Siloam Christian Ministries Ltd Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees, Annual Report (Incorporatlng the Dlrectovs Raport) (continusd) Year ended 31 December 2023 Structure, governance and management (contlnued) RISK MANAGEMENT The Trustees constantly ￿VIeW the major risks which Siloam faces on a regular basis which relate mainly to the employees and the office at 15a Newbold Street, Leamington Spa. All the projects overseas 8r8 independent projects controlled and maintained by their own boards and Gammittees etc. Siloam Christian Ministries in the UK can therefore not be held r8sponsibl8 for any eventualities which may occur in the overseas projects we support. Siloam supports partners that are independent and whilst we have no direct 'Hand5 On, financial control on how they run their project, Siloam can exercise authority in stipulating how the money which it raises on their behalf is actually spenL Siloam undertakes this control by insisting on receiving regular audited accounts from the various partners It supports. Also, In the case of major projects like the funding of children's bible camps or Christmas parcel outreaches, then Siloam insists on seeing copies of the bills or Ihe bills themselves, if they are not required by the independent entity. There is a small financial risk that Siloam may spend more on raising funds than Siloam actually receives in response to a mailing but thi8'has very rarely ever happ8ned and in those few cases the income tsrget has been topped up from funds initially allocated to Siloam's general fund. Siloam does not actually employ any staff overseas so there is no risk of Siloam belng Involved in any labour disput@s which could ba a serious drain on UK funds. Also, Siloam does not own any properties used or managed by the partners in any countries overseas so Siloam d08s not have a risk of being involved In costly property disputes which again could be a source of financial lost. A major risk which could affeGt Siloam financially, is a risk to Siloam's good raputalion, caused by the physical or mental abuse of ben8ficiari88 or the misuse of funds by any partner which Siloam is funding as an overseas partner or funding agent. Siloam tskes steps to see that it works with partners who have a history of good character who have been recommended to us by other trustees or other persons of authority in th8 various countries where Siloam provides funding and support. Slloam is currently updatir)g its records and building in various checks to ba made by the overseas partners concerning any criminal records of any staff paid or volunteers that they may employ. Also, because Siloam has regular and physical contact by vlsiting the partners, Siloam takes steps to check the procedures and activities of the various partners Siloam supports overseas. The Trustees in the UK carry indemnity insurance 8nd our Insurance liabilities are regularfy reviewed by one of our Trustees who was formerly an Insurance Broker.

Only Mr Richafd Peter Norton the Founder is of Englishllrish de5cenl. the remaining members of staff are made up of Vietnamese-2, Indian Tamil -1 and Portuguese Goan -1. DISABLED EMPLOYEES Siloam Christian Minislries has an equal opportunities policy in respect of its fair employment practice relating to age, sex, gender and ethnic background of staff as well as staff who may be considergd to be physically challenged. EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT AND EMPLOYMENT OF THE DISABLED Siloam is a small Charity and up to the present, the organisation has not received applications for employment from anyone who could be considered physically challenged but it would welcome such applications. Siloam has made special opportunities to make employment available for overseas staff coming from ethnic minorities who share the Charity's philosophy about using educatton, medical aid, social and other relief as an expression of God's love. The staff are regularly informed by the Charity's Directors on specific matters and all members of staff have right of access and appeal to the Chief Executive and th8 Board of Trustees. The Charity regularly reviews its commitments under the current health and safety legislation and carries insurance for employers, liability in order to protect the truslees in respect of Iheir legal liabilities for death, injury, illness or disease of employees arising out of their work for Siloam.

Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) {¢ontlnued) Year ended 31 December 2023 AGhlevements and performanc¢ CHILD SPONSORSHIP Siloam has been conscious of th8 fact that many developing countries are more Goncerned now about Child Protection issues and are therelore becoming very sensitive about photos and delails of children being shared with overseas sponsors. Siloam has continued to f8ature child sponsorship because it meets the need of categories of donors who want to have a personal relationship with an individual child or young person in another country. But, Siloam does not major on child sponsorship as a means of fundraising for children in the developing world. Siloam is also mindful of the fact that many of our supporters are becoming elderly and perhaps unable to take on the long term commitment of a regular chlld sponsorship commitment and would prefer to sponsor the project as a whole in case they are not able through age or infirmity to honour their individual child sponsorship in the fulure. However, Siloam continues to sponsor the foifowing children in 2023 by UK donors: South India- 6 children at the Light of Hope Mlsslon Kerala project 013 Vietnam - 90 children who each reside in their own homes but who are sponsored for their education project 043 Kenya 26 children at Blessed Generation Children's Home project 022 and 9 children at the Lambwe Christian School for lh8 Deaf- project 042 and 2 children at the Jirani Centre - project 004 Peru - 1 child - project 008 Siloam has funded many activities and projects In dlfferent parts of the developing world during 2023 which are listed in detail in our minisiry gift grant supplement sheet {the last page of these accounts). During 2023 Siloam continued to make updates to the Siloam websit8 by taking advantag8 of a n8W outside consultant who manages our ￿SpOnSIbl1ty on an ongoing basis to refine our message and update our procedures to attract donalions. Siloam also maintains other websites which describe some of the Indivldual projects or activities which help to attract a wider inter88t base for those searching the internet. We also have two special w8bsites of an evangelistic nature which are maintained www.bomagain.org.uk and www.e1eventhh0u￿epentistchurch.cO.uk We also have another W￿.giving1sgoodf0ry0U.co.uk website to encourage and motivate giving entitled Siloam Christian Ministries Ltd Company Limited by Guarantee Trustoes. Annual Report (Incorporating tha Directorfs Report) {contlnued) Year ended 31 December 2023 Achievements and performance (¢onUnued) Siloam's voluntary Representstive for Southeast Asia Mr Don Foster made 2 inspection ministy visits to the Philippines viz 27 February to 30 March 2023 and 25 September to 19 October 2023. Don also visited Vietnam viz 11 to 27 June 2023. However. in 2023 Siloam provided £18,444 in educational sponsorships for disadvantaged children in Vietnam (2022 - £20,043. 2021- £20,553, 2020~ £22.812, 2019- £24,745 and 2018 - £21,683). In the Philippines for Siloam's major project.. the Rehoboth Children's Centre. Siloam provided £10,810 in financial support in 2022 (£13.375 - 2022, £13.363 - 2021, £15,134 - 2020 and £12.521 2019). A new Christrnas parcel outreach in Portugal was undertaken during 2022 with a ministry gtft of £1,742. Siloam did not provide funds for another Christmas parcel outreach in Portugal as it was felt by the response that it was not productive. People who had re￿iVed the Christmas parcels in 2022 were reluctant to publicly thank the donors and be photographed raceiving Christmas food parcels as they fett this was 'demeaning'. This unfortunate display of negative aPp￿ClatiOn influenced Siloam to decline further an outreach such as a Christmas parcel outreach with the organisation known 8S 'Adonia'. For the third year. a gift of £2,239 {£1,764 in 2022) was fonvarded to our co-workers in Guinea-Bissau for their third Christmas food parcels distribution. This outreach was very much appreciated by the poor people it reach8d by our missionary co-worker and plans are being made to support the project in Guinea-Bissau again in December 2024. Our winter Christmas outreach in the Ukraine was suspended again for 2023 because of the ongoing war with Russia. However. funds to provide food parcels and other aid were sent during the year totslling £12,500 (£14,865 in 20221. In 8ulgaria, Siloam provided a gift grant of £10,000 (£12,000 in 2022, £10,000 in 2021) to the Church of God Prophecy in Rousse (Ruse). This provided 1.100 simple bags of groceri8s for very poor people from 26 churches. mostly elderly and 600 special Christmas gift parcels for deprived children. Some government run children's institutions were also helped with gift parcels. Siloam's children's Bible camps continue to be 8 very popular oulr8ach to disadvantsged children and young people. Funds totalling £21.063 (£21,251 in 2022, £12,738 in 2021). Camps were provided in Portugal. Poland, Peru, Romania and Ukraine, where we provided funds for day camps to be held in the city of Chemigiv. Siloam was privileged to assist the Siloam Gospel Clinic in Ghana in the southwest remote part of the country for project.. 010 which totalled £12,300 in 2023 (2022 £10.000 and £13,500 2021). These funds over the last 3 years have enabled the clinic to be provided with a new clinical wasté facilily, a new Perkins 30KVA electric generator as well as the replacement roof for the cliniG which was completed in 2023. Our challenge to provide funds for the refurbishing and re-roofing of the visiting doctors. accommodation so that senior medical staff who visit the project can be adequately accommodated was delayed until the end of 2023. This was because we were first obliged to provide funds for 25 new hospital bads before providing for the visiting doctors. accommodation refurbishment. This was all done in 2023 and the refurbishm8nt was finished and paid for during the early months of 2024 with the final grfts tolalling £6.500.

