## **Structure, governance and management**
Company and charity 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 charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees have:
- selected suitable accounting policies and then applied them consistently;
- made judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- stated whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material
- departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis.
The trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the charity has appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.
The charity has clear objectives, priorities and plans. It pays close attention to performance and customer satisfaction so as to maintain high operational standards. Through its timely and accurate monitoring and reporting, financial risk is kept to a minimum. Communication with its supporters and beneficiaries means the charity can reduce its environmental and external risk. At all times the charity will comply with relevant laws and Acts.
## **Objectives and Activities**
To promote for the benefit of the inhabitants of the East area of the City of Nottingham and surrounding areas, in particular young persons, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political religious or other opinions, by association together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and training, and to provide facilities in the interest of social welfare for recreation and other leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.

## **Chairperson's Report for the 1st September 2020 to 31st August 2021**
It is difficult to know where to start with this report as this financial year has been the most challengin year the Trust has ever had to face. Clearly Covid has been the main driver of these challenges, due in part, to the extra health and safety requirements and the stop/start nature of when the Wildcats Arena could fully re-open. Although elite sport was allowed to continue, mostly without spectators, the Arena did not become fully operational until 19th July 2021. Despite the uncertainty around lockdowns continuing throughout most of the financial year, perhaps the biggest challenge the Trust will face will be the re-engaging of pre Covid users and attracting them back into the Arena. The outcome of this will not be known until well into the next accounting period.
Despite all the issues the Trust encountered our financial position looks to be reasonably healthy, hasn’t this is mainly due to various Government schemes, grants and a ‘Bounce Back Loan’ which the Trust used, but has decided to keep as it has favourable interest rates attached.
The retention of staff was deemed a priority by the Trust and thanks to the staff’s hard work and flexibility in their work routine, plus the furlough scheme, this has so far been achieved. The Trust however did make a change to the Arena staffing structure during this period, which will become fully operational during the next accounting period. With the current Assistant Arena Manager leaving the employment of the Trust, to take up another job within basketball, a review of the staffing structure concluded an additional Assistant Arena Manager post would be beneficial to the operation of the Arena. This would enable a management level staff member to be on duty whenever the Arena is open, hopefully providing an increased level of service to users and subsequently attracting more users. Although this has initially added an additional cost to the salaries budget; through economies elsewhere in the budget and the projected increase in usage, this will not be financially detrimental in the longer term.
The £75,000 of funding obtained (this is not shown in the accounts) to cover the cost of the installing of a wood floor on the third basketball court has yet to be spent. Again, Covid restrictions are responsible for the delays as contractors have not been able to work.
The ever-increasing success of the Nottingham Academy Wildcats Perform Basketball programme ha led to student athletes applying to enter the Nottingham Academy’s sixth form from around the country. This has not only helped to increase the standard of the basketball but also the overall academic attainment in the Nottingham Academy sixth form.
On the playing side of the programme, the U19s girls’ team were favourites to be crowned the overall champions of the WEABL (the highest school’s competition in England) but again Covid intervened causing the play-offs to be cancelled.
The NAW programme also supports Year 12 & 13 students in their applications to Universities and Colleges,which has again been disrupted, but the process continues to be an important part of the Perform programme. Student athletes using their sporting ability, allied to good academic grades, can

