NEWBURY & THATCHAM HOSPITAL BUILDING TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) REPORT OF THE CHARITY TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
The Board of Directors, who are the Charity Trustees for the purposes of the Charities Act 2011, present their Annual Report for the year ended 30 September 2025 under the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011, together with the audited financial statements for the year. The Board confirms that the latter comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practise applicable to charities preparing accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019) (Charities SORP (FRS102)).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The object of the Charity, in accordance with the Articles of Association, is the relief of sickness in the community.
The Charity aims to help the community of Newbury and Thatcham and the wider area especially, but not exclusively, by the provision and servicing of hospital buildings, facilities and equipment for the treatment of people referred for hospital treatment at the West Berkshire Community Hospital.
In order to fulfil this purpose, the Charity is, inter alia, authorised to receive donations, subscriptions and other assets in accordance with its objectives and to apply these funds solely towards the promotion of its objectives.
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 17 (5) of the Charities Act 2011, to have due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.
The Trustees’ objective for the year was to continue to provide first class accommodation to meet the strategic aims of the Charity. Additionally to improve patient care by the provision of equipment and improvements to facilities where the capital costs cannot be met by Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (BHFT) but where BHFT is able to meet revenue costs associated with the asset.
The Trustees select Facilities Management service companies who are able to provide this service and who are familiar with the requirements of hospitals. The Trustees scrutinise the performance of the Facilities Management Company to ensure performance at the highest level is maintained. The Trustees engage an outsourced finance and administration team to run the financial requirements associated with its activities.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Board’s main focus this year was continuing the support given to the West Berkshire Community Hospital in various ways.
-
e We installed French Doors on Donnington Ward, with the assistance of a donation from Newbury & District Cancer Care.
-
e We facilitated the installation of improved ventilation in the Dental Rooms.
-
e We facilitated the installation of air conditioning in two meeting rooms..
-
° The lifecycle fund, amongst other works, covered remediation works to the fire doors, work to the nursecall system, re-painting, replacing flooring and blinds, replacement emergency lighting and works to the render.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)
Last year we said we would:-
-
e Complete the Alston Imaging Suite for mammography and dexascanner and ensure it is brought into operation. -This was completed in Autumn 2024 and officially opened on 13 December 2024. The equipment was provided by the Government via their funding for diagnostic hubs. The League of Friends provided the funding for the dexascanner.
-
» Support the construction of the new MRI building. - Disappointingly this has not yet reached a conclusion. Legal discussions continued throughout ihe year between the lawyers for the two NHS trusts, our lawyers and those of the Funder. At the year-end we were approaching agreement.
-
- Reorganise the staff car park to alleviate parking in the patient car park. - The work on this continued through the year. BHFT had plans for decarbonising WBCH which
-
would see plant being put into the car park. West Berkshire Council linked the two planning applications and added conditions which have delayed this project. As the Decarbonisation is not now going ahead we hope to be able to progress with this work in the Spring of 2026.
-
« Support Bellrock in undertaking a survey of the hospital rendering and facilitate any repairs. - Planning continued on this and work on the render above the hospital corridor commenced in
-
July 2025. It will be done over a few years and will be funded from the lifecycle fund.
-
e Support Bellrock with the annual review of the hospital premises to ensure that the condition at the hand-back meets the required standard. - This is no-going to the end of the contract in 2032. Contract Review Group meetings are held monthly wit the charity, Bellrock and BHFT.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Funding from BHFT continued to be received during the year in line with the financial model for the operation of the non-medical functions of the hospital. The expenditure for the year was made in accordance with the same model to provide the hospital facilities and the additional projects as above.
RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees consider that they need to keep sufficient funding available to overcome any given emergency with the hospital buildings and to provide operational costs in the case of failure of the Facilities Management Company. They also hold funds to develop the hospital if there is an appropriate medical requirement that BHFT is unable or unwilling to fund.
The Trust has entered into a long-term contract spanning some 30 years of which it is only part of the way through. The Trust requires substantial reserves in order to manage the risks associated with short term operational working capital needs, risks in the timing of funding streams and uncertainties surrounding long term assumptions within the funding model (e.g. inflation and interest rates). They are also required to hold cash balances in various accounts with the Funder in order to comply with the terms of the contract. These amounted to £9,713,831 (2024: £8,693, 744) at the balance sheet date.
As the contract enters into its final decade, the condition of the building and facilities on hand-back has to be considered as “condition B” has to be achieved. The trustees are mindful of this when considering the reserves held.