Annual Report (Incorporating the Directorfs Report) (continued) Year ended 31 December 2023 Achievements and performance (contlnuodj Siloam's foundational ministy which began back in 1983, the Slloam Thomas Eye Hospital in Coimbatore, south India received funding in 2023 of £7,520 {in 2022 £6,607). These funds were used to help provide eye treatment for patients who were unable to pay for their own medical eyecare as well as helping to paywoff a 5-year loan to purchase a 'State of the Art, Fundus Gamera which had earlier been frustrated by the Indian Govemment's F.C.R.A Regulations. Our Trustees, as an oversight group, have been very supportive Wlth their skills and advice as well as putting fomard overseas management suggestions. They supported the management in a very helpful way particularly during the earlier 'Covid-19' pandemic time and they have been able to contribute on a number of issues involving the Charity's Complian￿ with health and safety matters as well as G.D.P.R.

The Charity continues to fund 31 projectslministries overseas plus in the UK (Home Ministry- project 017 and our new project 100 - Evangelistic Ministry). Both the level of activity and the year-end financial position were satisfactory bearing in mind the UK is still in a period of global uncertainty brought about by the earlier 'Covid-19' pandemic and which has been exacerbated by the ongoing 'Brexit' issue but it was also not helped by the political instabilty regarding the future. But. the Trustees l Directors still expect that the current level of aGtivity will be maintained at least for the foreseeable future even though many of our donors are of a senior age and it is more difficult to recruit younger donors to this kind of ministy. Many of our 'Cind8r8118' projects have be8n supported by the General Fund which this year made a special grant of £14.356 {£14,461 in 2022. £6,971 in 2021. £7.519 in 2020 and £8,018 in 2019) to various underfunded projects to cover outstanding fund defici8ncies.

