## **MARSH FARM FUTURES**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2021**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and Activities**
The Organisation has 5 key objectives:
1. The provision of affordable, well-managed and sustainable facilities for enterprise and community activities;
2. The Development of a vibrant local economy where businesses can prosper and community enterprise can flourish, creating jobs and a skilled and competitive workforce;
3. Promoting effective partnership working between all sectors to build capacity and create a sustainable community 'anchor' organisation to ensure that the needs of the community are understood and addressed;
4. Supporting local youth programmes which develop skills and confidence engaging young people as active decision makers, and encourage a healthy, confident community who feel safe, and have a range of accessible facilities;
5. Improving education standards for all with a wide range of learning opportunities and experiences.
The Board believes that through strong partnership working it will assist in job creation, and skills development and training. Community engagement will continue to be a key factor in enabling the ongoing success of Futures House and other MFF project initiatives and use by local residents. Long term sustainability of MFF will rely on income generation, providing services and benefits to the residents of Marsh Farm and the surrounding area, both through the use and letting of Futures House, and through the funding and delivery of current and planned projects. Identifying risks and the likelihood of each assessed with management proposals and contingency plans as well as an action plan has been set out from the outset of the five year plan which demonstrates what tasks are required under the business plan headings of management, finance, governance, personnel, marketing, and operations. These plans and activities will be key to achieving MFF's aims and furthering its legal purpose over the coming years.
The Board will work towards meeting its stated aims and objectives through;
- management and letting of property and particularly the operation of Futures House;
- provide facilities and services for the community whilst generating a surplus to invest into other activities;
- management and operation of Futures Fun Factory;
- management and letting of the Meeting Halls to maximise the social benefits to the local community whilst aiming to cover the operating costs;
- development and delivery of practical projects that respond to the priorities within the strategic aims.
## **Public benefit**
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when setting their grant making policy for the year, in line with the Charity's aims and objectives.

**MARSH FARM FUTURES**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2021**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Social investments**
Grant making - Community Chest Grant Funding, as part of our social investment actions that build capacity of small community groups and organisations to become more effective enterprises operating in the area or from Futures House. MFF encourages local community groups/organisations to apply for small funding grants called Community Chest. When applications are received, they are checked; a panel of Board Members is formed where applicants are invited to give a 3-5-minute presentation on why they want the money and talk about their project. Afterwards, the panel decides to agree or not and may put down some conditions. Successful groups/organisations are then notified, and funding is provided subject to meeting any conditions that the panel may have set.
Our social investment activities are based on supporting local residents, businesses and young people, this includes The Fun Factory's Marsh Farm resident's discount days on a Monday and a Friday as well as supporting local childminders with a discount morning every Thursday from 10:00am - 2:00pm. However due to the pandemic, Futures Fun Factory, the indoor play facility of Marsh Farm Futures, was closed to the public in March 2020, as such, none of the usual events for children took place during the year.
Other provisions include use of space, meeting rooms, community halls at low cost to enable access to individuals and groups to develop themselves, their groups and sustain themselves for the future.
Due to the COVID 19 Lockdown, no activities could take place during the year, including the Annual Enterprise Day, Futures Community Fun Day, Marsh Farm Fireworks, Winter Wonderland, 50+ Christmas Party, Futures Business Voice Events as well as Eid and other celebrations in Futures Fun Factory. Other events that did take place this year include the Community Quiz Nights via zoom and the very successful Children's' Christmas Presents project where over 3000 wrapped gifts were given to children in primary schools. in the Marsh Farm and surrounding areas by Marsh Farm Futures.
We were also able to deliver the Better Futures Programme supporting and assisting the community with food and care, parcels, a befriending, and support service as well as an employability programme to help residents back into work during and post pandemic. These events, facilitated by MFF as its social responsibility, mobilise the community and create a sense of belonging and social cohesion.
## **Volunteers**
Volunteers are a vital source of support to us. All of our Board members are also volunteers offering their expertise and time at no cost to MFF. In addition, normally over 80 volunteers contribute their support to our annual community and business events, mainly from Luton and the surrounding areas. Charles Hazel is one of our key volunteers who has been with MFF since 2011. Charles regularly contributes his time and helps with several tasks including facilities support. Due to the pandemic we have been unable to use volunteers and Charles, except the Board members.
As part of the Children's Christmas present project, we had a number of volunteers from the community who gave their time to help wrap 4,500+ presents for Santa to take to the local schools.
## **Key Outputs**
The measures it uses to assess success in the reporting period is through key output delivery: During this reporting period, April 2020 - March 2021, Futures House was closed to the public.
- Number of 50+ people benefiting from advice and initiatives
- Number of community groups supported
- Number of health initiatives introduced

