| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Growing Estates Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| At the reporting date the Company had net liabilities of £306,990 (2024 - net liabilities £34,621). The Company is dependent on the continuing financial support of other group companies in order to continue trading and meet its obligations as they fall due. The Directors have confirmed the ongoing financial support of the parent company and, accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis and do not include any adjustments that would arise from the withdrawal of this support. |
| TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS |
| Tangible fixed assets comprises land which is stated at valuation. Revaluation gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. |
| The Directors consider the need for impairment of tangible fixed assets as part of the revaluation process which is performed annually. |
| Land is not depreciated. |
| 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. |
| PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES |
| Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Company a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. |
| Provisions are charged as an expense to the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year that the Company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the reporting date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. |
| When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the reporting. |
