**Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited** Trustee Directors’ Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

The Trustee Directors (“Trustees”) present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity’s governing document, applicable law and the requirement of 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **References and Administrative Details** 

Administrative information is given in a separate section at the front of these accounts. 

## **Structure Governance and Management** 

The Fly Navy Heritage Trust was registered with the Charity Commission and is constituted and regulated by a Declaration of Trust dated 16 July 1991. In December 2006 the Trust transferred its assets and undertakings, in accordance with the incorporation agreement dated 31 December 2006, to the Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited. This company, limited by guarantee, (company registration number 05971284) was incorporated on 18 October 2006; it is registered with the Charity Commission (charity registration number 01117272). In accordance with the governing document, the current trustees may appoint additional trustees and have absolute discretion and unrestricted powers to invest trust monies. Trustees may serve for up to three years before requiring re-appointment. 

## **Induction and training of trustees** 

New Trustees are inducted and trained using information obtained from various sources, including the Charity Commission, attendance as required at specialist courses and by personal briefings. 

## **Organisational structure** 

A full list of trustees and directors (all trustees are also directors of the company) who have served since 31 December 2020 is shown on page 1. The Trustees meet at least three times a year to discuss and review the current and future position of the Charity. The Charity occupies office space within MOD owned buildings within RNAS Yeovilton and now, in accordance with the Trustees’ directive to increase the fundraising capacity of the charity, employs 17 staff members. 

## **Related parties** 

Naval Aviation Limited (NA Ltd) (company registration number 07052646) is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Charity and exists as the trading operation of the Charity. Activities include sales of aircraft displays, sales of souvenir merchandise and the operation of the Chipmunk Mk 22 (G-CNVH). 

## **Key management personnel** 

Remuneration for key management personnel is set by a Remuneration Committee comprising the Trust Chairman, Deputy Chairman and the Financial Trustee (an accountant). In setting salary levels, market comparators for similar roles within the charities sector are taken into consideration. There is also the need to ensure that key posts are attractive to personnel having the detailed knowledge, experience and skills demanded of both the charity and directing an aircraft operating company.

**Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited** Trustee Directors’ Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees routinely assess the risks to which the Charity is exposed to ensure that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure in these areas. A Risk Register is held in the Charity’s Business Plan and is reviewed at Management Group level and at each Trustees’ meeting. Risk mitigation actions are included as part of the charity’s annual Work Plan. 

## **Objectives** 

The Charity’s objectives are set out in the Memorandum of Association as follows: 

- To educate members of the Royal Navy and the public in the history, traditions and exploits of the Fleet Air Arm and the history of Royal Navy aviation generally. 

- To provide a memorial and tribute to the men and women who have flown, maintained or contributed in any way to the operation of aircraft within the fleet. 

- To advance the effectiveness of the armed forces of the Crown by promoting the efficiency of aviation in the Royal Navy. 

This can be summed up as: To Educate, Inspire and Remember; this is articulated as a single aim as follows: Inspiring future generations by bringing together the aircraft, people and the story of flying from ships. 

## **Activities** 

The Chief Executive Officer, Commodore Jock Alexander, joined the Trust in February 2016, following which the Charity was re-branded as ‘Navy Wings’ in July of the same year.  The aim remains to reach as wide an audience as possible with a refreshed look, supported by a continually evolving web-site and a wide collection of aircraft. The core flight consists of the ex-Royal Navy Historic Flight (RNHF) aircraft, most of which have now been gifted to FNHT, along with some new aircraft the Trust has purchased in 2021.  This is supported by an Associate Collection, which reaches out to individuals in the UK who operate their own, vintage naval aircraft and invites them to join the Navy Wings Associate Collection. This has been a huge success and there are now 20 aircraft as part of that collection, ranging from a WW1 Bristol Scout, through to a Sea King helicopter from the 1990’s. Importantly, the Trust does not raise money for the Associates, but rather they join a club of like-minded people which enable Navy Wings to tell a more comprehensive story about our heritage. 

The bulk of management activity in 2021 was spent dealing with concomitant actions arising from Covid 19, which continued to wreak havoc amongst organised events.  Almost all major fund-raising activities and large Air Shows were cancelled, however, we managed to attend a few smaller shows and organise two fundraising events as described below.  Most of the ex RNHF aircraft are now owned by the Trust, with the exception of Swordfish LS 326, which is expected to be gifted to us in early 2022. 

The Memorandum of Understanding agreed with the Royal Navy, has been refreshed and will continue to under-pin our business for the foreseeable future. We are currently planning to have full participation of the Navy Wings Heritage Flight on the display circuit in 2022, although the full list of available Air Shows is still being finalised.

**Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited** Trustee Directors’ Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

In 2021, the Trust continued to feel the impact of Covid 19, but the award of a Grant of £280,400 from the Culture Recovery Fund (CRF) in Oct 2020 enabled us to cover staff costs through to April 2021 and thus recover everyone from furlough. The Trust also benefitted from a significant private donation to the tune of £1.25M, with the same sum guaranteed for the next three years. The stability of having £5M over four years has allowed us to not only purchase our own T6 Harvard training aircraft and Wasp helicopter, but also to invest in a long term plan for engine availability and, importantly, to invest in a properly constituted engineering work-force of six personnel. This enabled us to apply to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for permission to do our own engineering maintenance and we now hold all the required licenses to do so. 

In a major development, our Sea Fury T20 was lost in an accident on Wednesday 28 April 2021.  Both the crew escaped with minor injuries and the aircraft was subsequently written off by the insurance company, which culminated in a settlement of £1M for the Trust. Following much debate, we then had an offer from a private individual to fund the purchase of an operational Seafire with a spare engine to replace the Sea Fury. This led to the purchase of a Seafire Mk XVII, which was delivered to our base just before Christmas 2021 and the purchase of a spare engine, which should be ready in about two years post refurbishment. 

Our weekly lottery, which we launched in May 2020, continues to build well and we are now aiming for an income stream of circa £200K by the end of Yr 5. Meanwhile, our continued investment in on-line presence continues to pay dividends and our retail sales finished the year ahead of budget, which already had 10% growth built in from the previous year. We managed to run two fund-raising events in the form of a Corporate dinner in London and a Clay Pigeon shoot at the Royal Berks Shooting Ground, both of which returned a healthy profit and more importantly, made the point that we were back in business post Covid restrictions. 

## **Volunteers and Sponsorship** 

The Trust and Naval Aviation Ltd, together trading as ‘Navy Wings’, continues with its well established Volunteering Policy, which concentrates on a critical nucleus who provide the core of this support. This network of volunteers is drawn from the Navy Wings Supporter base who provide their time free in order to promote, develop and support various activities that aim to deliver required funds to continue operation. Volunteer support is invaluable and is particularly useful in sales of merchandise and aircraft support operations. The latter encompasses aircraft stores, documentation and admin support alongside supervised aircraft mechanical engineering tasks. All volunteers receive induction and training and, as necessary, health and safety briefings and workplace clothing. In addition, we have a small team of high profile Supporters who volunteer to promote ‘Navy Wings’ and the heritage aircraft as ‘Ambassadors’. 

## **Corporate Support** 

The Trust continues to enjoy support from some key players in industry, not only from a financial perspective, but also from their knowledge of the aviation industry and in particular, heritage aircraft.  We reviewed our Corporate packages for support last year and we have already seen good take-up with some new companies coming on board. Our Corporate dinner in September was a huge success, with all tables selling out ahead of the event and our aim to make this the ‘go to’ heritage aviation dinner is starting to be realised; this bodes well for 2022.

**Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited** Trustee Directors’ Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

## **Grant making policy to Naval Aviation Ltd (NAL)** 

The Trustees consider the needs of our sole beneficiary (NAL) to ensure that all support is provided in accordance with the objects of the charity.  As part of the overall business planning for Navy Wings and NAL, the intention and plans are for Naval Aviation Ltd to trade towards being profitable, where the key drivers will be the diversification and growth of income streams, as well as generating income from aircraft.  As alluded to above, NAL was not able to conduct much display flying in 2021, with all the large shows being cancelled, however, we did attend a few smaller, local shows with the aim being to demonstrate that we had survived lock-down and were back in business.  Sales of merchandise would undoubtedly have been greater had we had our normal ground presence at air shows and we look forward to engaging with the public again in 2022. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

The main achievement of the Charity was to attract two High Net-worth investors, which has fundamentally changed our plans for the future through a four-year investment plan and the donation of a Seafire.  We conducted minimal display flying in 2021, but we did manage to get all our pilots trained, whilst attending several local events.  Our financial achievements are covered separately, but to summarise, we unquestionably finished the year in an excellent position, both financially and with a work-force properly constituted to take us forward.  The future is bright. 

## **Reserves policy** 

Despite significant funding agreed in the next few years, the Trustees’ policy is to retain funds in excess of the current needs to meet unanticipated expenditure which is an inherent feature of maintaining historic aircraft. In addition, Trustees continue to ensure that available free reserves are adequate to cover in excess of 3 months operating costs of £303,526. At 31st December 2021 the group held £1,565,466 of free reserves and excess reserves to provide future funding for aircraft. 

