Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 30 November 2025

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Esm Equestrian Ltd 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.

The financial statements for the period under review have been prepared on a going concern basis. The director has considered a period of twelve months from the period of approval of these financial statements, whereby funding remains in place to continue to operate the business. On this basis, the director believes that it is prudent to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.

The director has also sought assurances from JLE Group Limited, the company's largest creditor, who have indicated that that entity will not withdraw funding for at least 12 months beyond the balance sheet authorisation date, if it results in the company being able to meet its ongoing financial obligations.

If this assumption proves to be inappropriate, then adjustments may have to be made to adjust the assets to their recoverable amounts and to provide for any further liabilities which may arise.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangibles are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of ten years.

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

Land- Not provided
Freehold buildings- Straight line over 10 years
Plant and machinery- Straight line over 5 years
Show-jumps- Straight line over 5 years
Motor vehicles- Straight line over 5 years
Computer equipment- Straight line over 5 years

Stocks
Stocks of competition horses, broodmares, youngstock and foals are included at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

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.

for the Year Ended 30 November 2025

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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
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.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

The average number of employees during the year was 7 (2024 - 7 ) .
