Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors' Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 December 2020
Objectives and activities (continued)
Public Benefit
The trustees have complied with the duty under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on "Charities and Public Benefit" and uses this guidance to help with current and future activities.
Volunteers
The Trustees are grateful for the unstinting efforts of the members who volunteer in the activities of the charity. Members freely give their time, often unacknowledged, in many ways, whether facing the visitors in the café and shop, as drivers or conductors on free heritage rides or less visibly restoring or maintaining vehicles, cleaning the museum, maintaining the exhibits, producing Bus Lane, museum promotion or maintaining membership and archive records. The museum could not function without them.
Strategic report
The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.
Achievements and performance
The charity continued to run the museum throughout the year.
Performance
The comparison of the 2020 year's results with 2019 is virtually meaningless, because of the closure of the museum during 2020 because of the government Covid restrictions. However, Company Law and Charity Commission regulations require this inclusion in this report.
There were 2,181 visitors in 2020 (2019 - 7,295). Admission charges from visitors totalled £6,644 (2019 - £23,631). The 2020 planned programme of events during 2020 was mostly cancelled.
The shop and café are staffed whenever the museum is open by our dedicated volunteers. The shop takings for the year were £2,006 (2019 - £7,761). The café offered a good selection of food and drinks and contributed profits of £2,466 (2019 - £7,192) to the museum in the year.
Comments on our Visitors’ Surveys as well as in our Visitors' Book and on the internet continue to be positive about the museum and our helpful volunteers.
Work on the preparation of scripts and photographs for visitors' audio visual guides was disrupted by the Covid restrictions.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors' Report) (continued)
Year ended 31 December 2020
Achievements and performance (continued)
Restoration work in 2020
The directors have adopted a five year plan for restorations. For most of the year Covid restrictions curtailed restoration work.
A 1942 utility Bedford OWB (BBW 291), which was new to House of Watlington, was purchased in 2019 and its restoration is being undertaken offsite along with the museum's 1949 AEC Regent III (OFC 393).
In our workshop, work on the major restoration of the Leyland Atlantean PDR1 (NAC 416F) continued. The restoration of the 1916 Y type petrol bus concentrated on body work. The 1995 Volvo Plaxton Verde (N605 FJO) has been in the workshop throughout the year. Initially the intention was to carry out body repairs prior to repainting from the current yellow into its original livery, but it was discovered that the frame and part of the chassis were corroded, so a full restoration is under way.
The restoration of the museum's South Midland minibus (B106 XJO), with the objective of adding it to the running fleet, was delayed by the Covid restrictions. As a result, the directors' plan to start the restoration of the museum's 1979 Leyland Leopard (BBW 21V) in 2020 was not fulfilled. The Trustees hope that this restoration will commence in 2021.
The rebuild of our Morris 10 Series M (HON490) is nearing completion.
Financial review
Principal Funding Sources
Unrestricted income, being income received on continuing regular activities, for the year totalled £50,584 (2019 - £52,914) . This is comprised of donations for general purposes, membership fees, legacies, grant income, museum admissions, café income, investment income, solar panel income and gift aid. This year the unrestricted income exceeded the general expenditure by £248 (2019 deficit - £22,714).
The museum received Covid grants from the government of £27,000 (2019 - £nil). This is included in the unrestricted income above.
The Trustees review current and future funding needs on a regular basis.
Reserves Policy
The unrestricted reserves of the charity were £59,815 (2019 - £57,717). There were also designated funds ringfenced for Property totalling £190,407 (2019 - £201,257) and Historic Vehicles £52,597 (2019 - £43,597).
The charity also had restricted funds for specific projects, totalling £103,457 (2019 - £65,523).
Following a review by the Trustees of the reserves of the charity, it was concluded that to allow the charity to be managed efficiently and to provide a buffer against interruptions to cashflow, a general reserve of £10,000 cash at bank should be maintained in the unrestricted funds ("the free reserves") not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets. Our reserves meet this requirement at the present time.

Financial review (continued)
Excess Reserves
Additional funds currently held may be required for "matching funding" for current grant applications for proposed museum extensions and refurbishments and completing the restoration of buses. The level of reserves is regularly reviewed considering the number of buses undergoing and awaiting restoration.
Risk Management
The Trustees continue to carry out a detailed review of the charity's activities and produce a comprehensive strategic plan setting out the major opportunities available to the charity and the risks to which it is exposed. The charity has reviewed its principal risks and uncertainties and lists these to be:-
-
A sharp prolonged drop in income particularly donations, and numbers of members;
-
An exponential rise in costs; and
-
The withdrawal or reduction in charities relief for Business Rates.
The Trustees monitor progress against strategic objectives set out in the plan.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Oxford Bus Museum Trust Limited
Year ended 31 December 2020
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Oxford Bus Museum Trust Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).
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 the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the 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).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 December 2020
1. General Information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Old Station Yard, Main Road, Long Hanborough, Oxfordshire, OX29 8LA.
2. Statement of Compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting Policies
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. The reserves of the charity meet the requirement that has been set-out by the Trustees in their report, on page 4.
Creditors
Creditors and provisions are recognised where 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.
Disclosure exemptions
The charity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102:
(a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company.
(b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented.

3. Accounting Policies (continued)
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires trustees to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome.
Taxation
The Oxford Bus Museum Trust Limited is a registered charity and accordingly is exempt from taxation on its income and gains where they are applied for charitable purposes.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Volunteers
The value of the services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements. This is because the trustees do not consider that an accurate valuation can be made for such important services, contributions and hours donated by the volunteers over many years, therefore it is not possible to capitalise any costs.
Incoming resources
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations, memberships and grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the money, the receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
museum entry fees, shop sales and café sales are recognised when the entry or sale takes place.
-
other income includes income from the installed solar panels and the sale of workshop spares. The income is recognised when the receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably.

3. Accounting Policies (continued)
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on trading activities includes all costs incurred by the charity for the purchase of goods and supplies within the museum shop and café for resale.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by the charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Leasehold property - 5, 15, 20 or 50 years straight line Equipment - 5 years straight line
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

23. Analysis of Charitable Funds (continued)

The vehicles covered by these funds are: Bedford OB (1949), Leyland Atlantean (1967), OFC 393 and OFC 395, and Bedford OWB (1942). Details of each project have been set out below.
No work was done on the restoration of the Bedford OB and the balance held on 31 December
2020 was unchanged at £3,607.
Restoration work commenced on the Leyland Atlantean in 2013 and was ongoing. There was £296 spent during 2020 and the balance held on 31 December 2020 was £6,616 (2019 - £6,912).
A restoration fund was set up for the restoration of an OFC 393 and OFC 395 in 2019. There were restricted donations received in 2020 of £18,750 and expenditure of £996. The balance held on 31 December 2020 was £59,425 (2019 -£41,671).

A new restoration fund was set up in 2020 for the purchase and restoration of a pre-1950s bus thanks to significant donations of £8,250 received in the year. Due to Covid, no progress has yet been made with regard to purchasing a suitable bus and the balance was unspent at 31 December 2020.
There were also other grants received during the year:
There was a £2,000 grant received towards the upcoming Audio Guide project, which allowed for the purchase of a number of iPod devices to be utilised for the Audio Tour, at a cost of £2,528. The balance held on 31 December 2020 was £472 (2019 - £1,000).
When capital projects financed by restricted funds have been completed and the restrictions are at an end, the capital items are then transferred to unrestricted designated funds.
