Strategies for achieving the objecties:
Education through the UK national school systemmaking use of the national curriculum and offering the resources of the zooto schools both on site for educational visits and for education staff to visit schools by request. Microsoft Teams and Zoom meetings were used less as the effects of the Covid pandemic diminished. Sixty one schools visited us and we were asked to visit another thirty schools during the year.
Public interaction and subliminal education took place through timetable advertised educational scripted feed talks at the zoo. Interactive public animal handling or contact sessions occurred regularly throughout the season but to a lesser extent than pre-covid.
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 sixth consecutive year. In particular, as part of the zoo's conservation programme for the release of native wild species, a white stork has been bred bringing the potential release individuals to seven.
Conservation in terms of breeding and working with endangered and rare species through international and European breeding programmes on exhibit has continued. Ninety three births have been recorded, fifty nine acquisitions and eighty five deaths have occurred. See the "notable important breeding programme" examples in achievements and performance.
Improvement of habitats was continued with the development and refurbishment of an endangered red panda exhibitand the refurbishment of the entire central lake area of the zoo due to the impact oflocally of avian influenza ("bird flu").
The Charity has continued 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 Stitching Wild Dog foundation in Holland for the procurement of radio tracking collars for wild dogs annually in Zimbabwe. An annual donation agreement with Cheetah Conservation Foundation has been agreed.
The Trustees' have paid due regard to guidance issued by The Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.
Public benefit
In planning our activities, the trustees have kept in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and have folllowed this guidance to demonstrate the charitable aims are for public benefit.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Trustees' Report
Financial review
The Charity has seen a small reduction in reserves to £446,268 in the period, partly as a result of the lower footfall experienced. However, there has been necessary extensive investment required by the Avian Flu prevention works and significant resources have also been focussed on the zoo's facilities, all of which will place the Charity in a robust and sustainable position going forward and enable, not only the continued exhibit of avian livestock, but also our involvement in their associated breeding programmes.
The Trustees have the power to invest such assets as they feel appropriate to the Charity. At present, any surplus monies are held on deposit at the bank.
Policy on reserves
It is the agreed policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to six months expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves maintained at this level will ensure in the event of a significant drop in funding, that the Charity will be able to continue current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
Plans for future periods
Aims and key objectives for future periods
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 2023/24 is to continue to build the initiated exhibits for endangered snow leopards and hyena. Construciion work is hoped to recommence in the winter of 2023/24.
Avian influenza prevention work on the zoo central waterway has to be finished to reduce the risks associated with the risks associated with this pandemic and any further winter restrictions imposed by the APHA.
Continued significant investment is required in maintenance throughout the zoo premises, but particularly the perimeter poles of the Exmoor Beast enclosure and the raised walkways and viewing area.
The construction of a new flamingo encloisure at the existing enclosure 38 will be revisited subject to finances, as the exhibited incumbent capybara are due to be relocated to enclosure 41 as agreed with the Zoo licensing inspection team in 2021.
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The Charity is a charitable incorporated organisation founded under a constitution dated 8 January 2020 and commenced operating on 4 July 2020.
None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the Charity. If the Charity is wound up, the members have no liability to contribute to its assets and no personal responsibility for settling its liabilities.

Trustees' Report
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The constitution requires that there must be a minimum of three and a maximum of twelve trustees.
The current trustees were contacted and selected by the existing zoo partnership based on their experience. acquired practical knowledge of UK zoos, running a profitable business and professional acumen.
Any future trustees will be selected on similar professional experience relating to the zoo industry or practices. The lengths of trustees service is varied to enable continuity when and if changes occur.
Arrangements for setting key management personnel remuneration
None of the trustees receive remuneration from the Charity.
Major risks and management of those risks
Zoo legislation
Compliance with zoo legislation
Procedures are in place within the Charity to review the level of risks. Zoo legislation with which the Charity has to comply, determines risks and it is incumbent on the shared two licence owners and trustees, Mr D L and Mrs 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 maintained to record communication to this effect.
The Trustees have also assessed the other major risks to which the Charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

1 Accounting policies
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
Exmoor Zoological & Conservation Centre meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, income from charitable activities, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Grants receivable
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is a reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
When the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants are received prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
Asset class Depreciation method and rate Plant and equipment 20% reducing balance Furniture and equipment 3 years straight line Integral fixtures and fittings 10 years straight line
Stock
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO).
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023
Financial instruments
Classification
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
