NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

for the Year Ended 31 December 2025

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| The Lotteries Council 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.

| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006.

3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| Basis of preparing the financial statements

| These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

| The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below and these policies have been applied consistently to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

| Turnover

| Turnover represents invoiced membership Fees to the council and for attendance at the annual conference. Turnover from the supply of services represents the value of services provided under contracts to the extent that there is a right to consideration and is recorded at the value of the consideration due. Where payments are received from members in advance of services provided, the amounts are recorded as deferred income and included as part of creditors due within one year.

| Tangible fixed assets

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

| Computer equipment | - | 20% on cost

| 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, if any.

| Taxation

| Taxation represents the sum of tax currently payable and deferred tax on a non discounted basis.

| 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 all 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. 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 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 is realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

| Cash and cash equivalents

| Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include deposits held at call with banks.
