Mostyn Gallery Limited

Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present their strategic report for the year ended 31 March 2025, in compliance with s414C of the Companies Act 2006.

Financial review

Policy on reserves

The Trustees’ Reserves Policy states that having given due consideration to the operational profile of the charity, Gallery Council has decided that it is appropriate to hold a reserve that would allow the charity to discharge its liabilities and close its operation in an orderly fashion should it be unable to continue its activities. The Trustees established that this would represent holding a reserve equivalent to 3 months' operational expenditure plus the redundancy costs of all staff members. This figure has been calculated to be £140,000. Establishing this reserve is the key basis of the programme schedule that has been adopted by the Gallery Council. The Gallery continues toward establishing this level of funds which is not yet met.

The total funds held by charity at the end of the reporting period were £2,934,519 (2024, £2,790,281). This includes restricted funds of £151,051 (2024, £82,877). The total funds that can only be realised by disposing of fixed assets were £2,934,519 (2024, £2,790,281). The total free reserves held by the charity at the end of the reporting period were £0 (2024, £0).

Plans for future periods

The Trustees have agreed a programme schedule that consolidates the excellent work done over the past four years in terms of financial controls and stability. This will be complemented by a concerted effort to increase Mostyn’s capability in terms of attracting corporate and individual giving.

Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

Key risks and uncertainties

The most significant risk Mostyn faces is further cuts to the core funding received from ACW (Arts Council of Wales), in the context of a wider economic downturn and continued cost of living crisis.

Mostyn continues to review and stabilise overhead costs, and to ensure that all externally funded restricted projects contribute towards the organisation's core costs. The process of strategically reviewing all potential commercial opportunities and alternative funding streams to de-risk the funding uncertainties moving forward is on-going throughout the financial year.

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charitable company is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to those major risks.

The Trustees are in agreement that Mostyn Gallery Limited is able to continue as a going concern for at least the next 12 months.

The strategic report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 28 November 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

Trustees' Report

Structure, governance and management

Nature of governing document

Mostyn Gallery Limited is a company limited by guarantee as defined by the Companies Act 2006. It is a registered charity. The company was established in 1979 under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under the Articles of Association.

Charity constitution

The trustees meet three times a year and are responsible for the management and strategic leadership of the charity and ensuring that the charity devotes all of its resources and assets towards meeting its objectives. All of the trustees are members of the company and guaranteed to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

Mostyn Gallery Trustees are recruited according to the skills required as identified by the Trustees.

The Gallery Council annually welcomes 2 County Council officers appointed by CCBC and 1 Town Council officer appointed by Llandudno Town Council to sit on the board of Trustees.

Having concluded that more Trustees were required in 2023/4, in 2024/5 the Gallery Council agreed a list of ideal skills for new trustees to ensure that the organisation has the breadth of skills needed to keep it moving forwards, and the Trustee recruitment process was initiated accordingly.

Decision making

All decisions on policy and strategy are made by the Gallery Trustees and recorded in the minutes of the meetings. Day to day responsibility for the management of the charity is delegated to the Gallery Interim Director Clare Harding. Individual Trustees take particular interest in aspects of the business relating to their skills and expertise and provide mentorship and support in relation to these.

Induction and training of trustees

The charity has a policy and procedure for the induction of volunteers and trustees. When necessary, the company provides training in order for Trustees to maintain appropriate knowledge of their role and responsibility as trustees under Company Law and Charity Commission guidelines.

Arrangements for setting key management personnel remuneration

The Interim Director of the Gallery (Clare Harding) is a Trustee. The salary of the Director is agreed by Gallery Council who make the appointment. Expenses incurred by the Director are monitored by the Chair of Gallery Council. All other Trustees are unpaid except for expenses incurred directly on the charity's behalf.

Fundraising

Mostyn Galley Limited does not carry out significant fund raising activities therefore this report does not include a statement of that fact together with any useful information relevant to the legal requirements.

Trustees' Report

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors of Mostyn Gallery Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Disclosure of information to independent examiner

Each trustee has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee in order to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the charity's independent examiner is aware of that information. The trustees confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and of which they know the independent examiner is unaware.

The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 28 November 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Mostyn Gallery Limited

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Mostyn Gallery Limited (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 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.

We draw attention to the fact that the comparative figures for the year ending 31 March 2024 are unaudited. The charity was under the audit threshold, therefore statutory audit was not required. Instead the charity was subject to an independent examination. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

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 original financial statements were 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Page 10

Mostyn Gallery Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Mostyn Gallery Limited

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Trustees' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees' responsibilities (set out on page 9), 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 liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Page 11

Mostyn Gallery Limited

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Mostyn Gallery Limited

We considered the nature of the charity’s industry and control environment and reviewed policies and procedures relating to fraud and compliance with laws and regulations. We also enquired with management about their own identification and assessment of the risk of irregularities.

We communicated amongst the audit team areas that may exist within the organisation for fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. Where we considered the risks identified may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or operations of the charity audit procedures were carried out. To address the risks identified we discussed matters with key management, inspected board minutes and reviewed documentation where available.

In common with all audits under ISA's (UK) we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of fraud and error through management override of controls and in response we incorporated testing of journal entries within the main accounting system and the manual entries made in the client financial reporting system.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Mostyn Gallery Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

1 Charity status

The charity is a charity limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.

The address of its registered office is: Oriel Mostyn 12 Vaughan Street Llandudno Conwy LL30 1AB

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 28 November 2025.

2 Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of preparation

Mostyn Gallery Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, and monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Income and endowments

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.

Page 17

Mostyn Gallery Limited

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Deferred income

Deferred income relates to a capital grant which is recognised in the profit and loss account on a systematic basis over the useful economic life of the asset to which it related to.

Other trading activities

Shop income is recognised as earned (that is, as the related goods or services are provided).Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Raising funds

These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income and in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including independent examination, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.

Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Leasehold and other interests in land and buildings: lower of 30 years or remaining lease term Fixtures & Fittings: 20% Straight Line Basis

Stock

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO).

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing.

Non-interest-bearing borrowings are recorded at fair value.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Financial instruments

Classification

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025

Recognition and measurement

All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.

Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
