Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 30 November 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: Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. Sale of goods: Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods. Rendering of services: Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.

    Other accounting policies

    Stocks and Work in Progress: Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Work-in-progress is reflected in the accounts on a contract by contract basis by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses. - Taxation: Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable surplus for the year. Taxable surplus differs from surplus as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other year and items that are never taxable or deductible. 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 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 surplus. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable surplus will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. 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 surplus will be available to allow all 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 realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and asset reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in surplus or deficit, except when they related to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

Company activities and impact

While the BFA is mainly engaged with the Focusing community here in the UK, we are very pleased that we have not only continued to develop Focusing within the UK, but continue to extend a welcome to membership for people from other countries. We have increased our membership considerably, which consists of Focusing Practitioners and Focusing Teachers. By continuing to improve our website, we offer an accessible portal through which members of the public can learn about Focusing, and in addition, find out how to contact Focusing Practitioners and Teachers, for further information or training in this ther-apeutic practice. Members have been able to publish their own blogs on our website, thus promoting new events and developing ideas and views for discussion. The lively email group provides a forum for members to discuss ideas and developments within the Focusing community. Members of the community have held meetings both online, and in person, with one meeting offering a “hybrid” approach, thus facilitating higher participation. This year the we held a successful Summer School in the West Midlands which presented workshops and talks by national and international Focusing Trainers and was attended by over 100 people. We also held an in person Spring gathering in Exeter.

Consultation with stakeholders

The stakeholders are the members of the BFA CIC. Members are consulted through the live-ly email discussion gaggle group which is open to participation from all members. One example was where the membership were consulted about the potential to modify the website to make security stronger. Options were discussed such as hiding email addresses and creating opt in and opt out buttons, and the wording needed was also discussed. Follow-ing on from this consultation with stakeholders action was taken to make a number of modifi-cations to the website as agreed. Our AGM is held online and open to all members with AGM proposals sent out via the email gaggle so that all can participate in the decision making process during the AGM. We required we set up working groups to further explore topics – for example this year a discussion group formed around exploring the BFA ethos.
