Balance Sheet (continued)

As At 31 January 2026

In 2025–26, Community Enterprise Engine supported over 150 social enterprises and community groups, contributing to the creation of more resilient and inclusive local economies. Our social impact is created both through our funded and unfunded work.

● Total Social Enterprises Supported: Over 150

● Growth Accelerator for Social Entrepreneurs: Provided capacity-building support to over 112 Leicester-based social enterprises and charities

● Social Innovation Venture Builder Series: Engaged 48 participants across 6 themed workshops and 20 tailored 1:1 meetings

● Additional social value: Directors contributed over 240 hours of unfunded support as angel partners and community champions.

Our directors led on the development and delivery of the Growth Accelerator for Social Entrepreneurs, in partnership with the University of Leicester School of Business and the Cooperative and Social Enterprise Development Agency. Between October 2023 and March 2026, the Growth Accelerator for Social Entrepreneurs provided structured capacity-building support to over 112 Leicester based social enterprises and charities. Delivering intensive 1:1 consultancy, collaborative Peer Growth Circles, Social Hackathons, and Social Investment Funding Fairs. We have also committed to the long term impacts of this project, making our online ‘Growth Accelerator Workbook’ free to access ongoing, and continuing to provide the peer group meet ups and social investment funding fairs on an unfunded basis.

Between August 2025 and March 2026 we delivered the Social Venture Builder Series for Loughborough University's Incubator. This project provided capacity-building support to socially driven ventures across Charnwood. The programme exceeded its engagement targets by delivering six themed workshops and twenty tailored 1:1 meetings to a community of 48 participants. By offering practical guidance on financial resilience, governance, and grant funding rules, the initiative directly supported the incorporation of a new social enterprise, Youth Anstey Refills CIC, and empowered local groups such as Inspire Young People and Families CIC to successfully secure statutory grant funding and win a pitching event for investment.

Both of our directors are keen community champions providing additional social value outside of their funded projects including:

● Tobias has contributed approximately 200 hours of voluntary support, providing governance, civic leadership, and enterprise mentoring to the East Midlands ecosystem. Acting as an advisory board member, Chair, and mentor, he has offered strategic guidance and capacity-building support to organisations including the Loughborough East Community Association (LECA), Women on Boards CIC, the University of Leicester, and the Focus Charity.

Through expert coaching, event facilitation, and social advocacy, he has supported these organisations to empower disadvantaged communities, foster youth enterprise, and advance regional environmental initiatives.

● June has contributed over 43 hours of voluntary support, providing capacity-building expertise, acting as a critical friend, and offering strategic advice and a trusted sounding board to organisations including Jamila's Legacy, Highfields Adventure Play Association, and STEMPura. Through mentoring, constructive challenge, and expert guidance, she has supported these organisations to strengthen their capacity, governance, and long-term sustainability.

Collectively, these activities demonstrate our sustained commitment to building a stronger, inclusive, and more sustainable Midlands social economy.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For The Year Ended 31 January 2026

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. General Information

Community Enterprise Engine Ltd is a private company, limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 11177257 . The registered office is 75 Empress Road, Loughborough, LE11 1RH.

2. Accounting Policies

2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.

2.2. 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.

2.3. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Plant & Machinery	Reducing balance 25% per annum
Computer Equipment	Reducing balance 25% per annum

2.4. 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 years 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 assets reflect 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 and deferred tax are recognised in surplus or deficit for the year, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case current and deferred tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