## **Partnership work**
Building - Futures House, closed during the reporting period due to COVID 19, though many groups and individuals were assisted with support over the telephone and sign posting to various other service providers.
## **Reserves for local investment**
MFF Board will need to clarify any applications and use of MFF reserves, and plan for appropriate investment in new projects. One such project is the local Market which may have potential but requires investment of time and money to thoroughly review its operation, and then to plan and implement changes to arrest the recent decline and build a new customer base. The Board has agreed to create a project investment fund of £50,000 to provide for options appraisals and feasibility studies for new initiatives. Due to COVID-19 the Board will need to take a careful and planned considered view on what projects can be started, implemented, and sustained in the future.
MFF has identified several capital projects on Futures House land that may require capital investment over the next few years. Last year MFF carried out a feasibility study to determine the most appropriate development solutions. These options were considered by the Board in terms of how they address the local planning context, their deliverability, and their ability to attract resources. The study also considers how the project/s can be managed moving forward and in the long-term by considering how MFF can develop as an organisation and the key external relationships necessary. As part of the commission three options had been considered for development. The initial feasibility study suggests that it may require an estimated investment of between £7-8m Pounds. The Board considered a smaller development scheme around the Futures Fun Factory, which is undergoing further discussions. The main projects under this development are Futures Fun Factory Climbing wall, youth and community hub and extension to the Futures House. These projects are continuing further work but may be subject to further revisions due to COVID-19 as we progress into next year.
Depending on potential sources of finance, future projected income, and the strategy for their development, this will affect how the Charity might execute the capital projects. If external finance is to be used, MFF will need to carefully consider all the factors and ensure that its investment is planned and delivered with users and with the financial modelling that makes it sustainable.

