Chair's Statement
At the core of our mission lies the unwavering commitrnent to creating lasting and meaningful change in
the lives of people and communities. Now haffway through our ten-year 'Building and Impact Economy,
strategy, we are proud to share the progress we have made deepening this rJ)mmitment.
Building an Impact Economy sets out a vision for an economy. where..
Enterprises will be provided with the tools. support. and inspiration to plan, create and scale
their social impact.
Governments and their agencies can partner wilh social enterprises in a range of ways, to
enhance the delivery of social impact.
Social entrepreneurs can readily access mission-aligned investment and support.
Consumers and businesses can purchase products and services from social enterprises.
Investors of all kinds can make purposeful investments for a financial and social return; and
Businesses of all kinds implement responsible business approaches as standard.
To supportdelivery of this vision. we have developed a framework of strategic segments to set the activities
of an increasingly complex group in context:
Market building: including the business support activity of SIS including programmes to help
organisations understand their social investment options and prepare to take on investment,
perhaps for the first time. and scale programmes to support organisations exploit growth
opportunities supported by social investment.
Communbties= covering SIS investment programmes for charities, social enterprises, and
impact-led businesses, including the activity of wholly owned subsidiary SIS Ventures.
Access to Finance: a defined strategic segment encompassing SIS'S investment activity with
other providers of responsible finance. namely households unable to access mainstream credit
and small businesses excluded by the high street banks.
An innovation segment to provide focus and resourcing for new opportunities.
The past ￿e1ve months have continued to see significant progress across all areas of our 2030 strategy.
This is largely due to the commitment of the SIS team who have continued to work determinedly to develop
the third sector whilst deploying SIS Values.
Whilst the unrestricted operational performan￿ of the group has remained strong in this financial year and
is discussed in more det2il in the Trustees Rewrt, our sucLesses this year go beyond only financial
performance. 6.1 million people benefitted from SIS customers, activities in the year this growth in breadth
and reach continues to be gratfying and serves as a y￿10)Me reminderof why we do what we do. You can
read more aiK)ut the SIS Impact Reports here.
The achievements linked to each of our strategic segments are discussed further in the trustees,
report. However, I wanted to outline a few of the Impact highlights in the year below:
£52.5M active loans and investments in 216 ￿la1 enterprises
£13.9M loan funding drawn down providing growth and sustainability capital, with 956 full time
equivalent jobs expected to be created or sustained through new investment made in the year.
326 Social enterprise leaders participated in growih f￿USed training events with 14 growth and
resilien￿ programmes delivered.

Chair's Statement (continued)
l am enormously grateful to all the SIS team, the SIS Board and our Communities who continue to work
selflessly in supporting and advising the team to help turn our vision into a reality-
I'd also like to extend my sincere thanks to each of our Board members for their support throughout the
year. l am delighted to be working with an excellent Board where each member brings their unique
experience thus ensuring effective qovernance. I look fotward to continuing to woth with them, along with
the Executive team, as we implement the action plan for 2025- 2027.
We are as detemined as ever to deliver our mission to connect capital with communities. to make a real
measurable and sustainable impact upon people's lives. Social enterprises and community organisations
are pivotal to so many in their communities. We see this daily and understand the importance we play in
helping support this tremendous impact.

partnership programmes. An overview of activities by strategic segment is discussed in more detail
below.
Communities
Communities cover SIS, investment programmes for charities. social enterprises, 2nd mission led
organisations.
Our core loan fund, held within SIS Community Finance Ltd (SISCF), provides investments of LJP to
£375k to third sector organisations for a range of purposes, using capital held under Community
Investment Tax Relief (CITR) from a small group of investor banks. The fund deployed £2.5m (2024:
£2m) of new funding, across 25 (2024: 20) loans. Taking this yearfs performance into account, since its
inception, SISCF has lent £32.5 of funding across Scotland.
There are a number of additional funds where SIS is fund manager. Social Growth Fund is now in a
management phase following the end of its deployment period in March 2019. This saw £12.5m
deployed to support the growth ambitions of twenty-hvo social enterprises. This joint venture uses funds
recycled within the Social Investment Fund (-SIF"), matched with the same amount of funding from
Better Society Capital {BSC). Social Growth Fund 2(a follow-onjoint venture to Social Growth Fund) was
launched, with the addition of the University of Edinburgh as an investor in 2019. This fund made £13m
of capital available to Scotland's social enterprise sector. The fund deployment period ended in April
2024, with the fund fully committed.
Four funds were launched by the Scottish Government in response to the coronavirus pandemic. This
includes the Third Sector Resilience Fund, launched to help third sector organisations to stabilize and
manage cashflows during the pandemic. The fund provided £2.7m of critical loans across thirty

