DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
- Financial Review
Financial Performance
The company is a charitable organisation. The results for the year are set out in detail on pages 11 to 21. The company returned net incoming resources for the year of £74,203 (2024: £44,697).
At 31 March 2025, the total funds of the charitable company amounted to £2,953,750 (2024: £2,879,547) comprising: Designated £650,000, Unrestricted £2,301,370 and Restricted £2,380 (2024: £506,000, £2,376,813 and £2,734). Principal sources of funding and how this has supported the key objectives of the charity are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
Recent years have been challenging for the small and medium business sectors to which Fermanagh Enterprise Limited provides services and facilities. Changes in government funding have resulted in a reduction in the availability of programmes which the charitable company delivers and increased competition from other providers bas proved a challenge for the charitable company. However, the directors and management consider that the charitable company is in a strong position because of its knowledge of the enterprise environment and the quality of service provided to win and deliver programmes to SMEs into the future.
The charitable company's success is dependent on the ongaing management of business risks and the uncertainties it faces. The directors intend to maintain and develop the business further as the charitable company provides a quality service in the area and through better management of costs and improved efficiencies within the business.
Reserves policy
In order to maintain and develop support to the company’s small business start-up and growth clients in a strategic way, the directors recognise the need to maintain sustainability both of the skills and experience accrued by the staff and the extensive workspace built to provide an important business location for the tenant businesses.
The directors also recagnise the risks associated with the short-term nature of much of the support programmes currently being delivered, all of which are subject to tender on the open market as well as being influenced by the budget restrictions and limitations of bodies which are well outside the control or influence of the directors themselves, In order to be able to provide reliable services over the longer term, the company must be able to absorb setbacks and to take advantage of change and opportunity. It is considered good practice for the company to build and maintain some financial reserves which will allow it to meet future commitments or unforeseen expenses without a negative impact on its ability to deliver services or to develop the business in the manner planned.
The board has agreed to seek to build some financial reserves which will allow them to: ° maintain the fabric of the built estate in good functional order and meet any repairs or maintenance requirements as the buildings age; e absorb some of the risk of falling revenues caused by external econamic stresses; ° meet future commitments or unforeseen expenses without a negative impact on their ability to deliver services; ° take advantage of any future business opportunities which may present themselves; e be in a position to respond to any developing market demand for services over and above that provided from the company’s current portfolio;

Definition of Reserves

Reserves are the resources the company has or can make available to spend for any or ali of its purposes, once it has met its commitments and covered its other planned expenditure.

Income from charitable activities includes income received under contract or where entitlement to grant funding is subject to specific performance conditions. It is recognised as earned as the related services or goods are provided. Grant income included in this category provides funding to support projects and is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Contractual arrangements and performance related grants are recognised as goods and services are supplied. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to a particular heading they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of resources. Staff costs and overhead expenses are allocated to activities on the basis of staff time spent on those activities.

2.5 Fund Accounting
The charitable company has three types of funds for which it is responsible at the year-end:
Designated Funds - Such funds are held by the charitable company to meet the costs of future capital projects. The charitable company aims to withhold a portion of its surpluses each year to help meet these costs. These funds are in addition to the charitable company’s reserve policy.
Unrestricted Funds - Funds which are expendable at the discretion of the directors in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. In addition, funds may be held in order to finance capital investment and working capital.
Restricted Funds - Income received for specific purposes. Such purposes are within the overall aims of the charity.
