OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The principal objectives of the Charity are the advancement of the Christian faith worldwide and the relief of poverty. The Charity vigorously pursues her primary purpose of advancing religion, education and the alleviation of poverty.

Christ Apostolic Church(CAC)House of Prayer Trustees Annual Report

The main activities undertaken concerning those purposes include the following:

a)To advance Christian religion activities for community benefit

b) To arrange, co-ordinate and provide social, recreational, educational and spiritual opportunities and activities of community benefit.

c) To encourage participation and promote the furtherance of social welfare and improve the quality of life of the community.

d) To reach out to the less privilege in our community by way of giving.

e) To encourage the youth to participate in community service.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The trustees are pleased to report that the Church continued to be successful spiritually by ministering to many people. Sunday service and Midweek services were held all through the year, recording an average attendance of 267 adults and children. The Church has improved in membership strength and increasingly reaching out to the community. More focus and tremendous success were achieved in the area of Evangelism and community outreach. The Church has immense growth in physical and spiritual life during the year and advancement of Christian faith following the doctrine set in the Statement of Faith as contained in our Trust Deed. During the year under review, we have successfully planted Christ Apostolic Church-House of Prayer in Manchester and Derby. Our Parish in Manchester will reach out to both young and old in the community. We shall actively engage the youth in various community development programmes. Our vision is to transform our immediate communities by imparting the Christian values in the younger generation.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The trustees have considered the level of reserve which should be maintained within the Charity, and this is reviewed annually. Such reserves are needed to cover, the working capital, the risk of possible shortfalls in charitable income and other contingencies. The net incoming resources for the year amounted to a surplus of £9,527(the year 2024 was a surplus of £22,094). All these have been unrestricted reserves, and no fund is allotted to restricted funds.

The trustees have established a reserve policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested intangible fixed assets(The Free Reserve) held by the Church should be three months of annual expenditure. At this level, the trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the Church in the event of a significant drop in funding.

The Trustees have assessed the significant risks to which the Charity is exposed, particularly those relating to the operations and finance, and are satisfied with the risk management system in place to mitigate any exposure. Risk is an everyday part of charitable activity, and managing it is essential if the trustees are to achieve their key objectives and safeguard their Charity's funds and assets. Therefore the Charity has developed appropriate Risk Management Framework, which consists of the Risk Management Policy and Risk Management procedures outlined in the operational guidelines.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The Church will continue to explore various ways of spreading the gospel of Christ effectively. The Church is also looking to grow in membership and continue to develop its members to make a life-changing impact in society, plant more parishes, open Bookshop, Drop-in Youth service(including Saturday), Open Café for less privilege, community choir and acquire our own property.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Christ Apostolic Church(CAC)House of Prayer

I report on the financial statements of Christ Apostolic Church(CAC)House of Prayer for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Summary Income and Expenditure Account, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeks explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

Expenditure

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

useful life:
Plant and machinery 25% Reducing Balance
Fixtures, fittings and
equipment
25% Reducing Balance

Freehold investment property

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Page 11

Christ Apostolic Church(CAC)House of Prayer Notes to the Accounts

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for nay trade discounts due.

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.

All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.

2 Charitable status

The Charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO), governed by a constitution.