organisations and is now in the monitoring period of investment. In addition to the Third Sector
Resilience Fund, a total of £1 Om was allocated between the Resilience and Recovery Fund (RRF) and
the Net Zero Transition Fund {NZTF). A total of £7.2m has been deployed bel￿een both funds and the
deployment period ended in September 2024. The Community Sustainability Fund was launched in
October 2022 making £4m available to credit unions, charities. social enterprises and other third sector
organisations. The funds deployment period ended in October 2024 and a total of £2m was fully
deployed as at 31 March 2025.
In November 2022, the Social Enterprise Just Transition Fund (SEJTF) was launched and consisted of
Scottish Government support of a £500k loan and £500k grant to provide support to the Northeast of
Scotland and Moray to drive a transition to net zero. This fund has had excellent interest with the fund
fully committed. A follow-on fund of £1 m loan and £1 m grant was launched during the current financial
year and was fully deployed as at 31 March 2025.
Our Impact First Funds, managed by wholly owned subsidiary SIS Ventures Limited, which is a
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) authorised, also sit within our communities strategic segment. The
Impact First Funds have been established to nurture the growth of impact-led enterprises across
Scotland, providing access to capit21 and supporling the development of an impact framework for
entrepreneurs. Impact First Fund A, completed an initial raise during 201812019, raising £1.2m. This
raise is fu Ily invested in a total of eight impact-led enterprises. A further two Impact First Funds, Impact
First Fund B and C, ware launchad in 2021 and 2022 r8spgctively, with tha Scottish Gov6rnm8nt as thg
investor in both funds. This saw a total raise of £6.7m across both funds. In early 2024, the EIS qualifying
Impact First Fund D was launched. raising £530k. This provided private investors with the opportunity
to support both the existing portFolio of investments as well as invest in new. early-stage impact-led
enterprises.
Finally, the charity also continues to manage several legacy funds, including Asda Community Capital,
a loan fund capitalised by the proceeds of the 'carrier bag levy,, and the Scottish Investment Fund (SIF),
funded by recycled Scottish Government contributions. The recycled capital from this fund has been
reinvested into both the Social Growth Fund and Social Growth Fund 2, as well as Third Sector
Resilience Fund (TSRF) and Credit Union Resilience Fund (CURF).
Access to Finance
Access to Finance is a defined strategic segment encompassing SIS'S investment activity with other
prov1ders of responslble flnance, namely households unable to access malnstream credlt and small
businesses excluded by the high street banks.
SIS has developed relationships and built specialist knowledge in the affordable credit sector. This
began through several loans provided to the affordable credit providers via the Social Growth Fund,
and now SIS manages several specific affordable credit funds.
SIS was awarded the management of the Community Investment Enterprise Fund ("CIEF") in
September 2017. The fund, delivered in partnership with BSC, was established to support Community
Development Finance Institutions (CDFIS) across the United Kingdom to on-lend to underserved micro,
small and medium Enterprises. The fund's deployment period was extended to 31 December 2024, at
which point it had deployed £37.5m to 4 CDFIS.
The CIEF 2 was a significant development for the CDFI sector as this saw significant matched funding
being made available to the market through investment from Lloyds Banking Group, increasing the
capital available to the CDFI market to deploy. This fund makes total capital available of £62m.

