NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Petra Bloodstock Agency Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The directors believe that the company is a going concern on the basis that the controlling party, P J Goulandris, is prepared to continue to support the company and has the means to do so.

Significant judgements and estimates
In computing the individual costs of the livestock the directors use a cost figure prepared by an independent valuer of the animal when it was a foal. This cost is compared to the valuer's market valuation of the animal at the balance sheet date to confirm that there has been no impairment to the value of the animal.

Turnover
Turnover represents sales of bloodstock, insurance claims received and breeders premiums and race earnings and is stated net of value added tax.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery etc - 25% on cost

Biological assets
Bloodstock consists of mares, foals, stallion shares and horses in training. Stallion shares, horses in training and foals are valued individually at the lower of cost and market value.

Mares are valued at the lower of cost less depreciation and market value. The cost of mares is depreciated on a straight line basis over ten years. Costs does not include the ongoing costs of keeping the animal and, as noted above, is based on an independent valuer's assessment of the cost of the foal where the animal is home bred. The cost of broodmares includes the nomination fee paid if the mare is in foal at the year end and she gave birth to a live foal.

Livestock is included at cost rather than fair value because the market in an individual animal is volatile and the use of cost maintains consistency year on year.

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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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.

Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

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.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 1 (2023 - 1 ) .
