New Trustees undertake a formal induction programme, which outlines essential aspects of the charity, its governance, its objects and how these are to be achieved through its Vision and Purpose. Training will be provided according to each individual Trustee's needs and included in that training are the responsibilities of being a Trustee. Trustees are also made aware of other sources of information and guidance on how to be effective in their role.

4. Risk management

Continuous assessment is carried out to prioritise the charity's risks and strengthen our resilience. The Directors review annually the major risks to which the Church is exposed and consider how those risks are managed; this includes operational and financial risks together with major external influences and events outside of the control of the Church. The NEC are principally responsible for maintaining the register of key risks and ensuring these are documented and assigned responsibility within the risk register. The principal risks identified by the NEC are as follows:-

1. The data links between HQ and the Training Offices

3. There must be an improvement in account management and access management

4. Staff require some security training especially in malware avoidance and ID theft

During the year, the management and Directors worked to further develop the risk management system which included a review of all branch financial returns. Tightening the controls of the National Office computer systems was also carried out.

NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF GOD

5. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The achievements and performance are more of a religious nature and are not so easily quantifiable. The Church Activities below do give some indication of perfonnance and achievements of the National church

The Church provides services at 101 locations in England and Wales, which represent an extension of the reporting charity's activities at local, district and national level. The main focus of activities in England and Wales is still on pastoral care, counselling and meeting the spiritual needs of the congregants.

5.1 NTCG Objectives in 2021

- Provide training for all Pastors and Key Leaders

The Leadership Training Centre successfully completed training for new and developing ministers.

- Maintain religious services at NTCG's 101 branches and 32 missions

This was achieved through the commitment and work of the local pastors and ministers. All branches were able to provide pastoral care to the membership and provide opportunities for meeting as congregations or small groups.

- Provide training for individuals wishing to work in Chaplaincy services

The Chaplaincy programme has been developed over the year by the Chaplaincy Director and her regional team. Training has been enhanced by the Leadership Training Centre.

- Support and motivate active volunteer participation in various group ministries such as leadership skills, pastoral ministries, evangelising, youth and care ministries, etc.

Pastors have encouraged members to be involved in local ministries and activities. This has been seen by the increased pool of talent available for involvement in regional and national events and initiatives, especially in the areas of evangelism and youth ministries.

- Organise National, District and Local Seminars, Conferences and Conventions

NTCG were affected by the national lockdowns imposed by the UK government as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Planned live national, district and local events after March 2020 were cancelled for the duration of 2020 and 2021 with the following being held virtually:

National Conferences and Conventions:

National Convention (July 2021)

- Provide Training for all Local Treasurers/Secretaries and Local Trustees

The annual National Secretary Treasurer's Conference was cancelled as a result of the national lockdown.

- Maintain and develop the NTCG Education programme through the Leadership Training Centre

The L TC provided courses for all those who wished to benefit from the NTCG Education programme. This was through distance learning and virtual classrooms.

- Develop the NTCG Evangelism programme

The objectives of the NTCG Evangelism programme were carried out by the National Evangelism Director and his regional team. They were able to hold various awareness events and support training across the country as well as the first NTCG Evangelism Expo which took place at Kings Park Conference Centre in Northampton.

6. GENERAL FUNDRAISING

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF GOD

7. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT

The objective for which the Church charity is established is the propagation of the Gospel according to the acts and teachings of the Church of God.

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the New Testament Church of God aims and objectives, and in planning future activities and making its policies for the year. We seek to carry this out by adopting a holistic approach to the needs of society.

We achieved these objectives through our social responsibility programmes:-

-Our work in the hospitals through visiting teams and chaplains.

-Work with ex-offenders through support and counselling.

-Our Leadership Training Centre offering training to individuals from various sectors of society.

8. VOLUNTEER INVOLVEMENT

The church has the support of many volunteers who help with its day-to-day activities. The financial cost to the volunteers, known as intangible income, has not been included in the Statement of Financial Activities because the costs involved are not readily quantifiable or measurable.

We have not included in our financial statements the value that volunteers bring to the charity through the time which they dedicate and their service to others, but we believe that their contribution is invaluable.

NTCG has approximately 3,500 volunteers who regularly support us by assisting at the services we hold during the weekdays and evenings, working in our bookshops, Training Centre, Sunday Services, Sunday Schools and participating in various community group activities and fundraising events.

The Directors would like to express their appreciation for the efforts and contribution of the volunteers who have given freely of their time during the year 2021.

9. FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Statement of Financial Activities for the year is set out on page 18.

9.1 Income

The charities total incoming resources during the year amounted to £9,560,522 (2020: £9,105,220) of which £8,068,081 (2020: £7,885,722) represented voluntary donations. Donations provided approximately 84% (2020: 87%) of the total income.

9.2 Expenditure

Expenditure for the year totalled £8,210,552 (2020: £8,013,789) for continuing activities. Approximately 99% (2020: 99%) of expenditure related to charitable activities, with the balance being attributed to the costs of generating funds. A detailed analysis of expenditure is given in the accounts. Staff-related costs amounted to 36% (2020: 36%) of total expenditure

It is recognised that staff are an invaluable resource and a key way in which the charity's aims and objectives are delivered and supported.

