Report of the trustees
for the year ended 30 November 2021
The trustees present their report along with the financial statements of The Band Aid Charitable Trust (‘Band Aid’ or ‘the charity’) for the year ended 30 November 2021. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Objectives and Activities
The Band Aid Charitable Trust was established by the current trustees to administer the funds generated from the sales of the single 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' which was written by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money in response to the Ethiopian famine of 1984.
The Trust was also used to collect the donations pledged by the millions of people worldwide who watched the Live Aid concerts in London and Philadelphia in July 1985.
In 2004 the charity sold the DVD rights of the Live Aid concerts to a third party, via its 100% subsidiary Band Aid Trading Limited (formerly Woodcharm Limited). The DVD was released in advance of the 20th anniversary of the concerts. No income was received from the Live Aid DVD in this period.
The charity single “Do They Know it’s Christmas?” was re-recorded and released in November 2004 through Band Aid Trading Limited, under the name of ‘Band Aid 20'. This has created a further source of income for the company in the form of sales and publishing royalties, which are distributed to Band Aid under the Gift Aid scheme.
The 20th anniversary of Live Aid in 2005 coincided with the G8 summit in Scotland, and the trustees felt that this presented an opportunity to lend support to the Make Poverty History campaign, which aims to compel rich countries to fulfil their obligations and promises to help eradicate poverty by calling for urgent and meaningful policy change on the three inextricably linked areas of trade, debt and aid. On Saturday 2 July 2005, 10 concerts took place across the globe under the banner of ‘Live 8.’ People were asked to lend their support to the Make Poverty History campaign by adding their names to a list that would be presented to Tony Blair, as chair of the G8. The Live 8 concerts were watched by an estimated 3 billion people. Whilst these concerts were free to the public, income was generated from a text lottery, sponsorship and merchandising.
Again, Band Aid Trading Limited was used to contract with a third party to release various DVD’s of the Live 8 concerts, in order to generate another source of income for the company in the form of sales and publishing royalties, which are also distributed to Band Aid under the Gift Aid scheme. No income was received from the Live 8 DVD’s in this period.
In November 2014, the trustees were once again moved to take action to support the poor of Africa; this time to raise funds to fight the spread of the Ebola virus which had already claimed the lives of thousands of people in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia, and to raise international awareness of the crisis to encourage governments to take immediate action. A new group of current artists and musicians were enlisted by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to re-record “Do They Know it’s Christmas?” under the banner of Band Aid 30 with the aim of raising funds for the campaign from sales of the single. Online and SMS donation facilities were also set up for members of the public to donate directly to the Band Aid 30 campaign.
The Band Aid 30 single was released on 17 November 2014, reaching Number 1 in the charts in 69 countries.
Within two months following the release of the Band Aid 30 single, Band Aid had awarded grants in excess of £1.9m to a variety of projects in West Africa to help fight the spread of Ebola and help those affected by the disease. In the period to 30 November 2021, Band Aid awarded grants totalling £nil (2020: £150,000) from the Band Aid 30 fund to support ongoing Ebola related projects.
In 2019, the charity made digital tracks and footage of the Live Aid and Live 8 concerts available for streaming to the public across various platforms, via Band Aid Trading Limited. This has created another new income stream for the charity. In the period to 30 November 2021, income from streaming revenues totalled £455,794 (2020: £344,146).

The Band Aid Charitable Trust
Report of the trustees for the year ended 30 November 2021
Objectives and Activities (continued)
The trustees wish to thank all of those who continue to give so generously and contribute towards achieving the objectives of the Trust. Total income of the Trust since inception is £141m (US$ 217m).
Since 1985 funds have been provided on an ongoing basis for long term development projects and emergency aid. The majority of funds originally raised were spent on projects in Ethiopia and Sudan, where the threat of famine was at its worst. Over the years, Band Aid has continued to support projects that benefit the poorest and most vulnerable in Africa.
The trustees favour long term projects where a contribution from Band Aid will make a lasting difference to the lives of the beneficiaries. Where possible, projects funded include the participation of the local communities so that activities can be tailored to address specific needs and to ensure that the benefits arising continue long after implementation has ceased. The trustees also believe that projects funded should have the potential for wider impact, for example, through the spread of an approach, technology or practice, and through influencing other persons, agencies and governments.
The main objective for the year was to continue to apply the income received by Band Aid and its trading subsidiaries in line with the charity’s objects for each fund.
Band Aid Trading Limited has continued to receive royalty income from the Band Aid 20 and Band Aid 30 singles, and streaming revenues. Band Aid continues to receive royalties from sales of the original recording of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and from licensing clips of the Live Aid concert, directly.
The charity also received voluntary donations from individuals and corporate donors totalling £10,118 (2020: £9,864).
Surplus cash balances held, awaiting investment in charitable projects, placed on short term deposit, also contributed to the charity’s income, although investment income in the period is minimal due to the low interest rates currently available.
Grant making policies
The trustees' policy is to consider all applications received and to choose those projects that meet the Trust's general charitable objectives.
Band Aid has developed a rapid funding mechanism which is designed to efficiently manage the grant making process and provide quick decisions to organisations by reconciling their needs and those of the intended beneficiaries to the Trust’s requirements in advance of receiving a final funding application for consideration.
Income received has continued to be granted to various organisations who implement projects in Africa, via the established funding process.
Achievements and Performance
Charitable activities
During the year, the trustees authorised grants totalling £905,060 (2020: £981,064) to other charitable organisations for projects in Africa. Of this amount, £nil (2020: £150,000) was awarded from restricted funds as part of the Band Aid 30 campaign. The balance of £905,060 (2020: £831,064) was awarded from general funds to a selection of projects in Ethiopia.

