The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Turnover

Turnover is recognised when the company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer and it is probable that the company will receive the agreed upon payment.

Stocks
Consumables in store and growing crops are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Cost is determined on a first in first out basis using purchase invoice price. Net realisable value is based on the estimated selling price less further costs expected to be incurred to completion and disposal.

Deferred tax

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