## **Review of financial position** 

From a financial point of view, 2021, as explained above was a successful year financially as a result of the significant donations received in the year. Significant funding levels have importantly been secured for the next few years to provide sustainability to aid in the success in the trusts’ long term future. 

Total consolidated income included £2,681,706 of restricted income (31.5%) and £5,837,403 of unrestricted income (68.5%). Restricted income has increased as a result of the Culture Recovery fund received, Royal Navy transitional funding relating to the transfer of the aircraft (which were mentioned above) as well as the significant donation received of £2m to purchase the Seafire aircraft shortly after the year end. 

NA Ltd retail sales (covering merchandising and aircraft displays) provided £132,170 of income. As mentioned above, merchandise sales finished ahead of budget. As previously stated, only a very small number of shows were able to be attended in the year. The other major source of income during the year was the receipt of £1m from insurance income following the accident during the year. 

As a result of the additional aircraft now under the groups ownership and the employment of staff, expenditure has increased to £2,076,815 (2020: £882,882). 

The Group held £2,000,000 of restricted funds at the year end and £4,819,118 in unrestricted funds. Cash and short term investments totalled £1,223,110 at 31 December 2021 compared with £199,304 at the previous year end. Capital expenditure of £235,519 was made in the year. The other capital additions relate to the £2.9m of donated aircraft.

**Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited** Trustee Directors’ Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

## **Plans for future periods** 

The Charity has clearly had to review its ten-year rolling plan based on the effects of Covid, but more importantly for us, the injection of new cash in the form of four capital investment and the additional purchase of a Seafire. The Business Plan is being reviewed yet again to reflect this, which will be under-pinned by a new Risk Register.  Although the short-term pressure to raise money has been removed, we are still planning to double our income within the next five years and the new weekly Lottery is already proving to be a success as a future income stream. The Trust continues to plan for a sustainable programme and anticipates eventually operating a core flying fleet of one Swordfish, one Seafire, the Wasp helicopter and one jet (Seahawk) on an annual basis. 

## **Impact of Covid-19 and going concern** 

In light of the impact of Covid-19 the trustees have given careful consideration to the cashflow forecasts of the charity covering the period of at least twelve months from the date of signing the accounts. The trustees are satisfied that the charity has sufficient working capital resources in place over that period, and therefore the accounts are drawn up on the going concern basis. 

## **Auditors** 

The auditors, Albert Goodman LLP are deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Small company provisions** 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.

**Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited** Independent Auditors' Report to the Trustees and Members For the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of the Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited for the year ended 31 December 2021, which comprise the consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the consolidated and parent charitable company Balance Sheets, the consolidated and parent charitable company 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 Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 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: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 December 2021, and of the group’s 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 group and parent 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 original financial statements were 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

____________________________________________________________________________ 

Page  8 



**Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited** Independent Auditors' Report to the Trustees and Members For the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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. 

## **Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the Trustee Directors’ Report, which includes the Directors' Report prepared for the purposes of company law for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the Directors' Report included within the Trustee Directors’ Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors’ Report included within the Trustee Directors’ 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 by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the Trustees’ Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities (set out on page 7), the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the 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 group and parent 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 parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

**Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited** Independent Auditors' Report to the Trustees and Members For the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

## **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. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of Independent Auditors. 

## **The extend to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud** 

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: 

- the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. 

- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the charity and aviation sector. 

- We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, Charity SORP, Aviation law, data protection, anti-bribery, employment and health and safety legislation. 

- We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries with management. 

- Identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur by: 

- Making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud: and 

- Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations 

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: 

- Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; 

- Tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; 

- Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and 

- Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. 

____________________________________________________________________________ 

Page  10 



**Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited** Independent Auditors' Report to the Trustees and Members For the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to; 

- Agreeing financial statements disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; 

- Reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; 

- Enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims. 

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of noncompliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. 

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involved deliberate concealment or collusion. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.grc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the group and parent 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 group and parent charitable company’s members and trustees 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 group and parent charitable company and the group and parent charitable company’s members as a body and the parent charitable company’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed

**Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited** Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## 1.1 **Basis of accounting** 

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. 

Fly Navy Heritage Trust 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 note(s) and all amounts are presented in £ sterling. 

These financial statements consolidate the results of the Charity and its wholly owned subsidiary, Naval Aviation Limited, on a line by line basis. The “Group” heading within the balance sheet refers to the consolidated accounts of the Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited and Naval Aviation Limited. 

In the parent company financial statements the investment in the trading subsidiary is accounted for at cost less impairment. 