This was therefore paid in January 2023 and our 2023 subscription was also paid later in the year ie 2 x £175. Siloam also provided gift subscriptions to the Creation Magazine for our overseas co-workers as part of our ministry equipping mandate. RESERVES POLICY Siloam ensures that it has sufficient reserves 'on hand. in its bank accounts to cover six months expenses in the event of a fundraising or olher problem within Sik)am in the UK so that continued support can be made to our ongoing projects such as our children's sponsorship programmes in Kenya, South India and Vietnam. Obviousty, if Siloam is unable to raise funds for a particular outreach project such as a Christmas parcel outreach or a children's Bible camp, that activity would simply not happen. Siloam Christian Ministries support 31 projects overseas and also maintains a fund in the UK (project: 017 - Home Ministries), so Ihat gifts can be made to UK based organisations with which Siloam is In fellowship at the time. In addition to this, we also have a UK project 100 which began in 2022 with the aim of reaching members of the g8n8ral public with the Christian gospel of Jesus Christ. This ministry is mostly undertaken by mailing packages of Christian literature to unnamed individuals so that G.D.P.R Regulations are not infringed. Approximately 200 packages per month are mailed which also Contsin the 'Good News, newspaper as well as other relevant evang81istic material. In 2023, all projects rec8iV8d funds on the basis that they received 900/0 of the funds which had been donated towards their particular projects. The remaining 10D/o was held back as a reserve to help future fundraising, advertising, publicity and governance as well as any administration costs as directed by Ihe Trustees. Be¢aus8 of th8 rising Cost of govemance and keeping up with govemment legislats'on, this will change from 1st January 2024 so the projects will only receive 87.50/0 of the fund donated towards their particular projects and the remaining 12.5'/o will be used towards advertising, publicily, govemance as well as administrdtion costs. Also, the 'gift aid. received from HMRC is allocated to Siloam's general fund project 001 and not as previously up until 31st December 2020 allocated to eaGh of the individual projects. However, the Trustees do reserve the right to reduce the amount of funds retained from that 10 /0 or future 12.5/0, if they fèel the project is worthy of additional support at that time. Siloam's two 'Freehold' investment properties purchased on 18th December 2017 provided gross income during the year 2023 of £21,540 (£20,400 in 2022, £16,646 in 2021 }. Back on 11th March 2019. Siloam invested £50.000 of the organisation's ￿serveS with Green Pastures CPS Limited, an organisation which helps UK Homeless by providing needed funds with which to purchase properties for churches so they (2n rehouse and rehabilitste homeless people and get them equipped and ready for employment. By the 4th anniversary of our investment on 1 Oth March 2023, our interest had accrued to £7.881.25. By ihe end of the 5-year term when the investment mabjred on 10th March 2024. Siloam received back £60.775.31. This represented a 'profit' of £10,775.31. This total was later re-invested in 2024 with Green Pastures aEong with other funds making a totsl of £90,000 for a further two years at 50/0 intsr8St. At the end of 2023, the total ￿serveS in the bank availab￿ for emergency needs and re-investment directed by the Trustees was £95,150. The current account balance at the end of the year was £22,498. The Trustees consider this is an appropriate amount to meet the continuing needs of the Charity.

Annual Report (Incorporating the Directorfs Report) (Gontinuad) Year ended 31 December 2023 Financial reviow (continu¢dJ BENEFITS TO THE PUBLIC Although Siloam Christian Ministries has been in existence in the UK since 1983 and registered as a Charily on 26th February 1987, it continues to use medical work, education, social and other relief as an expression of God's love, worldwide. By funding th8 following activities, the organisation believes it has a positive effecl upon individuals who have become homeless, dispossessed of their possessions or opportunltles of educatlon andlor employment through natural causes or war. By funding the following activities, Siloam believes we have provided benefits to the public in the various countri8s where Siloam is privi18g8d to operate. Because Slloam has a faithful supporter whose son is working with this family in Turkey in a Church planting programme, we took advantage of Ihis opportunity to pass any Siloam funds Ihat W8 coukl raise through this co-workerfs son. This empow8red a local church to minister as best they could to the earthquake vicllms who had fled to the capital Ankar8 and other cities to escape the effects of the earthquake. During the first few months of 2023, a gift of £4,500 was raised and sent in two amounts which would have been of great benefit to the public the church was helping in Turkey. During 2023 we were privileged to send £7,520 for the Siloam Thomas Eye Hospital in Colmbatore. South India. Earlier we had been frustrated by the Indian Financial Authorities F.C.R.A as wer& only able to S8nd £2,349 in 2021 but after the F.C.RA had been relax8d in 2022, Siloam provided £6,606 used mostly to repay our loan a9reecl to pay for the purchase of an Optopol Fundus Camera. Siloam continues to provide funds to help patients who are unable to pay for their own eyecare treatment. n 2023, Siloam assisted the Siloam Gospel Clinic in Ghana by providing £12.500. £6,000 was used to provide an urgent requesl for 25 new hospital beds required by the Ghanian Health Authority. The balanc8 of £6,500 was used for the first half of the refurbishment of the bungalow used by the visiting doctors and surgeon8. A further £8,500 was also furnished at the beginning of 2024 which has enabled the visiting doctors, bungalow to be completely refurbished. Prior to this, in August 2021 we provided £4,300 for a waste disposal facility to make clinical waste safe for the 8nvironm8nt. Before that in May 2021, £9,000 was provided to purchase a Perkins Electrical 30KVA generator. In 2022, £17,000 was provided to comptelely renew the roof of the Slloam Gospel Clinic which included roofing sheets as well as new joists and supports and a new plywood c8iling. 10 Siloam Christian Ministries Ltd Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees.

