achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to the
circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a whole.|Para 1.20|The CIO held three events: 40th anniversary event in
November 2024, Get-together and Open Day in March
2025, and an in-depth workshop in June 2025. The
June workshop featured a comprehensive full-day
program and was met with enthusiastic participation.
In addition to these events, the CIO maintained its
commitment to education by continuing to offer a
variety of resources on its website.
In late October 2024 the CIO published ‘A Gateway to
Daily Life Yoga’, an English translation of one of
Masahiro Oki’s Japanese works. A launch event was
held in November 2024 alongside the CIO’s
anniversary celebration. The occasion was well
attended, with many participants helping to make it a
success.| Page: TAR1 The CIO gratefully acknowledges the invaluable contributions of its volunteers. In particular, Tomoko Mori is recognised for her teaching at the March Gettogether and Open Day, and the June workshop; Michael Cullingworth for his teaching at the March Get-together and Open Day; Seiya Mori for his assistance with background tasks that supported the June workshop. ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**||| |---|---|---| |Review of the charity’s financial
position at the end of the period|Para 1.21|Income for the year was £2,261 (2023-24: £1,597)
and after meeting running costs there was a surplus
for the year of £316 (2023-24: £499). The trustees
maintain a policy of holding unrestricted reserves in
the general funds to ensure that sufficient resources
are available to meet unexpected operational costs
and regulatory requirements. As at 31 August 2025,
this equated to £17,638 (2023-24: £17,322) out of
total funds of £18,828 (2023-24: £18, 512). The
trustees are holding the remaining reserves with a
view to funding any further initiatives to extend the
reach of Okido Yoga in the UK.
The trustees plan to continue to deliver Okido Yoga
education through in-depth holistic workshops, by
distributing English publications translated from
Masahiro Oki’s works to a broader audience, and by
providing ongoing support to Okido Yoga teachers.| |Statement explaining the policy

K Patel On behalf of all the trustees Page: AA2 **Okido Natural Health Education Trust CIO Annual Accounts for the period from 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025** ## **Notes** ## **1. Basis of preparation** ## **1.1 Basis of accounting** These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Charities Act 2011. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. ## **1.2 Going concern** The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. ## **2. Accounting policies** ## **2.1 INCOME** ## **Recognition of income** Income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Income relating to future periods is deferred. ## **Offsetting** There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. ## **Donations** Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). ## **Volunteer help** The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. ## **Income from interest** This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. ## **2.2 EXPENDITURE** ## **Expenditure recognition** Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred. ## **Governance and support costs** The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Page: AA3 **Okido Natural Health Education Trust CIO Annual Accounts for the period from 1 September 2024 to 31 August 2025** ## **2.3 ASSETS** ## **Stocks** Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. ## **Debtors** Debtors are recognised at the amount the charity expects to recover. The charity’s debtors consist solely of prepayments for services which relate to future accounting periods. ## **2.4 GRANTED RIGHT** The charity has been granted, at no cost, the right to publish a book that supports its charitable teaching activities. The right will revert to the author if the charity ceases to exist. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), this donated right is not recognised as an intangible asset, as it cannot be measured reliably at cost or fair value. The charity therefore recognises only the income from sales of the book and the related expenditure on production and distribution in the Statement of Financial Activities. ## **2.5 TAXATION** As all income is received from and applied to charitable purposes the charity is exempt from corporation tax. ## **3.

The description has been updated to reflect more accurately the charity’s current activities; the underlying activity is unchanged. Sales of books and goods include recoverable packing and postage charges. Foreign currency income: Sales of books and goods (from Stock) in 2023–24 included JPY 14,504 (approximately £74), received at a yoga workshop in Japan. The amount was converted into sterling at the prevailing bureau de change rate on return to the UK.

The description has been updated to follow current charity accounting practice; the underlying expenditure classification is unchanged. *[3)] As noted in the SOFA, this is a change in presentation. In the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024 and earlier, only book sales (and a small number of goods) were undertaken, and the related costs were included within Workshop costs. During 2024–25, book production commenced and has been presented under the heading “Book production and sales costs.” For consistency of presentation, the comparative figures for book (and goods) sales costs have also been reclassified from Workshop costs to this heading. ## **5. Expenditure-Support costs - analysis** - ‘Governance costs’ represent the annual registration fee paid to the Information Commissioner’s Office. ‘Office running costs’ include 25% of the cost of information technology; the remaining 75% is allocated to Workshop costs. ## **6.
