## Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 30 June 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

  Turnover policy

  Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied: the Company has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Company; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

  Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

  Tangible fixed assets held for the company's own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its tangible fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost or valuation less the estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life: Leasehold land and buildings 10% Reducing balance Plant and machinery 15% reducing balance Furniture, fittings and equipment 20% reducing balance

  Other accounting policies

  Taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from the surplus as reported in the income and expenditure account because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible timing differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in the income and expenditure account, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Trade and other debtors Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Trade and other creditors Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Company activities and impact

HQ CAN CIC delivered a range of music education, mentoring and creative industry development activities across Leicester and Leicestershire during the financial year. The organisation provides opportunities for unemployed adults, emerging artists and individuals from under-represented backgrounds to access music education, develop creative skills and build pathways into the music and wider creative industries. During the year, HQ CAN delivered workshops, mentoring sessions and industry engagement events designed to develop participants’ confidence, employability and professional skills. The organisation also supported wider sector development through initiatives including the Leicester Music Conference, community music projects and collaborative events such as Brew Beat Festival, which brought together artists, industry professionals, education providers and the public. These activities created opportunities for participants to gain practical experience, develop networks and showcase their work while engaging with the local creative economy. Through its programmes, HQ CAN continues to support community participation in music, improve confidence and wellbeing, and contribute to the growth of Leicester’s creative industries by connecting grassroots talent with education and industry partners.

Consultation with stakeholders

Key stakeholders include funding and strategic partners such as the Leicester Music Board, Arts Council England, The National Lottery Community Fund, Youth Music, the Department for Work and Pensions, Leicester and Rutland Community Foundation, other third sector organisations, local artists, and participants involved in the company’s programmes and events. Stakeholders are consulted through ongoing evaluation processes including milestone surveys, participant feedback forms, informal dialogue, face-to-face meetings, partner discussions and engagement through social media and community networks. Feedback from these consultations is used to improve programme delivery, shape future workshops and events, and ensure activities respond to the needs of participants and the local creative community. This has informed the development of new training opportunities, community music initiatives and collaborative events aimed at improving access to creative skills, networking opportunities and pathways into employment within the creative industries.
