The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019).

KHL has continued to grow and develop during the year. We have also consolidated several of our systems to support our infrastructure and to help us really demonstrate our impact.

We have continued to develop innovative projects that explore how clinical care can be effectively connected to community-based support and looking at ways to create an integrated system that really helps meet the needs of the community.

Our key highlights/achievements this year include:

1.    Strengthening/improving demonstrating our impact

We have improved our evaluation systems and data collection which has supported us to really demonstrate our impact. This supported us receiving the Kings Fund GSK Impact Award for 2025 (awarded May 25). We were highly delighted to receive this award and the recognition of our work.

2.    Continuing to deliver innovative projects

Our projects have really developed over the past few years, and we offer a range of diverse and collaborative projects and to support people with their health and wellbeing. These include MHC, RTP, BPC, Healthy Communities and young parents & families. We have seen a development in our work with young people and families and offer over 9 maternity circles across the district. Please visit www.khl.org.uk to see our most recent impact report, and for more details on our projects.

3.    Health Coaching

Alongside delivering over 40 groups a week we have really developed our health coaching model (offering 8,549 one to ones this year) to support people to look after/manage their health & wellbeing. We have undertaken a range of staff training and developing competencies for our coaches and continuing to strengthen using a coaching model.

4.    Collaboration

We have continued to work with a range of partners across all projects and aim to embed collaboration in projects in a meaningful way. We have also continued to work with Leeds Beckett University with our Rethinking Pain Programme service, plus worked with Leeds University on a Positive Intentions project and Oxford University on a menopause project. We have strengthened our user engagement through open days, user groups and feedback opportunities.

5.    Increased reach

We are working across Keighley, Wharfedale and the wider Bradford district. We are working with a range of partners and delivering our services across a variety of community centres and venues across the district.

Throughout 2024/25, KHL remained committed to delivering outstanding services and health-based initiatives. This year marked progress in diversifying our group activities especially around physical activity, increasing the number of short courses and workshops to promote community integration and skill development, plus broadening our reach through health checks that connected us with more individuals across the area.

Behind the scenes, we dedicated resources to strengthening our evaluation and data collection processes, enabling us to measure impact more effectively. One key outcome was a demonstrable reduction in GP appointments and medication use among our service users. We also streamlined our programmes to make the KHL offer more accessible, helping service users better understand how services interlink and ensuring they received the most suitable support.

Our projects have gained momentum. The Maternity, Young Parents and Families programme has grown significantly, now delivering support groups in nine locations while maintaining strong one-to-one support for young and vulnerable families. The Rethinking Pain programme continued to push boundaries with innovative resources that bridge clinical and community care, earning recognition as an exceptional model of work. Mental Health Connect experienced high demand, receiving over 1,270 referrals and delivering 2,197 one-to-one interventions.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities all trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of health, wellbeing and citizenship.

Fundraising

Keighley Healthy Living Network raises funds through grant applications to charitable trusts and securing commissions for work from statutory agencies including the local authority. Our main funders are The National Lottery Communities Fund, Bradford Metropolitan District Council, Keighley Towns Fund, West Yorkshire & Harrogate Health and Care Partnership.

Other funders are shown in the annual accounts including, Leeds Community Foundation, Garfield Weston, Project 6, HALE, Keighley & Worth Valley Community Partnership, Wharfedale & Silsden Community Partnership, Give Bradford, the Co-op Local Community Fund, KAWACC, The Brelm’s Trust and Bradford VCS Alliance.

We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and adhere to the code of fundraising practice.

The net deficit for the year was (£202,245), 2024: surplus £299,813, including net surplus of £70,405, 2024 (£6,312) on unrestricted funds and net deficit of (£272,653), 2024: £306,124 on restricted funds.

In conjunction with our Financial Procedures Policy the Reserves Policy forms part of our commitment to ensure the management and allocation of funds is carried out responsibly to enable Keighley Healthy Living Network to continue to provide its core services and to secure the viability of the organisation beyond the immediate future. The need to provide for medium to long term will ensure that we can absorb setbacks and take advantage of change and opportunity.

It is the view that we should have sufficient funds to enable Keighley Healthy Living Network to exist for a period of time (not less than three months and no more than six months), to enable the development of alternative funding streams.

The charity’s free reserves, excluding designated funds, restricted funds and fixed assets were £225,634. This represents approximately 2 months cover based on expenditure for the year of £1,345,923.

With the Charity going through an unprecedented growth in turnover and service provision, it has been difficult to increase the Reserve Funds in to meet optimum level ( 3 to 6 months of Annual turnover).

We therefore have aimed to hold reserves levels as to cover the immediate Liabilities of the Organisation (Minimal Level) to include - Redundancies, Statutory and Legal costs, any Lease or Hire Agreements, etc, but will continue to work towards holding the optimum levels required within the next 3 years

This is calculated as below:

     31.3.25

Total funds at 31/3/25        871,598

Less : Designated funds    (97,320)

Less : Restricted funds     (296,181)

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. The major risk to Keighley Healthy Living Network is non-renewal of contracts/grants and loss of income streams. Keighley Healthy Living Network has taken action, and have diversified our funding streams. We have a risk register in place and include current risks at each board meeting. We are planning to update our strategy for 2025 to 2028.

Insurance and other risks

Keighley Healthy Living Network carries buildings, public liability, employer’s liability and contents insurance through Towergate Insurance.

Growing concern

We feel we have grown significantly over the past years and have diversified our income. However the major risk to which Keighley Healthy Living Network is exposed is the non-renewal of existing funding and loss of income. Keighley Healthy Living Network has increased our contracts and are looking at new fundraising opportunities.

