NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Agri North Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number is 01214914 and the company's registered office address is North Western Mills, Gresty Road, Crewe, Cheshire, CW2 6HP. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements represent the results of the individual entity. The presentation and functional currency is £ sterling. |
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The financial statements contain information about Agri North Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements. |
Related party exemption |
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows: |
Fixed asset investment impairment is considered on an annual basis by the directors. Where impairment of the investment is identified, the directors account for the estimated impairment loss based on the consideration of discounted cashflows over the estimated life of the investment. The carrying amount of investments is included in note 6. |
From a completeness perspective, the directors are not aware of any other critical judgements within the company that give rise to a significant risk of material adjustment within the next financial year. |
Turnover |
Turnover is the total amount receivable by the company for goods supplied and services provided, excluding VAT and trade discounts. Turnover is recognised when the goods are physically delivered to the customer. |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost less provision for impairment. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. |
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
Basic financial assets, which include trade debtors, other debtors, and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
Basic financial liabilities, including trade creditors, that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. |
Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the company's contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, 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. |
Going concern |
Based on future expectations, the directors are confident the company will continue to trade profitably in future periods and generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations as they fall due for payment. |
3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS |
The average number of employees during the year was NIL (2023 - NIL). |
