2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Turnover |
The turnover shown in the profit and loss accounts represents the value of milk and livestock sales, and includes grants and subsidies. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Buildings and drainage | - |
Plant and machinery | - |
Motor vehicles and tractors | - |
Stocks |
Dairy cattle are valued on the herd basis. |
Beef cattle are stated at their deemed cost which is calculated at 60% of their open market value. |
Dry stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. |
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 |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
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. |
Deferred government grants |
Deferred government grants in respect of capital expenditure are treated as deferred income and are credited to the profit and loss account over the estimated useful like of the assets to which they relate. |