Report of the trustees
for the year ended 30 November 2021 (continued)
Achievements and Performance (continued)
Tigray emergency
The majority of grants in the period were awarded to support emergency relief projects for those affected by the conflict in Tigray, Ethiopia.
Given the complexity and scale of the humanitarian response, a new fundraising category has been created in the period to capture all associated grants.
Band Aid awarded a total of £875,000 in 2021 (2020: nil) to five organisations delivering humanitarian relief to communities in the Tigray region and those who have fled to neighbouring regions or countries. This includes £196,208 from the emergency fund brought forward from prior periods, which has now been fully utilised.
Activities funded by Band Aid in this category included:
-
emergency food distributions
-
provision of clean water and sanitation supplies
-
treatment for children suffering from severe acute malnutrition
-
cash grants to affected households
-
access to basic healthcare
-
access to formal and non-formal education opportunities for children
-
construction of emergency shelters for internally displaced people
Post year end, Band Aid had committed a further £1.35m of grants to support relief efforts for Tigray by August 2022. The trustees are continuing to monitor the position and will seek to apply funds to appropriate projects going forward.
Band Aid 30 (BA30) Projects
In 2021, Band Aid awarded no grants from the BA30 fund (2020: £150,000). This was due to reduced Ebola infection rates in Africa generally and the ongoing work of organisations to deliver preventative measures to minimise the risk of future Ebola outbreaks, similar to the projects supported by Band Aid in the prior year. Restricted funds at the end of 2021 totalling £202,115 (2020: £94,033) will be carried forward and applied to projects that meet the objects of the BA30 fund, in future periods.
Food Security and Livelihood Projects
The trustees awarded one grant of £9,350 (2020: £314,788) to provide emergency grain supplies to vulnerable families in the Sidama region of Ethiopia. This was part of a wider response for small communities in the region that included a range of activities across the other funding categories.
Emergency relief grants for Tigray included dedicated food security activities for people affected by the conflict in the region (see above).
Health Improvement
A grant of £14,410 (2020: £253,548) was awarded to provide ongoing support to elderly and other vulnerable people in the Sidama region of Ethiopia through the construction of basic housing and access to basic healthcare throughout the year, including the provision of soap to households in the community in support of hygiene and sanitation activities.
Emergency relief grants for Tigray included dedicated health improvement activities for people affected by the conflict in the region (see above).

Achievements and Performance (continued)
Education
Education grants in the period were limited to £6,300 (2020: £180,014) and represents a contribution to support the operation of schools and libraries in the Sidama region of Ethiopia.
Emergency relief grants for Tigray included dedicated education activities for people affected by the conflict in the region (see above).
Water and Sanitation
No grants were awarded in the period to water and sanitation projects (2020: £82,714).
Emergency relief grants for Tigray included dedicated water and sanitation activities for people affected by the conflict in the region (see above).
Fundraising activities
During the year, the Band Aid 30 campaign raised £108,082 (2020: £88,915). Of this amount, £nil (2020: £nil) represents voluntary donations and £108,082 (2020: £88,915) of royalties from the sale of the single and other associated revenue streams.
Structure, Governance and Management
The Trust's status was formalised in a Trust Deed dated 26 April 1985, as amended by a scheme of the Charity Commissioners dated 24 January 2005, amended on 6 September 2005 and 14 November 2014.
The amendment on 14 November 2014 to the charity’s governing document created a separate branch of the charity to administer funds from the Band Aid 30 campaign. The initial purpose of this branch was to raise funds to help fight the spread of Ebola in West Africa and support those affected by the virus. However, the objects of this branch are wider and include the relief of sickness and the preservation of health among people residing permanently or temporarily in Africa or such other charitable objects relating to Africa as the trustees may from time to time determine.
The trustees who have served during the year and since the year end are set out on page 1.
The Trust deed provides for a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 6 trustees. Where there is a requirement for new trustees, these would be identified and appointed by the remaining trustees. The chair of trustees is responsible for the induction of any new trustee which involves awareness of a trustee's responsibilities, the governing document, administrative procedures, and the history and philosophical approach of the charity. A new trustee would receive copies of the previous years' annual report and financial statements and a copy of the Charity Commission leaflet 'The Essential Trustee: What You Need to Know'. The charity’s advisors would also provide appropriate training and literature as required. The existing trustees have held office since the formation of the Trust in 1985.
The Trust continues to operate with no staff or office of its own. The trustees are responsible for all decisions and authorisation of payments made from the Trust. They are the key management personnel.
Documents are circulated to the trustees by post and email for their consideration and, where appropriate, for their authorisation. Any issues that require input or discussion from all trustees are dealt with via email.
The trustees aim to meet at least once per calendar year to review the status of the Trust and discuss any relevant issues, as well as to consider the future activities of the charity. However, matters are reviewed on an informal basis throughout the year, and any immediate issues or points for discussion are dealt with by email.

