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 as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

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
Goodwill, being the amount paid in connection with the incorporation of the business in the year of incorporation, has been amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of 10 years.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at fair value at transaction date. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at fair value less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

As at 29 February 2024, the Company held Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) entitlements which were recognised as an intangible asset on the balance sheet.

During the financial year ended 28 February 2025, it was determined that the BPS entitlements no longer held any economic value due to the cessation of the Basic Payment Scheme. As a result, the entitlements were assessed to have a fair value of zero.

In accordance with FRS 102, the Company has derecognised the BPS entitlements from its balance sheet. The carrying amount of the entitlements as at 01 March 2024 was £Nil. Therefore, there is no loss to be recognised in the profit and loss account for the year ended 28 February 2025.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Tenants improvements - 2% on cost
Plant and machinery - 25% on reducing balance, 10% on cost and 7% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on reducing balance
Tractors - 25% on reducing balance

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Investment property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss.

Investment property is carried at fair value, derived from the current market prices for comparable real estate, determined annually by the directors. Changes in fair value are recognised in the profit and loss account.

Stocks
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Home grown produce has been valued in accordance with H M Revenue & Customs guidance HS232.

Financial instruments
Classification
The company holds the following financial instruments:

Short term debtors and creditors;
Cash and bank balances; and
Unlisted investments.

All financial instruments are classified as basic.

Recognition and measurement
The company has elected to apply the provisions FRS102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company's obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.

Such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transition costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, 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.

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.

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.

Biological non current assets
Biological non current assets are valued at cost less accumulated depreciation and an accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Bulls - 20% straight line
