THE STANDARD STEAM LOCOMOTIVE COMPANY LIMITED

Trustees' Report

The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 30 April 2024.

Objectives and activities

Objects and aims

The Standard Steam Locomotive Company Limited (“the Charity”) is an independent charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 30 April 1996, and also registered as a charity in 1996. It was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the Charity being wound up the Trustees/Directors are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

The Charity’s purposes are as set out in the objects contained in the Memorandum and Articles of Association, namely, to construct and operate a steam locomotive and to exhibit for public benefit, for educational and instructional purposes, a locomotive of historic or scientific importance. This involves specifically building a BR Standard “Clan” Class locomotive 72010 “Hengist” of lot 242 cancelled by BR in 1956, to prove the success of the Standard 6MT design and include the modifications that were to be made to Lot 242.

The aims of the Charity are to construct a modern, go anywhere, low maintenance, low running cost steam locomotive, to complement and help complete the story of the British Railways’ Standard Class Locomotives. These aims fully reflect the purposes that the Charity was set up to further.

Public benefit

The activities set out in this report have been undertaken to further the Charity’s charitable purposes for the public benefit. The trustees/directors have complied with this duty under Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charities Commission and have paid due regard to this guidance in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

Overview - The Standard Stream Locomotive is a pioneer in the design and manufacture of a high-performance steam locomotive. Since the start of our Project, we have dedicated ourselves to excellence in engineering and innovation in the heritage sector and our aim is to deliver a greener and sustainable locomotive solution that drives the future of the Standard Class 6 72010 Hengist.

Operations - We are behind our project plan due to a lack of funds

Fundraising and Marketing - We have expanded our market reach and laid strong foundations for our fundraising efforts, and we have already seen the benefits from this in 2024 in terms of getting sponsorship for the driving wheels.

Conclusion - 2023/24 was a year of significant achievements for The Standard Stream Locomotive Company and I am confident in our strategic direction. As a group, I believe we are committed to innovation, and our focus on sustainability will continue to drive our success in the years ahead. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our team of directors, volunteers, and supporters for their unwavering trust and confidence.

Trustees' Report

Engineering

In the last year, the Council of Management (CofM) has continued to ensure that the Charity sustains progress towards the stated aim of the project, namely to construct and operate a steam locomotive for public benefit, thereby providing for both educational and instructional purposes, a locomotive of historic importance.

The smokebox is mounted on the frames complete with smoke deflectors and nameplates. The cab is currently being renovated having spent a considerable amount of time outdoors.

Extensive research at the National Railway Museum in York revealed that British Railways developed a new dragbox design in the late 1950s. As the railways were starting to get into the stride of conversion from steam to diesel, it was thought that this change had remained at the design stage. On examination of the two "big sister" locomotives that have been preserved, it was found that both had been fitted with the new dragbox. Therefore, the decision was made to manufacture and installation has commenced.

Bogie construction work has continued. We have had to relearn the 1950s lessons on how to prepare bolt holes for fitted bolts and this has consumed a considerable amount of time this year. We are now close to starting the final phase which is to measure and final machine the correct gap between the axle box guides for the wheelsets

After a period of little progress due to the pandemic, our pattern maker in Scotland has recommenced work on the wooden pattern for the cylinders which provide the driving force for the locomotive.

Two very successful Open Days were held in Spring 2023 and 2024. Prior to the 2024 Open Day, BBC North ran a short video piece on the project. This resulted in a considerable number of visitors from the Sheffield area.

Other activities

The storage container which was made available to the project has been fitted with LED lighting powered by a solar panel. It has been fitted out with shelving and a work bench. Newly manufactured ferrous parts are catalogued and placed onto one of the numbered shelves until required in the assembly shop.

We were gifted an LMS van body that was delivered to our storage area at CTL Seal. This has now been refurbished and is used to store low value sales stock. It has been fitted out with an area where members working on the locomotive can sit and have meals in inclement weather. While the vehicle can be, and is, locked when no one is on site, no items of great value are stored inside.

Membership numbers continue to increase steadily. Membership leaflets continue to be placed around the country and in particular at the many preserved railways, with some success.

The project continues to get very favourable coverage in leading steam orientated railway magazines. Regular updates on various social media pages are carried out. These are very well received with many positive comments about progress made on a regular basis.

Members continue to receive two issues a year of the in-house magazine, which, as part of our rebranding exercise, has been renamed Hengist Herald. The magazine has a new editor and continues to detail progress made in the preceding period and provides information on how they can assist in the promotion of the Charity’s aims. Electronic newsletters continue to be sent to those members with email addresses who are keen to receive more regular reports.

The finances of the Charity remain very healthy as will be seen elsewhere in this report. Costs remain under tight control, as the CofM continually concentrate on ensuring that the majority of funds raised go towards the project’s main aim of building a new steam locomotive.

The appointment of a professional fundraiser to assist in raising funds from previously untapped sources has proved to be a success. Fresh literature to provide to persons or organisations who may be interested in joining as a member or becoming a commercial sponsor organisation has been produced. Extra funding is becoming available to us as a result.

