THE CINNAMON TRUST
TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT)
(CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Achievements and performance
The year to 31 March 2024 was again even busier than previous years helping over 157,000 people with their
beloved pets. We have 1,702 pets in forever foster homes and over 100 pets in each of the two specialist
sanctuaries in Cornwall and Devon.
Hillside Fami Sanctuary has 21 dogs, 33 cats. 8 sheep, 11 chickens, 1 rooster, 5 tortoises, 2 horses and the arrival
of 37 Racing Pigeons, totalling 118 pets. We have 108 residents at Poldarves Farm Sanctuary.. 18 dogs, 14 cats,
10 ponies, 2 squirrels, 3 tortoises. 1 pig. 1 cow, 12 sheep and 47 ducks. chickens, geese. finches, budgies and
doves. An increase to 7,772 pets who are registered for life-long care. These figures ne￿sSarilY rise and fall
during the course of the year with new animals requiring care and old friends coming to the end of their lives. The
representation here is taken on 31st March 2024.
Our veterinary fees to veterinary surgeons all over the UK increased to a massive £943,863 over the year, together
th the cost of animal feed at £124,391 and the costs of grooming. veterinary supplements and services to
£182,994. This is a massive rise, mainly due to the increased charges that veterinary surgeons demand for their
professional services. Atotal of over £1.25M
The Cinnamon Trust is still, the only major provider of services which not only enables owners and pets to enjoy
each other's company in spite of any difficulties that may arise for elderly and frail owners in essential day-to-day
care of their pets, but also ensures that owners have peace of mind and pets receive all the care they require for
their health and welfare. The marked increase in demand for, and provision of, our Se￿iceS is testament to not only
the need, but also the ability to respond. We handled 13.407 new cases in the year. Many continue from year to
year, for example there are over 15,000 dogs being walked each day by our volunteers and, most of these, for
years. Each dog walking case requires or three volunteers to ensure continuity of setvice and constancy, and
this in turn requires more members of staff to regulady keep in touch with both owners and volunteers to ensure all
is well and take remedial action if there are problems.
We have 488 young124 years and under) volunteers and by rejoining The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme in
202415 we hope to increase our young volunteers. All charities are struggling wth volunteer recruitment due to
financial constraints for many people in the UK, wth the cost of living cnsis. Our main driver for our 40th Anniversary
in 25126 will be to recruit further volunteers.
Our membership is 53,156 including 30 overseas members (From The Bahamas, to The Cayman Islands, France,
Hong Kong and The United States). We have kn Forever Fosterers in Canada and The United States.
We have 4498 Life Members, up almost 60A on previous year
There are 93 members of staff at 31 March 2024.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Our Pet Friendly Care Homes and Retirement complex register has been entrusted to Trusted Care who are
managing the register alongside their own catalogue of care homes. They offer our members a dedicated telephone
line for queries and are available on the phone 7 days a week.
As most of employment within Cornwall has been around the busy summer period, The Trust has often struggled
th staffing levels. By joining the Living Wage Foundation, we are now paying all staff and contractors over the
National Minimum Wage which wll in tum reduce the need to recruit and keep employees thereby saving in training
time and costs.
Payroll processing has been brought back in house. All managers have received Mental Health First Aid training
and ten staff members have become Mental Health Champions to help all staff wth any issues they may have. This
step initially reduced sick leave by 100A.
Work has started on a new CRM system which ￿ll11 help all staff allocate volunteers quicker to new Cases and will
also help with showing areas of recruitment for new volunteers prior to need. This will make us more prepared to
help people as soon as they request help rather than recruiting volunteers when demand is already required. This
system will allow us to use the Cloud and thereby reducing the cost on hardware as our current server is end of life.
Head Office Hayle
Following the rise in electricity prices, solar panels are now installed and proving successful providing 70 % of power
used within the office during the summer months. A noticeable decrease in what we are paying for electricity is
beginning to show in monthly bills. The carparking arrangements for staff is still a problem, but Home Bargains has
provided us with 6 spaces which the staff use on a rotational basis. Car parking spaces have also been provided in
the car park.
Hillside Sanctuary
A programme of repairs and renovations at Hillside started in the summer of 2023, together with the ￿mpletIon of
the Dog Rehabilitation Centre, named after one of our young supporters. Gethin, who passed away from Can￿r, but
wanted The Cinnamon Trust to benefit from his gift, so it seemed only right , that this new purpose built home
should be named after him.
Following the death of one of our members. we V￿re challenged wth building a Pigeon Loft for flocks of racing
pigeons, for them to live out their retirement in the Devon Countryside. Exira training for the staff was provided by a
local pigeon group and all pigeons are happily installed.
Changes had been made to the Horses stable, Field shelter and fields to allow better use of the land for both the
horses and the sheep, together wth a new StrawlHay store to reduce the cost of the purchase of feed and bedding.
Solar panels have been installed on the Cat house to help redu￿ the cost of electricity and work towards our
reduction on fossil fuels.
Hillside has 23 Members of stsff at 31 March 2024.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Poldarves Sanctuary
Plans for the new Cat Home have had to be put on hold following the passing of planning permission due to non-
availability of more electric power. Pemiission to get more power into Poldarves by National Grid meant pemiission
being granted by both sets of neighbouring land owners. INe are still waiting for pennission and indeed a solution.
An old storage shed has now been tumed into an outside toilet and the conversion of part of the old Cat House has
been made into a quiet room for staff {and pets)!
Poldarves has 25 Members of staff (Induding 2 on matemity leave) at 31 March 2024.
Plans for next year will include a new website to link into our new CRM system, new air-conditioning I heating for
Head offi￿, using the reduced power from the Solar panels to provide a better working environment. Change in
working hours for staff to increase efficiencies. Purchase a new Sanctuary in the West Midland area to service pets
from Wales and Northern England. whilst keeping in with daily travel for Head offi￿ Staff. Of course, this will be our
40th Anniversary in 2025, and our challenge will be to increase our volunteer family by 200k as well as increasing the
number of people who have heard about us.
Investment Objectives
The Trustees wish to invest the portfolio to provide a retum, that maintains the real (inflation adjusted) value of the