year and post year end, we have seen the emergence of new partnerships and additional funding within
this area of our strategy, highlighting the continued need for this support within the sector.
Our Associates programme provides social enterprises with access to support from professionals, with
lived experience of founding and growing a social enterprise. SIS continued to deliver the 'Ambitions'
programme, in partnership with Postcode Innovation Trust.. a proqramme which has been evolved to
support the needs and ambitions of more established social enterprises looking to scale up.
Our Funding Socials programme provides a suite of place-based, live events, delivered around Scotland
to engage with organisations on funding options. We partnered with grant-giving bodies such as The
National Lottery Community Fund and Inspiring Scotland, and where possible, the relevant enterprise
agency (such as Highland and Islands Enterprise and SOSE).

mission. During this financial year, SIS convened and hosted the work of Financial Inclusion for Scotland
(FIFSI, funded through our Impact and Innovation Reserves. FIFS is 2 group of Scotland's leading
policymakers and professionals from the private, charity and not-for-profit sectors who have come
together to tackle financial exclusion. In May 2024, FIFS published Scotland's first collaborative
Financial Inclusion Stratggy and launchad a funding campaign calling for dormant assats to b8 allocatad
to boost affordable credit and community lending. The full Financial Inclusion for Scotland strategy can
be found here.
Impact highlights
Since its inception, SIS has invested just over £150m in 550 customers, and this year alone, we
approved a further £13.9m in new investments. SIS investments continue to reach people and
communities in all thirty-two of Scotland's local authority areas. communities across the UK and
internationally. The social enterprises we are currently invested in support at least 6.1 million people
across Scotland, the UK and beyond.
Beyond investments, SIS has hosted over 1,000 attendances through our various market-building
programmes and events. These initiatives. working with a range of other partners and funders, support
enterprises and entrepreneurs, helping them evolve their organisations, seize opportunities, and
navigate challenges. Increasingly as part of our investments and market-building activity we encourage
and support enterprises to consider responsible business practices. minimising hami, and maximising
positive impact through all business touchpoints.
Over the year we have continued to develop our impact practice in conjunction with our six features of
an Impact Economy.
We have documented our theory of change, impact framework, outcome indicators and other evidence
tools, and continue to develop our measurement processes across our activities. We are further
developing a digital impact platform to streamline our impact practice and bring greater focus and
understanding of our contribution and progress towards Building an Impact Economy.

Report of the Trustees (continued)
The year to 31st March 2025 saw deployment levels of £13.9m {2024.. £13.4m). Our total charitable
income decreased to £1,918k (2024 restated.. £2,214k), a decrease of 130￿. Our restricted income has
increased to £304k (2024 restated- £202k). This is attributable to the prior year adjustment in relation
to the change in treatment on consolidation of the Social Growth Funds.
Costs are managed in line with our budqet and have reduced from £2,728k in 2024 (restated) to £2,353k
in 2025. This reduction is primarily driven by reduction in overhead costs with average employee
numbers dropping from average of 27 in 2024 to 22 in 2025 primarily driven by SIS Ventures moving
to monitoring phase. As a result. unrestricted costs have reduced against prior year at £2,184k (2024
restated.. £2,291 k)-
The SIS Group balance sheet continues to be strong with net assets of £19,467k (2024 restated-
£19,705k). This is primarily the result of significant (ash deposits, which primarily reflect SIF capital.
These funds continue to capitalise on the Social Growth Fund, Social Growth Fund 2, and Third Sector
Resilience Fund. As well as the capital, any surpluses generated along with interest on cash deposits
will be returned to SIF as restricted funds.
Reserves policy and going concern
The trustaes havg ultimat& responsibility for 8nsuring the charitable company has an 8ffactiv8 resgrvgs
policy linked to the organisation's risk management framework and long-term strategy. The reserves
policy that was applied during the year considered the following..
The level of reserves required to safeguard the operations of the SIS Group in the event of
financial difficulties.
The level of reserves required to ensure the Group maintains sufficient liquidity and resources
to absorb bad debts and to cover loss of lending margin. The SIS Group must utilise reserves
in a way which supports the overall objectives of the organisation.
The SIS Group must utilise reserves in a way which supports the overall objectives of the
organisation.
The SIS Group should not be holding excess reserves which could be used to benefit current
and future customers of SIS.
The current reserves policy was reviewed in February 2025. The current reserves policy aims to
maintain unrestricted funds on the following basis-
General unrestricted funds
The Trustees have set a reserves policy which requires maintaining unrestricted general funds of 6
months of expenditure of £1.3m.
As at 31 March 2025, unrestricted funds of the Group represent £3.585k (2024= £3,941 kl, of which
£2,170k {2024: £2,194k) has been designated. Full details of our designated reserves are detailed on
note 15.
The charity continues to adopt the going concem basis in preparing these financial statements.

