COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The Committee of Management submit to the meeting their Report and Statement of Accounts duly audited for the year ended 31st December 2025. The Committee of Management are the Trustees of Edradour Housing Association.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)".
Objectives and activities
The charity's objective and principal activity is to provide housing and associated amenities for elderly persons of limited means in the Burgh of Arbroath and elsewhere in the County of Angus. The Association provides 68 such houses in three streets in Arbroath, Edradour Gardens, Alveston Gardens, and Harry Nicoll Gardens.
Public benefit
The Committee of Management have paid due regard to guidance issued by the The Scottish Charity Regulator in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
In the period under review, the properties were almost continually let at rents which compare favourably with local authority and other publicly funded housing. The Committee of Management believe that the properties are well maintained and there is a waiting list of approximately 112 applications for the houses.
The Association complies with the Scottish Quality Housing Standards 2015 and the Energy Efficiency Standard for Social Housing applicable from 2020.
During 2025, the Association undertook a rigorous assessment process of the energy efficiency needs, focussing initially on the 12 houses at Harry Nicoll Gardens which had older style electric heating. Consultants advised that gas central heating was the best option along with solar panels. This work was completed and included upgrades to insulation, raising the properties from a level D Energy Efficiency to a Level A, and from level E Environmental Impact to level B.
In addition, the consultants were engaged to undertake surveys of the houses at Edradour Gardens and work on these properties is ongoing in the current year.

COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Financial review
The results for the year are detailed in the Statement of Financial Activities and the notes to the accounts.
Total income for the year increased to £197,119 (2024: £191,140), comprising rental income of £152,803 and investment income of £44,316.
Expenditure increased to £459,146 (2024: £238,161), primarily due to significant maintenance and energy efficiency improvement works undertaken at Harry Nicoll Gardens. Maintenance and improvement expenditure totalled £380,012 compared with £153,201 in the previous year.
As a result, the Charity recorded a deficit before investment gains of £262,027 (2024: deficit £47,021). The investment portfolio performed strongly during the year, generating gains of £276,627 (2024: £178,179), resulting in an overall surplus for the year of £14,600 (2024: £131,158).
The Charity's investment portfolio increased in value to £2,895,271 at 31 December 2025 (2024: £2,727,776), while total funds increased to £4,106,875 (2024: £4,092,275). Cash balances at the year end were £64,148 (2024: £225,801), reflecting the significant investment in property improvements during the year.
The Committee of Management considers the Association's financial position to remain strong and is satisfied that its reserves and investment portfolio provide adequate resources to support future maintenance commitments and the continued delivery of its charitable objectives.
Reserves policy
The reserves of the Association originate from the original capital benefactions and donations together with the growth in value of the investments. The Committee of Management have adopted a reserve policy that ensures the continuing ability of the Association to meet its objectives. Some reserves are designated to meet maintenance and improvement costs of the properties whilst, in previous years, other reserves are designated based on the gains and losses on disposal of investments.
Investment policy
The primary objective is to balance income and capital growth on a moderately to adventurous basis, using a total returns model.
Major risks
Risk Management
The Committee of Management have assessed the major risks to which the Association is exposed, and particularly those related to the management of its properties and investments. The properties are insured on a valuation basis as advised by Murray Petrie, Chartered Surveyor and member of the Committee of Management, on an annual basis. The Association is registered as a Landlord with Angus Council and complies with all relevant legislation.
The Committee of Management believe that the investment risk to which the Association is exposed is acceptable in the context of the Association's overall financial position. The investments are held in a diversified portfolio managed by professional investment managers. The portfolio is exposed to market, credit, currency and interest rate risks. The Committee of Management manage these risks through regular review of the investment arrangements and the performance of the investment manager.
Plans for future periods
The Association has no plans for future development at present but would consider opportunities if they presented themselves. In the meantime, the Committee is focussed on improving the current housing stock to provide comfortable, affordable homes for the long-term benefit of the people of Arbroath.

-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT OF EDRADOUR HOUSING ASSOCIATION
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Edradour Housing Association (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 24 to the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Committee of Management use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Committee of Management with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Committee of Management are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT OF EDRADOUR HOUSING ASSOCIATION
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Committee of Management report; or
-
proper accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of Committee of Management
As explained more fully in the statement of Committee of Management responsibilities, the Committee of Management are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Committee of Management determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Committee of Management are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Committee of Management either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
At the planning stage, we assess the risk of material misstatement and any such irregularities and design audit procedures tailored to these risks which will be followed to ensure that we are capable of meeting our responsibilities in this area. Factors relevant to our assessment, which have a positive impact on the capability of our procedures to detect such irregularities, are the size of the entity, the complexity of the entity's operations and our understanding of their regulatory and control environments.
. Staff working on this audit assignment have been fully briefed in relation to the charity's activities, including the regulatory regime in which they operate.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.

EDRADOUR HOUSING ASSOCIATION
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE COMMITTEE OF MANAGEMENT OF EDRADOUR HOUSING ASSOCIATION
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Committee of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting council's website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditors responsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Edradour Housing Association was registered under the Industrial and Provident Societies Act 1893 on 14th December 1956 (Registered No: 1328R.Angus) and operates under rules amended by Extraordinary General Meeting of the Association held on the 20th August 2004.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of investments to market value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern

1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accrual basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.
-
Charitable Activities include all expenditure in relation to providing the properties for rent including insurance and factoring charges.
-
Investment Management Costs are those fees charged in relation to Portfolio Management.
-
Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with the constitutional and statutory requirements.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
| 1-36 | Edradour Gardens | Nil |
|---|---|---|
| 1-20 | Alveston Gardens | Nil |
| 1-12 | Harry Nicoll Gardens | Nil |
No depreciation is provided on the housing properties as the residual values and estimated useful lives are such that any depreciation would not be material. Provision will be made should any permanent diminution in the value of these properties occur, such provision being based on the subsequent valuation.
The Maintenance and Improvement Reserve is utilised to ensure that the properties are maintained at their current standards.
1.7 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.10 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with 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.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans 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 payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts 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 creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Committee of Management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount 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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
