I For tha yaar end8d 31 Marah 2025 FINANCIAL REVIEW Brie£ Revlew 0£ the Charlty's F￿nanCIal PosLtLon Financially we were in a stable position. Our new treasurer has worked with our accountants to put our bookkeeping System on to online accounting System which will make the accounting slde 0£ our business much ea8Ler to manaqe. In addition to this all of our suppLiets are now being paid by electronically via the bank. Due to the changes In the roles durlng the year the bank andate has been updated to includod two new signatories. Income e received a grant from Inverclyde Council of £7,500 and £16,938 from Transport Scotland for our fueL rebate. In addition to thi8 SPT provided an annual grant of £25, 000. During the year £31,000 was receLved from the sale of 4 buses resulting in gain in the accounts of £21, 382. Expendlture e continue to have associate Thembership of the Authorities Buying ConsortLUm, benefiting on the excellent reduation on list prices. Three buses were purchased at a cost of £156,410. VehLcle insurance costs were £18, 539 with fuel costs decreasing to £25, 923. Vehiele repairs were £35, 461. Thls year we had an operating surplus of £54,868. the end of this financial year. e had £310,525 cash in hand at Prlnclpal Funding Sources The Charity, s principal funding sources are from SPT, Inverclyde Council and various 3ponsDrs. Reserves The Charity maintains two designa'Led funds, one to provide suf f icient funds to replace a vehicle in the event of an emergency and one to provide funds to enable the Charity to replace three vehicles each year. In addition, the Charity maintains a General Reserve sufficient to tTreeL at least 12 rnonths costs. The trustees are confident that the funding will continue and that the accounts should be preparecl on the going concern basis. On the face of the Accounts, the unrestricted reserves of the charity appear healthy at a figure of £589, 627. Howeveri these resources could only be realized by selling the buses 'Lhat the organisation uses to provide transport services to those in the local community. Plans for £utuze periods It is hoped that we will receive our Council grant. We will also apply to Transport Scotland for our twice yearly fuel rebates. We will continue to be members of the Authorities Buying consortium, giving us the be8t possible options in obtaining discounts on future bus purchases. As always we will try and obtain new supporLers for our buses whilst Letaining those that we havo at present and look into all grant opportunities. Assuming we receive a council grant, along with our current educational mileage charges and providing the fuel rebate is continued by Transport Scotland, then we will be able to provide the l@vel of service required for the coming financial year.

The sub-division of the General Fund into designatecl funds is at the Trustees, discretion. Exp8ndltura and Irrecoverable V3k Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third partyr It is probabLe that settlernent will be required and the arnount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classif led under the following actlVLty headings: The costs of generating Voluntary income are not significant and have not been separately disclosed. Charltable expenditure comprises those cost8 incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both Costs that can be allocated directly to Such activities and th08e costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. AII VIIT on purchases is irrecoverable and is included with the related costs in the Accounts. No VAT is charged on the acquisition of the Disabled Mini- bus. The Charlty is exempt frorn charging VAT on its Income StreaTAS and is therefore not regLStered for VAT. Allocation of Suppore Costs Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but da not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back of f ice CD8ts, finance, personnel and governance costs which support the charity, These costs have been allocaled to expenditure on charitable activities. Tangible Assets These consist wholly of the Counclll s Fleet of Mini-buses adapted where possible for the transporting of disabled people and fixtures and fittings at their new premises. Fixed assets having a value to the charity grealer than one year, other than those acquired for specific purposes, are capitalised. Depreciation is prDvided at rates oalculated to write off the cost less estirnated residual value each asset over its expected useful life as follows: Vehicles Fixtures and Fittlngs 25S reducing balance 25& reducing balanco Iroaitment of Flxéd Assèts At each reporting period end date, the Council reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an irnpairment 103s. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of Lhe impairment 108s lif anyl here it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs.

For th8 yaar anded 31 March 2025 Accounting Polici68 (Cont, d. ) Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlernent amount due after any trade discount of fered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and cash in hand include cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less frorn the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. Cradltors and provl3lon8 Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has present obligation resulting frorn a past event that will probably result Ln the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to 3etLle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are noLmalLy recognised at their settlernent aynount after allowing for any trade discount due. JudgewLents and key sources of astimation uncartalnty In the application of the counciL'8 accounting policies, the trustees are Lequired to rnake judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent frottk oLher sources. The esti)nates and associated assutnptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. ctual results rnay differ frorn these estimates. The estittLates and underlying a33Ultiptions are reviewed on an ongoing basi8. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in thè period in which the estimate is revised where the revision af fects only that period, or in the period of the revision and Euture periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. Key sources of estlmatlon uncertainty The estirnates and assumptlons which have a significant risk of causlng a materlal adjustTfLent to the carrying amount of asset8 and Ilabilities are as follows: Depreciation Depreciation of £-ixed assets has been based on estirnated useful lives and residual values deerned appropriate by the trustees. E8titfLated useful lives and residual values are reviÈwed annually and revised as appropriate. Bad Debts Bad debt provisions are provided at rates deemed appropriate by trustees. Specific allowances are provided for when it is known to the trustees that the debtor is not recoverable in part or in full. General allowances are provided based on the trustees cumulative knowledge and experience of the industry4T where it is deemed probable a portion of the debtors balance will become unrecoverable.