Report of the Trustees (continued)
Principal risks and uncertainties
The Board of Trustees, its sub-committees, and the leadership team review risks on an ongoing basis,
evaluating the mitigative actions that are in place, and identifying any new risks, with the aim of
implementing appropriate remedial action. The trustees believe that the implementation of agreed
actions and procedures will significantly reduce the probability and the impact of these risks.
The main principal risks to SIS Group are as follows:
Social impact- The risk that the organisation does not optimise or measure impact. Strategic
framework in place, with operational plan to support delivery.
Capital imbalance - The risk relating to the availability of appropriate capital to fund investment
activity. The Audit and Finance Committee has oversight to monitor this risk and ensure the
formation of appropriate contingencies. Capital action plans and liquidity forecasts are
monitored at regular intervals.
Loan default- The risk of financial or reputational loss on delinquent or non-performing loans.
Fortnightly higher risk meetings are held. led by the Head of Credit and Compliance, to ensure
continual monitoring of these loans. High risk loans are reported to the Risk Committee on a
quarterly basis. There are appropriate credit approval processes in place to provide challenge
to approvalb.
Capital deployment - The risks arising due to under-deployment of capital funds, including
reputational and financial impact. The leadership team monitors deal flow and pipeline on a
regular basis. Team KPIS and targets are agreed upon where necessary, and a programme of
business development activity is in place to continue to support deal flow.
Regulatory and compliance
Risk associated with instances of non-compliance and
violations of regulatory obligations. Intemal compliances, practices and policies are overseen
by the Head of Credit and Compliance, with regular reporting to the Board of Trustees.
AppropNate policies and practices for key staff, with regular monitoring of training needs. Where
necessary, support for compliance is sought from external third parties.
The Board of Trustees has ultimate responsibility for risk and the Board delegate oversight of the risk
management framework to the Risk Committee. The Risk Committee is responsible for monitoring risk
and mitigating actions across all areas of the Group and forensuring the riskframework is both complied
with and fit for purpose.
Future plans
In today's climate of rising costs and growing demand for services, we recx)gnise the pressures facing
social enterprises, charities, and the communities they serve. That is why our role
and our mission -
feels more imF)Ortant than ever.
Our updated 2025 - 2027 action plan reaffirms our commitment to supporting these organisations in
building a fairer, more inclusive Scotland.
Strengthening our Market Building Programmes
As the economic landscape evolves, strong networks and practical support are crucial. We are
expanding our support for social enterprise leaders, delivering more Funding Socials across Scotland
and deepening engagement through our SIS Associates to help build capacity and resilience when it's
needed most.
Increasing investment for Communities
We are maximising available investment through existing and new funds unlocking more flexible
finance options to help organisations manage current challenges while delivering local impact.
Championing Access to Finance
Fair, affordable finance is vital to social progress. We will (x)ntinue to support the Financial Inclusion
for Scotland group and aim to establish a Community Capital Fund - based on our success of
managing the Community Investment Enterprise Fund in England and Wales. This would bring much
needed investment to underserved communities, creating jobs and boosting local economies.

