1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

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 are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention.

Related party exemption

The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. The company is a subsidiary of Nattergal Limited.

Revenue

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received in respect of the Basic Payment scheme. Revenue is recognised in the period to which the income relates.

Revenue for biodiversity net gain (BNG) activities is recognised progressively, aligning with the cost profile of delivering agreed habitat improvements. This means revenue is recorded as costs are incurred, reflecting the completion of performance obligations over time.

Revenue for carbon credits is recognised as credits are verified.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property

-

Nil

Improvements to property

-

Straight line over 20 years

Plant and machinery

-

20% on reducing balance and Straight line over 3 years

Fixtures and fittings

-

20% on reducing balance

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Land furniture is disclosed under property improvements and is depreciated over 20 years. A grant has been received towards this cost and is disclosed in other creditors. The grant is being released in line with the depreciation policy of the land furniture.

Impairments

Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each financial reporting date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset 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.

Government grants

Government grants in relation to tangible fixed assets are credited to the statement of income over the useful life of the related asset. Grants received in relation to expenditure are credited to the statement of income when the expenditure is charged to the profit or loss.

Financial instruments

The company has chosen to adopt FRS102 1A in respect of financial instruments.

Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitute a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.

At the end of each reporting period, financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

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 statement of financial position date.

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.
