GLOUCESTERSHIRE AVIATION COLLECTION
COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT'S REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
The Council of Management present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2020.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charitable company's g overning document, the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)).
Objectives and activities
The objectives of the charitable company are to preserve the aeronautical heritage of Gloucestershire for the benefit of the public and to exhibit to members of the public materials related to flying, the air and space industry and its associated technology by means of the establishment and maintenance of an aviation museum and other permanent and temporary exhibitions.
The year started with the move of all engineering activities from Brockworth into the phase 2 extension, vacating the site and saving significant rental costs. For the first few months, visitor numbers and income were better than the five-year average, generating around £4,000 more net income than the average. Then everything changed with the advent of Covid 19. Nearly 4 months closure from mid March was followed by very restricted opening from mid July because of safety measures for the public and an understandably significant reduction in the number of our mostly elderly volunteers which meant we had to halve the normal opening hours and not have the usual extra openings in school holidays. All the cockpits and toy aeroplanes were closed to the public. A government grant helped offset the loss of income. Work on the main display area was mainly to enable adherence to Covid safety rules. The Horsa was moved into the phase 2 extension and some other exhibits were relocated as part of the safety changes. This pattern of restricted opening and complete closure has continued, with further government grant support and extra donations from members.
The phase 2 extension to the building was structurally complete by the end of August 2019 and further work has been done to fit it out, including mains electricity, creation of a new crew room and a staff toilet with appropriate plumbing. The Reach for a Million fundraising campaign continued, but has been severely hit by the pandemic, which has diverted most UK grant giving into combatting the virus and relieving the economic effects. Sufficient funds were available to move towards the minimum fit out of phase 2 to be able to use the north end as a public space, both as an art gallery and for education. Views into the engineering area will be provided which we believe will be an extra tourist attraction.
Public benefit statement
In planning the charitable company's actvities for the year, t he Council of Management ha s complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit, at its meetings.
The focus of the charitable company's activities has remained the provision of a museum. After a number of years of being closed to the public, the museum has now been up and running since 2014 and is open to everybody. An entrance fee is not charged, but donations are encouraged.
The charitable company continues to seek to acquire aircraft and materials related to flying and its associated technology, which are of an historic or educational value or interest. Most of the aircraft on site are on view.

Achievements and performance
After a successful first half of the year, during which the only notable events were the staging of a play “Pigs Will Fly” and the annual visit of Santa, the pandemic set in and severely restricted all activity. All special events and outreach activity had to cease and, after the first lockdown, opening was restricted to three hours per day at weekends only.
Fundraising included the fifth and final £7.5k from Triumph (invoiced in the year, paid since) and £7.5k towards the crew room. There was also £2.2k from a sponsored climb to Everet base camp and £3.3k from a golf tournament. There was a steady stream of donations via local lotteries. Paypal, Amazon, Golden Giving and Charites Aid Foundation. The weatherproof shell of phase 2A cost just over £352k.
Reach for a Million had reached £149k by year end and has grown slowly since despite the virus.
A summary of the main activities and achievements of the charitable company during the year is:
| Voluntary income Shop and cafe income Main areas of expenditure achieved by the charitable company during the year: Costs incurred in running and maintaining the museum Costs incurred in running shop and cafe Depreciation |
£ 97,962 24,108 122,070 35,083 8,888 22,160 66,131 |

COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT'S REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
Financial review
It is the policy of the Council of Management that unrestricted funds (including designated funds) which do not relate to tangible and heritage assets should be maintained at a level equivalent to at least six month's unrestricted expenditure. The Council of Management considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charitable company's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
At 31 August 2020 overall reserves stood at £1,337,587 (2019 £1,281,648). This figure consisted of: unrestricted funds £463,708 (2019 £462,747), including revaluation reserve £373,547 (2019 £373,547), designated funds £257,889 (2019 £215,038) and restricted reserves £615,990 (2019 £603,863).
At 31 August 2020 unrestricted funds of £462,453 (2019 £462,276), designated funds of £159,351 (2019 £163,500) and restricted funds of £595,126 (2019 £567,131) could only be realised by disposing of tangible fixed assets.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT'S REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
Statement of Council of Management's responsibilities
The Council of Management, who are also the directors of Gloucestershire Aviation Collection for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Council Of Management's Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the Council of Management to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these accounts, the Council of Management are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Council of Management are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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 Council of Management's r eport was approved by the Board of Council Of Management.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE AVIATION COLLECTION
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2020, which are set out on pages 7 to 20.
Respective responsibilities of Council of Management and examiner
The Council of Management, who are also the directors of Gloucestershire Aviation Collection for the purposes of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Council of Management consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011, the 2011 Act, and that an independent examination is needed an ICAEW member, which is one of the listed bodies.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
(i) examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
(ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
(iii) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
(ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102) have not been met, or
-
have not been met or
-
(b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Gloucestershire Aviation Collection is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Unit 3 Ambrose House, Meteor Court, Barnett Way, Barnwood, Gloucester, GL4 3GG.
1.1 Accounting convention
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102, the Companies Act 2006, UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015 and the Charities Act 2011. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity. 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 heritage assets. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
The Council of Management has carefully considered going concern, particularly in the light of the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic. At the time of approving the financial statements, the Council of Management has a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Council of Management continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Council of Management in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Resources expended
Liabilities recognised as resources expended are included in the period when these is a legal or constructive obligation, committing the charitable company to the expenditure. Their allocation is as follows:
Costs of running the museum, shop and cafe are included under charitable activities.
Costs of examining the accounts are included under charitable activities.
1.6 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:
Freehold buildings 2.5% on cost Plant and machinery 25% on written down value Fixtures, fittings & equipment 25% on written down value
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.
1.7 Heritage assets
Heritage assets are stated at valuation less depreciation. Revaluation gains/losses are credited/charged to the relevant fund account.
No depreciation is charged because it is immaterial, as the estimated residual value of the assets is not materially different from the carrying amount of the assets.
1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) .
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.

1.9 Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell .
1.10 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.
1.11 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.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity 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 charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.12 Current assets
Current assets are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
1.13 Liabilities
Liabilities are stated at settlement value.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Council of Management 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.

The charitable company has acquired over many years several retired military aircraft and other artifacts. These include 5 complete Meteors, a Gladiator, forward fuselages of a Hunter, a Harrier, another Meteor, a Typhoon, Trident forward fuselage and the sole suriving Javelin F.4. The charitable company also has replicas of the Gloster E28/39, the Gloster Gamecock and a Hurricane. There is also a large number of other artifacts, including several aero engines. Those aircraft which have undergone restoration or have been built more or less from scrap, have a significant amount of volunteer labour time invested in them.
These assets, were valued by the Council of Management, at 31 August 2013, at market value, based on insurance values to reflect replacement cost. Due to the nature of the assets involved, the Council of Management believes this to be a realistic basis on which to value these assets. The valuation has not been updated in the reporting period, as the council of management is not aware of any material change since the last valuation.
Had these assets not been revalued, they would have been stated at cost £96,062 (2019 £91,932). Any depreciation would have been immaterial, as the estimated residual value of the assets would have at least equalled their cost.
Recorded expenditure this year and for the preceding 5 years, on these assets is as follows
| 2020 | £4,130 | 2019 | £6,590 |
|---|---|---|---|

17 Operating lease commitments
The charitable company leases the land upon which its building is situated from a third party landlord. Under this lease, rent payable is based on a percentage of a defined 'operating profit'. Accordingly, future rent commitments cannot be quantified with reasonable certainty, however, based on this definition of operating profit, it is unlikely that any significant rent will be payable to the landlord for the forseeable future.
18 Control
The Council of Management believe the charitable company is not under the control of any individual.
19 Related Party Transactions
There were no related party transactions, requiring disclosure, during the year.
