The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated. Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and in hand includes cash on hand, demand deposits and other term highly liquid investments regardless of maturity. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet. Creditors Creditors with no stated interest rate and payable within one year are recorded at 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. Financial instruments The company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable and loans to or from related parties which are recognised at transaction price. Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans from related parties and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at the transaction price (present value of the future cash flows, including transaction costs) and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Tax Current tax represents the amount of tax payable or receivable in respect of the taxable profit (or loss) for the current or past reporting periods. It is measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax represents the future tax consequences of transactions and events recognised in the financial statements of current and previous periods. It is recognised in respect of all timing differences, with certain exceptions. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of income and expense in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date that are expected to apply to the reversal of timing differences. Employee benefits When employees have rendered service to the company, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

Company activities and impact

Over the first financial year of Brook Hall Outreach CIC, the company has completed school educational visits for over 380 local school pupils to learn about farming, biodiversity, the environment and carbon. All school activities were provided free of charge, subsidised through other income earnings. In addition, the company has hosted two public open weekends welcoming over 2000 visitors and raising over £4000 for local and national charities. The company has generated income from hosting guided tours and workshops for local charities and community groups which has been used to subsidise the school visits.

Consultation with stakeholders

Local schools who have visited are asked to complete a survey of their experience, this survey has highlighted the struggle with rising cost for transport to visit. We will look at opportunities for subsidising transport costs for local schools to visit. Event organisers (NI Science Fest, National Garden Scheme, Open Farm Weekend) have been consulted through direct meetings. The various event organisers have been pleased with our levels of activities and wish to continue in the next year.
