Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2019

1	General information

The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England and Wales.

The address of its registered office is:
77a Cheap Street
Sherborne
Dorset
DT9 3BA

The principal place of business is:
Higher Waterston Farm
High Waterston
DORCHESTER
Dorset
DT2 7SW

2	Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention.

These financial statements are prepared in Sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.

Going concern

At 31 March 2019 the company is insolvent and entirely reliant on the support of its directors. The directors will not withdraw this from the company and will provide finance to the company from personal resources to avoid any cashflow difficulties. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis. However the company has no stock insurance as the directors do not believe that this is economically viable. There is one particularly valuable item of stock. If this were to be stolen or in some way damaged, it is uncertain whether the company could continue trading.

Revenue recognition

Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of equine stock and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Turnover is shown net of value added tax and rebates.

The company recognises revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.

2	Accounting policies (continued)

Tax

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the United Kingdom.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class	Depreciation method and rate
Furniture, fittings and equipment	20% on reducing balance
Other property, plant and equipment	3 years on cost

Stocks

Equine stock is valued on a fair value basis less costs to sell. Brood mares and other purchased stock are initially valued at original cost to the company whilst a cost of rearing is applied to homebred stock from birth to the age of three years. Net realisable value is used for any equine stock with health issues which reduce the value of individual animals to below cost price.

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Profit and Loss Account over the period of the relevant borrowing.

The interest expense is recognised as charged and is included in interest payable and similar charges.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Financial instruments

Classification
FRS 102 classifies financial instruments as either basic financial instruments or other financial instruments. The accounting treatment varies according to the classification.
Basic financial instruments are defined as one of the following:
- cash
- a debt instrument (such as accounts receivable and payable)
- commitment to receive a loan that satisfy certain criteria
- investments in non-convertible preference shares, and non puttable ordinary shares.

All other financial instruments are classed as other financial instruments and treated accordingly.

 Recognition and measurement
The company only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

3	Staff numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company (including directors) during the year, was 2 (2018 - 2).
