Chairman's Report for the Year Ended 30 September 2021

Through the last financial year, our organisation has achieved significant progress. Having adapted our ways of working to cater for user needs during and post pandemic, the management team have also maintained resolute focus on moving our organisation from a projects led operation to one which aims to provide more permanent services in more locations using more enduring funding sources. Behind this shift in emphasis is the Sport England funded 'Scaling Up' programme which has introduced more systemisation and greater clarity of our service offering and volunteer needs and training. The programme workload is ongoing and is extensive but has also enabled Cycling Projects to expand its management team who are now successfully scaling up our reach in new areas such as Sheffield and parts of Cumbria and the West Midlands.

In order to increase our visibility and access to longer term funding, we have developed stronger relations with existing partners such as Sport England, DfT and British Cycling. In addition, good progress has been made to attract private sector funding which reduces our reliance on Government sentiment and associated fund sources which are available.

We have also strengthened our Board of Trustees with appointments of experienced professionals who will play a key role in enhancing Governance and performance management.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Significant activities

Cycling Projects is approaching its 30th year anniversary as a charity and has been responsible for the delivery of a wide range of different services over the years. The focus of the majority of the activities was on the general promotion of cycling engagement, but with emphasis on those who need to adopt more physically active lifestyles due to sedentary living and/or poor health, and those who may have limited abilities as a result of physical or mental impairment. The work programme is split into the following two categories: Pedal Away and Wheels for All. In addition, during this year Cycling Projects has been leading on a time-limited active travel project supporting people who are returning to employment. Through the pandemic we have been able to test an effective way of engagement supporting people with disabilities to be active through our Out on Your Loan and Bike Buddy schemes.

Pedal Away update

In this reporting period we have been focussing on restarting our Pedal Away, and this has included programmes in in Knowsley, Salford, Preston and East Lancashire. Projects have been funded through Public Health and relevant the Local Authority. Each Pedal Away programme followed the principles of providing cycle support packages and a range of community cycle rides for those returning to cycling. The whole focus of Pedal Away is to ensure that all community members have the skills, knowledge and confidence to be able to cycle with others. Programme activity reduces during the autumn and winter months and is generally at full capacity from March till the end of September. The implications of this being that with the Covid pandemic bringing lockdown and restrictions from early Spring, we had a reduction in both the delivery of programmes and the levels of attendance for Pedal Away during this reporting year. However, the importance of the Pedal Away programme through and beyond the pandemic cannot be underestimated; it is so clear.

Wheels for All update

In this reporting period we have been able to support over thirty-two Wheels for All centres, which offer regular inclusive cycling activities for their local communities.

During this period, we supported both charity-led and external Wheels for All centres prepare for delivery within the context of the Covid restrictions. This has included additional planning and procedures to ensure all cycles have been thoroughly cleaned, that personal protective equipment was provided, that routes and meeting points were specially marked out and that all staff and volunteers involved received the relevant training and support that they required.

Bike and Boots update

The Bike and Boots programme has been delivered in Knowsley through the partnership with Knowsley Public Health. The scheme has supported people who are returning back to the workplace, by giving them access to cycles and delivering support packages to meet their needs. The Bike and Boots programme has been recognised for its valuable contribution in helping many people remove one of the key barriers of being able to access employment opportunities.

New ways of working through and beyond the pandemic

In this reporting year Cycling Projects had to consider how it could continue to operate effectively and safely in the most constructive way to deliver services alongside the challenges and implications of the Covid pandemic. The focus has been on installing a renewed belief in being active in the community for individual, families, and organisations. We have played an important part in creating themes of trust and confidence in being active in the community setting.

This has been underpinned by working closely with participants and their families, as well as our staff and volunteers to ensure we had a good understanding of the anxieties, worries and challenges of being safely active again in a community setting. Naturally this has meant a reduced capacity in those that can attend at any one time but has also offered the opportunity for us to review a more tailored and enhanced support offer for those participating.

Alongside our specific, existing programmes of work, Cycling Projects has supported other new initiatives that were developed in response to the needs of communities during the pandemic.