can include cash, bonds, equities, property, hedge funds etc. and any other asset that is deemed suitable for the

Financial review
For the year ended 31 March 2024, The Cinnamon Trust had an income of £8.352,04912023: £6,680,540) of which
£6,138,773 (2023:£5,091.2541 is derived from legacies. Total net incoming resources were £6.247,906 (2023:
£992,647). The improvement is largely due to improved investment perfomiance in the year.
The trend has been for legacy income to decline. This dependence on legacies, which are a source of income
dependent upon circumstances and beyond the control of the charity. make it extremely difficult to budget for
anticipated legacy income and reseprfes need to be maintained to cover any future reduction in revenues. Further,
these resources stand the charity in good stead in a very uncertain economic climate and are readily available to
meet anticipated cash flow requirements.
Reserves policy
The Trust currently has unrestricted funds of £56,734.807 (2023: £50,331,418). This includes tangible and
intangible fixed assets of £3,164.271 (2023: £2.575.969). therefore leaving a free reserves balance of £53,570,536
(2023: £47,775,449). It is the Trustees, policy to retain three years. running costs in reserve 1£14,215,065, 2013:
£11,863,986). Current levels of reserves are higher than the multiple of recent expenditure but stand The Trust in
good stead in very unpredictable times on all fronts.
The Trust reviewed its reserves policy in May 2024 and decided that effective 31 March 2024 designated funds
be recognised in the annual accounts of the Charity. A designated fund is created when the Board of Trustees
decides to set aside an amount from unrestncted fijnds for a particular purpose.

THE CINNAMON TRUST
TRUSTEES. REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS. REPORT AND STRATEGIC REPORT)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The Cinnamon Promise Designated Fund
The Cinnamon Trust has estimated the future cost of our promise to the previous owners to take care of the pets
currently in our care for the temi of their natural lives. This has considered current costs and average lifespan of
different pets {increased to reflect our experience that pets live longer than average with the care we provide). and
has created a designated fvnd to reflect this commitment.
The Cinnamon Trust is unique. Vvhen it takes on responsibility for a pet it takes on and retains ownership of the pet.
We promise to the previous owner (a person over 65 or with a temiinal illness) who relinquishes ownership of their
beloved pet to us is that we will continue to look after and love their pet for the rest of its natural life. Some of our
pets have long natural lives {eg tortoises and ponies). For pets that are found foster families, we do our utmost to
find the perfect match of foster family and pet. We also stay in touch with foster families and ensure the pet receives
a safe and loving home. We have responsibility for all vet bills so we can be sure these pets get the best possible
medical care. For Ihose pets we accept into our care which we do not think are suitable for foster family placement,
we take them into our sanctuaries. Our sanctuaries are like a home away from home.
We take this promise to the previous ovffler very seriously. Ultimately, we are promising your pet will continue to be
loved and live their best life. This designated fvnd has been created based on our estimate of the cost of delivering
on this promise for pets currently in our care. The Trust estimates this commitment to be £30,021,406 as at 31
March 2024.
The Cinnamon Trust New Sanctuary Designated Fund
It has become dear that the Charity fa￿S increasing demand for its services. With the 40th anniversary year in
2025 it is expected that more people will hear of us and that we will be helping more people. Our sanctuaries are
nearing capacity and it has been decided that we need to create a third sanctuary. We have learned from setting up
the existing two sanctuaries that purpose built is the best way. It is anticipated that this new sanctuary will be
outside of Southwest England, will need extensive modification or construction, and will integrate with our existing
operations. A considerable recruitment and training effort will also be required. An amount of £15 million has been
set aside for the acquisition and development of a new sanctuary (including all acquisition, modification and
construction, recruitment and training costs). The Cinnamon Trust has begun its search for an appropriate property.
After setting aside these ￿ designated funds our unrestricted (and undesignated) funds wll amount to
£11,713,401.
Investment policy and objectives
The objective of the Cinnamon Trust is to at least maintain the value in real terms of Charity funds.
£1,586,553 is currently invested with and managed by Quilters and the Trustees are not minded to increase this.
£30,402,927 is invested and managed by the appropriate team at Coutts & Co. The Trustees reviewed this during
the financial year and compared Coutts to other investment managers and advisers. The Trustees decided to retain
Coutts as the primary investment manager.
Cash at bank and in hand of £20.139,930 reflects a high level of terni deposits on call or short maturities which
gained the Charity attractive interest eamings at very low risk. sin￿ year end the Charity has reallocated some of
these funds to investment portfolios as interest rates began to dedine.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in
place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practi￿}.
Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial ststements for each financial year which give a true and fair
view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resou￿$ and application of resources, induding the
income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to=
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently-
obseNe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent., and
prepare the financial statements on the going concem basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity
11 continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose wth 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.
In so far as the trustees are aware..
there is no relevant information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware., and
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit
information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

THE CINNAMON TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CINNAMON TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Cinnamon Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024
which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and note5 1 to
28 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 Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted A¢￿Unting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its
incoming resources and application of resources. induding its income and expenditure, for the year then
ended.,
have been properfy prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
and
have been prepared in accordance viith the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance wth Intemational Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS IUK)} and applicable
law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditoffs ￿SponSIbl1111eS for the audit of
the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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 suffiaent and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have conduded that the trustees, use of the going concem basis of
accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have perfomied. we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or
conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going
concern for a period of at least ￿e1ve months from vthen the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the twstees with respect to going concern are described in the
relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the infomiation induded in the annual report other than the financial statements
and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other infomiation contained within the annual
report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other infomiation and, except to the extent
otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any fomi of assurance condusion 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 detemiine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If,
based on the work we have perfomied, we condude 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.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit..
the information given in the trustees, report for the financial year for which the financial statements are
prepared, which includes the directors, report and the strategic report prepared for the purposes of company
law, is consistent with the financial statements., and
the strategic report and the directors, report included y￿thin the trustees, report have been prepared in
accordance with applicable legal requirements.

THE CINNAMON TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CINNAMON TRUST
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charty and its environment obtained in the course of the
audit, we have not identified material misststements in the strategic report or the directors, report included within the
trustees, 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 retums adequate for our audit have not been received
from branches not visited by us- or
the financial statements are not in agreement vlith the accounting records and returns., or
certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made- or
we have not received all the infomiation and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees. responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the
charity for the purpose 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 intemal 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 charity'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 altemative but to do so.
Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under and report in accordance with the Acts and relevant regulations made or
having effect thereunder.
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 auditorfs report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
th 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 tsken on the basis of these financial ststements.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. https=Il
www.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

THE CINNAMON TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CINNAMON TRUST
Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud. are instsnces of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibililies, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council's website, to detect material
misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.
We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, ils activities, its control environment, and likely future
developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying
th that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial stalements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perfomi audit procedures responsive to those risks,
and obtain audit eviden￿ that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes
consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations. including fraud.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed
procedures which included..
Enquiry of management and those charged with govemance around actual and potential litigation and
claims as well as actual. suspected and alleged fraud-
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged wth governance.,
Assessing the extent of Complian￿ wth the laws and regulations considered to have a direct material
effect on the financial statements or the operations of the entity through enquiry and inspection.,
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and tesling to supporting documentation to assess Compliance
with applicable laws and regulations.,
Performing audit work over the risk of management bias and override of controls, including testing of
journal entries and other adjustrnents for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant
transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for indicators of
potential bias.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, induding 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 of
not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may
involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of intemal control.
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 CompaniesAct 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 for the opinions we
have fom)ed.

THE CINNAMON TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Accounting policies
Charity information
The Cinnamon Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The
registered office is 10 Market Square, Hayle, Comwall, TR27 4HE, United Kingdom.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordan￿ with the charity's governing document, the
Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice
applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordan￿ wth the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland {FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)" The charity is a Public
Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling. which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary
amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the ex￿ptIOn of
investments that are measured at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going ¢on¢em
The twstees have assessed the use of the going concem basis and have considered possible events or
conditions that might cast a significant doubt on the ability of the charitable company to continue as a going
concern. The trustees have considered a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these
financial ststements. In particular, the twstees have considered the charitable company's available cash
balances in conjunction with expected working capital requirements and have concluded that there is a
reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future.
The trustees are of the view that there are no material uncertainties that may create significant doubt over the
charitable company's ability to continue as a going concem. The charitable company therefore continues to
adopt the going cOn￿M basis in preparing its financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted fvnds are available for use at the discretion of the twstees in furtheran￿ of their charitable
objectives.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.
Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial
statements.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Accounting policies
{Continued)
1.4 Income
All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled
to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The followng specific policies are
applied to particular categories of income=.
a) Voluntary income is re￿iVed by way of donations and gifts and is induded in full in the Statement of
Financial Activities when receivable. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold.
Donated assets are included at their fair value where this can be reliably measured and a third paty is
bearing the cost. The value of services provided by volunteers is not quantifiable and accordingly has not
been included.
b) Income from the the sale of bought in goods is induded at the point of sale of the goods.
c) Dividend and interest income from investments is included in the period in which it is receivable.
d) Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending
distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as
a contingent asset.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for on an a¢¢ruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all
cost related to the category. Mhere costs cannot be directly attnbuted to particular headings they have been
allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and include the costs of goods
purchased for resale as part of the trading income.
Govemance costs are management and administration costs that are incurred in connection with
administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
1.6 Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured
at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives
on the following bases=
So￿are
250A on reducing balance
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation and accumulated impaiment losses. Costs includes
costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended by management.
Depreciation is recognised so as to v4rite off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives
on the following bases=
Freehold propety
Plant and equipment
Fixlures and fittings
Motor vehicles
Office equipment
50 years straight line
1040 years straight line
10 years straight line
7 years straight line
>5 years straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference be￿een the sale
proceeds and the carying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
17-

THE CINNAMON TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Accounting policies
{Continued)
During the year, the depreciation rates have been revised to a straight line method as opposed to a reducing
balance method, based on each assets remaining useful life. The effect of this change is immaterial both in
the current year and prospectively.
1.8 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs. and are
subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net
incomel(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
1.9 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its intangible and tangible assets to
determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such
indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the
impairment loss (if any). Vlihere it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset,
the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in
use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pr&tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which
the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An
impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Recognised impaimient losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased
to apply. ￿ere an impairment loss subsequently reverses. the carrying amount of the asset (or cash
generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased
carrying amount does not exceed the carying amount that would have been determined had no impaimient
loss been recognised for the asset {or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is
recognised immediately in the Statement of Financial Activities.
1.10 Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. after making due allowance for obsolete and
slow moving items.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling pri￿ less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be
incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
1.11 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand. deposits held at call wth banks, other short-term liquid
investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown
within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.12 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments, and Sedion 12
'Other Financial Instruments Issues, of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assels and liabilities are offset, wth the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when
there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a
net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at
transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the
effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a finanang transaction, where the transaction is
measured at the present value of the future receipts di$￿Unted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets
classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities. induding creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the
arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value
of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within
one year are not amortised.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of
operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one
year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at
transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised vthen the charity's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or
cancelled.
1.13 Taxation
The charity is subject to corporation tax if its trading activities exceed the small trading taxation exemption.
No corporation tax was due in respect of the year ended 31 March 2024, nor to 31 March 2023, as the trading
element resulted in a loss.
1.14 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in vthich the employee's services are
received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed
to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.15 Retirement benefits

Future sanctuary
Both the Hillside and Poldarves sactuaries are nearing full capacity. Vlhile numbers can fluctuate we expect
growth in numbers of animals at our sanctuaries as we become better known in our 40th anniversary year.
The Trustees have decided to set aside fvjnds of £15 million to fund the purchase of a new sanctuary. This
sanctuary will preferably be outside of the South West of England and so in keeping with our national
operations. The amount set aside in the designated fund reflects a purchase of land somewhere in England
and Wales, construction of purpose built buildings. integration with existing operations and recruitment and
training of relevant staff.
The Cinnamon Promise
The Cinnamon Trust has estimated the future cost of our promise to the previous owners to take care of the
pets currently in our care for the term of their natural lives. This has considered current costs and average
lifespan of different pets (increased to reflect our experience that pets live longer than average with the care
we provide). The Trust estimates this commitment to be £30.021,406 and has created a designated fund to
reflect this commitment. For further infomiation please see the Trustees report.
