for the year ended 30 September 2015

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).

Turnover
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of produce, excluding value added tax.

Storage rights

of sale. Given current market conditions, there are no indicators that the carrying value in the financial
statements is not unreasonable.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Plant and machinery etc - 20% on reducing balance

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and
slow moving items.

all criteria which entitle it to the payment.

Rental income
The company also receives significant income in respect of rental properties, which is treated as other income.