Independent Auditorfs Report to the Members
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Social Investment Scotland (the 'parent charitable
company'l and its subsidiaries ('the group,) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the group
and parent charitable company statements of financial activities, the group and parent charitable
company balance sheets, the group and parent charitable company statement of cash flows and the
related notes. The financial reportinq framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable
law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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 group and parent charitable company's affairs as at 31
March 2025 and of the group & parent charitable company's incoming resources and application
of resources, including the group and parent charitable company's income and expenditure, for
the year then ended"

Practice- and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the
Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulations 6 and 8 of the Charities
Accounts {Scotland) Regulations 2006).
Basis of 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
charitable company 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 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 trustees, 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 cx)ncern for a period of at least iwelve months from when the financial statements
are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described
in the relevant sections of this report.
Other inforniation
The other information comprises the information included in the trustees, report. other than the financial
statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our
opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent
othelwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If
we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to
determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material
misstatement of the other information. If, based on the V￿rk we have performed, we conclude that there
is a material misstatement of this other infomation, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial
statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements., and
the report of the directors, included within the report of the trustees has been prepared in
accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and their
environment obtained in the course of the audit. we have not identified material misstatements in the
report of the trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act
2006 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) require us to report to you
if, in our opinion..
adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company,
or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us., or
the parent charitable company fiiiancial stalemenis are nol in agreement will) Ihe accounting
records and retums. or
certain disclosures of trustees. remuneration specified by law are not made- or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of the trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees. responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are the directors for
the purposes of company law and trustees for the purposes of charity law) 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 trustees 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 trustees are responsible for assessing the group's and the
parent charitable company'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 trustees either
intend to liquidate the parent charitable company or 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 under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with the Acts 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 assuran￿, 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect
of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting
irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

Independent Auditorfs Report to the Members (continued)
Auditorfs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)
As part of our planning process:
We enquired of management the systems and controls the group has in place, the areas of the
financAal statements that are mostly susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and
whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud. Management informed us that there
were no instances of known, suspected or alleged fraud-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the group.
We determined that the following were most relevant= compliance with the requirements from
OSCR, GDPR, employment law. FCA and compliance with the UK Companies Act,.
We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the group, including the extent of
management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetrated, and
tailored our risk assessment accordingly- and
Using our knowledge of the group, together with the discussions held with management at the
planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities
including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment.
The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit
included..
Enquiries with management about any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with
laws and regulations, including GDPR and employment law, and fraud.,
Review of correspondence with regulators including OSCR and FCA.
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.,
Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting
estimates, in particular the impairment of investment in subsidiaries, recoverability of debtors,
and the application of accruals and deferred income- and
Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries
and other adjustments for appropriateness.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit. there is unavoidable risk that some material
misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly
planned and performed in accordance with the ISAS (UK)- For instance, the further removed non-
compliance is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the
auditor is to become aware of it or to recognise the non-compliance.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the
Financial Reporting Council's website at htt s'.Ilwww.frc.or
.uklaudilorsres
onsibilities. This description
forms part of our auditorfs report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the parent company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3
of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and to the parent charitable company's trustees, as a body, in
accordance with regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
Our auditwork has been undertaken so thatwe might state to the parent charitable company's members,
as a body, and the parent charitable company's trustees. as a body, those matters we are required to
state to them in an auditorfs 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 parent charitable company, the parent
charitable company's members, as a body, and the parent charitable company's trustees, as a body, for
our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have fomied.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Accounting policies
General information
Social Investment Scotland is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in
Scotland.
The registered office is 3rd Floor. 27 George Street. Edinburgh, EH2 2PA.
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the FRS 102 °The Financial
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. ('FRS 102.1, the Statement
of Recommended Practice (SORP) Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their
accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006.
Social Investment Scotland meeis the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the
company.Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal
accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated group financial statements consist of the financial statements of the parent
company, Social Investment Scotland, together with all entities controlled by the parent
company (its subsidiaries).All financial statements are made up to 31 March 2025.
All intra-group transactions and balances between group companies are eliminated on
consolidation.
Subsidiaries are consolidated in the group's financial statements from the date that control
commences until the date that control ceases.
Investments in joint ventures are carried in the group balance sheet at cost plus post-acquisition
changes in the group's share of the net assets of the entity, less any impairment in value. If the
group s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its investment in the joint venture
or associate. the group does not recognise further losses unless it has incurred obligations to
do so or has made payments on behalf of the joint venture or associate.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the trustees
consider to be appropriate. The parent company has significant cash reserves and regular
income is generated from interest on loans, fund management and specific grants. In reaching
this conclusion, the trustees have considered the forecasts for the period of 12 months from the
date of signing the accounts and the cash position. The trustees have also considered the risk
of the loan stock within subsidiary SIS (Community Finance) Limited, due for renewal in April
2025 and December 2025, not being renewed and the impact this will have on available capital.
The directors believe it is still appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern
basis. This is on the basis that the loan stock due for renewal in April 2025 has been rolled over
for over 5 years post year end. and extension granted to repay amounts due in December in
March 2026 with funding secured from a new investor to provide investment into the group.

