Directors' responsibilities:
The financial statements of Thornhill Farming Limited (registered number:
|
R C G MacLeod
Director |
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial year and to the preceding financial year, unless otherwise stated.
Thornhill Farming Limited (the Company) is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the Company's registered office is Thornhill Park, Stalbridge, Sturminster Newton, Dorset, DT10 2SH.
The statutory accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
At the year end, the Company had net liabilities. The company is reliant upon the support of its shareholders to enable it to meet its financial obligations as they arise. As the shareholders will continue to financially support the company for the foreseeable future, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the statutory accounts on the going concern basis.
The tax expense for the year comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of income and retained earnings.
The current tax charge is based on the taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the statement of income and retained earnings 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 balance sheet date.
| Other intangible assets | not amortised |
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
| Land and buildings | not depreciated |
| Plant and machinery etc. |
|
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of income and retained earnings.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Trade and other debtors and creditors are classified as basic financial instruments and measured at transaction price. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the company
will not be able to collect all amounts due.
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and comprise cash in hand and at bank.
