J.P.S. FARMING LIMITED
Company number 03087195 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
J.P.S. Farming Limited is a conservatively-financed, family-owned mixed farming business in Hampshire with net assets of £1.99M and virtually no external debt—a balance sheet position that provides significant resilience in a sector facing structural subsidy transition and input cost pressures. However, the company's modest retained profit of approximately £25,700 on a £2M asset base yields a return on equity of only 1.3%, and the dramatic 2021-2022 reduction in retained earnings (from £8.2M to £0.5M) suggests substantial value has been extracted from the business, likely through dividends or group restructuring, which may constrain future investment capacity. The operation faces the dual challenge of replacing lost BPS income while maintaining returns on an asset base that is almost certainly undervalued on the balance sheet at historical cost.
