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

| TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS |
| Freehold land | - |
| Short leasehold | - |

| 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. |
| BREEDING ASSETS |
| Breeding assets are dealt with on the herd basis of valuation. Transfers in to the herd are calculated at cost or a percentage of market value (in accordance with stock below) whichever is applicable. Transfers out of herd are dealt with on a first in first out basis. Replacement of temporary reductions in the herd are calculated at the value of original cost replaced. |
