The presentational currency is Sterling and figures are rounded to the nearest £.

Turnover represents invoiced goods and services arising from the farming trade relating to crops and produce sold during the period, the Basic Payment Scheme and other grants, excluding VAT. Income from the sale of crops is recognised upon collection. Income from grants is recognised when conditions for the entitlement are met.

Grants of a revenue nature from the Rural Payments Agency are credited to the profit and loss account in the year to which they relate. According to the performance model, the full amount of grant received is recognised as turnover unless there are any unfilled conditions attaching to the grant, in which case the grant is only recognised on the fulfilment of the conditions. Under the Basic Payment Scheme revenue cannot be recognised as income until the greening provisions are met.

The tax expense for the period comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a charge attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.

The current 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 countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.

Tangible assets are stated at cost.

The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation. Tangible assets include only land, on which no depreciation is provided.

Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Other unlisted investments are stated at fair value, with any unrealised gains or losses being recognised as profit or loss in the current period. Investments are treated as non-current assets on the basis that they are intended to be held for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the debtors.

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 the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Stocks comprise harvested produce and other inventories. These are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell.

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 over the period of the relevant borrowing.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method 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.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