gain access to freeeducation at American colleges via sports scholarships. This is also possible at some UK universities although the level of financial support does not match that in America. The American route has become very attractive with student athletes being part of an athletics programme, which other UK universities although the level of financial support does not match that in America. The American route has become very attractive with student athletes being part of an athletics programme, which other than personal payment to the student, is a professional programme. Plus finishing their four-year degre course debt free.
At the end of this academic year four players from the NAW obtained basketball scholarships in American colleges and there will leave in August to pursue their basketball dreams on the other ‘side of the pond’. Considering the problems all students have faced over the last year it is a remarkable achievement and this along with the excellent academic results achieved by all NAW student athletes vindicates the emphasis placed on academic study by all staff members.
Prior to the pandemic the Trust, through NAW, were building a substantial participation development programme in local schools, which for girls fed into the Wildcats and for boys into the Nottingham Hoods. Progress was sufficient for a full-time post to be created to commence in September 2020 to develop the programme further. However, this came to an abrupt halt with school closures and then when they did return the requirement to limit the number of outside contacts, to help suppress the spread of the virus. The Trust hope to reinstate this initiative and the post when schools return to ‘normal’.
At the Wildcats club level, it has almost been a season that has gone missing. With no age group competition available it was left to the women’s WBBL professional team to fly the Wildcats’ flag. Th was again challenging as spectators were not allowed at matches and the loss of income put a severe strain on the budget. Games were however livestreamed on the Wildcats’ YouTube channel achieving an average of over 800 views per game. This is something the Trust will look to build on in future seasons and could lead to additional income through advertising revenue.
The league campaign saw the team make the end of season play-offs with a fourth-place finish, eventually losing out to London Lions in the semi-final. In the WBBL Cup the team reached the final with high hopes of success. However, a serious knee injury to the Wildcats’ centre and season MVP candidate, in the first few minutes of the game, put paid to the Wildcats attempt to lift the trophy for the second time. The winners London Lions will be the team to beat in future seasons as their budget is set to surpass all other clubs with investment from an American capital management company.
This investment will undoubtable ‘skew the league’ for a while but it is up to the other clubs, includin the Wildcats to catch up. Something the Wildcats Trust have begun to do through a revised business

strategy which includes pursuing revenue streams outside of the income earned from the Arena.
Finally, the Trustees wish to thank everyone associated with the basketball programme, but especially the volunteers who give up their time and energy to coach, wash kit, drive mini-bus and everything in between. The Trust is gradually employing staff to take on roles within the basketball programme, but there will always be a significant role for the volunteers of the club. Without you none of it would be possible.
As with all successful organisations, it is the staff’s contribution that lays the foundation for that succe So,on behalf of the Board of Trustees, I wish to thank all the staff at the Nottingham Wildcats Arena and particularly the full-time staff members who do way beyond their contracted hours. The Arena also has an army of volunteers, who do any job that needs to be done and their contribution cannot be underestimated, when measuring the Arena’s success. Thank you one and all.

We report on the accounts For the year ended 31 August 2021 set out on pages 1 to 19.
This report is made solely to the company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since the company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies.

the accounts do not accord with those records; or
2. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006

4. Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

## **Notes to the Accounts**
## 1) **Accounting policies**
## (a) **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments, land and buildings which are included at market value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard (the FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)
The statement of financial activities (SOFA) and balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.
The charity has availed itself of Paragraph 4 (1) of Schedule 1 of the small companies and groups regulations 2008 and adapted the Companies Act formats to reflect the special nature of the charity’s activities. No separate SOFA has been presented for the charity alone as permitted by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and paragraph 397 of the SORP.
## (b) **Company status**
The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.

## **Notes on the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 August 2021**
## **Continued……..**
## (d) **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received.
Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.
## (e)
## **Resources expended**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Premises overheads have been allocated on a floor area basis and other overheads have been allocated on the basis of the head count.
Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Management and administration costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
## (f) **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows:
|Freehold land|unlimited|
|---|---|
|Leasehold buildings|over 50 years|
|Plant and equipment|over 5 years|
|Computers|over 3 years|

## 3) **Recognition of Liabilities**
Liabilities are recognised in accordance with the accruals concept. This is defined as the point where there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to expenditure. Where the final amount is known (or can be estimated with a reasonable degree of certainty) then a liability is accrued. If this is not possible a provision is created.
Specifically employee costs are recognised as a liability based upon hours worked.
Purchases from third parties are recognised once an order has been placed (as long as there is reasonable certainty that the order will be fulfilled).
The charity has not to date given out any grants.
## 4) **Resources expended**
The categories of costs included with the resources expended headings are defined below:
Costs of generating funds
- Purchase of drinks and confectionery for sale within the centre’s kitchen and vending machines
