These figures reflect the challenging trading conditions and the nurnerous external facrors the Society faces. Despite lacking core funding, the Society has successfully secured capital and funding for the delivery of activities. from the National Heritage Lottery Fund. Historic England and the Pilgrim Trust for expenditure spanning 2023-2025. This significant SUPPOrt from funders reflecrs iheir acknowledgement of the Society's needs and their confidence in it5 capacitv to execute projects and progress. Moreover, the Society has maintained 5tron8 SUPPOrt from its lenders with the AHF granting capital repayment holidays during the recovery period and con515tent capital repayments to the Charity Bank and Lloyds. The Trustees have prepared forecasts of income and expenditure and cash flow for a period of 12 months from approval of these financial statements which show that they will be able to operate within the facilities available to them. The Trustees recognise the facilities include increased grants and donations and have appointed a Development Manager, as fundraiser to support this initiative a5 priority. The Trustees acknowledge there is some uncertainty surrounding the funrlraising targets, however, these have been subjecied to sensitivity analysis which take5 a prudent view.

The financial statements do not include the adjystments that might be required should this not be the case. b. Resetrves poll¢v The Trustees have considered the reserves held by the Arkwright Society as of 31 March 2023.

Total funds at the year-end stood at £3,887k 12022.. £4.255k a5 re5tatedl of which £1,542k 12022.. £1.982kl were unrestricted funds. The unrestricted reseNes are £1,542k but as shown in the aciounts the unrestricted reserves already invested in the tangible fixed assets are in excess of this figure. Accordinglyi the free reseNes of the charity* being those reserves available to the Trustees for future commitment can be seen to be negative. Net current liabilities are £49,265 represented by unrestricted funds of £570,033 and therefore there are net current assets relating to restricted funds of £520,768. This recognise5 thai the mill site was originally acquired with long term loan5 that are still being repaid. It is the Trustees, long term aim to establish f￿e reserves sufficient to enable a sustainable operation of the mill but until the restoration of the site is complete, that level cannot be quantified.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a 8u)rantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exist5. Mi55tatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the a8gre8ate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic deci5ion5 of users taken on rhe basis of these financial statements.

We assessed the susceptibility of the entity's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understandin8 of how fraud might occur. bv.. making enquirie5 of management as to where they considered the￿ was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of acrual, suspected and alleged fraud,. and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. To addres5 the risk ol fraud through management bia5 and override of controls. we performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationship5.' tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions,. assessed whether judgernents and assumptions made in determinin8 the accountin8 estimates were indicative of potential bia5,' and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedure5 which included. but were not limited to.. a8reeing financial statement dlsclosures to undeTlying supporting documentation,. reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance., and enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims. Because of the Inherent limitations ol an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the lin3ncial statements or non-compliance with regulation.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unle55 Otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. The financial siatements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items and fair value. the financial staternents are presented in sterlin& which is the functional currency of the Char￿tY and rounded to the nearest £1.

Net current liabilities are £49.265. These fi8ures reflect the challenging trading conditions and the numerou5 external factors rhe Society lace5. Despite lacking core fundin& the Society ha5 successfully secured capital and funding for the delivery of activities. from the National Heritage Lottery Fund. Historic England and the Pilgrim Trust for expenditure spanning 2023-2025. This significant supporr from funders reflects their acknowledgement of the Societrfs needs and their confidence in its capacity to execute project5 and progress. Moreover, the Society has maintained strong support from its lenders with the AHF granting capital repayment holidays during the recovery period and consistent capital repayments to the Charity Bank and Lloyds. The Trustees have prepared forecast5 of incorne and expenditure and cash flow for a period of 12 months from approval of these financial statements which show that they will be able to operate within the facilities available to rhem. The Trustees recognise the facilities include increased grants and donations and have appointed a Development Manager, as fundraiser to support thi5 initiative as priority. The Trustees acknowledge there is some uncertainty surrounding the fundraising targets, however, these have been subjected to sensitivity analysis which takes a prudent view.

