| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Leasehold property | - |
| Office equipment | - |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents sales of organic fruit and vegetables which are sold through the company's weekly box scheme, proceeds from the running of a farmers market together with grants and donations received. Grants and donations are brought into account on receipt unless their receipt is reasonably certain in which case they are brought into account when notified. Grants received in advance are shown as deferred income (within creditors) and are taken to income when conditions for these are satisfied. |
| In respect of contracts for on-going services, turnover represents the value of work done in the year, including estimates of amounts not invoiced. Turnover in respect of long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the work. |
| Financial instruments |
| To reflect the principles based approach to preparing financial statements it is necessary to define a number of concepts previously known as assets, liabilities and equity. Financial instruments is the collective name for these; financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement under which they arise. They are classified as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. |
| Loan reserve |
| Funds provided to the company for the purpose of making loans to other organisations who undertake similar activities are taken directly to a special reserve which is separated into subfunds for distributed and undistributed funds. Interest arising from such funds will be taken to the profit and loss account. Bad debts arising from loans made are written off to the reserve. |
