NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2018 |
|
|
1. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
|
|
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
|
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting |
estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies. |
|
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These |
policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. |
|
Going concern |
The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through careful management of working capital |
positions. After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate |
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, with the continued financial support |
from its parent company and fellow subsidiary undertakings, and the continued availability of the group bank |
overdraft and loan facility. The company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its |
financial statements. |
|
Related party exemption |
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The |
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party |
transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
|
Significant judgements and estimates |
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, |
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
|
i) Critical judgement in applying the entity's accounting policies |
There are no judgements in applying the entity's accounting policies that have a significant risk of causing a |
material misstatement to the financial statements. |
|
ii) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions |
The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, |
by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk |
of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are |
addressed below. |
|
(a) Impairment of debtors |
The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing |
impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the |
debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience. |
|
(b) Taxation |
The company establishes provisions based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the |
tax authorities. |
|
Turnover |
Turnover represents garden centre takings, net of discounts and value added tax. |

|
Tangible fixed assets |
|
Freehold property | - |
|
Plant and machinery | - |
|
Fixtures and fittings | - |
|
Computer equipment | - |
|
|
Depreciation is charged to administrative expenses in the profit and loss account. |
|
Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost |
includes the original purchase price, costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its |
intended use, dismantling and restoration costs. |
|
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in |
circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. |
|
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if |
appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. |
|
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are |
recognised within the statement of comprehensive income. |
|
Stocks |
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow |
moving items. |
|
At the end of each reporting period stock is assessed for impairment. If an item of stock is impaired, it is reduced |
to its selling price less costs to sell and an impairment charge is recognised in the profit and loss accounts, Where |
a reversal of the impairment is recognised the impairment charge is reversed, upto the original impairment loss |
and is recognised in the profit and loss account. |
|
Taxation |
Taxation expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is |
recognised in the profit and loss account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other |
comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or |
directly in equity respectively. |
|
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
|
(i) Current tax |
Current tax is the amount of income tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the year or prior years. Tax is |
calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end. |
|
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax |
regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts |
expected to be paid to the tax authorities. |
|
(ii) Deferred tax |
|
Deferred tax arises from timing differences that are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive |
income as stated in the financial statements. These 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. |
|

|

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2018 |
|
|
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Deferred tax cont. |
Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred |
tax assets are only recognised when it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax |
liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
|
Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period |
and and that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing difference. |
|
Foreign currencies |
(i) Functional and presentational currency |
The company's functional and presentational currency is Pound Sterling for all years presented. |
|
(ii) Transactions and balances |
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using spot exchange rates at the date of |
transactions. |
|
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items |
measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and |
non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was |
determined. |
|
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at |
period end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in |
the profit and loss account. |
|
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the |
profit and loss account within 'finance (expenses)/income'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are |
presented in the profit and loss account within 'Other operating (losses)/gains'. |
|
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
Rentals paid under operating leases are charge to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the |
lease. |
|
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company contributes to money purchase pension schemes for the benefit of certain employees. Contributions |
payable are charged to the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate. |
|
Financial instruments |
The company has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. |
|
(i) Financial assets |
Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially recognised at |
transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where a transaction is measured at |
the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
|
Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
|
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective |
evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying |
amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest |
rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit and loss. |
|
Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are |
settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another |
party or (c) control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally |
sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions. |
|
(ii) Financial liabilities |
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payable, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the |
arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at present value of the |
future receipts discounted a market rate of interest. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
|
Financial liabilities cont. |
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. |
|
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of |
business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or |
less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction |
price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
|
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is |
discharged, cancelled or expires. |
|
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts presented in the financial statements when there is |
a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or |
to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
|
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash includes cash in hand and deposits held with banks. Bank overdrafts, when applicable, are shown within |
borrowings in current liabilities. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to |
known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. |
|
Dividends |
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised |
when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general |
meeting. |
|
Provisions for liabilities |
Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the company a legal or constructive obligation |
that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the |
amount of the obligation. |
|
Provisions are charged as an expense to the statement of comprehensive income in the year that the company |
becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Balance Sheet date of the |
expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. |
|
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance Sheet. |
|
Share capital |
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares |
or options are shown in equity as deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. |

"Other loans" due in over 5 years are interest free. |
|
The directors have not measured "Other loans" at net present value on the basis that this treatment reflects the |
substance of the transaction. The is a departure from the requirements of FRS 102. If the "Other loans" balance |
was discounted to net present value the effect on the accounts would be as follows: - a reduction in the loan |
balance of £441,006 and an addition to the capital contribution reserve of the same amount. In future years the |
discounting would be unwound through the profit and loss account to the "Other loans" cash value at the |
expected date of repayment. |

|

by a fellow subsidiary, that was sold subsequent to the year end. |

|
During the prior year the company entered into a cross guarantee agreement along with its parent and fellow |
subsidiaries relating to a group wide bank overdraft facility. During the current and prior year, the company has |
no contingent liability in relation to this bank overdraft facility since the overdraft is included in full on this |
company's balance sheet. |
|
The company also entered into a cross guarantee and pledged its freehold property as security on its parent |
company's bank loan. At the year end the balance on this loan was £2,274,311 (2017: £2,415,235). |
|
15. | POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS |
