Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 31 December 2025

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| The British Institute of Cleaning Science Limited is a private company, limited by guarantee , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| Basis of preparing the financial statements

| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A - "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" ("FRS 102 section 1A") and with the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

| The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£) and cover the period to the 31st December each year.

| Going Concern

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

| Preparation of consolidated financial statements

| The financial statements contain information about The British Institute of Cleaning Science Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.

| Related party exemption

| The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

| Significant judgements and estimates

| In the application of the company's accounting policies management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

| The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described below.

| (a) Deferred income

| As stated in the 'Turnover' note, membership income is spread evenly over the period of the membership. Joining fees are deferred over the first year of membership.

| Turnover

| Turnover represents the invoiced amount of services provided stated net of value added tax. The turnover and pre tax profit is wholly attributable to the operating activities of the company. Turnover is recognised upon evidence of the date the service is provided or for membership income spread evenly over the period of the membership.

| Science Limited (Registered number: 01524014) |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Tangible fixed assets

| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

| Freehold property | - | 2% on cost

| Plant and machinery | - | 33% on cost

| Fixtures and fittings | - | 25% on cost

| Computer equipment | - | 25% on cost

| Taxation

| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

| Deferred tax

| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

| 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.

| Foreign currencies

| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

| Differences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the balance sheet.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Trade and other debtors

| Trade and other debtors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts except where the effect of discounting would be immaterial. In such cases, the receivables are stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

| Trade and other creditors

| Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.

| Interest bearing borrowings

| Interest bearing borrowings are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost with any difference between the amount initially recognised and redemption value being recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings, together with any interest and fees payable, using the effective interest method.

| Leasing commitments

| Rentals under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the lease term, even if the payments are not made on such a basis. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are similarly spread on a straight line basis over the lease term.

11. | FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

| The company has some exposure to credit, liquidity and cash flow interest rate risks, These risks are limited by the company's financial management policies and practices described below.

| Foreign currency risk

| The company has exposure to foreign currency risks as some of the company's sales are denominated in Euros and other world currencies. The company operates a Euro (€) current account to help mitigate the risks arising from exchange rates.

| Credit risk

| Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the institute by failing to discharge an obligation. The Institute has limited exposure to credit risk with the highest risks arising from trade debtors going bad. The Institute reduce the risk through sensible sales ledger management policies.

| Liquidity risk

| The directors have ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management in maintaining adequate reserves and banking facilities. The only significant non-derivative financial liability remaining at the reporting date is the overdraft on the bank account.

| Market risk

| There is a market risk associated with the fluctuation in demand for the products and services provided. Most of this is mitigated by monitoring the markets.

| The company holds no derivative financial instruments at the year end.

12. | DISCLOSURE UNDER SECTION 444(5B) OF THE COMPANIES ACT 2006
