Designated funds are unrestricted funds Set aside for specific pU￿oseS at the discretion of the trustees. A sinking fund was created as a contingency fund to cover large repairs of the building in which it operates. Financial instruments Classlficollon Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instNment is any Contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of lh¢ charity after d¢ducting all of its liabilities. Recogiiition and measuremenl All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transa¢tion price (including transaction costs). except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair valu¢ (which is nomially the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrdngernent constitutes a financincv transaction. If an arrdngement constitutes a financing trdnsaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments dxscounted at a market rate of interest for a similar dcbt instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the ststement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amourjts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Financial assets are derecognised when and onty when a) the contrdCtua] Tights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another paty substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, ha5 transferred control of the asset to another paty. Pagell

(c) The contract may provide for a deterniinable variation of the re￿rn to the holder durtng the life of the instrumenL provided that (i) the new rate satisfies condition (a) and the variation is not Contingent on futUTe events other than (l) a change of a contractual variable rate. (2) to protect the holder against credit deterioration of the issuer. (3) Changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law, or (li) the new rate is a market rate of interest and satisfies condition (a). (d) There is no ¢ontra¢tual provision that could, by its terns result in the holder losing the principal amount or any interest attributable to the current period or prior periods. (e) Contracttjal provisions that pern)it the issuer to prepay a debt instrument or perniit the holder to put it back to the issuer before maturity are not contingent on future events. other than to protect the holder against the credit deteriordtion of the issuer or a change in control of the issuer, or to protect the holder or issuer against changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law. (fj Contractual provisions may pennit the extension of the terni of the debt instniment, provided that the return to th¢ holder and any other contractual provisions applicable during the extended terni satisfy the conditions of paragraphs (a) lo (G). Debt instruments that are classified as payable or receivable within one year on initial recognition end which meet the above conditions are measured at the undtscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. net of impairnient. With the exception of some hedging instruments. otherdebt instruments not meeting these conditions are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Commitments to make and receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned above are measured at cost (which rnay b¢ nil) less impairnient. Jiyvestmeiits Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or Preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value throu￿1 profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investtnents are measured at cost less impairnient. Page 12

Clevedon Family Church Notes to the Financial Staten)ents for tbe Year Ended 31 March 2024 (continued) Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impairn)ent. For investtnents ID subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other ronsideration. Any premium is ignored. Fair value measuremenl The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long a5 there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation te¢hnique. Page 13