**MARSH FARM FUTURES**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2021**
## **Overview of meeting room and other services**
Approx. 200 people made use of the meeting rooms for essential training, we lost other bookings as a result of mandatory Covid 19 restrictions. LBC Housing advisors, who would usually be available twice a week at the front desk, were unable to offer their services throughout and after the lockdown period. Marsh Farm Futures, Foodbank and another charity, Joseph Store Basket were able to support the community with food and other essentials whilst the building was closed to the public and help via phone with signposting and general queries.
## **Visitors experience**
Car parking in the area is much improved but at times still overloaded, hence a second area at the front carpark has now been lined out to add another extra 18 bays, which will assist in reducing congestion.
## **New Units**
We have invested in building one new office on the ground floor and three new offices on first floor. This has resulted in the move for L&D Radio, from Luton and Dunstable Hospital to a new home at Futures House where they have installed two studios for their operations. We have also managed to secure extra five new licences and a tenancy with the new Labour MP, Sarah Owen, to provide a mix of valuable services to local residents.
## **Information and Technology**
Having invested in improving the infrastructure of our IT across the site replacing existing out-of-date hardware and installing new Wi-Fi access points across the building and then installing new PCs and screens to enable staff to work more efficiently and have better workstation spaces in the atrium area of the building for residents to access free use of computers. Due to the pandemic these services have not been fully used to their potential in the current year.
## **Website and social media**
The MFF website and social media channels have been used to promote various MFF activities and events through press releases, interviews with local residents using our services and tenants within the building.
In order to increase MFF's online presence we have been working on having SEO (search engine optimisation) for our website and have taken on the services of a local company to achieve this. Ultimately this will lead to Futures House coming up in search engines for people looking for halls, meeting room spaces, activities for children and annual community events.
## **Internal and external factors**
Lack of numbers in the Community Voice has still been an issue over the last few years, however because of the involvement of the Community Voice in the Junior Youth Club and the Resident Coffee Morning and other events, there is now interest from local residents in joining the 'Voice'.
Meeting Halls - Whilst the reductions in price for hall hire, as previously reported, encouraged users, once COVID 19 restrictions were in place, halls were only used for mandatory training and showed a loss of income as a result.
Education Programmes - MFF is not in a position to make an impact on this directly, however, a staff member has been assigned to lead on education provision with a Board member supporting him.
Futures Young Voice - No activity on this or the Junior Youth Club due to COVID 19. We hope to build on both as Covid 19 restrictions are lifted.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2021**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
The trustees wish to report a net surplus of £58,984 within unrestricted funds and a surplus of £11,330 within restricted funds respectively for the year under review. The unrestricted general reserves stand at £2,021,187 and restricted funds at £26,590.
Details of the major items on the balance sheet can be found in the notes to the financial statements.
Expenditure on Gas and Electric has been slightly reduced this year due to prudent management of the heating and lighting the building and negotiating robustly with the utilities companies and changing the contracts as required.
Delays in payment of invoices from tenants and suppliers has an impact on our cash flows but not an adverse impact on our collection of invoices, as we monitor aged debtors each month and have systems in place to recover funds owed to the charity.
Loss of some of the larger and key tenants from Futures House has had a significant effect on the financial performance of charity, particularly with COVID-19 likely to have a major influence on loss of income and some services to local people for best part of next year. There have been some changes to larger tenants in the building, specifically to Elite Day Care Services whose lease expires at end of September 2020 and Luton Borough Council whose leases expired at the end of the financial year.
The Board had agreed a community chest budget of £10,000 during the current year, and due to demand the Board had allocated additional resources to this budget in the 4th Quarter of the previous year. Due to the pandemic and social distancing in place, no applications were received for grants in the current year.
These factors and any other key risks identified that do not get addressed will have an impact on the long-term sustainability of MFF, in particular, it may have an impact on its four financial objectives, i.e.:
- a) Sustained growth in profitability of Futures House.
- b) Build up MFF's reserves, particularly the sinking fund for long term building maintenance and renewal.
c) Revenue funding for projects of community benefit.
- d) Budget and priorities for a capital investment programme.
## **Principal funding sources**
Rents and Service Charges pay for staffing and other running costs of the charity as well as the community chest funding. Futures Fun Factory pays for its staffing, rent and service charge plus any training for staff and provide a much-needed service to local people in Marsh Farm and the surrounding areas, which has been shut due to the pandemic in this year. Donations from local businesses towards an annual firework display that we deliver in early November are helpful in meeting some of the costs. In addition, often a small amount of income is generated through business events.
## **Investment policy and objectives**
There are no investments in external entities and the Board will develop a policy as and when required.
## **Reserves policy**
In order to protect Marsh Farm Futures against variation in income, and to allow for new opportunities, Marsh Farm Futures has an unrestricted reserves policy setting out guidelines on setting money aside rather than using it for immediate issues/projects. This is money that can be spent on anything which furthers the objectives of Marsh Farm Futures and secures its viability beyond the immediate future to provide reliable services over the longer term. The replacement costs for the main features of the Futures House building (e.g., roof, heating, lift, etc), were originally calculated at £1,895,064 at 2011 prices. Assuming a 25 to 50-year lifecycle for the various features, an annual average allocation of about £50,000 at current prices has been made to a sinking fund. Business Continuity will largely be covered by the organisation's insurance given that MFF's primary income source is from the letting of Future House. A small contingency of £100,000 has been set aside to facilitate working capital during any period when insurance claims are being processed in the event of sudden loss of income. A Project Investment Fund of £50,000 is created to provide for options appraisals and feasibility studies for new initiatives.
A separate bank account is in place for the sinking fund with a separate account for the tenants' deposits.

