ROOTRIDGE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 01984215)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Rootridge Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. 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.

Turnover and basic payment
Turnover represents the fair value of consideration received for net invoiced sales of produce and contract work, excluding value added tax, as well as the company's share of the results of a farming partnership in which the company is a partner. Sales of produce are recognised on despatch and revenue from contracting is recognised on the day the work is undertaken.

The Basic Payment is recognised in the financial statements in accordance with H.M. Revenue and Customs guidance.

Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are held at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold land and buildings - Nil
Plant & machinery - 20% Reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 20% Reducing balance

It is the company's policy to maintain its properties in a continual state of sound repair. In the case of the freehold properties, the directors consider that the lives of these properties and their residual values are such that their depreciation is not significant.

Stocks
Stocks represent the farm valuation which has been prepared by independent valuers at the lower of cost and fair value less costs to complete and sell.

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 statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the relevant period. The capital element of the future repayments is treated as a liability.

Fixed asset investment
The company's interest in the capital of associated undertakings is recognised at cost less impairment, plus the accumulated amount of any undrawn profits resulting from the company's share of the results of the undertakings.
