THE EXMOOR PONY SOCIETY

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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).

Objectives and activities

The principal activities and charitable objectives of The Exmoor Pony Society are to preserve the Exmoor Pony for future generations by encouraging the breeding of Exmoor Ponies, promoting the pony to the public and educating them on the heritage and welfare of this rare native breed listed as Category 2, Endangered, by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. Grants are provided by the charity along with financial support from the Horserace Betting Levy Board to encourage the breeding of ponies eligible for registration.

The Exmoor Pony Society supports breeders of the Exmoor Pony and encourages the use of quality stallions and mares through the inspection system, which maintains the standard of ponies registered, and parentage verification using DNA profiles which ensures that only pure bred foals are recorded in the charity’s stud book. Both judges and inspectors are educated through the probationer scheme and study days are held for ongoing education.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives in planning future activities.

Achievements and performance

For year 2020 the majority of the charity’s activities, meetings, shows and events were curtailed by the Covid-19 pandemic. Charity efforts were concentrated in virtual meetings and events; supporting breeders and owners; and implementing modernisation to the charity’s systems and processes. The charity supported, by charitable donations, external organisations that were severely disadvantaged by the pandemic whose aims reflected those of the charity. The charity introduced initiatives aimed at raising the public profile of the Exmoor Pony Breed and the value of the charity’s aims and objectives.

The Friends of Exmoor Ponies, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Society, continues, along with the Society, to promote the ponies at shows and other events throughout the UK.

Going concern

In light of the current coronavirus pandemic, the trustees have reviewed the likely future developments and remain of the opinion that there is no reason to believe that the charity will have to cease operating as a result of inadequate financial resources, or any other foreseeable event, within a period of at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these accounts.

The results for the year are shown in the Statement of Financial Activity on page 6. The charity had an overall deficit for the year of £35,245 (2019 (as restated): surplus £17,298).

The year under review is immediately preceding the charity’s centenary year in 2021. Charity activities were affected adversely by restrictions imposed in response to the Covid 19 pandemic. Nevertheless, despite this negative background the financial results are acceptable, and already include investment in increased promotion of both the Exmoor Pony Breed and the importance of the charity’s objectives with the aim of enhancing the profile of the charity’s activities. The charity’s investment in research at Glasgow University was in Year 2 of 3.

The trustees are actively seeking targeted research opportunities that can further the charity’s aims. Reserves are held by the charity in order to enable financial support to be given to such opportunities in the future.

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity and have adopted the necessary policies to mitigate and monitor these risks.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1.4 Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Grants received to assist with specific expenditure are released to the statement of financial activities as the expenditure is incurred.

Income is only deferred when:

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 repayable by the Bank.

Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts.

1.5

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information is support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

THE EXMOOR PONY SOCIETY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

1.6 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents 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.

1.8 Financial instruments

The charity 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 charity's balance sheet when the charity 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.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans 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.

THE EXMOOR PONY SOCIETY

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.9 Employee benefits

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 charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.10 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.11 Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

21 Prior year adjustments

Following a change in accounting software during the year ending 31 December 2020, income and expenditure categories for the charity have been redefined in an effort to match the criteria as set out in the Charities SORP (FRS 102). As such comparative income and expenditure figures from 2019 have been re-allocated to match the new definitions.

The value of the investment in the charity’s wholly owned subsidiary, Friends of Exmoor Ponies Limited, has been adjusted in the figures for the year ending 31 December 2019 to match the capital and reserves of the company as at 31 December 2019.

Three additional restricted funds were identified during the year (The Pam Ney, Marion Williams Bursary and Centenary funds). These funds all had balances in the prior period and as such the opening restricted fund balance for the year ending 31 December 2019 has been adjusted in order to bring these balances into account.