During 2023, Vietnam received £18,444 (in 2022 £20,043), used for educational sponsorship of poor children. In the Philippines, £10,810 {£13,375 in 2022) was provided for the Rehoboth Children's Home to rescue abandoned babies and toddlers. A further £853 (£1,246 in 2022) was provided for the Ephesians Christian School in the Philippines which provides educational opportunÉties for deserving children. In Kenya, during 2023 the Lambwe Christian School for the De8f received £7,543 (£7.032 in 2022) and the Blessed Generation Children's Home which op8rates on 3 sit88 received a total of £13,371 (£13,689 in 2022). Bible Training for Christian Leaders in Kenya organised by Pastor Paul Mwangangi received £8,659 (£9,997 in 2022). The Jirani Centre in Kenya founded by Sr Veronica also rec8lV8d £3,647 (£2.632 in 2022).

Because of the Ukrainian emergency crisis. Siloam provided 5UPPOrt for the Baptisl Church in Chernigiv. Ukraine totalling £12.500 (£14,685 in 2022). Further help via Transmission Partnerships headed up by Peter Malkin also provided help lotalling £10.361 {£1,500 in 2022). A further benefit to the public is also worth mentioning a￿ funds which SiSJam has entrusted and invested (£50,000) with Green Pastures CBS Ltd which will enable Green Pastures to provide help to UK homeless people by providing funds so that properties can be purchased for churches to rehouse home1888 people and provide training and practical support for them to find employment. After this investment materialised in March 2024, the profrt of £10,775 and additional capital was invested with Green Pastures totalling £90.000 for a period of years at an interest rate of 50/0 which will furth8r help Green Pastures lo provide help to the very people who need to be rehoused and have a useful role in sociely. 11 Siloam Christian Ministries Ltd Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees. Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Raport) (¢ontinued) Year ended 31 December 2023 Plans for future perlods Since the inceptlon of Siloam In 1983 and after it became a registered Charity on 27th February 1987, Siloam has continued to build up its support mostly from contacting folk through direct mail and advertising in Christian newspapers and magazines. In recent years, this has not been so productive as in the distant past although now as folk are becoming more irritated by receiving numerous uninvited emails, it would appear that th8 r8sponse rat8 for dir8Ct mail are again on the increase. Although we have tried to recruit supporters and get new prospects by email, they are nol as productive as the posltive response that we obtain from dlrect mail. Indeed, compared to some organisations, we seem to be more than holding our own in these difficult times. In 2023, Siloam maintains the number of fundraising mailings campaigns but the average number malled was less than in former years. In 2023, Siloam mailed an 8verage of 997 newsletters per month for 10 conseculive mailings (in 2022 the average was 1,072 per mnth, in 2021 the av8rage monthly mailing was 1,148 and in 2020 - 1,461, 2019 - 1,984 and in 2018 - 1,9891. Because of the decreasing return on our mailings, we plan only to mall around 1,000 items or less per month and not for every month. Our quarterly mailings seem the most productive and Ihose special mailing which are targeted to raise funds for children's Bible camps as well as our Christmas parcel outreach in Bulg8ri8. During 2023, we conducted 3 special mallings for Bible camps in May, July and August and the tolal net income produced from those 3 mailings was £22,484. But, overall the total income for the year for children's Bible camps came lo £31,697 which shows that som8 SUPPOrters have it in their annual ptans anyway to support Siloam's children's Bible Gamps. The amount we spent overseas on Bible camps for 2023 was £21.633. This leaves a surplus to carry on for the Bible camp expenses in 2024 and beyond. By contrast. the response to our Bulgarian Chrlslmas parcel appeal durlng 2023 was less than we had predicted as we already advanced £10,000 to Bulgaria before we actualty received all the funds for th8 year. We only actually received £9,021 for the Christmas parcel outreach in Bulgaria and only £4,791 resulted from our Christmas appeal which was launched on 15th November 2023. The balance of the funds required was tsken in this case from the general fund. In 2024, we plan to conduct 2 mailings for our Bible camps and we will use some of the surplus generated in 2023 to cover the anticipated expenditure for the 2024 camps which will come to £26,000. However, £5,000 of this wi15 