The Band Aid Charitable Trust
Report of the trustees
for the year ended 30 November 2021 (continued)
Public benefit
The trustees are aware of their responsibilities for ensuring the charity operates for the public benefit and are cognisant of the Charity Commission guidance in this area. The sections of this report relating to the Trust’s grant making and charitable activities set out how we further achieve our charitable purpose for public benefit.
During the year the charity has not actively raised funds from the public. No professional fundraisers were used during the period and the charity has not voluntarily registered with the Fundraising Regulator.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The trustees consider the principal risk in this regard to be the award of grants to third party organisations and the associated reputational risk that could arise from the use of funds by third parties for unapproved activities outside of the charity’s objects. The trustees review all funding applications presented to them for consideration to ensure the proposed activities meet the charity’s objects. The majority of organisations funded by Band Aid are UK registered charities which are themselves subject to a high level of public scrutiny and audit, have worked with Band Aid over many years and have a good track record for delivering projects and reporting to the charity on a timely basis.
To the extent the trustees decide to consider a grant to an organisation it has not funded before they undertake enhanced due diligence on that organisation and its trustees. Initial grants to new organisations are also restricted in size.
Financial review
The total funds of the group at 30 November 2021 stood at £4,908,857 (2020: £3,834,869), of which £4,706,742 (2020: £3,544,628) represents ‘free’ unrestricted reserves. The trustees will continue to monitor the level of general reserves of the Trust to assess the level of grant making in the future.
Following the grants awarded in the period for humanitarian support in the Tigray region of Ethiopia, the emergency fund carried forward at the end of FY21 is £nil (2020: £196,208).
During the year, Band Aid had total incoming resources of £2,098,219 (2020: £3,193,746). A total of £1,024,231 (2020: £1,063,730) was committed to charitable activities and related expenditure.
All profits realised by the charity's trading subsidiary, Band Aid Trading Limited, are distributed to Band Aid under the Gift Aid scheme.
Plans for future periods
The trustees will continue to fulfil the objectives of the charity by applying all future income from the various sources to fund projects that aim to help relieve hunger and poverty in Ethiopia and the surrounding countries.
Income generated from the Band Aid 30 campaign will continue to be applied to projects in West Africa designed to help support post-Ebola recovery activities in the region, as well as other projects in Africa to support the relief of sickness and the preservation of health generally.
In addition, the Trustees will continue to monitor the success of the projects they have funded in earlier periods.
Band Aid and its trading subsidiary will continue to receive income from the various copyrights held which will be used to achieve the objectives of the charity.

Report of the trustees
for the year ended 30 November 2021 (continued)
Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including FRS 102 the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply consistently;
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Band Aid Charitable Trust
Independent auditor's report to the trustees of the Band Aid Charitable Trust
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Band Aid Charitable Trust (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 30 November 2021 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, the consolidated and charity balance sheets, the consolidated cash flow statement and notes forming pat of the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 30 November 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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 charity’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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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.

The Band Aid Charitable Trust
Independent auditor's report to the trustees of the Band Aid Charitable Trust (continued)
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees' report; or
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements, 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 misstatement, 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 concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 auditor's 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 (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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
As part of our planning process:
-
We enquired of management the systems and controls the charity has in place, the areas of the financial statements that are most susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud. The charity did not inform us of any known, suspected or alleged fraud.
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity. We determined that the following were most relevant: the Charity SORP, FRS 102 and Charities Act 2011.
-
We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the charity, including the extent of management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly.
-
Using our knowledge of the charity, together with the discussions held with the charity at the planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment.