Bike Buddy and Out on Your Loan programme have been born out of the need to support individuals, families and organisations who have people in their care who need to be active to stimulate both body and mind. The aim of the Bike Buddy package is to give those that have influence and decision-making factors for people in their care to embrace cycling as a credible and beneficial activity for everyone to enjoy. The Bike Buddy package will create a long-lasting cycling culture in the care home settings and the disability support agencies that we want to reach, and enable; such organisation to inspire staff, volunteers, and participants to all be active through cycling.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

For our young participants the provision of bikes has given an opportunity for the whole family to be active in their local neighbourhoods. For our adult participants, we have been able to give them guidance and support in terms of planning routes, maintenance as well as cycle training, which essentially prepares them to complete cycle journeys from home on their terms.

Working with disability partners - During the pandemic, we have continued to develop long lasting partnerships with national disability charities, including Leonard Cheshire, The Brain Charity and Mencap who have expressed concern for their clients around the safety of accessing public transport and becoming more isolated as a result of this during the pandemic. Through the support of our colleagues , we have helped partners in shaping their offer of cycling activities for all abilities as par t of the solution to addressing the needs of service users.

We have been able to build long term engagement programmes with Leonard Cheshire, which has enabled their localised settings to offer cycling as an everyday activity for the benefit of their members.

Inclusive cycling landscape - Through our national partnerships with Sport England, DfT, British Cycling and the Activity Alliance we have been able to continue the progression of a more inclusive cycling landscape. During this year our emphasis of support has particularly focused on creating an inclusive cycling offer that can continue to resonate with those that need to be active fo r health and inclusion reasons.
Creating the National Wheels for All Forum keeping connected with partners and other service providers - From the outset of the pandemic we recognised the need to work with and support other partners and providers, ensuring they can deliver inclusive cycling opportunities for their participants. To support this approach, we set up a regular zoom partner chat, sharing ideas and good practice throughout the inclusive cycling network. Through these engagements, we have been able to support inclusive cycling centres in restarting their local programmes ensuring that they comply with safe and effective practice. This has now gathered momentum and has brought the attention of guest speakers and partner organisation who can talk about their need to cycle and the importance of the network for people i n their care.

- Regional cluster developments - We have been able to use our profile and experience to ensure inclusion and accessibility is at the core of any active travel measures through good partnership work with the Combined Authorities and County Councils. We view the concept of a cluster offer to being crucial to the success of local level Wheels for All centres. The cluster concept gives an opportunity for regional support and for the creation of more opportunities for local participants to cycle on their terms by giving them choice in several Wheels for All hubs across a specific region. The Sheffield City Region has been a great example of this approach, whereby we been able to work with local partners to develop a new Wheels for All in Doncaster (and then soon to follow centres in Barnsley and Rotherham). This in turn, has led to positive discussions with Liverpool City Region, to create a regional co-ordinated approach for the eight Wheels for All hubs across LCR. Discussions with regions such as Greater Manchester Combined Authority, West Midlands Combined Authority and Cumbria County Council will follow in the forthcoming year.

New Wheels for All Centres.

This reporting period gave us the opportunity to continue conversations with potential funders and commissioners in regions across the country to develop the opportunities for new Wheels for All centres. This process is supported by the delivery of Wheels for All Try Out events, which act as great ways for consultation, and to then gauge the local interest in the development of Wheels for All centres. Successful developments have led to the launch of new Wheels for All centres in Colchester, Barrow, Leatherhead, Kingston and Doncaster.

Public benefit

The activities described in the previous sections have been undertaken for the public benefit and meet the overriding object of the charity to promote cycling and opportunities for cycling for the benefit of the public. These activities have been carried out successfully and hence allow Cycling Projects to continue to meet its public benefit requirements as a charity. The Charity has had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Operational Improvements

In this reporting period the charity made the decision to create a management team that represents the operations and strategic directions of the charity. This has included management leads for finance, operations, QHSE and the Scaling Up programme performance. The management team structure has been a great example of how the charity has progressed and matured as an organisation. The management team has been effective in supporting colleagues in the regions and ultimately ensuring delivery and development are managed in an efficient manner.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 September 2021

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Training

Our training team have consistently reviewed and developed out training programmes to reflect the needs of staff, volunteers, and partner organisations. Fundamentally, this is considering new ways of working, which will allow for a consistently high standard of delivery across our network of Wheels for All and will also underpin our Pedal Away and Bike Buddy opportunities.

