Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 2025

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

Income is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Membership Subscriptions Membership subscriptions are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis when: a) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company; and b) the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. Grants Grants are credited to income when the performance criteria are met.Royalties Royalties are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on an accruals basis in accordance with the substance of the relative Agreement when: a) it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company; and b) the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably.

    Other accounting policies

    Going Concern The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. In making this assessment, the directors have considered the company’s financial position, cash flow forecasts and available facilities for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. The directors have also considered the potential impact of the contingent liability disclosed in Note 14. Based on the information currently available and the likelihood of an outflow of resources, the directors believe that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements continue to be prepared on the going concern basis. Operating Leases Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the income and expenditure account as incurred. Pensions The company operates a defined contributions pension scheme for its employees and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the scheme in respect of the year. A defined contribution scheme is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions to a separate entity. Once the contributions have been made, the company has no further payment obligations. The assets of the scheme are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. Financial Instruments The Company only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company and their measurement basis are as follows: Financial assets – Prepayments are not financial instruments. Cash at bank - is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value. Financial liabilities - accruals are financial instruments and are measured at amortised cost as detailed in note 9. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments’ disclosure definition. Amounts owed to the parent company are held at face value, less any impairment. Holiday Pay Accrual A liability is recognised in the financial statements to the extent of any unused holiday pay entitlement. This is accrued at the balance sheet date and carried forward to future periods. This is measured at the undiscounted salary cost of the future holiday entitlement so accrued at the Balance Sheet date. Taxation The tax charge for the year comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, calculated using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Critical Estimates and Judgements Judgements have been made in respect of income recognition as outlined in the accounting policies shown above. No further significant judgements have had to be made by the Directors in preparing these financial statements. The Directors have made key assumptions about the expected useful lives used to determine the depreciation of tangible fixed assets. Foreign Exchange The company’s functional currency is GBP Sterling. Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Cashflow Statement A cashflow statement is not required for companies subject to the small companies’ regime in accordance with the provisions of FRS102 Section A – Small Entities Contingent Liability A contingent liability is a possible obligation whose existence will be confirmed by uncertain future events that are not wholly within the control of the entity. A contingent liability can also include obligations that are not recognised because their amount cannot be measured reliably or because settlement is not probable. A contingent liability is not recognised in the statement of financial position. However, unless the possibility of an outflow of economic resources is remote, a contingent liability is disclosed in the notes.