Trustees' Report

Financial review

During the year ended 30 April 2024, income of £79,221 was received, with total expenditure of £20,291.

The excess of income over expenditure generated a surplus of £58,930 and is available to spend on Hengist. This compares with a surplus of £51,306 for the previous year. Details are shown in the Financial Statements.

The actual spend on Hengist in the financial year was £42,639 compared with previous year spend of £54,657.

The cash at bank balance at 30 April was £185,870, compared with £171,876 at 30 April 2023. The higher balance at the end of April 2024 partly reflects the higher operating surplus and lower capital expenditure on Hengist than the previous year.

Policy on reserves

The Council of Management is satisfied with the overall financial position of the Charity. They have examined the Charity’s requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation and have established a policy whereby contracts for new components are entered into only as and when sufficient funds are available. Regular updates of available funds are presented to the CofM and, in addition, funds are only committed if the expenditure is in line with the build plan. The strategy is to continue to build reserves through planned operating surpluses when possible.

Principal funding sources

The principal regular funding source for the Charity remains monthly donations and subscriptions from members. Donations are also received from non members at railway galas, open days and other events and donations have been raised by the fundraiser.

Income is also generated from sales of donated items and company merchandise

In addition, the Charity continues to seek sponsorship and funding of parts and has been successful in achieving funding of the driving wheels.

Investment policy and objectives

The Charty maintains cash to cover day-to-day expenses and costs as well as funds which have been received for specific purposes, such as the bogie wheels. Where these funds are not required in the short term they are held on short term deposit. It is believed that investing funds long term would not be prudent when the Charities objective is to progress with the construction of Hengist as soon as possible.

Trustees' Report

Structure, governance and management

Nature of governing document

The Charity is run by a Council of Management (“CofM”), an operating committee consisting of up to nine individuals who meet and correspond regularly and are responsible for its strategic direction and policy. Being a Charitable Company, the CofM are both Charity Trustees & Statutory Directors. They come from a variety of professional backgrounds relevant to the work of the Charity. All individuals serving on the CofM give their time voluntarily and received no benefits from the Charity. The trustees and directors are all members of the CofM.

Those persons on the CofM, who served during the year under review, are set out on page 5.

New Members of the CofM are appointed on the basis of having appropriate experience and skills and are formally advised by existing Members as to their responsibilities and duties.

Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association one third of the Members of the CofM retire each year but are eligible for re-election at the next Annual General Meeting (AGM). All Members co-opted by the CofM during the year are required to be elected at the next AGM.

The CofM conducts a periodic review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, and, where required, systems or procedures are established to mitigate the risks the Charity may face. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with the health and safety of volunteers and volunteers attending forums and supporting sales events. These are also periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the Charity and its members and volunteers.

The Council of Management

The individuals who served the Charity on the CofM during the period were as follows:

Mr. J. Baldwin (President) Mr. A. England (Chairman) Mr. I. Henderson Mr. J. Hind Mr. R. Ife Mr. C. Jones Mr. G. Turner Mr. J. Spenceley (Membership Secretary) Mr. P. Lawne (Treasurer)

Financial instruments

Objectives and policies

The charity's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk and liquidity risk, governed by the charity’s policies and approved by the board of trustees.

Credit risk

The charity’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash and trade and other payables.

The charity has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2024

1 CHARITY STATUS

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.

The address of its registered office is: 97 Pingle Road Sheffield S7 2LN

2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

The Standard Steam Locomotive Company Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

The charity had net funds of £712,370 at 30 April 2024. After making enquiries the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Trustees continue to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.

Income and endowments

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

Donations and membership subscriptions

Income from donations and Membership Subscriptions is included in incoming resources when these are receivable.

When donors specify that donations are for particular restricted purposes, this income is included in incoming resources or restricted funds when receivable.

Investment income

Interest is included when receivable by the charity.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party.

THE STANDARD STEAM LOCOMOTIVE COMPANY LIMITED

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2024

Raising funds

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets represent the construction of the locomotive ‘Hengist’ and are recorded at cost. As an asset under construction, depreciation will be applied once the locomotive is operational.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

16 PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENTS

During the year the Trustees reassessed the carrying value of the locomotive "Hengist" currently under construction which was incorrectly valued in accordance with FRS 102 at the end of the previous year as a significant amount of construction costs had been incorrectly written off in the statement of financial activities which should have been capitalised as tangible fixed assets. An adjustment has been made in the current year to reflect the correct valuation of the locomotive's construction progress and the comparatives have been restated. Net funds at 30 April 2023 are £352,787 greater than presiously stated.

The Trustees also identified that certain donations and interest receiveable in relation to specific parts of the construction project had not been accounted for correctly as restricted funds in accordance with Charity SORP 2019. An adjustment has been made in the current year to reflect the correct split between restricted and unrestricted funds and the comparatives restated. This had no effect on net funds at 30 April 2023 nor on the surplus for the year then ended.
