2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | ||||||||||
Basis of preparation of financial statements | |||||||||||
Revenue recognition | |||||||||||
Turnover is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable and represents the sale of agricultural produce, stated net of trade discounts and value added tax. | |||||||||||
The company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably and when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity. |
Tangible fixed assets | |||||||||||
Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. | |||||||||||
Depreciation has been provided at the following rate so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less residual value of the assets over their estimated useful lives. | |||||||||||
Farm improvements | |||||||||||
Plant, machinery and equipment | |||||||||||
Motor vehicles | |||||||||||
On disposal, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the item sold is recognised in the profit and loss account, and included within administrative expenses. | |||||||||||

2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued…) | ||||||||||
Investment properties | |||||||||||
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. | |||||||||||
Subsequently, investment properties are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment properties are included in the profit and loss account in the period in which they arise. | |||||||||||
Investments | |||||||||||
Current asset investments are shown at fair value and revalued annually with any surplus or deficit dealt with through the profit and loss account. | |||||||||||
Listed investments are shown at fair value and revalued annually with any surplus or deficit dealt with through the profit and loss account. | |||||||||||
Investments in subsidiaries are shown at cost less accumulated impairment losses. |
Financial Instruments | |||||||||||
The impairment loss for financial assets measured at cost is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the best estimate, which is an approximation, of the amount that the company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. |
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amount and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. | |||||||||||

2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued…) | ||||||||||
Impairment of non-financial assets | |||||||||||
At each reporting date non-financial assets not carried at fair value, like goodwill and plant, property and equipment, are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If there is an indication of possible impairment, the recoverable amount of any asset or group of related assets (which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less cost to sell) is estimated and compared with its carrying amount. If the recoverable amount is lower, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account. | |||||||||||
Stocks are assessed for impairment at each reporting date. The carrying amount of each item of stock, or group of similar items, is compared with its selling price less cost to complete and sell. If an item of stock, or group of similar items, is impaired its carrying amount is reduced to selling price less costs to complete and sell, and an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account. | |||||||||||
If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset, or group of related assets, is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not to exceed the amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset, or group of related assets, in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in the profit and loss account. |
Stock | |||||||||||
Stock has been valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less cost to complete and sell, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving items. Cost comprises the cost of goods purchased valued on a first in first out basis. | |||||||||||
The carrying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. |
Debtors | |
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. | |||||||||||
Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and subsequently at amortised cost, less any impairment. |

2 | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued…) | ||||||||||
Taxation | |||||||||||
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. 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 taxable profits. | |||||||||||
Deferred tax is measured using 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. | |||||||||||
Deferred tax relating to land and investment properties that is measured at fair value is measured using the tax rates and allowances that apply to the sale of the asset. |