Page 9

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF GOD

9.3 Balance Sheet

The net Surplus in funds in the year amounted to £5,453,020 (2020: £1,091,431). The resulting total fund balances carried forward were £47,413,794 (2020: £41,960,774). Restricted funds £nil (2020: £1,996) and unrestricted funds of £47,413,794 (2020: £41,958,778).

9.4 Fixed Assets

Full disclosure of all matters relating to fixed assets is set out in note 13 to the financial statements. The last revaluations of buildings took place in 1999 and the valuations were then frozen in accordance with the transitional arrangements of FRS 15. It is anticipated that the value of the buildings would have increased significantly since this date. In the opinion of the Directors, whilst it is clear that the market value of the freehold land and buildings would have significantly increased over time and exceeds the current carrying value, to obtain a full valuation would not be the most appropriate use of charity funds and therefore the current market value of the freehold land and buildings cannot be readily estimated and disclosed.

9.5 Investment Property

A decision was taken in 2016 to reclassify 17 properties as investment properties. The properties were previously held as fixed assets and depreciation charged on them was written back accordingly. In this financial year, a further 6 properties were reclassified from fixed assets to investment properties due to the change in the nature of the asset. The market value of these properties is £12,119,000 (2020: £6,027,750).

Due to the costs associated with valuing these properties it is intended that professional valuations will be carried out on a cyclical basis so as to minimise the impact on charity resources.

9.6 Net Assets

The charities net assets amount to £47,413,794 (2020: £41,960,774). The majority of this relates to unrestricted general funds, which consist mainly of tangible fixed assets within the balance sheet, such as land and Church buildings, vicarages, furnishings, fixtures and fittings, equipment and motor vehicles.

9.7 Current Assets

As at 31 December 2021, the charity held an amount of £10,327,066 (2020: £9,672,270) being cash at bank and in hand. These funds provide for on-going operational expenses and various projects such as the acquisition of new properties, modernisation and refurbishing of existing properties and providing funds for achieving the church/charity's aims and objectives.

9.8 Reserves Policy

The reserves policy of the church was reviewed during 2021. The Board of Directors believe that it would be practical to hold sufficient cash reserves to provide working capital to cover fluctuations in its budgeted income and expenditure. When deciding the level of reserves, the Board of Directors takes into consideration of forecasts for levels of income and expenditure for the coming year, the reliability of each source of income and the prospects for opening up new sources.

It is the usual intention of the Directors that the Company should hold reserves in the form of cash to maintain sufficient free funds to equate to approximately six months' operating expenditure. The Directors have calculated the monthly operating expenditure to equate to an amount of approximately £684,000. This results in an expected reserves amount of approximately £4.1 million. It is the Directors' opinion that this amount of reserves is necessary for the achievement of the aims and objectives of the organisation as set out on page 5 of this report.

The level of cash reserves that is currently being held is £10.3 million (2020: £9.7 million). The Directors recognise that this is in excess of the reserves policy. The excess amount of £6.2 million is being held pending a decision to designate the balance of these funds in order to meet the requirements of future projects. This policy is reviewed annually, taking into account planned expenditure and future expectations, in particular the prevailing global financial conditions.

Page 10

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF GOD

9.9 Investment Policy

The Directors have the power to invest the church's assets as they see fit. The amount of investment will depend on the level of reserves and commitments for the year. The Church's main method of investing its surplus reserves is through the purchase or lease of buildings and converting them into places of worship in order to carry out its aim in furthering the Gospel. All investment options take into account the risk factor. Other options will be considered and the Church reserves the right to determine the investment options it so wishes and review them from time to time. As provided in the Memorandum of Association, the Directors may invest the monies of the Company not immediately required for its purposes in or upon such investments as may be thought fit, subject to the conditions and consents as may be imposed or required by law.

10. PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The Church is committed to improving its ability to be a learning organisation, accountable for its actions and able to meet high standards of public and stakeholder reporting. The coming year will see further developments in these areas, in which the charity has plans to develop and extend its service to its member congregations and the local community.

The church has set out its core objectives and has added Mission & Ministry: Christ-Centred to its objectives to provide an outline strategic framework for the local branches of NTCG:

11. THE NATIONAL CHURCH

As one of the largest national black majority Churches in the UK, NTCG continues to provide valuable services to the communities through its various ministries.

11.1 Membership

The organisation's membership and adherents are provided for through NTCG's 137 branches/missions nationwide. Growth continues to be more evident in certain parts of the country more than others. We continue to examine how we can assist smaller churches to grow.

New Testament Church of God England and Wales's membership is currently around 10,000. The number of adherents and friends who continue to support the programmes and ministries of the church throughout England and Wales ranges between 30,000 and 40,000.

