## **THE JERSEY CATTLE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM**
## **CHAIRMAN'S REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
My first report as Chairman of the Jersey Cattle Society of the UK comes at a time when we are finally moving towards living with Covid-19 and returning to a more normal if rather different lifestyle.
2021 like the previous year was very difficult with spells of restrictions being eased and then new lockdowns as variants like Delta and Omicron caused increased infections.
There were some Agricultural events which did take place and as a Society we were represented at several of these. Our Field Officer, Becky, was in attendance at UK Dairy Day in September and our National Young Stock Show in October. She continued to work remotely for most of the year dealing with members inquiries and assisting Company Secretary Emma with many things including our members survey and marketing ideas for the breed.
The Board continued to meet by Zoom, something which allows for more frequent but shorter meetings, with work progressing on a Breed Strategy plan to include identifying a “model” Jersey cow and looking at a marketing strategy for that cow and her produce.
A review of the Societies investments has been undertaken by Yoke and Co. and acting upon their advice the Board decided to appoint Quilter Cheviot to manage our investments. The funds that were held with St James’s Place will be transferred, early in 2022, along with a portion of the capital redeemed from the loan agreement held with the Addington Fund. It is anticipated, with discussions ongoing, that the loan agreement held with the Addington Fund will be redeemed in full in 2022. These funds will then be reinvested.
With the hoped return to more events taking place as a Society we feel it is important to return to meeting members face to face and we plan to be in attendance where possible and also to host several Judges workshops which can almost double as a member’s day out. Following two virtual AGMs the 2022 meeting is planned to be held on farm in Scotland.
The inactivity in terms of events greatly reduced costs to the Society in 2020 and whilst those rose somewhat in 2021 they did offset the loss in income associated with reduced registrations. The Board realises that in 2022 increased expenditure is unlikely to be covered by any increase in income however we feel the importance of getting back out and meeting our members again justifies covering those costs from reserves if necessary.
In conclusion on behalf of the Board I would thank Emma, Becky and Allison for their outstanding service over the last two difficult years. I would also thank our President, President Elect and members of the board for continuing to volunteer their time in support of the Jersey Breed and the Society.

## **THE JERSEY CATTLE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM**
## **FINANCE DIRECTOR'S REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
This is my fourth report as Finance Director of the Jersey Cattle Society of the UK.
I can report we have made an operational surplus of £3,583 a fall from the £19,894 made the previous year.
## **Income (incoming resources) & Expenditure (outgoing resources)**
Just as in my previous report 2021 was a year of little activity, with much of our usual program continuing to be cancelled due to lockdown. During this enforced inactivity during the early part of the year, the Society made the decision to focus efforts on developing and running a membership survey to help with the future strategy for the Society, whilst the latter part of the year saw the Society tentatively started to resume holding or attending events like UK Dairy Day, the National Show (albeit in a different format) and the ABAB Calf Show. The Board had, at the end of 2020 also adopted a new fixed monthly retainer arrangement for the Society’s Field Service Officer to enable your FSO to work flexibly under the pandemic whilst still carrying out the core role of assisting with animal registrations, membership liaison and the promotion of the breed online.
Throughout the year, we continued to support the publication of the JT magazine as a vital traditional window for our membership ably supported by our successful website and social media presence.
The Society saw a further concerning decline in the Society’s membership services income which fell by £20,000 partly due to an agreed revision of prices with our supplier. A large part of this reduction came because of falls in animal registrations, with £14,000 of this decrease seen in the animal registration service TeleReg. Mitigating deteriorations such as this will be at the forefront of the board’s thinking as we move into 2022.
## **Investments**
The annual income received from investments held with the Addington Fund and St James Place was £10,479
## **Balance Sheet**
As explained in the Chairman’s report, after last years’ Covid delays, we finally appointed Quilter Cheviot to become the new guardians of our cash reserves from the beginning of 2022. The results in these accounts show an overall investment income of £10,479 down £1,123 from the previous year. This is in part accounted for by the larger than normal, low interest attracting, cash balance created by the realisation of one of the Addington properties in 2019. These funds, as explained, have now at the time of writing (March 2022), also been placed into the prudent care of Quilter Cheviot.
In detail, shown on page 9, the value of the Society’s unrestricted investments held at the Addington Fund increased by £18,566 and the value of the unrestricted investments held at St James Place increased by £5,720, whilst the endowment fund decreased by £264. The total value of Society investments increased by £24,022 in 2021.
Overall, I can report your Society has increased its net assets by £27,605 to show a balance sheet value of just over £1 million (page 11).
## **Legacies**
The Avril Caddey Endowment Fund value stood at £96,831 before the allocation of the revalued loss of £264, as mentioned above, and a £5,000 allocation of funds towards supporting the production cost of The UKJT and the ABAB Calf Show. Following these transactions, the remaining value of the endowment fund is £91,567, of which the original capital donation of £52,965 cannot be spent, leaving £38,602 of available funds to be used by the Society under the terms of the endowment fund for future years. Restricted Funds of £2,521 donated specifically for Jersey Young Breeders (JYB) remains unused. It is hoped JYB events will resume in 2022. (page 11 & note 23 on page 25).