not be required until January l February 2025 as this will be for their 2025 winter camp. Now that the FCRA issue in India has been resolved, we will continue to raise funds for Items of optical equipment that we so desperately need in Coimbatore as much of the equipment is over 30 years old. Also we will continu8 to provide funds for patients who ar& unable to fund their own eyecare. In Ghana, the beginning of 2024, we managed to raise all the funds required to re-roof and refurblsh th8 Visiting doctors, bungalow so we will continue to raise funds for the Siloam Gosp81 Clinic which will be spent on updating Ihe equipmenl and facilities available to th8 people in these desperately poor and remote parts of Ghana. Our Christmas outr8a¢h to Bulgaria in 2024 will be sca18d back because of th8 lack of income received during 2023. Instead of the £10,000 that we sent in 2023, Siloam's target for 2024 will be just £8,000. 12 Siloam Christian Ministries Ltd Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees. Annual Report (Incorporatlng the Dlrectorfs Report) (¢ontlnuedJ Year ended 31 December 2023 Plans for future perlods (conllnU￿j In Guinea-Bissau, we plan to continue with our Christmas OLrtr8ach to help peop18 in that former Portugu888 colony with a gift of at least £2,000 and we are also boking at how we can help with a special Christmas outreach to desperately poor people in the Azores in the mid-Atlantlc Islands which are part of Portugal and the most westerly part of the EU. An appeal has been received alerting us to the great need and r8qU8Sting Siloam's help to address the situation suffered by many impoverished people. We will continue to roll out our evangelistic campaign to 200 address8s each month with a copy of the 'Good News, newspaper and 8n introductory letter another thought-provoking lit8ratur8. This outreach tsrgets individual houses but addresses the recipients as 'The Householderf so as to avoid infringing G.D.P.R. Regulations. This is indeed letter-box evangellsm and if Siloam supporters continue lo catch the vision for this outreach. our monthty budget numbers targeted could well increase. During 2023 Siloam continued to mail18ss literature each month to regular supporters. Back in 2020, we tryjk the step of removing over 600 non-donors from our mailing list who had never really responded to our newsletters. We have continued to mail our supporters according to their mailing preferences which is either monthly, bi-monthly, quarterty or just 3 times per year. once every 6 months or just once a y88r. About half of our mailing list comprises of folk who like to receive mail only once a year and they numbered 1,375 donors back in February 2023. This compares with 1,290 in May 2022. A malling despatched on 7th February 2023 cost L6S £985.28 to mail and only attracted 26 responses. This was only a 1.890/0 r8sponse rate which was very disappointing! The income raised was £985.54. This means that we only mad8 a profit of £0.26P on this mailingl! y comparison, we mailed our Ukraine Emergency Aid appeal on 31st January 2023 to our regular supporters using the same material to a total of 1,031 supporters to all mailing cycles except the once-a-year cycle and this attracted a response of 207 supporters donating a total of £12,724.80 which represents a response rate of 20.08% response. The profit from this mailing amounted to £11,931.53. We have been very disappointed in recent times with mailing our once-a-year list as this is currently counter-productive although we have managed to recover at least 2 good donors to our other more meaningful mailing frequencies so we hope they will respond more in future. Both th8 mailings mentioned above concerned our outreach to Ukraine bringing food par￿lS and material aid so it was extremely topical. Even after the 'Covid-19' pandemic, the donations picked up for a short time but then due to the economic Crisis in 202212023, this badly hit our donors again. We will have to continue to be more targ8t8d and perhaps send our mailings less frequently so that we do not weary our existing donors and cause them to lose interest. In our spectal mailing in July 2023 we sent our annual 'Stat8ments of Giving, to supporters to encourage them to use the bank transfer method of sending gifts to Siloam which only cost us a deduction of £0.35P A little card advising folk that they can help us withoul 8nriching the Post Offic8 and th8 N8￿￿$t Bank was al80 enclosed and we believe this has also encouraged more folk to send us bank transfers rather than cheques in the mail. 13 Siloam Christian Ministries Ltd Company Limited by Guarantee Trustees.