The financ￿al 5tatemenrs do not include the adjustments that might be required should this not be the case. 2.3 Income All incorne is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amounr receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the company has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death ol the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of è legacy must be recogni5ed when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the arnount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the company, can be reliably measured. Where the donated good is a fixed asset, it is rnea5ured at fair value, unless It 15 irnpractical to measure this reliably, in which case the cost of the item to the donor should be used. The 8ain 15 recognised a5 income from donations and a corresponding amount is included in the appropriate fixed asset class and depreciated over the useful economic life in 8ccordance with the company's accountine policies. On receipt, donated professional services and fac11ities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the company which is the amount it would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market,. a correspondin8 amount is then reco8nised in expenditure in the period of receipt. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of £ovenant is recognised at the time of the donation. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment incorne is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme income is recognised in the period in which it relates on an accruals basis. Page 25

Expenditure is classified by activity, The costs of each activiry are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including 5UPPOrt costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct £ost5 attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that attivity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are 3PPOrtioned between those activitie5 on a ba515 consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Expenditure on raising fund5 include5 311 expenditure Incurred by the Broup to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes c05t5 of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable tradinB. Expenditure on charirable activities is expenditure incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the group's objectives. as well 8s any associated support costs. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 2.5 Interest receivoble Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the group.. thi5 is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 2.6 Toxution The company is considered to Pa5S the tests set out in Paragraph I Schedule 6 of the Finance Acr 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly. the company is potentially exempt frorn taxation in respect of income or c3Pltal gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 ol the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 01 the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an liem of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also reco8ni5ed in other comprehensive income or direttly in eouity respectively. The current intorne tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted OT substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where rhe company operates and 8enerates income. 2.7 Tongiblefixedossets ond depreclotlon Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition. under the cost model. tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to brin8 a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. Page 26

Depreciation is provided on the following bases.. Fixtures and fittings Cromford Wheatcroft 25% reducing balance or 5 year5 Straight line 25% reducing balance Included in fixtures and fittings is a picture held at its original cost of £2.500. Thi5 asset has not been depreciated because it is of the opinion of the Trustees that the a55et is not impaired by the pa$5age of time and in consequence any element of depreciation would be irnmateriol. Freehold and long leasehold buildings and heritage assets are held at valuation. Depreciation 15 provided in order to write off the v31ue of the properties to their residual value over their useful lives. The residual value is the amount that the charity would currently obtain from disposal of an a55et, alter deductlng the estimated costs of disposal. The current resirlual values are equal to the net book value so that any element of depreciation would be immaterial. Therefore no depreciation is being provided on the properties held at valuation. The Trustees carry out annual impairment reviews to ensure the carrying value of the freehold property remains appropriate in compari50n with residual value. 2.8 Herituge assets eritage a55ets are recognised on the balance sheet and initially measured at cost when purchased or if donated, their valuation. Assets are subsequently stated at valuation less accumulated impairment losses. Acquisition5 only arise when donated to the charity or if it Is believed that they will further the charity'5 objectives. Once acquired they will be preserved by the charity in order to keep their historical. artistic. scientific. technological, geographical or environmental qualities to such a high level as to contribute to knowledge and culture. A register of all assets held by the charity is available and the 3ssets themselves are accessible to the public with prior agreernent. Heritage assets are to be held for the foreseeable future. One heritage asset had previously been held under the historical cost model however, durinB 2021 an indicator of impairrnent existed which led to a lull valuation of the asset being carried out by David Brown Commercial professional valuers on 31 March 2021. The valuation of the asset, based on future rentBI yield. was El,622,413. In the opinion of Trustees, the value of the asset has not changed since this valuation as there has been no significant capital improvements made to the asset, it has been maintained in a good state of repair and rental income achieved on the asset has not significantly changed in value.
