Its overall deficit of £710,278 which was largely the result of the payment of £575,700 to Krowji Limited as compensation for the fire damage which occurred in 2021. The insurance was received and shown in income in the charity in 2022123 and therefore was a payment made out of reserves brought forward.

This difference is due to the expenditure on the containers at the Krowji site which were built to replace the fire damaged Section and were capitalised and shown in assets in the course of construrtion at the year end and therefore removed from the free reserves talculation. Creative Kernow Limited Trustees. report For the year ended 31 March 2025 The focus currently is to ensure financial stability and to enable the charity to be adequately funded to support its costs and to strive to simplify and strengthen the financial structure of the group. A kev focus is on financial re5illence and ensuring the trading subsidiaries contribute significantly to the group positlon. ReseNes Policy The charity's policy on the level of reserves is that they should provide at least three months, operating costs for Creative Kernow'5 core team,. the reserves continue to be adequate for that purpose.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 21x16 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or return5 adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not Vi51ted by u5; or the parent charitable company financial statements are not in a8reement with the accounting records and returns- or certain disclosures of trustees remuneration specified by law are not made. or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 13 Creative Kemow Limited Independent audltors, report to the members (continued) Fortheyearended 31 March 2025 Respon5ibilltles of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees, responsibilities Iset out on page xx), the trustees 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 mi55tatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concem, disclosin& a5 applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor responsiblllties 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 an auditorfs report 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 IUKI will always detert 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 tsken on the basis of these financial statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience and through discuss1011 With the trustees and other management. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team, and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throu8hout the audit. The charity is subject to laws and regulations that govern the preparation of the financial Statements, including financial reporting legislation, and other companie5 legislation. The company 15 also subject to other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material impact on the amounts of disclosures within the financial statements, including employment, anti-briberyi anti-money laundering and certain aspects of companies legislation. OwinE to the inherent limitatlons 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. In any audit, there remains higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve tollusion, forgeryi intentional omission5, misrepresentations, or the override of intemal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. As port of an audit In accordance with ISAS IUKI. we exercise pmfessional judgement and maintain professional sceptlC15m throughout the audit. We also: Identify and asse5S the risks of material misstatement of the financial statement5, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedure5 responsive to those risks, and obtain audlt evidence that 15 sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detertlng a materlal mi55tatement resulting from fraud 15 higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery. intentional omi55ions, misrepresentstions, or the override of internal control. 14 C￿atIve Kernow Limited Independent auditors, report to the members Icontinuedl Forthe yearended 31 March 2025 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevantto the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the group's internal control.

Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees use of the going concern basis of actounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists reloted to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group's or the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorfs report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditorfs report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group or the parent charitable company to cease to continue as a golng concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements. including the disclosures, and whether the financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

These poliaes have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise Stated. Statement of ￿MplIance 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 IFRS 1021 ~ (Charities SORP IFRS 10211, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 102) and the Companies Act 21x16. Basis of preparatlon Creative Kernow Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. A55ets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. The figures in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest pound sterling. Basis of consolidatlon The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its two wholly owned subsidiary undertakings, Krowji Limited and Creative Kernow Enterprises Limited Iformally known as Cornwall Arts Marketing Limited), on a line by line basis, drawn up to 31 March 2025. Screen Cornwall Limited is included up until the date of Sale on 9, March 2025 and the remaining holding of 14 shares is shown as an investment on the balance sheet on 31, March 2025. No statement of financial activities is presented for the charity as permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2(X)6. A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is achieved where the charity has the power to 8overn the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Inter-company transadions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between the charity and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, are eliminated in full. Intra-group105ses are also eliminated but may indicate an impairment that requires recognition In financial Statements. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the 8roup. Fund Structure Unrestricted income funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherantt of the general activities of the charity. Restricted Income funds are subjected to restrictions on thelr expenditure imposed by the donor. 19 Creative Kernow Llmited Note5 to the flnancial statements (￿ntInued) Forthe yearended 31 March 2025 Golng concern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees asse55 whether the ongoin8 use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any materlal uncertainties relating to event5 or conditions that may cast Significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make thls assessment in respert of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. The Trustees believe Creative Kernow is well placed to make the most of the opportunities and challenges which lie ahead and will continue to take a lead amongst their partners in Cornwall In helping the cultural and creative sectors to thrive and grow. Funding has been secured for the next two years which provides sufficient time to research and implement new income generation strategies. Atthe year end the group held unrestricted resetve5 of £l,Th)7,771 and cash of £480,291. Of these reserve5, £307,186 were free reserves and available for use as Trustees wish. This is sufficient to cover experted working capital movements as well as any additional costs not budgeted for. The Trustees are therefore satisfied that the group will be able to operate within their available facilities and continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, being 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors. cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at mortised cost using the effective interest method, unless the arrangement tonstitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is initially measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest and subsequently held at amortised cost. Basic financial liabilities, includin8 trade and other payables are Initially measured at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. They are subsequently measured at amort15ed cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. The effective interest method Is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate discounts estimated future cash payment5 through the experted life of the financial liability to the net carrying amount on initial recognition. Impairment Basic financial a55ets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objeclive evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of financial activitie5. Charity 5tstus The charity is a charity limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
