Acre Accountancy Limited
|
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 28 February 2018. |
We aim to present a balanced and comprehensive review of the development and performance of our business during the
|
year and its position at the year end. Our review is consistent with the size and non-complex nature of our business and
|
is written in the context of the risks and uncertainties we face.
|
As a farming business largely based in poultry, the company continues to provide hatching eggs.This along with the
|
company's other main activities are organized in the the following three enterprises:-
|
We consider that our key financial performance indicators are those that communicate the financial performance and
|
strength of the company as a whole, these being turnover, gross margin and return on capital employed.
|
The turnover of the company by departments was as follows:
|
Cereals and Crops
|
|
238
|
|
|
258
|
|
Apples and Blackcurrants
|
|
432
|
|

|
Miscellaneous sales

|
|
Overall operating profit has increased to £1,255,587 (16.2%) from £941,709 (12.3%) and profit before tax to
|
£1,273,074 (£931,602 - 2017). Return on capital employed has increased to 16% (10.7% - 2017).
|
Principal risks and uncertainties
|
With the prospect of Brexit together with the current economy uncertainties and risks in mind, we are aware that any
|
plans for the future development of the business may be subject to unforeseen future events outside our control.
|
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 28 February 2018. |
Dividends totalling £300,000 were paid during the year ended 28 February 2018 in relation to the previous financial
|
The directors recommended dividends per share as follows to be paid during the year ended 28 February 2019 in
|
relation to the year ended 28 February 2018:-
|
'A' Ordinary £1 shares
|
|
NIL
|
|
'B' Ordinary £1 shares
|
|
£7.40
|
|
The total dividends for the year ended 28 February 2018 payable in the following financial year, are £300,000.
|
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 March 2017 to the date of this report.
|
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
|
-
|
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.
|
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.
|
The auditors, Acre Accountancy Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General
|
We have audited the financial statements of Corbett Farms Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 28 February 2018
|
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 28 February 2018 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.
|
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
|
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to
|
-
|
the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not
appropriate; or
|
-
|
the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast
significant doubt about the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period
of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
|
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
|
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 there is a material misstatement in the financial
|
statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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
|
Opinion 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.
|
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
|
-
|
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.
|
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.
|
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.
|
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.

Corbett Farms Limited is a
private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's
|
|
registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
|
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements
|
|
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
|
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value
|
|
added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods.
|
|
Turnover from the sale of eggs and other goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of the
|
|
ownership of them has transferred to the buyer. For the sale of eggs, this is usually at the point of hatching. For
|
|
the sale of other goods, this is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods.
|
|
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter. |
|
Freehold property
|
-
|
2% on cost |
|
Improvements to property
|
-
|
3 to 10 years on a straight line basis |
|
Plant and machinery
|
-
|
10% on cost |
|
Stock is valued using various methods that are intended to estimate the value at the lower of cost or net realisable
|
|
value, after making due allowances for obsolete and slow moving items. In respect of livestock an estimate of the
|
|
current cost less provision for reduction in market value is used.
|
|
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive
|
|
Income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
|
|
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 balance sheet date.
|
|
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance
|
|
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
|
|
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.
|
|
Hire purchase and leasing commitments
|
|
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. 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 profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element
|
|
of the future payments is treated as a liability.
|
|
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 or loss in the period to which they relate.
|
|
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of the contractual arrangement.
|
|
They are classified as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any
|
|
contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
|
|
