| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Huggate Church Farm Properties Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. |
| The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. |
| Going concern |
| The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis to reflect the continuing ability of the directors to support the company and the substantial value of security available to the company which is not reflected in the balance sheet due to the farm having been acquired several decades ago at a low historical cost. |
| The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Depreciation is provided on all assets, (except Freehold land ), at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, which ever is shorter. |
| Freehold land | -0% on cost |
| Freehold property | - 5% on cost |
| Plant and machinery | -10% on cost |
| Motor vehicles | -20% on cost |
| Tractors and trailers | -20% on cost |
| Investment property |
| Investment properties are measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks on hand of farm livestock, produce and tenantright are included at the valuation of professional valuers. |
| The valuation has been prepared in accordance with the Inland Revenue's Business Economic Notes BEN19. Stocks have been valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value using accepted conventions to arrive at deemed cost where actual costs are not accurately ascertainable. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Tax |
| Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit (or loss) for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| Deferred tax represents the future tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the financial statements of current and previous periods. It is recognised in respect of all timing differences, with certain exceptions. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of income and expense in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. 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. |
| Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing differences. Deferred tax on revalued non-depreciable tangible fixed assets and investment properties is measured using the rates and allowances that apply to the sale of the asset. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates non-contributory pension schemes for certain employees and premiums due under the schemes are charged to the profit and loss account when paid. |
| Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year |
| Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses. |
| Loans and borrowings |
| Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. |
| Impairment |
| Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. |
