Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. The financial statements are prepared in United Kingdom Pounds Sterling (GBP) and are rounded to the nearest pound. 2.2 Income All income is recognised once the Foundation has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in Ihe relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and induded in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received. the income is accrued. Donaled services or facilities are recognised when the Foundation has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charilies SORP (FRS 102). the general volunteer time of volunteers is not recognised. On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Foundation which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to oblain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market., a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of re￿ipt. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 10 CHURCHILL LINES FOUNDATION (A Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 2.3 Expenditure Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third -party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent. and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Foundation's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. including governance costs. Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional. such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure. All expendilure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 2.4 Investments Current asset investments comprise of balances held on deposit with a maturity of more than three months and less than one year. 2.5 Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered.

Cash equivalents comprise of short-temi highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash equivalents have a maturity of a maximum of three months or less from the date of acquisition. 2.7 Liabilities and provisions Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amounl of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Foundation anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material. the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost. 11 CHURCHILL LINES FOUNDATION (A Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025 2.8 Financial instruments The Foundation only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.
