The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for:

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

C.E.Rudge and Sons 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.

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.

Going concern

The balance sheet of the company shows net current liabilities of £57,542. Included within other creditors are £177,753 of funds owed to the current directors which are repayable on demand, but only if cash flows allow. The directors are confident that the company will operate profitably in future periods.

On this basis the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Turnover

Turnover represents milk sales and livestock sales and stated net of discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

The company recognises revenue when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer, when the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and when the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Revenue from services is recognised in the accounting periods in which the services are rendered.

The following criteria must be met before revenue is recognised:

Milk sales are recognised when the milk is collected from the farm.

Livestock sales are recognised when the animals are sold at market or delivered to the abattoir.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided 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, whichever is the shorter.

Land and buildings

-

10% on reducing balance, 5% on cost and not provided

Plant and machinery etc

-

25% on reducing balance

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

The company has the following biological assets within stock which are valued as follows:

Livestock - valued at their estimated cost with reference to current market values

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

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.
