Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 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

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: Plant and equipment: 25% on reducing balance Computers: 33% on cost The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to surplus or deficit.

    Other accounting policies

    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. Income and expenditure Income and expenditure are recognised on an accruals basis, as earned or incurred. Expenditure is stated inclusive of VAT where the company is not entitled to recover it. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. Financial instruments The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Basic financial assets Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. Classification of financial liabilities Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Basic financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method

Company activities and impact

The Breech Birth Network is a Community Interest Company (CIC), meaning all profits made go back into the community and the work of the company. This money helps to fund research, further training, and attendance at conferences. Thank you to all those who have contributed to the Breech Birth Network, CIC, by paying to attend training days over the last year. Without your contributions we would not be able to fund these activities. In 2025 we facilitated over 10 publicly advertised vagina breech birth workshops. This brought physiological breech teaching to approximately 400 health professionals. This includes obstetricians, junior doctors, midwives, paramedics and students. Over 3000 online learners also access our training materials through the OptiBreech Academy. We also provided free access to our online courses to charities we support in the developing world.

Consultation with stakeholders

Feedback is regularly requested from those attending training events. Outcomes from this consultation are incorporated into training. The organisation also supports the OptiBreech Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement group, which advises breech researchers on service user views on proposed research projects.

Directors' remuneration

The total amount payable to the directors in the year totalled £23,124.

Transfer of assets

No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