Further training support packages have been delivered to Bikeability providers through the Bikeability Trusts' Innovation Fund, which enabled Cycling Projects to deliver disability awareness packages to instructors in Greater Manchester, Merseyside, London, Coventry, Essex and Buckinghamshire. This gave instructors insight and understanding when engaging with children and young people who have various levels of ability in an SEND setting. We are continuing to grow our partnership with the Bikeability Trust, so that we can roll out the disability awareness training to more providers across the country.

Scaling up - In January 21 Cycling Projects was successful in the next phase of Sport England investment through the national Scaling Up programme. Working alongside partners at Sport England and Spring Impact consultants, over the next two years, we have been given the opportunity to pilot new systems and processes, as well as strengthen underpinning infrastructure of each Wheels for All centres, working towards the growth and sustainability of the charity, and enabling the organisation to operate more effectively across national footprint.

In the current reporting period, we will use the Scaling Up investment to test our support packages, create a consistent approach, development standard operating procedures and create a value proposition that is attractive to external partners, and in turn this will create a long-term affiliation model for a Wheels for All centres across the country. has been tested in this reporting period.

Mobilisation - developing the volunteer workforce to connect with people in the community through the We Ride Together Campaign. Our We Ride Together campaign has been focussing on three themes of engagement-

Supporting a number of Wheels for All centres across the country to be equipped and prepared for new models of delivery through and beyond the pandemic. This will include new engagement approaches have to ensure people have positive experiences, the offer must be accessible for all, and participants have to enjoy the experience and want to come back for more.
Delivering a regional Bike Buddy, in partnerships with four Wheels for All centres, and giving them skills and knowledge to support participants to complete individual journeys.
Create a long-term campaign pitched as "We Ride Together" with the aim to create awareness of the Wheels for All network and how advocates of active travel and keen recreational cyclist can support the delivery of Wheels for All by volunteering in a number of roles for each centre.

Focusing on the needs of our staff and volunteers

Our ongoing national volunteer programme has continued to recruit, retain and support the development of volunteers who are involved with our Wheels for All and Pedal Away programmes. Volunteers are involved in administrative roles, as ride pilots, mechanics, fundraisers and community champions who have become advocates of our work. We have concluded that all such roles are needed to ensure the effective delivery of the local programme as well as the long-term sustainability of each inclusive cycling scheme. Volunteers also continue to support the governance and sustainability of the charity at both a local and national level.

The pandemic has affected all staff and volunteers in different ways, and this period has given us the opportunity to step back and reflect on what we have previously delivered as well as shape a package that could be responsive, flexible and positively impact on the health and wellbeing of every individual. It is our intention to continue using these approaches beyond the pandemic and to build on this learning for engaging with staff and volunteers.

The pandemic has also enabled us to dedicate time and resources to properly review the volunteer roles needed at many of our Wheels for All centres and allowed us to identify any additional needs required in support of our safe and effective delivery of programmes.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Operational Improvements

We have continued to build on the development of our data reporting systems established in partnership with Liverpool John Moores University. These provide the charity with increased insight and understanding of the impact of our programmes through participant data feedback. Collectively, this information alongside testimonies and case studies helps the charity to effectively report on its performance as well as to make the case for further support and investment in inclusive cycling initiatives.

The National Training Co-ordinator has continued to deliver our Wheels for All training programmes to support the delivery of inclusive cycling sessions, as well as adapting these to take account of safe and effective practice associated with the health risks of the Covid pandemic. Further training packages have also been progressed to support the development of the Pedal Away programme along with the introduction of a Bike Buddy initiative. In addition, we are now looking at the introduction of Bikeability training for children with disabilities at both SEN and mainstream schools.