**MARSH FARM FUTURES**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2021**
## **FUTURE PLANS**
There are no plans by the Trustees to change the charities aims and objectives at the moment. The focus of the activities for MFF over the next three to five years are to be within four primary areas:
- i) Management and letting of property and particularly the operation of Futures House, to provide facilities and services for the community whilst generating a surplus to invest into other activities;
- ii) Management and operation of Futures Fun Factory;
- iii) Management and letting of the Meeting Halls to maximise the social benefits to the local community whilst aiming to cover their operating costs;
- iv) Development and delivery of practical projects that respond to the priorities within its strategic aims;
The Board are planning to invest in new climbing walls for the Futures Fun Factory when it is possible to open the facility late 2021 / early 2022. The Board forecast costs to construct this facility to be between £100,000 and £150,000. Plans have been made in order to raise funds from external sources as well as using some of our reserves.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
## **Decision making**
Decisions on policy and direction of the charity are taken by the Board, but operational decisions to implement these are a matter for staff through the Chief Executive Officer. Directors approve the budget and work programme and monitor progress of each through Officer's reports throughout the year. They also consider and approve the Annual Accounts. There is a long-term forward planning process, which is based on three-year financial forecasts, and additional meetings of the Board to consider future plans and activities.
## **New Trustees**
Induction and training of new trustees or suitably experienced representatives from such Organisations or persons as it determines, for persons to be appointed as Directors because of their experience of, skills in or understanding of working in the relevant sector, so that the Board in total is as follows:
- three local residents, nominated by the community assembly or through such other process as the Board shall determine;
- two business representatives, one of whom should be working in a business based on the Marsh Farm estate;
- two Councillors nominated by the Council;
- three other local stakeholders, at the reasonable discretion of the Board;
- one Young Person.
New trustees are normally chosen as they have a track record of working with or within public or community organisations and are introduced to the specific workings of the Charity by the Chief Executive. Before appointment they are normally interviewed by the Board, and the nature of the decisions they will be faced with are explained at this time. Any specialist training required by an individual Director is available on request.
## **Staff remuneration**
Staff numbers have increased progressively since the charity was formed with a mixture of full time, part time and flexible staff all on contract and at least on the living wage. Each addition or replacement of a staff member is appointed within an appropriate advertised salary range, and external advice is sought on this when necessary to ensure that they are properly benchmarked. Annual salaries for all staff are readjusted annually in respect of cost of living, using the Local Government settlement made nationally as a guide. Due to the pandemic all staff in Futures Fun Factory were made redundant in 2020 and the operation closed for the foreseeable future. We are planning to re-open in 2021-22 with additional investment in capital infrastructure.

**REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF MARSH FARM FUTURES**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Marsh Farm Futures (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement 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 Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting 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 2021 and of its 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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the 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 trustees' 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 financial statements are 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 Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors 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.
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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

**MARSH FARM FUTURES**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).
Marsh Farm Futures meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The trustees have considered the financial health of the charity along with the various government measures in place to support businesses and charities through the COVID-19 pandemic and with this in mind the trustees believe that the charity at the date of signing, will continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.
## **Preparation of consolidated financial statements**
The financial statements contain information about Marsh Farm Futures as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The charity is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements.
## **Income**
## **Nature of Income**
Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers.
## **Categories of Income**
Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.
Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchased.
Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.
## **Income recognition**
Income, whether from exchange or non-exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity's assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.
- a) Grants and donations Income received by way of grants and donations is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.
- b) Investment income
Investment income is included when receivable.
- c) Charitable activities
Incoming resources from charitable activities are accounted for when earned.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Income**
- d) Rental income Rental income is recognised when the company is entitled to receive income based on the contractual agreement in force.
All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any relate fees or costs.
## **Gift aid**
The income and any associated Gift Aid or other tax refund received by the charity in the nature of a gift, is accounted for on the same basis as a donation.
## **Expenditure on goods and services**
A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated.
Liabilities arsing from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance relating grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increase in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.
## **Volunteers**
In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution from volunteers is not included within the income of the charity. However, the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers and this is described more fully in the trustee's annual report.
## **Allocation and apportionment of costs**
All costs are directly allocated to the activity to which they relate.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets held for the company's own use are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
Plant and machinery - Straight line over 4 years
No provision has been made this year for depreciation of leasehold improvements. The trustees are of the opinion that the recoverable amount of the leasehold improvements would not materially differ from the carrying value of that class of assets.
## **Taxation**
As a registered charity, the organisation is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applied towards the charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is recoverable by the charity
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
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.

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Fund accounting**
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
## **Government grants**
Government grants are recognised in the profit and loss accounts within income when it is deemed to be receivable by the company.
## **Debtors**
Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.
## **Creditors and provisions**
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.
## **Financial instruments, cash and bank balances**
Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.
Financial instruments are measured as fair value. In the case of unlisted investments they are valued at cost less impairment.
## **Winding up or dissolution of the charity**
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
## **Investment in subsidiaries**
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost less impairment.
