This year, we have witnessed firsthand the life-changing irnpact that Animal Assisted Therapy brings to children, teens, and adults. With each session, we see individuals flourish-whether a child who finds their voice through interaction with gentle animals or a teen struggling with self-confidence who learns to connect and trust. The therapeutic bond between humans and animals is profound, and our charity is dedicated to nurturing this connection, Our success this year has only strengthened our resolve to expand our outreach, particularly with the new equine therapy initiative. As we look ahead, our goal is to increase our impact, offering more sessions, expanding our facilities, and bringing on additional skilled therapists. Together, we are building a sanctuary of hope, healing, and growth for all who seek it." Aryeh Shonberg

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Incomlng ro$ources All Incoming resources are included in the statement of financial aclivitles when entitlement has passed to the charity: it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the Iransactlon will flow to the charity and Ihe amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: Income from donatlons or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entltlement to the gift, recelpt Is probable and its amount can be measured rellably. legacy Income is recognised when receipt is probabl8 and entitlement is establlshed. income from donated goods Is measured at the falr value of the goods unless thSs Is Impraetlcal to measure rellably, In which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estlmated resale value. Donated facllltles and serrfices are reeognised in the accounts when received if the value Can be rellably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. income from contracts for the supply of servlces Is recognised with the dellvery of the contracted service. This Is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requlremenl for il to be spent on a partlcular purpose and retumed If unspent, in whl¢h case it may be regarded as restrlcled. Resources exp•nd•d Expendlture Is recognlsed on an accruals basis as a liability is Incurred. Expenditure Includes any VAT whlch cannot be fully recovered, and Is classified under headlngs of the statement of financlal activities to which it relates: expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundralslng activities, evenls, non-charltable tradlng activities, and the sale ol donated goods. expenditure on charitable activities Includes all Costs Incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charltable aims for the benefit of its beneflclarles, Including those support costs and costs relatlng to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. Other expenditure includes all expenditure that Is neither related to ralslng f unds for the charity nor part of Its expendllure on charitable activities. All costs arè allocated to experKllture categories reflectlng the use of the resource. Direcl costs attributable to a slngle activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportloned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. Tanglblo assots Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost. and subsequenlly stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent aecumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impaimient losses.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) An Increase In the carrylng amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised In other r8cognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluatlon, Is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to whlch it offsets any previous revaluation gain. In which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the stalement of financial activities. D•pr•clatlon Depreciatlon Is calculaled so as to wrlte off the cost or valuation of an assel, less its resldual value, over the useful economlc Ilfe of that asset as follows: Imp•lrm•nt of Ilx•d •sMIs A revlew for Indicators of impairment Is carried out at each reporting date, wlth the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the Carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is Impaired accordingly. Prlor Impairments are also revlewed for possible reversal at each reportlng date. For the purposes of impairment testing. when it is not possible to estimate the r8coverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generatlng unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identif iable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business comblnatlon is, from the a¢quisition date. allocated to each of the cash-generating unlts that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the Combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are asslgned to those unlts. Flnancial instrumonts A flnanclal asset or a flnanclal liablllty is reeognlsed onty when the charlty becomes a party to the contractual provlslons of the Instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the arnount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expectd to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at arnortised cost. Where investments In shares are publlcly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. Ail other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impainnent.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Other financial instruments, Including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of Interest for a similar debt instrumenl. Other flnanclal Inslruments are subsequently measured at fair value. with any changes recognised In the statement of flnancial activities. with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relatlonship. Financial assets thal are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of Impairment at the end of each reportlng date. If there Is objective evidence of impairment, an Impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial a¢tivltles In whSch the inltlal gain was recognised. For all equity instruments regardless of signlficance, and other financlal assets that are Individually slgnlflcant, these are assessed individually for impaimient. Other flnanclal assets are elther assessed Indivldually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characlerlstics. Any reversals of Impalrment are recognised immediately, to the exlent that the reversal does nol result In a ¢arrylng amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the Carrylng amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
