Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 March 2025

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    All tangible fixed assets having a value to the charity greater than one year, other than those acquired for specific purposes, are capitalised. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis to write off the cost as initial value, less residual value, of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives as follows: Office equipment 3 years Office furniture 3 years

    Other accounting policies

    Taxation Bright Light’s charitable activities fall within the exemptions afforded by part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010. Accordingly, there is no Corporation Tax charge in these financial statements. Pension costs Pension contributions are made to an approved money purchase scheme. These are charged in the year in which they are incurred. Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due. Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. Creditors Creditors are recognised where the company has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. Financial instruments The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

4. Fixed assets investments note

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals in the year. The charity does not acquire derivatives, put options or other complex financial instruments. All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year-end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
