NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
for the Year Ended 30 September 2017 |
|
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
|
WM.Kerr (Farms) Limited is a
|
registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. |
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
|
|
The financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2017 are the first financial statements of WM. Kerr (Farms) |
Limited prepared in accordance with FRS102. |
|
Revenue |
Revenue is the total amount receivable by the company for goods supplied and services provided, excluding Value Added |
Tax and trade discounts. |
|
Sales of produce are recognised upon despatch. |
|
Intangible fixed assets |
Intangible assets are represented by the cost of purchasing sugar beet contracts. These contracts are amortised evenly |
over the period for which they may reasonably be expected to be of value to the business. Amortisation at a rate of |
33.33% has been charged to the income statement in this respect. |
|
Intangible assets include entitlements to the basic payment. The entitlements are recognised at fair value and written off |
on a straight line basis over the period to 31 December 2019 when the scheme ends. |
|
Property, plant and equipment |
Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost of all tangible fixed assets other than freehold land and buildings, by |
equal annual instalments or by the reducing balance method over their expected useful lives. The rates/periods generally |
applicable are: |
|
Freehold land and buildings | Nil |
Improvements to property | 4% on cost |
Plant and equipment | 15 - 25% reducing balance and 10 - 33% straight line |
Motor vehicles | 15 - 25% reducing balance |
Tractors and harvesters | 15 - 25% reducing balance |
Office equipment | 25 - 33% straight line |
|
|
No depreciation has been provided for freehold property. It is the company's policy to maintain its property in a |
continual state of sound repair. In the case of freehold buildings, the directors consider that the lives of these buildings |
and their residual value are such that their depreciation is not significant. |
|
Inventories |
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and fair value less costs to complete and sell after making due allowance |
for obsolete and slow moving items. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent |
that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
|
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
|
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or |
substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. |
|
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of |
financial position date. |
|
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in |
which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been |
enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
|
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. |
|
Foreign currencies |
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of |
financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the |
date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
|
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance lease are capitalised in the statement of financial position. |
Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance |
leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
|
The interest element of these obligations is charged to the income statement over the relevant period. The capital |
element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are changed to the income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the |
lease. |
|
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 the income statement in the period to which they relate. |
|
|
Investments are valued at the lower of cost and market value at the year end. |
|
|
The Basic Farm Payment is recognised in the financial statements in accordance with current H.M. Revenue & Customs |
guidance. |
|
|
Joint ventures are recognised at cost less impairment. Shares of profits and losses are recognised in the income |
statement. |

Under previous UK GAAP the company was not required to provide for taxation on revaluation gains, unless the company |
had entered into a binding sale agreement and recognised the gain or loss expected to arise. Under FRS102 deferred |
taxation is provided on temporary differences arising from the revaluation. A deferred tax provision of £579,265 was |
recognised on transition with a credit of £116,052 included in the income statement to 30 September 2016. |
|
ii Under previous UK GAAP the company was not required to recognise the basic payment entitlements as an intangible |
asset. Under FRS 102, an asset of £61,181 was recognised on transition with a corresponding balance in deferred income. |
The amortisation charge in the year to 30 September 2016 was £14,396 with the same amount released from deferred |
income. |
