1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
|
|
|
The full financial statements, from which these abbreviated accounts have been extracted, have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective April 2008).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of goods and services supplied during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts.
In respect of long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services, turnover represents the value of work done in the year, including estimates of amounts not invoiced. Turnover in respect of lon-term contracts and contracts for on-going services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion.
|
|
|
|
Intangible fixed assets and amortisation
|
|
|
|
All intangible fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

|
|
|
|

1.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
|
|
|
Leasing and hire purchase
|
|
|
|
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rentals under operating leases are charged to the Profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the lease term.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Full provision is made for deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from all timing differences between the recognition of gains and losses in the financial statements and recognition in the tax computation.
|
|
|
|
A net deferred tax asset is recognised only if it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates expected to be effective at the time the timing differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.
|
|
|
|
Crop sales through long term crop pools
|
|
|
|
Long term sales pools of produce harvested but still in the process of being sold at the Balance Sheet date are included at cost within stocks. Produce sold from the long term crop pools before the Balance Sheet date is included in the turnover for the current year in accordance with HM Revenue & Customs BEN 19.

The company owns shares totalling £76 (2013 - £76) in three farming co-operative companies and has made loans totalling £15,961 (2013 - £15,961) to two of these companies. None of the companies pay interest or dividends to members, in consequence of which, prices received by members for farm produce will have been enhanced and purchases discounted.
The directors consider that the current open market values of the above investments are at least equal to their original costs.
