MIDLAND AIR MUSEUM

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2022.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006 and "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)" (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and activities

The objects of the charity are to advance the education of the public in the preservation of aircraft and aeronautical equipment of historical, technical, archive or other public interest relating to Coventry, in particular, and to the Midlands and aviation generally. The museum incorporates the Sir Frank Whittle Jet Heritage Centre with the object of presenting the life and work of Coventry born Sir Frank Whittle and his influence on the world through the development of the jet engine.

The Midland Air Museum’s mission is to continue to be recognised as one of the leading independent collections, renowned for its friendly atmosphere and exceptional standards of customer service. Feedback from our customers is continuously reviewed.

Opportunities are provided for visitor participation and interaction with exhibits. The museum has an outstanding record of successful innovation in the use of an aviation museum as an educational resource for schools and for places of further and higher education.

The Museum’s objective is to be known for the range and quality of aircraft, engines and its regional collection and additionally for a continuous improvement in its standards of restoration and conservation and also for the scale and scope of its partnerships with the community at large.

The key aims of the Charity are to acquire aircraft, aircraft components and associated items to further the purpose of the museum and to record aviation history relating to the declared statement of purpose.

Additionally to promote the museum and its purpose by outside exhibitions, lectures, media articles, publications, and public interaction and to take such steps that may be thought necessary for the raising of additional funds to promote the Museum’s purpose such as donations, grants and annual subscriptions.

The Museum has a strategy to develop the skills of the current membership and staff with emphasis on the care of the collection, the quality of service to visitors and the excellence of displays. Additionally there is a strategy of generating greater funding opportunities to supplement the Museum’s own financial assets which will be targeted in an effective way. Our National Accreditation status is very important in this respect.

The Museum’s long term strategy is to consolidate our customer base while looking for a wider participation and greater diversity. Major future developments will require funding opportunities to be explored and the continuation of accreditation status will assist in this objective.

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

MIDLAND AIR MUSEUM

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Achievements and performance

Following 2 years of difficulties and periods of government defined closures and restrictions due to the Covid pandemic the Museum was able to resume 7 day a week opening to the public throughout the year with the exception of 4 days at Christmas and a closure on the day of the funeral of her Late Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, as a mark of respect.

Regular visits from schools and cubs, scouts and beaver groups resumed during the year together with visitor numbers returning to pre-pandemic levels. The challenge for the museum staff and volunteers was to maintain a welcoming environment while recovering the time lost in the maintenance of and presentation of the collection.

A summary of the main achievements of the Charity during the year :

The Trustees are very much aware of the support given by staff and volunteers and they would like to record their thanks and appreciation for all their efforts during this year.

The Trustees would also like to thank those individuals and organisations who have loaned exhibits and supported the Museum during the year.

Financial review

The Museum maintained a strong financial position through 2022, building upon the 2021 position, and continuing recovery from the effects of the pandemic.

Total incoming resources for the year were £220,630 (2021: £181,763) and net incoming resources were £27,367 (2021: £34,348)

Total available funds at the end of the year were £748,219 (2021: £720,852)

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The Trustees 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 charity’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.

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

MIDLAND AIR MUSEUM

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Structure, governance and management

The Charity is constituted in accordance with its Memorandum and Articles. It is a membership organisation governed by a Board of Trustees, the members of which are elected from within the membership at the AGM. The Board of Trustees also acts as the management committee of the Charity with a structure that enables delegation of responsibilities, with an appropriate reporting mechanism to the Board.

The Board of Trustees meet at least six times annually in a formal manner, and a specific training and mentoring programme is established for new trustees.

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

Mr K Dixon Mr M T Painter Mr G L Talbot Mr I P Welford Mr B W James Mr A R Evans Mr D Woodrow

None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.

Heritage assets

The whole collection of heritage assets are not capitalised because of the significant costs that would be involved in the valuation which are onerous compared with the additional benefit that would be gained by users of the accounts. However, major acquisitions of heritage assets have been capitalised since 1st January 2005 and depreciated in accordance with the stated rate.

MIDLAND AIR MUSEUM

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Midland Air Museum is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Coventry Airport, Rowley Road, Coventry, CV8 3AZ, United Kingdom.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees 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.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which the expenditure arose.

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:

Leasehold land and buildings 2% - 5% on original cost Fixtures and fittings 10% - 33% on original cost Site assets 10% on original cost

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 the statement of financial activities.

1.7 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).

1.8 Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

1.9 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.

1.10 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.

MIDLAND AIR MUSEUM

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

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 payments 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.

1.11 Taxation

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

1.12 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.13 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees 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.