Prior period adjustment
In prior periods Social Investment Scotland (SIS) treated two of its investee entities, Social Growth
Fund LLP {SGF) and Social Growth Fund 2 LLP (SGF2) as subsidiaries and fully consolidated
their financial statements into the Group financial statements. During the current year a detailed
review of partnership and other governing agreements was carried out which showed that all
strategic, financial and operating decisions relating to the activity of SGF and SGF2 required
unanimous consent from SIS and its funding partners. The Trustees therefore concluded that SGF
and SGF2 meet the definition of Joint Ventures as set out in section 15 of FRS 102. The results
and balances of SGF and SGF2 are therefore included in the Group financial statements using
the equity method of consolidation and the prior year comparatives for income, expenditure, fixed
assets, current assets, creditors and reserves have all been restated. The impact of these prior
period adjustments is detailed in note 24.
In addition, SIS previously carried its investments in SGF and SGF2 in the parent entity balance
sheet at cost less impairment. FRS 102 allows parent entities to record its investments in Joint
Ventures at fair value through the Statement of Financial Activities and the Trustees have decided
that, in order improve understanding, the accounting policy adopted by the parent entity be
changed to be consistent with the Group financial statements. The impact of these prior period
adjustments is detailed in note 24.
Recognition and allocation of income
Grants and voluntary income
Income from grants, including capital grants, is recognised when the parent charitable company
has legal entitlement to the funds, the receipt is probable, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Where there are terms placed on income that limit the parent charitable company's discretion over
how that income can be used. that income is shown as restricted income in the accounts.
Income from charitable activities
The income from lending operations is included in incoming resources in the period in which the
group is entitled to receipt. Certain advances from the Scottish Investment Fund bear interest which
may be waived at the discretion of Social Investment Scotland subject to the achievement of
specified social outcomes. Interest on these advances is included within income from charitable
activities and a related provision for interest expected to be waived is charged to charitable activities.
The Charib'es SORP {FRS 102) recommends income from lending activities is classified as
"chantable" when carried out by the parent charitsble company, but as "other trading" when carried
out by the group's subsidiaries. Each company carries out the same principal activity, being the
provision of loan finance to third sector organisations and social impact driven enterprises based or
operating in Scotland. in furtheran￿ of the charitable purposes of the group. Therefore, the trustees
consider it appropriate that these activities are classified consistently across the group as charitable
income.
In the event of income being received in advance this is deferred and released in the year in which
the event takes place. Any income not received in the year in which it is receivable is accrued at the
year end.
Income is represented by interest. arrangement fees. deployment fees and ongoing management
fees. Interest income represents amounts receivable during the year in respect of the provision on
loan finance to social enterprises based or operating in Scotland. Arrangement fees are recognised
upon deployment of investment. Deployment fees are recognised in line with the deployment period
of the investment. Management fees are recognised on an on-going monthly basis following
deployment.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Accounting policies (continued)
Fees are recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT and
other sales related taxes.
Investment income
Interest is recognised using the effective interest rate applicable to the asset.
Income from Joint Ventures
The share of income generated byjoint ventures is recognised annually in restricted income.
Recognition and allocation of expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis when the group has entered into a legal or
constructive obligation. Where possible. expenditure is allocated directly to the function to which it
relates.
Charitable activities include expenditure associated with the strategic investment in the social sector
in Scotland and include both the direct costs and support costs relating to these activities.
All support costs relate to the single activity of the group, being the provision of loan finance and
equity finance to third sector organisations and mission led enterprises based or operating within
the UK.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory
requirements of the group and parent charitable company.
Funds
Unrestricted funds include incx)ming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the group
without further specified purpose and are available as general funds. These funds can be used in
accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
Desionated funds primarily represent reserves held to capitalise the future core lending activities of
the organisation, as designated by the trustees.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor.
Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets costing £500 or more are included in the balance sheet at cost, less accumulated
depreciation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is provided in the period in which the fixed assets are purchased. The rates of
depreciation are calculated so as to write off the cost less residual value of each asset evenly over
its expected useful life as follows-
Office equipment, fixtures and fittings, website developments
Leasehold improvements