The Band Aid Charitable Trust
Independent auditor's report to the trustees of the Band Aid Charitable Trust (continued)
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included:
-
Identifying and testing journal entries and the overall accounting records, in particular those that were significant and unusual.
-
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and determining whether accounting policies have been appropriately applied.
-
Reviewing and challenging the assumptions and judgements used by management in their significant accounting estimates. There were no accounting estimates that would be considered critical to the financial statements.
-
Assessing the extent of compliance, or lack of, with the relevant laws and regulations.
-
Testing key income lines, in particular cut-off, for evidence of management bias.
-
Assessing the validity of the classification of income, expenditure, assets and liabilities between unrestricted, designated and restricted funds.
-
Obtaining third-party confirmation of material bank balances.
-
Documenting and verifying all significant related party and consolidated balances and transactions.
-
Reviewing documentation for discussions of irregularities including fraud.
-
Testing all material consolidation adjustments.
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. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities and fraud rests with the trustees of the charity.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Other matters
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements 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 (FRS 102)" (as amended) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
This has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with current Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

Notes forming part of the financial statements for year ended 30 November 2021
1 Principal accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and are 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. There have been no changes in accounting policies and the following are the principal policies used:
The financial statements have departed from the applicable regulations only to the extent required to give a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice referred to above rather than the version which is referred to in the regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the charity and all of its subsidiary undertakings. Consolidation is on a line by line basis.
Going concern
The trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. Thus, the trustees have continued to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Parent company disclosure exemptions
In preparing the separate financial statements of the parent entity, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available in FRS 102:
-
No cash flow statement has been presented for the parent entity;
-
Disclosures in respect of the parent entity’s financial instruments have not been presented as equivalent disclosures have been provided in respect of the group as a whole and;
-
No disclosure has been given for the aggregate remuneration of the key management personnel of the parent entity as their remuneration is included in the totals for the group as a whole.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
Income
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis and are included within the financial statements net of value added tax.
Other trading activities consist of royalty income, which is recognised on a receivable basis and is included in the financial statements net of value added tax.
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.

1 Principal accounting policies (continued)
Expenditure
Expenditure is accounted for as and when incurred except for grants to relief and development projects, which are accounted for when approved and when payment arrangements have been made. Projects approved by the Trustees, but for which no payment arrangements have been agreed, are shown as commitments.
Raising funds costs consist of direct and support costs incurred by trading subsidiaries.
The costs of charitable activities include grants made and support costs incurred by the Trust.
Support costs policy
Support costs, as summarised in notes 4 and 6, are allocated in accordance with the underlying entities to which they relate.
All costs attributable to the operation and day-to-day running of the charity, including professional fees, insurance, irrecoverable VAT and storage costs, are disclosed within 'Charitable expenditure' and allocated against each category on a pro rata basis, proportional to the grants, issued in each category as a percentage of total grants awarded.
All other costs incurred directly by the trading subsidiaries, including professional fees, amortisation of intangible assets and exchange gains/losses, are disclosed within 'Cost of generating funds'.
Governance costs comprise those costs incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Intangible assets
Amortisation is provided to write off the original cost, less any impairment, less estimated residual values, of licenses, evenly over their expected useful lives. It is calculated at the following rates:
| Live Aid DVD rights | - | 20% per annum reducing balance |
|---|---|---|
| Band Aid 20 rights | - | 10% per annum straight line |
| Live Aid 1 hour television rights | - | 50% per annum straight line |
| Live 8 DVD rights | - | 20% per annum straight line |
| Live 8 licence | - | 20% per annum straight line |
An impairment review will be carried out at the end of each year if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable.
Foreign exchange translation
Foreign currency transactions are translated at the rates ruling when they occurred. Foreign currency monetary assets are translated at the rates ruling at the balance sheet date. Any differences are taken to the statement of financial activities.
Deferred taxation
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date except that the recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that the company anticipates to make sufficient taxable profits in the future to absorb the reversal of the underlying timing differences.
Deferred tax balances are not discounted.

Restricted funds
Where funds are received for specific purposes set out by the donor, these are shown as restricted income in the statement of financial activities. Expenditure for the purposes specified is applied against the income and any amounts unexpended at the balance sheet date are shown within restricted funds.
Designated funds
The Trustees, at their discretion, may set aside funds to cover specific future costs. Such funds are shown as designated funds within unrestricted funds. Where the trustees decide such funds are no longer required for the purposes intended, they may be released by transfer to general unrestricted funds.
Financial instruments
The charity 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.
Basic financial instrument transactions
The entity only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors and loans to related parties.
Financial assets are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs) and subsequently held at cost, less any impairment.
Financial liabilities and equity are classified according to the substance of the financial instrument's contractual obligations, rather than the financial instrument's legal form. Financial liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs) and are subsequently held at amortised cost.
Valuation of investments
In the entity’s individual financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
2 Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees have had to make the following judgements:
Determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the subsidiaries’ intangible assets. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset and where it is a component of a larger cash-generating unit, the viability and expected future performance of that unit. The Trustees have concluded that there was no impairment in the year.
