2.Accounting policies (continued)
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
Subsidiaries During the year, a corporate restructuring took place whereby the Group incorporated various other entities part of a related corporate structure. This represents a significant change in the corporate structure and ownership alignment. This combination was accounted for as a merger as it fell within the definition of a group reorganisation under Financial Reporting Standard 102: Section 19.27, where the owners of JT Crop Limited are the same as the owners of JT Agro Limited, and their rights, relative to each other, were unchanged, both before and after the acquisition by JT Crop Limited. This meant that the assets and liabilities of the various subsidiaries have been accounted for at the relevant carrying values, applying the basic premise that such group reorganisations should be accounted for as though the group had always existed in this form. Hence the owners had continuing interest in the business, both before and after the aquisition of JT Agro Limited. The assets and liabilities have been brought in at their book values. As the group reorganisation took place partway through the year the consolidated Profit and Loss Account presents pro-forma figures for both the current and comparative results of the above subsidiary, and the consolidated balance sheet presents pro-forma figures as at 31 August 2025. During the period, the Group acquired 100% of the issued share capital of JT Agro Europe Limited Sp.z.o.o..The results of the acquired entity have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control passed to the Group and the acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with FRS 102.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company and Group will continue to trade for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements, and will be able to meet its debts as they fall due.
The directors have a reasonable expectation, based on their assessment of the Company’s financial position and resources that it will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, from the date of approval of these financial statements, and will be able to meet its debts as they fall due. The directors therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The fair value of the award also takes into account non-vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as a target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the Group keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme). Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period. Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, profit or loss is charged with fair value of goods and services received.

Negative Goodwill
The negative goodwill arose in respect of the acquisition of JT Agro Europe Sp.z.o.o.. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over its useful economic life.
Positive Goodwill
Other intangible assets
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
(i) Financial assets Basic financial assets, including fixed asset investment, trade and other debtors, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 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 Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. (ii) Financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors and accruals, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors 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. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. (iii) Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts presented in the financial statements when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Estimates and underlying assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Impairment of subsidiary Determining whether an investment is impaired requires an estimation of its fair value. This is based on the future operating performance of the individual entities. Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values. Inventory valuation Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Management estimates future selling prices, demand and potential obsolescence when assessing recoverability of stock balances. Changes in these assumptions could result in material adjustments to inventory carrying values. Recoverability of debtors The Group assesses the recoverability of trade and other debtors using customer payment history, ageing profiles and expected future collections. Changes in these estimates may affect the level of impairment recognised. Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets The assessment of impairment requires estimates of future profitability and cash flows. Changes in these assumptions could result in impairment charges being recognised in future periods.

3.Judgments in applying accounting policies (continued)
The Group has recognised a share-based payment charge in respect of employee share options. The fair value of the options has been determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model which requires management to make estimates regarding expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, option life and vesting conditions. Changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on the charge recognised in the period.