Building on the existing volunteer programme, Cycling Projects was invited to bid for funding from Sport England that could support the future growth and development of the charity. We were successful in July 2020 in securing this funding for 6 months to work with Spring Impact to design, pilot and plan a sustainable structure for the organisation. If successful in this design phase, there would be a further opportunity to apply for additional resources to support the scaling up of the charity.

Focusing on the needs of our staff and volunteers

Our ongoing national volunteer programme has continued to recruit, retain and support the development of volunteers who are involved with our Wheels for All and Pedal Away programmes. Volunteers are involved in administrative roles, as ride pilots, mechanics, fundraisers and community champions who have become advocates of our work. We have concluded that all such roles are needed to ensure the effective delivery of the local programme as well as the long term sustainability of each inclusive cycling scheme. Volunteers also continue to support the governance and sustainability of the charity at both a local and national level.

A key priority from March 2020 for the charity was to organise and deliver a regular series of online forums focusing on keeping in touch with staff and volunteers and making sure they were up to date on any changing developments. It soon became clear that these online engagement sessions were very important for staff and volunteers, as it brought everyone together, sharing their situations and giving encouragement, happiness and laughter to all through these challenging times.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities

Despite these challenges and limitations, the charity has been able to adapt and develop its service offer and to work collaboratively with partners to ensure we support our service users, as well as our staff and volunteers in the provision of programmes and associated activities.

In 2020/21:

4 Pedal Away Ride programmes were delivered in Knowsley, Preston, East Lancashire and Salford.
We were able to deliver and support new Wheels for All / Covid compliant sessions in 18 locations. We also supported an additional 9 Wheels for All externally provided centres in preparation for delivery through the pandemic.
We delivered community cycling activities (Wheels for All and Pedal Away) at 23 locations across England and Wales.
212 volunteers have supported all Cycling Projects initiatives through this time.
We have delivered over 10 volunteer virtual coffee mornings connecting and supporting volunteers through the pandemic.
Delivered 16 Wheels for All networks forum meetings - bringing the lead contacts of WFA centres together as the ideal support network.
18 participants were supported through our Out on Your Loan project in the West Midlands. Each participant was supplied with an adapted loan bike alongside other support to ensure both adult and child participants could continue their cycling activities independently and alongside other family members.

Over 35 participants have participated in the Bike Buddy offer. enabling people to cycle and complete a journey. This has been delivered in partnership with several disability focussed organisations such as Empower in Trafford, The Brain charity in Liverpool and Liverpool and Sefton Mencap.

Training - 60 volunteers and staff trained to support 'Covid safe' programmes, this allowed all centres to be prepared and ready to operate in the new environment
Over 56 national, regional and local partners have continued working with Cycling Projects to support the delivery of our programmes and services. Partnerships included Activity Alliance, Midland Mencap, Leonard Cheshire (national), Active Essex, Kingston Borough Council, Cumbria County Council, Autism Together, Special Olympics Great Britain, Forestry Commission, British Cycling. National Trust and Sustrans.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

Cycling Projects has a wide range of revenue funding sources, which support the delivery of our services, as well as helping to sustain many of our established programmes. Resources are also dedicated to exploring new development opportunities and creating new initiatives and models of good practice around the country.

The charity has continued to secure funding - despite the pandemic - from a wide range of different sources, including being awarded grants to deliver new and existing initiatives for local authorities and public health departments. We have also been awarded contracts to develop and create new Wheels for All programmes, which are usually a mix of revenue and capital to help deliver a sustainable programme. In addition, we secured a special grant award to support the charity during the pandemic, enabling us to adapt our service offer as well as supporting other organisations in maintaining their inclusive cycling programmes.

Many of the current Wheels for All programmes rely on fees from participants, groups including day centres, colleges and SEN schools. All fees contribute to the running costs of community Wheels for All programmes. The delivery of Wheels for All Leadership training complimented by Wheels for All Maintenance and Covid safe training has continued to be an important part of the training revenue for the charity with many courses delivered independently of existing Wheels for All centres.

Cycling Projects generate revenue from consultancy work on a broad range of themes including reviewing independent training packages, providing technical guidance on pathways and trails and developing inclusive hire facilities for National Parks and other related organisations.

