In addition to expenditure on activities such funds may be held in order to finance capital investment and working capital. Designated funds are general funds set aside by the trustees for use in the future. INCOMING RESOURCES All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received. For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained, then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charty, and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. Voluntary income received by way of donations and gift is credited to revenue on a receivable basis. The charity receives grants in respect of support services. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met, then these amounts are deferred. Revenue grants are credited to incoming resources on the earlier date of when they are received or when they are receivable unless they relate to a specified future period. Other income represents income that cannot be reported under the other analysis headings provided within the SOFA. Incoming resources with related expenditure Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with insurance proceeds) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA.

(vl Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind Ivll These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material.

MAGHERA PARISH CARING ASSOCIATION (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEEI NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS Iconvd) 30 April 2024 Liability recognition Liabilities are 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. Governance costs These are shown within charitable activities and include the costs of preparation and examination of accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. Grants with performance conditions Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SOFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output. (ivl Grants payable without performance conditions These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity. {v) Support costs Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Premises overheads have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. Staff costs and other overheads have been allocated based on time spent, per capita and activity. Employee benefits When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

MAGHERA PARISH CARING ASSOCIATION (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (cont'd) 30 April 2024 ASSETS Tangible Fixed Assets The cost of tangible fixed assets is their purchase cost, together with any incidental costs of acquisition. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual values, on a straight-line basis over the expected useful economic lives of the assets concerned. The principal annual rates used are as follows- Long Leasehold Fixtures and fittings 10 % straight line 10 % reducing balance In accordance with FRS102, assets under construction are not depreciated until such times as they are available for use. Where the recoverable amount of a fixed asset is found to be below its net book value, the asset is written down to the recoverable figure and the loss on impairment is recognised in the SOFA. Investments nvestments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at trustees, best estimate of market value. Leases Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the SOFA on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Tax As a charity, the company benefits from various exemptions afforded by tax legislation. It is therefore not liable to corporation tax on income or gains falling due within those exemptions. Recovery is made of tax deducted from receipts under gift aid. Going Goncern The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as going concern. Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty The following judgements including those involving estimates have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements and that have a significant risk of Gausing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year..