Investments
In the parent charitable company's financial statements. investments in subsidiaries are initially
measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. A
subsidiary is an entity controlled by the group. Control is the power to govern the financial and
operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
Entities in which the group has a long term interest and shares control under a contractual
arrangement are classified as jointly controlled entities. The investment is treated as a restricted
fund in these financial statements and. as Social Investment Scotland produces consolidated
accounts, we have adopted the equity method of accounting for this joint venture, which results in
net income from the joint venture shown as a separate item in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Jointly controlled entities in the parent charitable company's financial statements are initially
measured at cost and subsequently measured at fair value through the statement of financial
activities.
Operating leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the term of the
lease.
Taxation
Social Investment Scotland has been recognised by HM Revenue and Customs as a charity for the
purposes of sections 466 to 493 Corporation Tax Act 2010 and section 256 Taxation of Chargeable
Gains Act 1992. Accordingly, the parent charitable company is potentially exempt from taxation in
respect of income or capital gains to the extent that such income or gains are applied to charitable
purposes. Social Investment Scotland's trading subsidiaries are subject to corporation tax in the
same way as any commercial organisation.
Concessionary loans
Loans issued by group companies. as members of a public benefit entity group, are deemed to be
concessionary loans. Concessionary loans are initially measured at the amount paid. Subsequent
to initial recognition, the carrying amount of concessionary loans at the reporting date is adjusted to
reflect any repayments, accrued interest and impairment.
Specific provisions against advances are recognised when a risk of non-recoverability is identified,
as a result of regular monitoring and review by the trustees. Provisions made during the year, less
amounts released, are charged to the statement of financial activities and are netted off against
advances reported in the balance sheet
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without
penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours.
Creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired. They are
recognised at the undiscounted amount owed to the supplier, which is normally the invoice price.