The charity also receives donations and pledges from individuals from across the country who want to give their time and raise funds for the charity either to fund specific cycles for Wheels for All centres or to help the development programmes within their local region

Investment policy and objectives

The Management Committee has considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and has found that the use of bank deposit accounts gives the opportunity to maximise income and flexibility.

Reserves policy

The Trustees have considered the amounts that would be required to administer the organisation in the event of crisis. This would include the potential costs of redundancy, notice periods, accounting, legal fees and repayment of any long-term contracts on closure. A prudent sum would equate to three months' operating costs held within the unrestricted general reserve - around £75,000

The actual general reserve for the charity at the year-end amounted to £331,943, but it should be noted that the majority of this is represented by stocks and fixed assets which are less readily available than cash amounts.

The value of unrestricted fixed assets at year-end totalled £152,353. At present free reserves (net current assets excluding stock), £179,590 are more than the 3 months running costs. However the charity operates a number of projects via unrestricted income/donations as well paying day to day running costs.

Going concern

The Trustees are continually reviewing the operations of the charity and its ability to deliver its objects during the Covid 19 pandemic. The Trustees have followed Government Guidance and are seeking financial assistance where appropriate and making cost savings where possible. In the opinion of the Trustees significant financial pressure will be placed on the Charity as a result of the Covid 19 pandemic but the Trustees believe they have the structure and resources to ensure the Charity remains a going concern.

Risk Management

We have identified the major risks facing the charity and have put in place appropriate strategies to mitigate those risks.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 September 2021

FUTURE PLANS

Despite a challenging year for all charities, we have looked to build constructively on the experiences over the last year. The pandemic has been particularly hard for people with disabilities - potentially some of the most isolated members of our communities. However, we have used this as an opportunity reach out and connect with many disability support organisations who have been concerned about the welfare of people in their care, and they can reconnect with the community in any way possible.

In terms of 2022/23 and beyond, Cycling Projects we will be focusing on:

Continuing to build on our strategic vision to become the inclusive cycling organisation of choice in the UK, through the achievement of our aspirations to effectively share and develop best practice across the national footprint. This includes supporting Sport England, British Cycling and other national partners in achieving the plans for a national inclusive cycling network.

We will also focus on developing partnerships with DfT, Active Travel England, Public Health England, as they all target specific programmes that inspire , engage and retain activity for people who have previously struggled to find activities to meet their needs.

Innovation - taking the cycling offer to the homes of individual through the Bike Buddy programme. For many people with disabilities, activity has now got to start from the front door of their homes or the day centres they may use. This was based on feedback from our disability partners reporting that their service users were not using public transport, and therefore cycling had an opportunity to play a key part in ensuring that they can be active, connected and less isolated.

The repairing of adapted cycles through the DfT cycle repair voucher scheme has been a great opportunity to ensure that all types of cycles can be assessed and then repaired through the voucher scheme. The partnership with the DfT has allowed this to happen, through an initial phase of repairing adapted cycles in the internal Wheels for All cent res setting. We hope that if this programme works well then it can be expanded to a larger audience across the

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donations, are recognised when the Charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

The accrual model has been adopted to recognise government grants in the year and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Where a grant becomes repayable it is recognised as a liability when the repayment meets the definition of a liability.

Grant income in the year of £64,923 is in relation to the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, all conditions attached to the grant have been met

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Expenditure

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs incurred by the charity to enable it to fulfil its core operations.
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Cycles purchased for wheels for all centres

When the charity is engaged in setting up a new WfA centre and the intention is that once the centre is established it will be transferred to a local group who will take ownership of it and run it, then any cycles and other equipment purchased for the centre is expensed when in the year of purchase. In the event that the centre cannot be independently established then the bikes and other equipment revert to the charity and are capitalised at that point in line with the policy set out above.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the Charity's core activities

Staff costs and related overheads are charged directly to the projects to which the costs relate.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing more than £150 are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis as set out below.

Depreciation rates are as follows:

Office and other equipment - between 3 and 10 years Adapted cycles - over 20 years

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's statement of financial position 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 net 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 costs 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.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publically traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit or loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Employee benefits

The costs of the short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the costs of stock or fixed assets. The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