## **THE JERSEY CATTLE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM**
## **FINANCE DIRECTOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **Pavilion**
The Pavilion still generates income from the arrangement in place to provide facilities for the Rugby Farmers Market on site at Stoneleigh Park and from occasional external bookings received. However, with the pandemic still ongoing in 2021, the Society continued to see a decrease in income from external bookings and this year the pavilion was not able to cover its running costs by £551. The Society continues to review its options for the Pavilion and made an annual dilapidation provision of £1,923 (page 11 and notes 20 & 24).
## **Conclusion**
The Society in 2021 reported a balance sheet to the value of £1,046,944.
The board, all of whom are unpaid volunteers make financial and management decisions that are in line with the welldefined charitable objectives of the Society. The Society continues to have a strong balance sheet and has the resources to endure for many years to come.
The board will in 2022 be able to report on its membership led review of the purpose of the Society and the of the Jersey cow that might fulfil this. As ever, the future direction of travel will always be made in the light of the shape and capacity of our finances.

## **THE JERSEY CATTLE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2 to the financial statements and comply with the Jersey Cattle Society'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)".
The charity's full name is The Jersey Cattle Society of the United Kingdom. The charity also trades under the name Jersey Cattle Society Limited.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **Policies and objectives**
The charitable objectives, as set out in the memorandum within the Society’s Articles of Association, are to maintain the purity and to improve the genetic merit of Jersey Cattle bred in the United Kingdom and to generally promote the breed of Jersey cattle and in particular to promote the knowledge and interest in the Jersey cattle breed by members of the Society.
The objectives are achieved as follows:
- Recording and compiling the data of pedigree Jersey cattle registered in the UK Herd Book
- Ensuring Jersey cattle submitted meet the qualification criterial for the UK Herd Book.
- Investigating pedigrees should any disputes arise by contesting parties;
- Holding events and shows of pedigree Jersey cattle;
- Encouraging membership of the Society;
- Promoting the breed through Society publications, the JCS website and social media platforms
- Monitoring breed changes and working to ensure breed preservation and growth of essential breed genetics
- Providing online systems for membership services.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Jersey Cattle Society should undertake.
## **Activities for achieving objectives**
With the continued onset of Covid 19 in 2021, in the first half of the year no Society events took place in accordance to government guidelines. The Society continued to deliver all primary services for members, including membership services and pedigree animal registration. The society also was able to hold its Annual General Meeting virtually using the platform Zoom. During 2021 the Society took the opportunity to conduct two surveys, one which focused on the Jersey Breed, Health and Welfare and the second on membership, membership services and the value of Pedigree. The input and feedback gained from members who completed the surveys was both invaluable and insightful and will be fed into the development of a long-term Strategy and Breeding plan to support the future of the pedigree Jersey cow, our members and the Society.
In the second part of the year, Covid 19 regulations reduced, and the Society was able to recommence in its participation or holding of some events. The Society was able to hold a slighted adjusted format of the National Show, holding a National Young Stock Show in October, and a good number of our JCS members were able to attend the All Breeds All Britain Calf Show, where the quality of the Jersey breed really shone. During the latter part of this year the Society also carried out a review of its investments held with St James Place and the investment loan held with the Addington Fund and an updated investment policy.
The governance of the Society continued with regular meetings held by Zoom which saw the board able to make decisions with more ease and quickness, and deal with individual issues as required. After hopes that the AGM for 2021 would have been able to be on farm, this became untenable with Covid regulations and changes at the time, and so the 138 th AGM was held virtually, with plans to hold the 2022 AGM on farm in Scotland.

