Development Project and Capital
Expenditure Expenditure incurred on the construction or significant enhancement of the Club’s facilities is treated as capital expenditure. Costs directly attributable to the development project, including construction costs and professional fees, are capitalised as work in progress until the project is completed, at which point they are transferred to freehold/leasehold buildings and depreciated over their useful economic lives. Restricted Funds Restricted funds (Other reserves) represent income received for specific purposes as defined by the donor or funder. Restricted income relating to the development project is recognised when receivable. As development expenditure is incurred, an equivalent amount is transferred from the restricted fund (Other reserves) to the general fund (Profit and loss account) to reflect the application of restricted income towards capital assets. Restricted funds (other reserves) represent unspent restricted income and do not represent cash balances.
General (Unrestricted) Funds (Profit and loss account)
The general fund represents unrestricted income and reserves available for the ongoing activities of the Club. Transfers from restricted funds in respect of development expenditure are credited to the general fund (Profit and loss account).
Development Loans
Loans received in connection with the development project are recognised as liabilities and measured at amortised cost. Loan proceeds are not treated as income and do not form part of restricted or general funds. Loan repayments reduce the outstanding liability, and interest is charged to expenditure as incurred.
Bank Accounts
The Club may operate a separate bank account for the development project for administrative purposes. The existence of a separate bank account does not determine the classification of funds, which is governed by the nature of the underlying income and expenditure.
