EXMOOR ZOOLOGICAL & CONSERVATION CENTRE
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The Trustees' present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.
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, the Companies Act 2006 and "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
The Charity's aims and objects are:
-
To promote the conservation of the physical and natural environment by promoting biodiversity.
-
To advance the education of the public on the conservation of the physical and natural world and the promotion of biodiversity;
-
To promote the conservation of the physical and natural environment and the maintenance of biological diversity, in particular but not limited to the provision of public education, scientific study and the maintenance of endangered animals, plants and habitats in both protected and natural environments.
Strategies for achieving the aims and objectives:
-
Education, through the UK national school system making use of the national curriculum and offering the resources of the zoo to schools both on site for educational visits and for education staff to visit schools by request. Microsoft Team and Zoom meeting were also used principally in 2021 due to the remaining effects of the covid pandemic.
-
Public interaction and subliminal education took place through educational scripted feed talks at the zoo. No interactive public animal handling or contact sessions occurred due to the lingering legal policies of the covid pandemic.
-
Conservation was continued in alignment with the UK Zoo legislation. The site continues to be managed for local flora and fauna, for instance; the British Ornithological Trust “ringer” continued to trap, record and ring native species on site in particular sparrows for the zoo’s house sparrow project which has continued into its fifth consecutive year.
-
Improvement of habitats was continued with the development and capital investment in the creation of an endangered Clouded Leopard exhibit and the refurbishment of an older/original enclosure for the new exhibit of honey badger.
-
The charity has begun to provide funds for ex-situ projects for some of the species that it exhibits. For instance, an annual donation has been established with the Stichting Wild Dog foundation in Holland for the procurement of radio tracking collars for wild dogs annually in Zimbabwe. Funds have also been provided to the Begawan Foundation in Bali for the wild release and the breeding support in Bali of the critically endangered Bali starling that the zoo also exhibits, breeds and maintains within the European breeding programme.
The Trustees' have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Achievements and performance
Achievements and performance of the charity over the period:
-
The zoo has recorded the greatest number of visitors through its gates since its inception in 1993. A footfall of over 60,000 for the year has been recorded and is undoubtedly due to the it’s new status as a charity and the publicity it received and help during the pandemic.
-
Public and government direct support in terms of grants and donations have diminished as the effects of the pandemic have receded and this will be the first year the charity will be self-supporting through its own means and resources.
-
The charity employs nineteen full time and two part time staff
-
Gift Aid declaration by the visiting public enabled £93,673 of additional funds which were available for the running of the zoo charity.
-
Significant levels of maintenance have been required due the low levels of this work being carried out during the pandemic. The ephemeral nature of many of the exhibit constructions utilising wood has required significant repair and investment. This will need to continue into the future as the exhibits are replaced with more permanent structures.
-
During this trading year the zoo charity has managed to maintain a monetary reserve sufficient to support the zoo (with reduced staffing levels and no visitors of £315,000) for a 12-month period., The charity will endeavour to maintain this reserve in-line with the new government zoo licensing regulations currently being discussed for introduction in 2024
-
Significant investment has been made in quality educational signs on site particularly for the zoo’s most important exhibits and for the conservation work it is undertaking.
-
A particular notable achievement was the breeding of 3 white stork chicks in 2021 which are intended for soft release into the zoo and immediate surrounds complying with the Natural England requirements for the reintroduction of this native species.
Supporters
Voluntary support has been fantastic but is limited to only a few enthusiastic and supportive colleagues. The charity would like to name and thank the following people in particular who have provided tremendous help and support in a variety of ways from providing photographic images, specific monetary funds, their time and enthusiasm working on site as volunteers and the donation of free resources for our benefit.
This list is not prohibitive and by necessity excludes those who have requested not to be mentioned:
Mr & Mrs Keith & Kim Spendlove, Jeff & Jason from Homelife, Miriam Hass, Helen & Katie Horricks, Brian and Shirley Newcombe, Len & Yvonne DesBois, Rick & Tina Haskell Desmond, Patrick Tucker, Brian Lilly, Tarka Home Improvements, Sandra Matthews and Sue Maxfield.
Financial review
The charity has managed to achieve a surplus of £300,532 during this period.
The Trustees have the power to invest in such assets as they feel appropriate to the charity. At present any surplus monies are held on deposit at the bank.
It is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The Trustees' consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

EXMOOR ZOOLOGICAL & CONSERVATION CENTRE
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
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. As an example, a tree survey on site will be undertaken in the following year.
Procedures are in place within the Charity to review the level of risks. Zoo legislation which the Charity has to comply with, determines risks and it is incumbent on the shared two licence owners and trustees Mr & Mrs DL & L Reynolds to comply with this legislation on behalf of the Charity. The Chairman and other trustees rely on their ability and discussions to ensure the minimisation of risk on their behalf through management of the zoo. Discussions and records are kept to this in effect of communication.
Future plans for the Charity include:
-
The Charity zoological collection plan requires it to attempt to acquire, maintain, exhibit and provide education for endangered breeding species from international controlled programmes. The intention for 2022-23 is to build exhibits for endangered snow leopards and red panda. Construction work began on these replacement exhibits in April 2022.
-
Continued significant investment is required in maintenance.
-
The Charity will continue to help with capital funding certain active conservation projects in the wild for those species it exhibits. This will be extended to include the CCF – the Cheetah Conservation Fund in 2022-23.
-
To comply with zoo licensing legislation the Charity is required to invest in the provision of a veterinary hospital room that enables operations and immediate rehabilitation/recovery of the zoo animals on site.
-
The chairman of the Trustees has provided at an agreed reduced price a modern (12 moth old) hyena and cheetah enclosure from his property as he is moving residence. This will be erected as a replacement exhibit for the dilapidated alpaca enclosure at the zoo. The alpacas will be placed at another zoo.
-
It has been decided by Trustees that the original inadequate toilet facilities for the zoo will be replaced. Planning permission was granted 16[th] March 2022 on North Devon Council planning number 74663. It is the intention to modernise these facilities during the winter of 2022-23.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Exmoor Zoological & Conservation Centre is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Exmoor Zoo, Bratton Fleming, Barnstaple, Devon, EX31 4SG, United Kingdom.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). 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 £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees' have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees' continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees' in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the Charity.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
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 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Leasehold improvements Nil Plant and equipment 20% reducing balance Fixtures and fittings 3 years straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.6 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its 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).
1.7 Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with 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.
1.9 Financial instruments
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 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 assets and liabilities are offset, with 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 financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
