Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
R.P. Collier Farms Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England & Wales.  The company's registered number is 3232598 and registered office address is Tixall Heath Farm, Tixall, Stafford ST18 0XX.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of 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 financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.
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.
2.2. Turnover
Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT and trade discounts. The policies adopted for the recognition if turnover are as follows:
Sale of goods
Turnover from the sale of crops and livestock is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably , it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. This is usually on despatch of the goods.
Contract income
Turnover from contracting is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.
Rent
Rental income is recognised using the accrual model.
2.3. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Other Intangible
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are capitalised at cost. Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are capitalised separately from goodwill if the fair value can be measured reliably on initial recognition.
Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over their useful lives. The useful lives of intangible assets are as follows:
Basic Payment Scheme Entitlement - 5 years
Provision is made for any impairment.
2.4. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Depreciation is provided at the following rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold - N/A
Plant & Machinery - 15% on reducing balance
Motor Vehicles - 25% on reducing balance
Tractors - 25% on reducing balance
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
Initial recognition of the property is at cost of £535,000. No depreciation has been applied during the year as the revaluation model will be applied going forward. At the balance sheet date the cost equates to the fair value of the property.

Page 4
2.5. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Assets acquired under hire purchase contracts are capitalised and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the expected useful life of the asset.  The related obligations, net of future finance charges, are included in creditors.
Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
2.6. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks and work in progress are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell.  Cost includes all cost of purchase, cost of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula.  Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate.
2.7. 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.
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 assesments in periods different from those in which they aare 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.
2.8. Government Grant
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received using the accrual model.
2.9. 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.