A separate Statement of Financial Activities or income and expenditure account, for the Charity itself has not been presented because the Charity has taken advantage of the exemptions afforded by Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. 

There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees have considered the implication of the Covid-19 pandemic on the operations of the charity. Grant and donation income has been received that is sufficient to cover the temporary reductions in fundraising and trading income. Taking into account all reasonable circumstances, the trustees believe that the charity remains a going concern and no adjustments to the accounts are necessary. 

## 1.2 **Legal status of the Trust** 

The Trust is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. 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. 

The company is incorporated in England and Wales and the company registered office is detailed on page 1, reference and administration details. 

## 1.3 

## **Income** 

Income from grants and donations is recognised in the year in which they are receivable when there is evidence of entitlement, receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured. 

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. 

Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. 

____________________________________________________________________________ 

Page  16 



**Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited** Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

Income from other trading income is included in the period in which the group is entitled to receipt, it is probable that economic benefits will flow to the entity and the amount can be reliably measured. 

## 1.4 

## **Donated goods and services** 

Donated services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. 

On receipt, donated services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. Income is recognised within grants, donations and legacies and expenditure within costs of raising funds and charitable activities. 

## 1.5 

## **Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. 

## 1.6 **Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT** 

Resources expended are recognised on the accruals basis to match the period in which the expenditure was incurred. 

Costs of raising funds are expenditure incurred in generating the trading subsidiary funds and in generating the charity fundraising event income funds. 

Charitable activities expenditure comprises costs incurred in by the charity in the delivery of its charitable purposes for beneficiaries including grants payable to other institutions. 

Grants payable are at the discretion of the Trustees. They are in furtherance of the charity’s objects, to support and promote the efficiency of aviation in the Royal Navy and to educate the members of the public in the history, traditions and exploits of the Fleet Air Arm and the history of Royal Naval Aviation. 

## 1.7 **Operating leases** 

Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. 

## 1.8 **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. 

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the Trust’s work or for specific artistic projects being undertaken by the Trust.

**Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited** Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

## 1.9 **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Aircraft are initially recorded at cost and are then revalued at the year end. The Trustees review the assets for impairment each year. Donated aircraft are brought in at fair value. 

Computer equipment is stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows: 

Plant and machinery 3 years straight line Office equipment 3 years straight line Computer equipment 33% reducing balance 

Aircraft are not depreciated. The aircraft are continuously maintained and repaired and as a result of this, the directors have considered that they do not depreciate. The aircraft are reviewed for impairment each year. 

## 1.10 **Investments** 

Investments in equity shares which are publicly traded or where the fair value can be measured reliably are initially measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment. 

- 1.11 **Stock** 

Stock consists of merchandise for resale and is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. 

## 1.11 **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. 

## 1.12 **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. 

## 1.13 **Creditors** 

Creditors 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 are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## 1.14 **Defined contribution pension** 

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as staff pension expense through the profit and loss when they are due.

**Fly Navy Heritage Trust Limited** Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2021 

## 1.15 **Taxation** 

As a registered charity, the company is not liable to corporation tax or capital gains tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities. The charity subsidiary is able to recover Value Added Tax and therefore it is not included within the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## 1.16 **Financial instruments** 

The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined by FRS 102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the company are as follows; 

Financial assets – trade and other debtors, accrued income, amounts owed by group undertakings and other debtors are basic financial instruments, and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments. 

Cash at bank – classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value. 

Financial liabilities – trade creditors, amounts owed to group undertakings, bank loans, accrued expenses and other creditors are financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost. Taxation and social security and corporation tax creditors are not included in the financial instruments disclosure definition.

## **Unrestricted funds** 

The Trustees had designated funds of £200k in 2017 towards the retention of an engineer and storeman for the Sea Vixen with a view to ensuring that should the parts come available there could be the possibility that the Sea Vixen will get back to flying status. The amount designated has been brought back into general unrestricted this repair work is now unlikely to happen. The revaluation reserve is the difference between the fair value and original cost of the aircraft. 

## **Restricted funds** 

- The Swordfish W5856 fund represents monies received from HM Treasury’s LIBOR Fines Fund specifically for the provision of onward funding to the Royal Navy Historic Flight for the essential maintenance, repair and operation of Swordfish W5856. 

- Transitional funds relates to income received for the maintenance of aircraft transferred to the charity. The transfer of funds relates to transitional funds used to purchase fixed assets. 

- The funds received from the Culture recovery fund were to cover overhead costs to support the charity through the pandemic. 

- The Seafire fund represents monies received from a donation for the purchase and upkeep of a new Seafire aircraft. 

- The Sea Vixen fund represents monies received from a donation towards the upkeep of the aircraft.
