Accounting policies
Company information

E.D. Estates Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Great Addington Lodge, Thrapston Road, Finedon, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, United Kingdom, NN9 5HN.

1.1
Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2
Turnover

Turnover is measured at fair value of consideration received or receivable net of VAT. Turnover represents farming income from sales of crops at invoiced value excluding VAT, together with associated grants and subsidies.

 

Turnover from crop sales is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, normally on delivery.

1.3
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill

Basic Payment Entitlement is a grant which is initially measured at fair value and is being amortised over its estimated useful life of 5 years.

1.4
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or deemed cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life. However freehold and leasehold properties with the exception of the property below have no depreciation provision due to each having long estimated residual life and a residual value that would not be less than carrying value.

Freehold land and buildings
1/40 cost
Plant and equipment
15% to 25% reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

1.5
Investment properties

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

1.6
Stocks

Stocks valuations have been prepared by the directors in accordance with the principles laid down by HM Revenue & Customs.

 

Cultivations are biological assets and are included at cost calculated by reference to the seeds, machinery and labour attributable to the stage of production reached.

 

The stock of fertilisers and sprays includes quantities held at the year end (and amounts applied to the cultivations to the stage of production reached) valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

1.7
Financial instruments

Loans from directors and other connected parties are measured at transaction price.

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges are recognised in profit or loss immediately, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk.

1.8
Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

1.9
Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Financial commitments, guarantees and contingent liabilities

Under the agreements the company has with two contract farmers, a bonus is payable for the profit achieved from the sales of the 2024 harvest crops. Whilst there was a liability at the balance sheet date, this has not been recognised in the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 as the settlement amount cannot be measured reliably.
