Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 March 2026


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Roberts Poultry 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.

The directors have considered the financial requirements of the company and consider that it will be able to operate within its agreed finance facilities for the next 12 months. The directors therefore consider it appropriate to prepare accounts on the going concern basis.

Turnover
Turnover represents broiler sales and renewable energy income 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:
Broiler sales
Broiler sales are recognised when the chickens are collected from the farm.

Renewable energy income
Renewable Heat Incentive income is recognised in the period the heat is generated.

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.
Freehold property - 5% on cost and Straight line over 30 years
Improvements to property - 5% on cost
Plant and machinery - 15% on reducing balance and 5% on cost
Motor vehicles - 20% on reducing balance

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

Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method and includes all purchase, transport, and handling costs in bringing stocks to their present location and condition.

The company has biological assets included within stock. The biological assets of the company are poultry and these are valued at cost. These have not been depreciated as they have a useful life of less than one year.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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.

3. EMPLOYEES

The average number of employees during the year was 6 (2025 - 3 ) .
