Emily Bentley Homes are used for the residence of those who qualify under the trust deed. Residents should have resided in Ossett for at least 2 years or be in need and aged 60 years or more. The properties are best suited to single persons. Whenever vacancies occur these are advertised locally. When making decisions about applicants, lettings have been made that are consistent with the Governing Instrument. The Charity recognises the need for reserves to maintain its future viability. The annual budget provides for setting aside an amount within the weekly maintenance charge to transfer to its Extraordinary Repair Fund and Cyclical Maintenance Fund. ## **Structure and governance** The managing trustee is 54 North Homes Limited of 2 Alpha Court, Monks Cross Drive, Huntington, York, YO32 9WN. The registered charity number is 16826R. 54 North Homes Limited is the corporate trustee which is a subsidiary of Karbon Homes Group. 54 North Homes Limited delegates the day-to-day management of the trust to its staff. ## **Objectives and principal activities** To provide accommodation for older people who are in need and who live in the former Borough of Osset. The Trustee has considered the Charity guidance on public benefit and considers that the activities of the Alms-house meet its charitable objects and is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS102. ## **Review of Operations** A surplus of £13,258 was generated in the year compared to £3,686 in the previous year. ## **Reserves** by the Charity Commission and consider it prudent that reserves should be sufficient to avoid the necessity to realise fixed assets. The Trustee continues to review whether future income will enable the Charity to meet its foreseeable needs on the basis of planned expenditure. The Charity had reserves of £204,476 on 31 March 2024 (2023: £191,218). The Charity establishes designated reserves where reserves are earmarked for a particular purpose. ## **Public Benefit Entity** The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales and registered social housing legislation requires the Trustee to prepare financial statements 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 of the Charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustee is required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. - observe the methods and principles in the Statement of Recommended Practice for registered housing providers: Housing SORP 2018. - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. - state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation. The Trustee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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 Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Accounting Direction for private registered providers of social housing in England 2022. 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 Trustee is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Charity and financial information included on the Charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

We understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that, in any material respect: - the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or - the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## AACEE Sue Hutchinson FCCA Independent Examiner Beever and Struthers - Statutory Auditor One Express 1 George Leigh Street Manchester M4 5DL Date: 26 September 2024 ## EMILY BENTLEY HOMES ## **Year ended 31 March 2024** SECTION 5 Statement of Comprehensive Income ## Statement of Comprehensive Income **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2024** ||**Notes**|**2024**|**2023**| |---|---|---|---| |||**£**|**£**| |**TURNOVER**|||| |Maintenance contributions receivable||20,150|19,132| |Service charge income||2,992|2,633| |Amortisation of government grants||694|694| |Voids||-|(469)| |Maintenance contributions from residents||23,836|21,990| |**OPERATING COSTS**|||| |Management||8,800|7,995| |Service charge costs||4,218|4,002| |Routine maintenance||1,469|6,370| |Depreciation of housing properties||1,121|1,121| |Bad debts||1,848|-| |Total operating expenditure costs on social housing

EMILY BENTLEY HOMES **As at 31 March 2024** SECTION 7 Notes to the Financial Statements ## Notes to the Financial Statements ## **1. General information** The charity is registered with the Charity Commission registration number 501041 and with Regulator of Social Housing registration number A3838. Registered Office The Trustee of Emily Bentley Homes C/O 54 North Homes Limited 3rd Floor, White Rose House 8 Otley Road Headingley LS6 2AD ## **2. Accounting policies** The Financial Statements are in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards. ## **Basis of Accounting and statement of compliance** The financial statements are prepared in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UKGAAP) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS102) and the Housing SORP 2018: Statement of Recommended Practice for Registered Social Housing Providers and comply with the Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing 2022. The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis of accounting except as modified by the revaluation of investments and are presented in Sterling (£). The financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102. In complying with FRS 102 the Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity. The Financial Statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations, but which has since been withdrawn. ## **Going concern** ability to continue as a going concern. EMILY BENTLEY HOMES **Year ended 31 March 2024** SECTION 7 Notes to the Financial Statements ## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** ## **Exemption from preparing a statement of cash flows** The charity has taken advantage of the exemption available to it under FRS102 whereby it is not required to publish a statement of cash flows. ## **Turnover** Turnover represents maintenance contributions receivable for the year, net of voids and amortisation of government grants as referred to below. ## **Housing Properties** ## **Social Housing Grant** Government grants include grants receivable from Homes England, local authorities, and other government organisations. Government grants received for housing properties are recognised in income over the useful life of the housing property structure of 100 years under the accruals model. Grants due from government organisations or received in advance are included as current assets or liabilities. Government grants received for housing properties are subordinated to the repayment of loans by agreement with Homes England. Government grants released on sale of a property may be repayable but are normally available to be recycled and are credited to a Recycled Capital Grant Fund and included in the statement of financial position in creditors. If there is no requirement to recycle or repay the grant on disposal of the asset, any unamortised grant remaining within creditors is released and recognised as income in income and expenditure. ## **Depreciation** Emily Bentley Homes were constructed in 1955. There is no record of the original cost and no value is attributed thereto. The Housing Properties costs relate to improvements carried out since 1992 which were funded by the Homes England Grant, a mortgage loan from Barclays Bank plc secured by a charge on housing, land, and buildings and from Emily Bentley Homes own resources. ## **Component Accounting** The SORP requires registered Housing Associations to apply the rules relating to component accounting. Having insufficient records to assess the nature of the improvements carried out since 1992, it is assumed that they relate to structural repairs. EMILY BENTLEY HOMES **Year ended 31 March 2024** SECTION 7 Notes to the Financial Statements ## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** The Trustees depreciate the components of the housing properties at the following annual rates: |Bathrooms|30 Years (3.3%)| |---|---| |Boilers|15 Years (6.7%)| |Heating & Plumbing|30 Years (3.3%)| |Electrics|40 Years (2.5%)| |Kitchen|20 Years (5.0%)| |Roof|70 Years (1.4%)| |Structure|100 Years (1.0%)| |Windows and doors|30 Years (3.3%)| |Lifts|20 Years (5.0%)| ## **Investments** Investments are carried at market value. Investments held for the long-term are included in fixed assets. Investments held as part of the short-term treasury management are included in current assets. ## **Value Added Tax** Emily Bentley Homes is not registered for Value Added Tax. In these Financial Statements, where applicable, expenditure is shown inclusive of VAT. ## **Significant judgements and estimates** Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements and estimates. The items in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made include: ## Estimation uncertainty Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses is provided below. Actual results may be substantially different. ## Useful lives of depreciable assets The Trustee reviews the estimate of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date, based on the expected economic life of the assets. Accumulated depreciation of housing properties at 31 March 2024 was £14,459. (2023 £13,338) ## **Fair value measurements** The Trustee uses valuation techniques to determine the fair value of financial instruments and non-financial assets. ## Debtors Trade debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. EMILY BENTLEY HOMES **Year ended 31 March 2024** SECTION 7 Notes to the Financial Statements ## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** ## Creditors Trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank, local authority, and other loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## **3. Trustee emoluments and key management personnel** The Executive Board of 54 North Homes Limited is the Trustee. 54 North Homes Limited receives a management fee (see notes 6 and 14). The Trustee received no emoluments. No remuneration was paid to key management personnel. ## **4.