Financial assets and financial liabilities
The parent charitable company and group only enters into basic financial instruments that result in
the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other accounts receivable and
payable, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to related parties and social
enterprises. Financial instruments are classified as in accordance with Chapter 11 of FRS 102.
Financial instruments are recognised in the balance sheet when the parent charitable company
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial instruments payable or
receivable within one year are measured at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid or
received. Financial instruments payable or receivable outwith one year are initially measured at
transaction cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, at the end of each reporting period, basic financial
instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from assets are
due to expire, or when the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership. Financial liabilities are derecognised only once the liability has been extinguished
through discharge, cancellation or expiry.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each
reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found,
an i mpairment loss is recognised in the statement of financia l activities.
Pensions
Pension contributions are made to the group defined contribution pension scheme. These are
charged in the year in which they are incurred.
Investment funding accounted for on an agency basis
The charity receives funding from a number of entities forthe purpose of providing loan finance and
grants to eligible social sector organisations.
Fundino received is not disclosed within the Statement of Financial Activities or Balance Sheet as
the charity is acting, in substance, as an agent in administering the funds of other entities in line with
their instructions.
The charity receives a management fee in retum for its services which is recognised as income in
the financial statements.
Funds held on a Nominee basis
The group's financial statements include five subsidiaries {SIS Community Capital Limited,
Community Investment Facility Limited. Community Investment Facility 2 Limited, Impact Ventures
Scotland Limited, and Impact First Nominees Limited) whose financial statements are prepared on
a nominee basis as ultimately the economic benefit and liabilities arising from the funds under
management lie with the original investors. The consolidation of these subsidiaries into the group's
financial statements is prepared on the same basis.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements (continued)
Critical judgements and estimates
In preparing the financial statements trustees make estimates and assumptions which affect reported
results, finanaal position and disclosure of contingencies. Use of available information and
application ofjudgement are inherent in the formation of the estimates, togetherwith past experience
and expectations offuture events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual
results in the future could differ from such estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision 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.
The accounting judgements or significant estimates deemed to be required in preparing these
accounts, are set out below. The trustees are satisfied that accounting policies are appropriate and
applied correctly.
Advances of concessionary loans are reviewed regularly and given a risk rating. this rating is based
on judgement after reviewing the available information from the borrower. There are certain ratirsgs
that require a provision to be made against the loan depending on whether there is deemed to be
adequate security on the loan or not. Provisions are reviewed and updated in light of information
available which indicates a loan was impaired at the year end or that a previously recognised
provision needs to be adjusted. There is further discussion on this included within the Trustees
Report.
Income from lending activities by subsidiaries is treated as charitable income in the consolidated
statement of financial activities. This is because the substance of this income is the same as that
carried out in the parent entity, therefore the trustees consider it appropriate that these activities are
classified consistently across the group.
Company investments are reviewed annuallyfor impairment. As part of this review, future cashflows
of the investment are considered and assumptions are made on the risk and future level of bad
debts. The assumptions on future bad debt levels are based on risk rating of the customers, our
knowledge of the customer and levels of security held for current customers, and an estimation of
undrawn loans that may go bad based on typical bad debt levels we experience. Based on this, an
assessment is then made on whether the investment is impaired and if so, the value of the
impairment.
The level of control exerted by SIS on two of its associated entities, Social Growth Fund LLP &
Social Growth Fund 2 LLP is conSide￿d a keyjudgement in the year. Previously, the I￿0 LLPS were
treated as wholly owned subsidiaries, however following review of the nature & substance of the
LLP agreements, this position was re-assessed, with the conclusion reached that these LLPS are in
fact joint ventures with the other participating funders. Resultantly, the prior period figures were
restated to reflect this, as well as the current year treatment being adapted to properly reflect the
accounting treatment of these entities as joint ventures. Further information on the prior period
adjustment is available within Note 24.

Prior period adjustment
Notes to reconciliation
Previously Social Growth Fund LLP (SGF) and Social Growih Fund 2 LLP (SGF 21 had been fully
consolidated into the Social Investment Scotland group accounts. The Trustees identified that due to the
nature of the LLP agreements in place, SIS did not have control over the operations of either LLP , and
should therefore should not be consolidated and should be treated as joint ventures. Therefore, the prior
period has been adjusted to treat SGF and SGF 2 as joint ventures with SIS recognising their share of
results rather than consolidating the full results of the LLPS. This resulted in an increase in group net assets
of £2,355k at 31 March 2024 compared to the previously reported position, and a reduction to parent
charitable company net assets of £924k. Further information on the constituent parts of these movements
is present throughout Note 24, at the bottom of each adjusted primary statement.

Adjustment to SOFA
The adjustment to income relates to the inclusion of SIS'S share of the net income or expenditure of the
joint ventures - being 500/0 and 460/0 of SGF and SGF 2 respectively.
Further, there was a reduction to impairment of the investment in the subsidiaries processed in the prior
period
accounting for SGF & SGF 2 as joint ventures required the reduction to be reversed and thus
increased expenditure.

Adjustment to balance sheet
The only change to the balance sheet relates to accounting for SGF and SGF 2 as joint ventures rather
than wholly owned subsidiaries. This required SIS to revalue the investments held to consider the cost of
investment, less any capital repaid by the joint ventures and any accumulated profits or losses. The
reduction in the value of investments is due to these considerations.