**THE JERSEY CATTLE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM**
## **BALANCE SHEET (CONTINUED) AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **1 Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the Jersey Cattle Society’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
## **Key sources of estimation uncertainty**
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.
## **Estimated useful lives of tangible fixed assets**
In determining the estimated useful life the Society considers the expected physical wear and tear of the asset that could lead to obsolescence of the asset. Each year the charity reviews the above to establish if there is any change in the expected useful life of tangible assets.
## **2 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
The Jersey Cattle Society of the United Kingdom is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Bishopbrook House, Cathedral Avenue, WELLS, Somerset, BA5 1FD. The business address is The Studio @ The Mill, Mill Lane, Little Shrewley, Warwick, CV35 7HN.
## **2.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Jersey Cattle Society's Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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)". The Jersey Cattle Society is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The Jersey Cattle Society has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the Jersey Cattle Society . Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The accounts 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.
## **2.2 Going concern**
In light of the current coronavirus pandemic, the trustees have reviewed likely future developments and remain of the opinion that there is no reason to believe that the charity will have to cease operating as a result of inadequate financial resources, or any other foreseeable event, within a period of at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these accounts.
## **2.3 Charitable funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

## **2 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**

Other donations are recognised once the Jersey Cattle Society 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 Jersey Cattle Society 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.
Donated services or facilities which comprise donated services are included in income at a valuation which is an estimate of the financial cost borne by the donor where such cost is quantifiable and measurable. No income is recognised where there is no financial cost borne by a third party.
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is related to incoming resources in the period for which it has been received. Income is only deferred when:
- Fees are received in advance of the event to which they date;
- The donor specifies that the grant of donation must only be used in future accounting periods; and
- The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Interest is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or repayable by the bank.
## **2.5 Resources expended**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probably that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
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.

## **THE JERSEY CATTLE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED KINGDOM**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **2 Accounting policies**
**(Continued)**
## **2.6 Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill**
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation 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:
Website development
20% straight line
## **2.7 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:
Short-term leasehold property Term of lease Office equipment 10%-50% 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 net income/(expenditure) for the year.
All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.
Silver cups and trophies are maintained in such a state of repair that their estimated residual value is not less than their carrying amount and thus the annual charge for depreciation is £nil.
## **2.8 Fixed asset investments**
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year . Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in income/(expenditure for the year , unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried in at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **2 Accounting policies**
**(Continued)**
## **2.9 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.
## **2.10 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.
## **2.11 Financial instruments**
The Jersey Cattle Society 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 Jersey Cattle Society 's balance sheet when the Jersey Cattle Society 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.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Jersey Cattle Society ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

## **2 Accounting policies**

## **2.12 Provisions**
Provisions are recognised when the Jersey Cattle Society has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Jersey Cattle Society will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value. When a provision i s measured at present value , the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in net income/(expenditure) in the period in which it arises.
## **2.13 Leases**
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
