Strategic Report |
for the year ended 31st March 2023 |
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31st March 2023. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
During the year the company has returned to profit after making a loss in the prior year. The directors consider the results for the period to be as expected, reflecting significantly higher pig prices in light of a large reduction in the supply of pigs across the UK and the EU. |
The level of profitability in the future will depend to a large extent on the fluctuation of pig prices, however the directors expect to remain profitable into the coming year with feed costs falling and pig prices remaining historically high. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The principle risks and uncertainties facing the company are the market price for pig meat, disease and the level of feed costs. |
Financial risk management |
The company's operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The company has in place a risk management programme which seeks to limit adverse effects on the financial performance of the company. |
Price risk |
The company is exposed to commodity price risk as a result of its operations. This risk is managed through analysis of markets and consultation with reputable agents, suppliers and customers. |
Credit risk |
The company has implemented policies whereby it constantly monitors the credit worthiness of its major customers. |
Interest rate risk |
At times in the production cycle the company has interest bearing liabilities. The company does not use derivative financial instruments to manage interest rate cost and as such, no hedge accounting is applied. The directors will revisit the appropriateness of this policy should the operations change in size or nature. |
Key performance indicators |
One of the main financial Key Performance Indicators used by the company is the monitoring of sales prices per pig against the cost of production per pig, which then feeds into gross margin reviews carried out. |
Liquidity risk |
The company operates within its current bank facilities together with funds provided by its directors. |
GOING CONCERN |
The directors have carefully considered the activities of the company for a period of 12 months of the date of approval of these financial statements and the liquid resources available. The directors' are of the opinion that there are no material uncertainties regarding the ability of the company to continue to trade as a going concern during this period and accordingly these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. |
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD: |
G.W. Woolhouse & Sons Limited (Registered number: 02121613) |
Report of the Directors |
for the year ended 31st March 2023 |
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31st March 2023. |
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of the raising of pigs, cattle and growing of cereals, leguminous crops and oil seeds. |
DIVIDENDS |
The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 31 March 2023 was £2,000 (2022 £2,000). |
DIRECTORS |
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1st April 2022 to the date of this report. |
GOING CONCERN |
The pig industry was and still is facing some difficult challenges as a result of continued high feed costs and staff shortages further down the supply chain, however the company is well placed to mitigate some of the main challenges as a result of their arable enterprise and continuing review of inputs and overheads. Towards the end of the 2023 financial year and in the post year end period the industry has seen a rise in pig prices. The directors and other stakeholders are able to financially support the business, which shows a strong balance sheet position and return to profit in the period. As a result there are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
- | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
- | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |

Report of the Directors |
for the year ended 31st March 2023 |
STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
G.W. Woolhouse & Sons Limited |
Opinion |
We have audited the financial statements of G.W. Woolhouse & Sons Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31st March 2023 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
In our opinion the financial statements: |
- | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31st March 2023 and of its profit for the year then ended; |
- | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
- | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for opinion |
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
Conclusions relating to going concern |
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
Other information |
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
G.W. Woolhouse & Sons Limited |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
- | adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
- | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
- | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of directors |
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page three, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. |
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
G.W. Woolhouse & Sons Limited |
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements |
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, tax legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation. An understanding of these laws and regulations and the extent of compliance was obtained through discussion with management and inspecting legal and regulatory correspondence. |
We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by making enquiries of management and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
- | performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; |
- | tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; |
- | assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and |
- | investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. |
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: |
- | agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; |
- | reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; |
- | enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and |
- | reviewing correspondence with relevant regulators and the company's legal advisors. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
Use of our report |
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
G.W. Woolhouse & Sons Limited is a |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. |
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. |
Turnover |
Turnover from arable sales is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Turnover is recognised when the farm products and services have been delivered. |
Turnover, all of which arose in the United Kingdom, represents the total amount charged to customers for the supply of pigs and cattle, exclusive of Value Added Tax. Turnover is recognised when the pigs/cattle are collected by the customer. |
Intangible fixed assets - entitlements |
Basic Payment Scheme entitlements are initially recognised at cost and are amortised on a straight line basis over their expected useful life. Entitlements acquired via the ownership of existing land, and therefore having no cost, have been revalued to fair value on the transition to FRS 102 and amortised over their expected useful life. |
The Basic Payment Scheme commenced in 2015 and the old format of the scheme ended during the 2021 accounting year. Entitlements were amortised over their expected useful life, in accordance with this period of benefit expected from the Basic Payment Scheme. |
Entitlements purchased after this date have been amortised over their expected useful life, in accordance with the new period of benefit expected from the ownership of entitlements, when delinked payments cease in December 2027 falling into the 2028 accounting year. |
Provision is made for any impairment. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. |
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following basis: |
Freehold buildings | 4% per annum |
Farm improvements | 16% on a reducing balance basis |
Plant and machinery | 25% on a reducing balance basis |
Freehold land is not depreciated. |

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
for the year ended 31st March 2023 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Government grants |
Amounts receivable under the Basic Payment Scheme subsidy are recognised as income in the profit and loss account when the eligibility criteria have been satisfied at the end of the scheme year. |
Government grants received in respect of fixed assets are released to the profit and loss account in equal annual amounts over the estimated useful economic lives of the specific asset they relate to. |
Other government grants of a revenue nature are credited to income so as to match them with the expenditure to which they relate. |
Stocks |
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and represents costs incurred to date to bring growing crops, livestock and finished produce to its current state. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. |
Arable cultivations and livestock are valued under the cost model in accordance with Section 34 of FRS 102, using the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell method. |
Investments |
Unlisted investments are measured at cost less impairment. |
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 and loss in the period to which they relate. |
Tax |
Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit (or loss) for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax represents the future tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the financial statements of current and previous periods. It is recognised in respect of all timing differences, with certain exceptions. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of income and expense in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. 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. |
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing differences. Deferred tax on revalued non-depreciable tangible fixed assets and investment properties is measured using the rates and allowances that apply to the sale of the asset. |

The entitlements owned by the company, prior to restatement for FRS 102, but acquired at £Nil cost, were revalued to their fair value on the transition date. This transition value has subsequently been treated as their deemed cost and has been amortised in line with the accounting policy. The amortised fair value element of the Net Book Value at 31 March 2023 represents £nil (2022 £nil), which is shown separately within the fair value reserve. |
