Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Going concern |
The Directors have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. The Directors have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the Directors have considered the company’s forecasts and projections and have taken account of pressures on income. After making enquiries the Directors have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. |
As such the company can expect to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due in the period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these accounts. However, there can be no certainty in relation to these matters. |
On this basis the Directors have concluded that the company is a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from the company not being able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. |
Changes in accounting estimate |
During the year, the accounting estimates in relation to depreciation were reviewed. This resulted in the depreciation rate for motor vehicles being changed from 15% reducing balance to 25% reducing balance to reflect the updated economic life of the asset. |
This has resulted in an increase to the loss before tax of £3,671 for the year, and an increase in the net liabilities of £3,671 for the year. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |

3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments. |
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes, in effect, a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. |
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. |
Other financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. |
Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. |
Convertible loans |
On initial recognition, convertible loans are split into two components, one of which is recognised as a financial liability and the other is recognised as equity within other reserves. |
The financial liability component is initially measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar loan that is not convertible. |
The financial liability component is subsequently measured at amortised cost. |
The equity component is initially measured at the difference between the transaction price and the initial value of the liability component. |
The equity component is not subsequently remeasured. |
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. |
Research and development |
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
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. |

9. | CONVERTIBLE LOANS |
During the year, the company issued several convertible loan notes which were accounted for using the policy as shown in note 3 above. |
The liability component has been included within note 8, and the equity component within other reserves. |
Interest on the loan note was payable at a rate of 10% per annum. |
10. | POST BALANCE SHEET EVENT |
The convertible loan notes were converted on 13 February 2025 due to an event on default. The event was that the equity held by the holders of the loan notes were bought by Applied Farming Ltd. After this event, Applied Farming Ltd holds 93% of the share capital of the company. |
At the balance sheet date, there was no event or obligation that would have triggered the conversion of the convertible loans notes, therefore, there has been no adjustment made in these financial statements. |