NEWBURY & THATCHAM HOSPITAL BUILDING TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) REPORT OF THE CHARITY TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
RESERVES POLICY (continued)
The balance of restricted funds received from a charitable trust for facilitating works for the mammography and dexascanner suite amounted to £115,557 (2024: £118,029) at the balance sheet date. The donor has agreed that any fund left over can be put towards car park improvements.
Consequently the Trustees consider the current level of free reserves of £1 1,504,045 (2024: £10,550,916) appropriate to the Trust's current financial position.
INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE
The Charity's funds are held in interest bearing bank and building society accounts. Monies relating to contract sums under the PFl agreement are required to be retained within accounts held with the Funder. Non-contract sums, that are not anticipated to be required at short notice, are placed in time deposit accounts with British banks and building societies. During the year the trustees sought advice from Financial Advisors with regards to improving the investment returns beyond that available in high street accounts and leaving a legacy of funds available when the PFI contracts comes to an end in 2032. An initial 500k has been invested in a Quilter collective investment fund. Over the coming years consideration will be given to investing further funds as it becomes less likely they will be needed to support the hospital during the contract.
FUNDRAISING
The Charity does not engage in large scale fundraising activities like mass mailing campaigns and does not employ a professional fundraiser nor engage the services of third-party organisations to help raise funds, and therefore have not considered it necessary to sign up to any regulatory code of fundraising practice. No complaints have been received during the year about any aspect of the fundraising and consideration is always given to privacy and diplomacy to ensure approaches for fundraising are appropriate.
FUTURE PLANS
The primary objective for the future of the Charity is to continue to provide first class accommodation, facilities and equipment at the West Berkshire Community Hospital for the treatment of people referred for hospital treatment.
During the coming year we seek to:
-
e Support the completion of the new MRI building.
-
e Support the re-organisation of the Management Suite to better meet the needs of BHFT and RBH.
-
¢ Support Bellrock in completing Render works through the Lifecycle fund.
-
¢ Continue to support the Contract Review Group in preparation for handback of the hospital in 2032.
-
e Progress the improvement works to the staff car park, which is currently awaiting planning permission.
-
e Beyond that we plan to start consideration of improvement works to the visitor car park.

Governing Body The current Trustees have the power to appoint new Trustees who are chosen on the basis of their potential contribution to the Charity and the professional skills which are required to assist in the management of the Charity.
When an opportunity arises for a new Trustee, the existing Trustees draw up a short list of suitable candidates from the local community. These candidates are then invited to attend a Trustees meeting. Successful candidates will then be invited to become Trustees.

NEWBURY & THATCHAM HOSPITAL BUILDING TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) REPORT OF THE CHARITY TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
Organisational management
The management of the Charity is undertaken by the Trustees who receive information from an outsourced finance and administration team that is responsible for the co-ordination of the financial and non-medical running of the hospital and which owes a duty of care to the Trustees. Actions arising from these reports are discussed at Trustees meetings and an individual Trustee will be delegated with the task of dealing with that issue and reporting progress to the Trustees. Any urgent issues are reported to the Trustees as they arise and where necessary the finance and administration team will be instructed on the course of action to be undertaken or the Trustees will take action themselves. Communication between meetings is generally by e-mail.
The Trustees consider that they comprise the key management. As they are-not remunerated for their services there are no arrangements for setting the pay and remuneration of key management.
Organisation structure and relationships
The Newbury and Thatcham Hospital Building Trust Limited is a stand-alone Charity funded by the West Berkshire Clinical Commissioning Group (previously regional Primary Care Trust (PCT)) through Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, which provides funds for the non-medical running of the hospital. The PCTs were abolished on 31 March 2013 and the responsibility for the hospital passed to Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (BHFT). The Trustees outsource the majority of the day to day administration and the maintaining of the financial records to a third-party finance and administration team. The Trustees employ a Facilities Management Company to run the non-medical aspects of the hospital, including maintenance of the building.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Charity works closely with the Facilities Management Company to ensure areas of risk are identified and documented. All risks in relation to medical activities are the responsibility of BHFT. The main risks that the Trustees have identified and the actions they have taken to mitigate them are as follows:
-
° Financial problems of the Facilities Management Company causing it to default on the contract. The Trustees ensure that they hold sufficient funds to run the non-medical aspects of the hospital for six months to enable an orderly appointment of a new provider.
-
° Trustee age profile. The Trustees are keeping the composition of the board under review to ensure there is a succession plan.
-
° Failure of a counterparty with whom the Charity's reserves are invested. This risk is mitigated by spreading reserves amongst at least three separate counterparties and by taking professional financial investment advice.
-
° Royal Berkshire Hospital Foundation Trust becomes insolvent and cannot afford to run the services. There is little the Trustees can do to manage this risk beyond keeping in contact with the Clinical Commissioning Groups who would have to appoint a new provider of services.
The Trustees continue to review their risk response on an annual basis.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees (who are also Directors of Newbury & Thatcham Hospital Building Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements uniess they are satisfied that they give a true and fair viewofthe state of affairs of the charitable and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
e select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
e observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
e make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
e state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions, disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act and the provisions of the Charity's constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Provision of information to auditors
So far as the Trustees are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware. The Trustees have each taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as Trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable company's auditors are aware of that information.
In preparing this report, the Trustees have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by the Companies Act 2006. Approved by the Board on 2A | u |202 lo and signed on its behalf by:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NEWBURY & THATCHAM HOSPITAL BUILDING TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Newbury & Thatcham Hospital Building Trust (the charitable company) for the year ended 30 September 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
e give a true and fair view of the state of the Charitable Company's affairs as at 30 September 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustee's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the trustees annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly statedin our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Page 8
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NEWBURY & THATCHAM HOSPITAL BUILDING TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) a Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
-
In our opinion based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit
-
e the information given in the Trustees' Annual Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
e the Trustees’ Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charitable Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
e the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
e certain disclosures of Trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
¢ wehave not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
-
e the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies’ exemption in preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
Responsibilities of the Trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement set out on page 7, the trustees (who are also the directors of the Newbury & Thatcham Hospital Building Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of a trustees’ annual report and financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
in preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
De ee eee Page 9
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NEWBURY & THATCHAM HOSPITAL BUILDING TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) a—
We have considered:
-
the nature of the charity and sector, control environment and operating performance;
-
e the charity's own assessment, including assessments made by key management, of the risks that irregularities may occur either as a result of fraud or error;
-
e any matters we identified having reviewed the charity's policies and procedures relating to: © identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowiedge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; and
-
the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-
the matters discussed amongst the audit engagement team.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud in the areas in which management is required to exercise significant judgement, such as the recognition of income and provisions. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act, Charities Act and tax legislation.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, amission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report : This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or forthe opinions we have formed.

