Techno Tyrone Limited (Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) For the year ended 3 1 December 2024 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 2.5 Resources Expended 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. (i) Charitable Activities This comprises all the resources applied by the charitable company in undertaking its work to meet its charitable objectives. Charitable activities will include the costs of governance arrangements which relate to the general running of the charitable company. 2.6 Fund Accounting The charitable company has two types of funds for which it is responsible at the year end: Unrestricted funds - Funds which are expendable at the discretion of the Directors in furtherance of the objectives of the charitable company. 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 charitable company. Reserves Reserves are needed to bridge the timing gap between spending and receiving of income and to cover unplanned temporary shortfalls in income should they arise. Holding adequate reserves safeguards the provision of services in the event of unexpected significant financial pressures. The trustees consider that the ideal level of reserves would be three months expenditure plus total liabilities at year end. PropertyR Plant and Equipment and Depreciation Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows: Plant & Machinery Fixtures, Fittings & Equipment 200/0 Straight Line 12.50/0 Straight Line 2.9 Trade and Other Receivables Trade and other receivables are initially recorded at fair value and thereafter stated at cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.

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 value 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 were the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods were the revision affects both current and future periods. Critical judgements in applying the entity's accounting policies There are no critical judgements in applying the company's accounting policies. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions There are no accounting estimates in applying the company's accounting policies. 2.13 Financial Instruments (i) Financial assets Basic financial assets, including trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances and amounts owed by related parties and are initially recognised at transaction price, 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. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss. If there is decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
Techno Tyrone Limited (Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) For the year ended 31 December 2024 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) 2.13 Financial Instruments (Cont'd) (i ) Fina ncial assets (Cont'd ) Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated th ird party without imposing additiona I restrictions. (li) Financial liabilities 8asic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, bank loans and overdrafts and amounts owed to related parties 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 receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it 15 probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. Trade payables 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 payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non- current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. (iii) Offsetting Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and 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. 14
