## **OUSA LIMITED** 

## **(A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025** 

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Company for the period 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025. The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102). 

Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **a. Policies and objectives** 

Ousa Limited was established in 2021 to advance education in information technology for the benefit of the public in such ways as the trustees think fit including but not limited to the establishment, maintenance and operation of training centres and the provision of courses to teach information technology. 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **a. Key Activities and Achievements** 

The Charity continued to operate its software engineering training centre throughout the year. The lease on the original premise was terminated on the 28 September 2024 with the charity moving its training operation to a smaller location in London. 

The Charity has a partnership with the worldwide brand '42', a collection of software engineering training centres located around the world. 

## **Financial review** 

## **a. Going concern** 

Following the year end, the Trustees determined that the funds available and expected future funding would not be sufficient to sustain the Charity’s physical training centre operations. As a result, the Trustees made the decision to cease the physical centre and significantly reduce the Charity’s cost base. 

The Charity has continued certain activities remotely on a limited basis, and the Trustees are actively reassessing the viability of these activities. Any ongoing or future activities will be carried out in line with the Charity’s available resources and funding. 

The Trustees have assessed the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Based on the reduced cost structure and the expectation that all liabilities will be settled in full, the Trustees consider that the Charity will be able to meet its obligations as they fall due.

## **c. Principal risks and uncertainties** 

The principal risk of the Charity is the loss of key staff members and funding. 

## **d. Financial Review**

Ousa Limited is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by Articles of Association.

The management of the Company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association. 

## **c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies** 

The organisation is overseen by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees are responsible for ensuring safe and legal governance and financial operations. 

The Board of Trustees during the year consisted of: 

Lilian Cuhna Monnerat Solon de Pontes (chair) Daniela Mastrorocco Bronwyn Anne Kunhardt (resigned on 18 November 2024) Sarah Philippa Bennett (appointed 18 November 2024)

The Board regularly reviews its governance framework and decision-making processes to align with the Code’s principles, including integrity, transparency, and accountability.

## **OUSA LIMITED** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025** 

## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities** 

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Ousa Limited ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the Trustees of the Company (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Company's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

This report is made solely to the Company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

## **OUSA LIMITED** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025** 

## **1. General information** 

Ousa Limited (previously EFT London) is a registered charity and Private Limited Company by guarantee without share capital, incorporated in England and Wales. Company registration 13459363, Charity registration number 1196573. The address of the registered office is Third Floor, 20 Old Bailey, London, EC4M 7AN. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Ousa Limited 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. 

## **2.2 Income** 

All income is recognised once the Company 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 the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised at the time of making the claim. 

## **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 Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

## **OUSA LIMITED** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.3 Expenditure (continued)** 

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 expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## **2.4 Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 

## **2.5 Foreign currencies** 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date. 

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. 

Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities. 

## **2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. 

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. 

Depreciation is provided on the following bases: 

|Short-term leasehold property|- Depreciated over the term of the lease|
|---|---|
|Fixtures and fittings|- Depreciated over 5 years|
|Computer equipment|- Depreciated over 10 years|



## **2.7 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **2.8 Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

## **OUSA LIMITED** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.9 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 amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. 

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company 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. 

## **2.10 Financial instruments** 

The Company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **2.11 Operating leases** 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of financial activities on a straightline basis over the lease term. 

## **2.12 Fund accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

## **Designated Funds** 

The training centre fund - this fund represents the capital expenditure in regards to the lease of the training centre at 30 Millbank, London net of any loans used to finance this expenditure. At the year end, the capitalised cost is exactly matched by outstanding loans and therefore the fund balance is zero. The training centre is the charity's place of learning whereby seminars, conferences, lectures and courses will be held. 

## **General Funds** 

The general funds are used to meet both the direct and support costs of running the training centre.

The Charity has agreed in principle with the landlord to terminate the lease with effect from 31 March 2026 and is awaiting formal documentation from the landlord. Based on the agreement in principle, the Trustees expect that the termination will be on terms that do not give rise to any ongoing financial liability for the Charity. 

These commitments reflect the original contractual terms prior to the agreed termination in principle.

## **18. Related party transactions** 

During the year, cash donations of £nil (2024 - £2,239,117) were received from entities controlled by a Trustee's close relative. 

At the balance sheet date, included in other loans, is an amount of £2,480,000 (2024: £2,480,000)  owed to a Trustees close relative. The loan carries an interest rate of SONIA pro-rata-die and £324,324 (2024: £196,926) of interest is included in accruals at the year end. 

The Charity has received financial support in the form of a loan from a related party. The lender has confirmed that the loan will not be called for repayment within at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. 

The Trustees therefore consider that this liability does not give rise to any short-term liquidity risk for the Charity.
