Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 August 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 for goods supplied, net of discounts and Value Added Tax. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, usually on despatch of the goods; the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity; and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible assets are initially measured at cost, and are subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses or at a revalued amount. Any tangible assets carried at a revalued amount are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in capital and reserves. However, the increase is recognised in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in capital and reserves. If a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset, the excess is recognised in profit or loss. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: - Plant and machinery: 33.33% straight line - Office equipment : 33.33% straight line IMPAIRMENT A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

    Valuation information and policy

    The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company.

    Other accounting policies

    LIMITED BY GUARANTEE The company is limited by guarantee and has no share capital. Every member of the company undertakes to contribute to the assets of the company, in the event of a winding up, such an amount as may be required not exceeding £1.

Year Ending: 31 August 2025

Company activities and impact

We worked with 30 artists on the education programme between August 2024-2025, bringing accessible, affordable art education to those who need it in the county of Essex where we are the only MA-ish level art education offering. We welcomed in over 50 practitioners to work with and support them on their learning journey and with their creative practices. The artists on the education programme put on one open to all public facing exhibition over 3 months in Southend-on-Sea for the creative community which included free to access public workshops, performances, video screenings and events for the wider community. The group also went on residency to Portugal and various trips to art spaces around the UK. TOMA published a book, How to set up an art school, which supports other artists who want to set up learning programmes as well as the wider creative sector. The book is available through tiered pricing and we also offered free copies to those who could not afford it. TOMA took the book on tour around the UK, putting on talks and workshops around the publication hosted by a variety of arts organisations and reaching over 300 audience members. These events were free to attend. TOMA also hosted a public programme in collaboration with The Old Waterworks offering free access to Pluto Press books through the form of a permanent library for the community, alongside a programme of talks, workshops and events which were all free to access.

Consultation with stakeholders

Consultation with TOMA participants took place quarterly through group feedback and the programme is shaped directly by what is shared in this anonymous feedback. Feedback and consultation also took place at each session through direct conversation with programme participants and we worked with an evaluator to bring more focussed reflection to the programme and participants’ experiences.