11.2 Church Activity

NTCG's membership and supporters reflect the sterling work of our Ministers and Volunteer workers.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions continuing into 2021, there was a continued lack of branch activity.

As with 2020, staffing levels at National Office remained depleted, due to furlough not ending until the 30 September 2021. The new online reporting system was also not yet operational for 2021.

Page 11

NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF GOD

His appreciation is also extended to all Directors of Departments, District Overseers, Local Pastors, District Administrators, Local Secretaries, Officers and every member of the Church for their support and co-operation during the past year.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF GOD

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of New Testament Church of God (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Page 15

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF GOD

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Charities Act 2011, United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and relevant Taxation legislation.

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be the override of controls by management and the understatement of incoming resources. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing meeting minutes, regulatory correspondence and professional fees, detailed substantive testing on the completeness of income, and reviewing accounting estimates for biases. We will also review the regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

These inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misstatement resulting from fraud as this may involve sophisticated schemes designed to avoid detection, including deliberate failure to record transactions, collusion or the provision of intentional misrepresentations.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF GOD

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF GOD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

New Testament Church of God is a charity, registered in England and Wales. The charity's number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. The charity is incorporated in England and Wales and the company number can be found on the Company Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

Preparation of consolidated financial statements

The financial statements are prepared from the accounting records of the national head office together with the branch returns submitted by the Charity's 101 churches. Missions, which are not consolidated, are controlled by a parent church and do not maintain separate accounting records. Each church is responsible for maintaining its own basic accounting records and have separate management or bank accounts. All branch returns are prepared on a receipts and payments basis. The majority of church income is derived from voluntary donations, which, by their nature, cannot be otherwise accounted for. The financial statements now being presented have been prepared from records available. It is the opinion of the Directors that this basis of preparation is not materially different from preparing the accounts on the accrual basis.

Significant judgements and estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed within the individual accounting policies below

Going concern

At the time of approving the accounts, 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 accounts.

Tithes, offerings, gifts, and fundraising

Credit is taken for income from tithes, offerings, gifts and fundraising on a receipts basis, as only once the cash has been received do the Directors believe the three recognition criteria of entitlement, measurement and certainty have been achieved.

Gift aid reclaims on donations are accounted for on an accrual basis. The value of claims submitted and received as paid up to the date of signing have been accrued within debtors (note 15).

Registration Fees

The company accounts for its income from Convention and Conference registration fees on an accrual basis. Income is recognised once the conference has been held and entitlement is assured.

Grants Receivable

Credit is taken for available grants in the year of receipt, when the Church becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.

Page 22

NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF GOD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tithes, offerings, gifts, and fundraising

Government grant income is recognised once the charity has received a formal offer of funding in writing, unless performance conditions required deferral of the amount.

Other Income

All other categories of income are accounted for in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Church is entitled to the income and the income amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred for head office expenditure and on a payments basis for branches. Expenditure includes VAT which cannot be recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income.

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.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity.

Costs that are directly attributable are allocated on a charitable activity basis and support costs then added. The Head Office administration and office support costs are apportioned to the charitable activities on the following basis:

Central Administration costs (excluding insurance) based upon approximate transactional volumes. 50% National Office

25% Youth department

25% Women's department Insurance 20% National Office 20% Youth & Christian Education department 20% Women's Ministries department 20% Men's Ministries department 20% Theological Education & Training department

Fund Accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Directors in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Directors for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Land and Buildings - 2% on cost - Church Furnishings 20% on reducing balance - Fixtures, Fittings and Equipme nt 20% on reducing balance Motor vehicles - 20% on cost

Page 23

NEW TESTAMENT CHURCH OF GOD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The selection of these residual values and estimated lives requires the exercise of judgement. The directors are required to assess whether there is an indication of impairment to the carrying value of assets. In making that assessment, judgements are made in estimating value in use. The directors consider that the individual carrying values of assets are supportable by their value in use. Land is not depreciated. Assets with an individual value of less than £500 are written off to the Statement of Financial Activity as incurred.

Investment property

Investment properties are shown at their fair value as at the year end with any change in value recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. The Charity will obtain professional valuations for these properties on a cyclical basis so as to minimise the impact on the charity resources.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Assets acquired under finance leases or hire purchase contracts are capitalised as tangible assets and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. The value capitalised is equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments agreed under the terms of the lease. Finance charges and interest are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities in constant proportion to the remaining balance of capital repayments or net obligations outstanding. Operating lease rentals are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the lease terms.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

Pension contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they occur. These contributions are invested separately from the Company's assets. Any prepaid or outstanding contributions are presented separately within the debtors or creditors note respectively.

Financial instruments

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less.

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income under administrative expenses.

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 entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities.

Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the profit and loss account. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments

Where the contractual terms of share capital do not have any terms meeting the definition of a financial liability then this is classed as an equity instrument. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity.

Members' Liability

The company is limited by guarantee and every member of the association undertakes to contribute an amount not exceeding £2 in the event of a deficiency arising on a liquidation of the Company during their membership or within one year of the cessation of their membership