NEWBURY & THATCHAM HOSPITAL BUILDING TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
- CHARITY INFORMATION
The principal activity of the Charity is the provision and servicing of hospital buildings, facilities and equipment for the treatment of people referred for hospital treatment at the West Berkshire Community Hospital. The Charity (registered number 3420143 and Charity number 1067608) is incorporated and domiciled in the UK. The address of the principal place of business is West Berkshire Community Hospital, Rooke’s Way, Benham Hill, Thatcham, Berkshire, RG18 3AS.
The functional and presentational currency of the Charity is GBP, and the accounts are rounded to the nearest GBP.
- ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Basis of preparation
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) (effective 1 January 2019) -— Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Newbury & Thatcham Hospital Building Trust 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 note.
b) Going Concern
Having reviewed the funding facilities available to the Charity together with the expected on going demand for services and the Charity's future projected cash flows, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue its activities for the foreseeable future.
Having regard to the above, the Trustees believe it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements
c) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Charity's accounting policies, which are described in note 2, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimation and underlying 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 on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of revision and future periods if the revision affects the current and future periods.
Page 14
NEWBURY & THATCHAM HOSPITAL BUILDING TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
In the view of the Trustees, the key source of estimation uncertainty that has a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements is that of the Life Cycle and Maintenance provision. The discount rate used is in line with gilt rates for the same period as the provision.
d) Financial Instruments
Basic financial instruments include debtors and creditors. Debtors and creditors are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. Note 16 provides more information on financial instruments where future cash flows are anticipated, with financial assets referring to cash, debtor balances excluding prepayments and financial liabilities referring to all creditor balances excluding other taxes and social security.
e} income
Voluntary income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the Charity is legally entitled to the income, receipt is probable, and the amount can be quantified with reasonable certainty. For legacies, entitlement is considered established once the Charity has been notified of an impending distribution.
All other income is accounted for on an accruals basis.
f) Expenditure
All resources expended are accounted for on an accruals basis. Charitable activities include costs of services, support costs and governance costs (costs associated with constitutional and statutory requirements).
In previous years Governance costs (costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, the independent examiner fees and costs in respect of the strategic management of the Charity) were shown separately in the Statement of Financial Activities. To comply with Charities SORP (FRS 102) Governance costs have been included within charitable activities as an element of other support costs.
g) Taxation
The Trust is a registered Charity. Under S505 ICTA 1988 the Charity is not subject to taxation on its charitable activities. h) Fund accounting

NEWBURY & THATCHAM HOSPITAL BUILDING TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025
- ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
i)
Accounting for the Hospital Facility Management Contract
The hospital was built and is operated under a PFI contract, which on completion of the build transferred substantially all the risks and rewards associated with ownership of the building to the Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (BHFT) - in exchange for finance receivable.
Due to the PFI Contract the revenue received from the BHFT, in relation to the operation and facility management of the hospital. is recognised as a fixed income stream as dictated by the Financial Model. The Financial Model sets out the revenues required by projecting the expected future costs for the operation of the hospital.
The finance receivable revenues received from the BHFT are apportioned between;
- e Capital repayment e Finance receivable e¢ Pravision of hospital services
Finance receivable is allocated on a decreasing sum of digits basis over the life of the contract and is included in the Provision of Hospital Services.
j) Investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recorded at their transaction value and subsequently valued at closing mid-market value at the Balance Sheet date. Any gain or loss on revaluation is taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.
k) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due.
1) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised when the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
The Life Cycle and Maintenance provision has been recognised in the accounts relating to an obligation under the terms of the contract to ensure that the buildings and certain assets are maintained to a suitable standard. This provision reflects the balance held, plus amounts to be transferred into, the Life Cycle Bank Account, which holds funds relating to this obligation.
m)} Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value
