NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020

1.


General information

Plessey Checks Farming Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales (Co number: 08865656). The registered office is Blagdon Estate Office, Seaton Burn, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE13 6DE.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

The 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 £.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Going concern

During the year, the company reported a profit, however at 30 September 2020 it had net current liabilities of £548,005. The beneficiary of the company's ultimate controlling party, the Fifth Viscount Ridley's 1995 Settlement, has agreed to provide financial support to the company to enable it to continue in operational existence for a period of no less than 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. As such the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
In drawing this conclusion the directors have given due consideration to the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic. The directors consider that the impact of the pandemic to date of approval of these financial statements is not significant enough to create a material uncertainty that the company will continue to be a going concern. 

 
2.3

Turnover

Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the company in respect of farm produce supplied during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts. 

 
2.4

Intangible assets and amortisation

Intangible assets consist of farm subsidy entitlements which are issued by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Intangible assets acquired  are initially recognised at cost at the date of acquisition. Following recognition under the costs model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Farm subsidy entitlements - 20% per annum straight line

2.Accounting policies (continued)

  
2.5

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Land and standing timber are not depreciated.

 
2.6

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 
2.7

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash at bank and in hand are basic financial assets and include cash in hand.

 
2.8

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors and loans to related parties.

 
2.9

Taxation

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