The charity currently has reasonable financial resources, the trustees/directors believe that the charity is well placed to manage its financial risks successfully. The trustees/directors have a reasonable expectation that the charity will adapt to the current environment and respond to the needs of the community and look at measures to ensure ongoing sustainability of the organisation. We have strengthened our organisations infrastructure and invested in new data, HR systems over the past year.

Plans for the future

Keighley Healthy Living Network intends to build on its progress and its established programme and will continue to build on partnerships to strengthen projects and communities working together. Building a resilient organisation, securing funding for its core delivery and continuing to meet the needs of the community will be its key focus.

We are further developing our health and medical conditions projects to support people to make changes to improve their health and wellbeing and quality of life. We will continue to work collaboratively and strengthen local partnerships to provide integrated services We are looking to ensure sustainability of contracts by securing funding from the health care system alongside grants.

We will continue to maintain our building and improve our environmental impact to create an excellent health and wellbeing centre in the heart of Keighley. We are working in partnership to create a new community and family hub in the local shopping Centre. We are developing a new strategy for 25 to 2028 and linking to local and national priorities. The strategy will include:

1.    Supporting Self-Care and Wellbeing: Help people build the confidence, skills, and knowledge to take control of     their health and wellbeing.

2.    Reaching More People: Extend our support to those not currently accessing our centre, offering flexible tools,     resources and activities that people can use in their own time and space.

3.    Collaborating for Joined-Up Support: Work with partners to connect community, health, and care     services, creating more joined-up support for local people, advocating for systemic change.

4    Putting Communities First: Listen to and act on what local people tell us they need, ensuring our work reflects the     realities of their lives.

5.    Learning, Growth & Development: Create a culture of continuous learning and improvement by investing in staff     and volunteer development and sharing knowledge with partners and the wider sector - giving the     members of our     community a voice.

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and was formed on 30 March 2001. It is governed by a memorandum and articles of association as amended by special resolution dated 14 January 2002.

The liability of the members in the event of the company being wound up is limited to a sum not exceeding £1.

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

The trustees of the charity are also the directors for the purpose of company law and are appointed by the members at the AGM. We have made changes to our Trustee recruitment methods including the use of Reach Volunteering. We have a strong effective board with a good skill mix and range of experience. We are looking at recruiting 2 new trustees next year and looking at how ensure diversity and skill mix within the board.

The CEO reports on the work of the organisation to the Board of Trustees at least quarterly. The CEO and the Finance Manager also report on the state of the finances of Keighley Healthy Living Network. Any trustee can ask for further information from staff members. Day to day management of funds, staff buildings, work programmes and development of new initiatives is delegated to the appropriate Manager/s. There are also 2 sub-groups HR, Finance & General purpose; and Project Governance & Risk who have delegated responsibilities that will be reported to the board.

Staff and volunteers

Keighley Healthy Living Network currently employs 31 staff that deliver projects within the centre and in out-reach settings. We have an excellent staff team who are highly committed to the charity.

Keighley Healthy Living Network is also supported by a range of volunteers who support our projects such as our social groups, activities and reception. In addition, we contract freelance staff to deliver several of our specialised projects such as exercise classes, art groups, and bereavement support.

Keighley Healthy Living Network supports the work of the Keighley and Wharfe Valley Community Partnerships; Community Action Bradford and District; and is a Locality Member and a member of ACEVO.

These memberships have no impact on the day-to-day operations of Keighley Healthy Living Network.

Relationships with other organisations

Keighley Healthy Living Network has no subsidiaries. Keighley Healthy Living Network works in partnership with a range of other voluntary, community and statutory agencies to deliver its key work programmes.

In accordance with the company's articles, a resolution proposing that BK Plus Audit Limited be reappointed as auditor of the company will be put at a General Meeting.

Each of the trustees has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditor is aware of such information.

2024–25 has been another successful year of development and delivery, demonstrating the growing role Keighley Healthy Living plays in supporting our community to live healthier, happier lives.

Evidence continues to highlight the importance of broader lifestyle factors in promoting health and wellbeing. Yet many people lack the knowledge or opportunity to take steps that could improve their lives. At Keighley Healthy Living, we help individuals make small, achievable changes by offering information, support, and activities that are both appropriate and enjoyable.

Our expanding range of services is developed in partnership with the community and statutory organisations, ensuring they are targeted, relevant, and deliver better outcomes and value for money. Like many charities, our main ongoing challenge is short-term funding. However, we have significantly diversified our income streams in recent years.

We remain confident that our dedicated team of skilled staff, volunteers, and trustees will continue to meet future challenges ensuring Keighley Healthy Living delivers high-quality, effective, and efficient services for our local population.

The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

The trustees, who are also the directors of Keighley Healthy Living Network for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Keighley Healthy Living Network (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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 charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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.

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

the information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, is consistent with the financial statements; and

the directors' report included within the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

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 trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or

the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, 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 trustees determine is 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 trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

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 an auditor's report 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Other matters

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

• The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

• We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the industry sector;

• We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation;

• We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and

• Ensured laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

• Making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was a susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud;

• Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; and

• Understanding the design of the company’s remuneration policies.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we;

• Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;

• Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions

• Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in note 2 were indicative of potential bias; and

• Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

In response to the risks of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

• Agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;

• Reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;

• Enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and

• Reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the company’s legal advisors.

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from the financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable 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 charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The statement of financial activities includes all gains and losses recognised in the year. All income and expenditure derive from continuing activities.

Keighley Healthy Living Network is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 13 Scott Street, Keighley, West Yorkshire, BD21 2JH.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with 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.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts 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 creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
