## Trustees’ Report (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2020 

## 1. Objectives and Activities (Continued) 

- b. Summary of Objectives (continued) 

   - iii. The relief of those who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick and to relieve distress caused thereby in the United Kingdom or the world as the Directors may from time to time think fit; 

   - iv. Such other charitable objects and for the benefit of such other charitable bodies and institutions as the Directors shall in their absolute discretion see fit. 

- Cc. Strategies for achieving objectives 

All income for the Charity is derived from the charitable objectives and aims using the following strategies: 

i. Sales Performance Sales of CDs and Books continues to be managed by CLC Wholesalers through their Vineyard Worship branded website. One new physical CD were released this year - We Shine — Vineyard Kids, they send a portion of these sales through each month. 

ii. Publishing Performance The Trustees are pleased to report that the revenue from publishing and licensing royalties continues to form the majority 97.7% (2019 — 78.0%) of the income of the company. there however continues to be a decline in receipts during the past year, especially from the US, including licensing of UK songs. This years decline has been quite significant, however this is down to timing differences with new administration of royalties from Integrity. The Trustees are aware of this situation and we should see an increase this year, as we will have a full year under the new arrangement. With continual monitoring of the situation and new material being released in 2021 and our partnership with Integrity Music and their songwriters, it is hoped that the decline can be slowed down, however with the nature of royalty reporting it takes time for the flows of money to be received. We continue to work with Vineyard Worship USA on our joint new song delivery website VineyardSongs.com. 

- ii, Events For the furtherance of religious education of the wider Church, events were held throughout the year as follows: 

There were two planned events for the year, a National Worship Retreat in England and one in lreland, though now manged through Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland, these events were, however, cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

An offering was taken during the event, amounting to ENIL (2019 - £6,474) and is restricted to establishing a Youth Worship Academy.

## Vineyard Music (UK) Limited Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2020 

1. Accounting policies 

a) Statement of compliance Vineyard Music (UK) Ltd is a company limited by guarantee and registered as a charity in England/Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 9 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are set out in the Report of the Trustees on pages 2 to 10. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the 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 issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1. 

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

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. 

b) Incoming resources Charitable activities: Royalties — income from royalties is included in incoming resources in the period in which it is received. This is a departure from Financial Reporting Standards 102, Paragraph 23.29 which requires royalties to be | recognised on an accruals basis. Due to a lack of timely information it is not possible to reliably measure | royalty income not yet received. The trustees confirm that the accounts give a true and fair view. 

| 

Sales — sales are accounted for on an accruals basis. 

Investment- Interest earned on bank deposits. 

> Other— Employment reimbursement and commission sales from CLC Wholesalers. 

- c) Resources expended All expenditure is shown gross and is accounted for on an accruals basis. For accounting purposes expenditure is allocated as follows: 

Charitable expenditure — all direct charitable expenditure relates to the operation of the activities of the Charity.

## 1. Accounting policies (continued) 

## c) Resources expended (continued) Governance — costs relating to the general running of the Charity and governance infrastructure. 

Costs connected with the property, which the Charity used for its own occupation until 18 August 2017 are included in designated funds, all other outgoing resources are included in unrestricted funds. 

Support costs are not apportioned as the Trustees are of the opinion that the Charitable company only has a single charitable activity.

## d) Grant making policy 

- Grants are made in accordance with the Memorandum of Association to charitable organisations both in the UK and overseas for the furtherance of the kingdom, church planting and relief of those in conditions of need of hardship as the Trustees from time to time think fit. 

## e) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation 

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition, other than donated freehold land and buildings which is included at valuation at the date of the donation. The charitable company carries out annual impairment reviews where there is indication that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets other than land at rates calculated to write off the cost or revalued amount on a straight-line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows: 

Office equipment 4 years Fixtures and fittings 4 years Computer equipment 2 years 

- f) Key accounting estimates and assumptions Accounting estimates, by definition, will often vary from the actual results. They are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are deemed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The nature of the estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next year are addressed below. The carrying amount of the estimates and assumptions at the year-end are disclosed in the relevant note to the accounts. 

Useful economic lives of tangible assets: 

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets, which are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. 

Valuation of investment property: 

The investment property is held in the balance sheet at valuation. 

- g) Stock Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value The closing stock figure relates to the value of stock held on consignment with CLC Wholesalers. Sales of this stock is reported on a monthly basis. 

- h) Foreign currencies translation Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities are retranslated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.