This compares with £20,310 in 2022 which represents 6.60/0 of Siloam's total income. We believe that much of this income may well not have been raised had tt not been the result of a donor receiving a piece of mail in the post or an email from Siloam which caused donors to respond in the way they did.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrlctlons on thelr expendlture declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two Sub-classes.. restricted income funds or endowment funds. Incoming resources All incomlng resources are included in the statement of finanGial aclivities when entitlement has passed to th8 charity. it is probabl8 that th8 economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to partlcular categories of income: income from donations or grants is recognised when there Is evidence of entitlement to the gift. receipl is probable and its amount can be measured reliably, legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement Is established. income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impraclical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the 8Stimated r8sa18 valu8. Donated faciliti8s and s8rvices ar8 recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contributlon of general volunteers. In￿Me from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual quirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and retume(f if unspent. in which case it may be regarded as restricted. 21 Siloam Christian Ministrles Ltd Company Limited by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) Year ended 31 December 2023 Aeeountlng pollcles (contlnuedj Resources expended Expenditure is r8cognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified und8r headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundr8ising activities, events, non-charitable trading aGtivities, and the sale of donated goods. expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking a￿1vEtleS thal further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs arKI costs relating to the g0veMan￿ of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated direGtly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned be￿een the acttvilies they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. Tanglble assets Tangible assets are Inltially recorded at cost, and subsequently ststed at cost less any accumulated depreGialion and impaimient losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair valu8 at the dale of revalualion 18ss any subsequent accumulaled depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. An increase in the carying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluatlon. is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has p￿VrouS1Y been recognised as expenditure wilhin the statement of financial 8Ctivities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities. Depreclation Depreciation is calculated so as to WTite off the Cost or valuation of an asset. less its residual value, over Ihe useful economic life of that asset as follows- Fixtures & Fittings 10°/o reducing balance Investments Listed investments are inttially recorded at cost and subsequentty stated at market value.

If a reliable measure of fair value is no longer available without undue cost or effort for an item of investment property, it shall be transferred to tangible assets and treated as such until it is expected that fair value will be reliably measurable on an on￿Oing basis. Impairment of fixed assets A review for indicators of impaimient IS Garri8d out at each reporting dale, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impaimient5 are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverab amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from oth8r assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to 8ach of the cash-gen8rating units that ar8 expected to ben8fit from the synergi8s of the combination, irrespective of whether other assels or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Where investments in shares are publidy traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value wlth changes In fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less imp8irment. 23 Siloam Christian Ministries Ltd Company Limlted by Guarantee Notes to the Financial Statements (¢ontinuedJ Year ended 31 December 2023 Accountlng policies roonllnu•d) Flnanclal instrurnents (¢ontinued) Other financial instruments. including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value. unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a r8te of interest that is not a market rate, in which Gase the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities. with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidenc8 of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If ther8 is objective evidence of impairment. an impaimient loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the stst8ment of financial activities in which the initial galn was recognlsed. For all equity instruments regardless of significance. and other financial assets that 8re individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. other financial assels are elther assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
