |
Discussions amongst the engagement team on how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. As part of this discussion, we identified potential for fraud in the following areas: posting of unusual journals and fraudulent revenue recognition. |
• |
Obtaining an understanding of the regulatory framework the company operates in focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations. The key laws and regulations that we considered in this context included the financial framework the company operates under (FRS102), the UK Companies Act, tax legislation and health and safety legislation. |
Audit response to risk identified. |
|
• |
Fraud due to management override
|
• |
Fraudulent revenue recognition

Mapp Holdings Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
General information |
The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England and Wales, UK.
The address of its registered office is:
United Kingdom
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the
Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006'.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.
The group financial statements are presented in pound sterling (£) and rounded to the nearest pound.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 March 2024.
No Profit and Loss Account is presented for the company as permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The company made a profit after tax for the financial year of £2,678,277 (2023 - profit of £2,332,788).
Mapp Holdings Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is achieved where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Profit and Loss Account from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the group.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for business combinations that result in the acquisition of subsidiaries by the group. The cost of a business combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised is recorded as goodwill.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between the company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, are eliminated in full.
Intra-group losses are also eliminated but may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the group’s equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling shareholder’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Mapp Holdings Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Judgements
Preparation of the financial statements do not require management to make significant judgements and estimates. |
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
There are no estimates that will affect carrying values of assets over the next 12 months.
Revenue recognition
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods, provision of services, rental income and management recharges.
The sale of fruit and vegetables in the period together with the growing and harvesting of cereal crops.
The supply of gas and electricity as well as Renewable Obligation Certificates generated from renewable resources in the ordinary course of the group’s activities.
Turnover is shown net of sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the company.
The group recognises revenue when:
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
and specific criteria have been met for each of the group's activities.
Government grants
Grants which relate to revenue shall be recognised in income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the company recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate.
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the group operates and generates taxable income.
Mapp Holdings Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between taxable profits and profits reported in the consolidated financial statements.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised when 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 reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
Freehold buildings |
5% straight line |
Freehold land |
Nil |
Plant and machinery |
12.5% straight line |
Motor vehicles |
20% and 25% straight line |
Office equipment and glasshouses |
33.33% straight line |
Glasshouses |
5% and 12.5% straight line |
Anaerobic digester |
8.33% straight line |
Solar farms |
8.33% straight line |
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values at acquisition date of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the group in exchange for control of the acquired, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. When a business combination agreement provides for an adjustment to the cost of the combination contingent on future events, the group includes the estimated amount of that adjustment in the cost of the combination at the acquisition date if the adjustment is probable and can be measured reliably.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is held in the currency of the acquired entity and revalued to the closing rate at each reporting period date. Goodwill is amortised over its useful life, which shall not exceed ten years if a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made.
Mapp Holdings Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Intangible assets
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is held in the currency of the acquired entity and revalued to the closing rate at each reporting period date.
Negative goodwill arising on an acquisition is recognised on the face of the balance sheet on the acquisition date and subsequently the excess up to the fair value of non-monetary assets acquired is recognised in profit or loss in the periods in which the non-monetary assets are recovered.
Amortisation
Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:
Asset class |
Amortisation method and rate |
Brand names |
20% straight line |
Goodwill |
20% straight line |
Investments
Investments in equity shares which are publicly traded or where the fair value can be measured reliably are initially measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Interest income on debt securities, where applicable, is recognised in income using the effective interest method. Dividends on equity securities are recognised in income when receivable.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Mapp Holdings Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.
Growing crops are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. If crops are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete or sell.
At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stocks are impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell.
Impairment losses are shown in note 17 to the financial statements.
Trade creditors
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 the group does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the profit and loss account over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Leases
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised at the lower of their fair value at inception of the lease and the present value of the minimum lease payments. These assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance costs in the profit and loss account and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Mapp Holdings Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
Dividends
Dividend distribution to the group’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.
Defined contribution pension obligation
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
Financial instruments
Classification
Financial assets and liabilities are only set off in the statement of financial position where there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or the asset and liability will be settled simultaneously.
Recognition and measurement
Debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.
Cash
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice if not more than 24 hours.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at 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.
