REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
The Management Board presents its report and the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2026.
Legal Status
Drumchapel Housing Co-operative (the Co-operative) is a registered non-profit making organisation under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 No.2222R(S). The Co-operative is governed under its Rule Book. The Co-operative is a registered Scottish Charity with the charity number SC046239.
Principal Activities
The Co-operative aims to provide housing solutions to meet the needs of local communities and to serve the interests of our current and future tenants.
Review of Business and Future Developments
In the financial year 25/26 the Co-operative has made a surplus of £689,999 (2025 - £736,997). The Co-operative's revenue reserves now sit at a balance of £8,736,551 (2025 - £8,046,552) being carried forward into 2026/27.
Finances are managed through the yearly budget process and ongoing development of key targets.
The Co-operative continues to invest in the existing stock and the five-year financial projections detail how resources are deployed to meet business needs, including key assumptions and trends. All financial plans are subject to scenario planning, sensitivity and stress testing to ensure robustness.
A full risk appraisal is undertaken on all large scale capital projects, which gives a detailed record of all identified risks; this review is presented to the Management Board for a full discussion before formal approval is given.
Treasury Management includes the managing of all short and medium term cash flow requirements, withdrawing funds and managing asset security. In protecting financial resources, it is ensured that investment decisions are properly assessed and that appropriate financial returns are delivered.
Despite the ongoing current economic circumstances, the Co-operative is well placed to meet the challenges ahead. The cost of living crisis has been considered and has been monitored in the very short to medium term. Specifically, there is a robust long term financial model in place, based on prudent assumptions, that indicates viability throughout the thirty years covered by the model as well as allowing us to achieve all financial covenants set by lenders with sufficient head room built in as a contingency.
A key aim for the Co-operative is to ensure that properties meet or exceed national standards. The 30 year planned maintenance programme and cash projections take account of investment in modernising and repairing houses, and in improving the social and physical nature of the community to protect and enhance the assets which underpin the Co-operative's funding.
The long term financial model allows for all reactive and planned maintenance programmes to be carried out whilst maintaining financial viability.
The Co-operative currently has 480 properties within a distinct neighbourhood in the Drumchapel area of Glasgow.
We have no current plans to acquire additional stock, either via transfer or new build development. Any change to this will be made by the Board following consideration of a full business case.
The Management Board continues to concentrate the Co-operative's effort on maintaining current properties and continually developing customer services for tenants and other customers.
The Co-operative's staff structure has 10 staff members. Currently, the Co-operative employs 9 members of staff on a full-time basis with one vacant post. During the year we bought finance services from FMD Financial Services Limited.
The impact of the current cost-of-living-crisis has been considered in the short to medium term by the Co-operative in relation to arrears, voids, bad debt, Bank of England Base interest rate and housing property maintenance. The situation is being monitored closely regarding the on-going conflict in Ukraine, conflict in Iran/Persian Gulf, inflation, the cost-of-living-crisis and the wider economic concerns. The Co-operative completed a comprehensive re-working of financial projections and have built in headroom in the underlying assumptions in the short to medium term. There will be an update of the 30-year projections for presentation to the Management Board in early 2027. We can certainly capture any material changes which may impact the Co-operative in the medium-term.
Along with ensuring effective management of the Co-operative’s finances, the Management Board are committed to ensuring that value for money remains a top priority for the Co-operative. We look to achieve this as an independent Registered Social Landlord (RSL) and with our local partners. Where it can add value, we work with other local RSLs to procure, purchase and provide services to tenants. We work closely with the other local RSLs especially in terms of staff and board training, welfare benefits advice services and some maintenance procurement. We also work with other RSLs across Glasgow on common projects, such as the Scottish Housing Connections website consortium
The collection of rental income remains a priority for the Co-operative. While working to keep rents affordable we need to ensure that we maximise our collection of rental charges due. This has been a challenge with the introduction of UK Government Welfare Reforms and the on going cost-of-living-crisis but the Co-operative's staff continue to work with our tenants to assist and help resolve any debt issues. During the annual budget setting process a sustainment fund budget is set that provides financial support to tenants for basic essentials of food and utility vouchers.

REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Review of Business and Future Developments (Continued)
We reviewed our Business Planning process resulting in a Strategy Plan and a Delivery Plan. The Delivery Plan states how staff will take forward the action/targets agreed within the Strategy Plan during 25/26. A range of policies were reviewed and approved in Governance, Finance, Data Protection, Health & Safety, Housing Management, Maintenance and Human Resource. We published our Annual Report on the Charter in October 2025.
A training programme through DRUMCOG for our governing body members was delivered in person to ensure that the Management Board continues to meet the requirements of the Regulatory Standards of Governance and Financial Management. These training sessions were delivered by external training consultants, covering a broad range of topics.
The Management Board continued their annual Board member reviews to ensure that as a Board, and as individual Board members, they meet regulatory and good practice requirements.
Currently, governance operates through the Management Board which consists of current tenants of the Cooperative.
During 2025/26 internal audits were carried out in electrical installation condition reporting, gas and fire protection, the Annual Assurance process and the Annual Return on the Charter to assess our compliance with legislation, our current policies and best practice.
We submitted our Annual Assurance Statement to the Scottish Housing Regulator in October 2025 with no areas of material non-compliance reported. The Scottish Housing Regulator formally confirmed the Cooperative meets regulatory requirements including, Standards of Governance and Financial Management in March 2026.
The Co-operative has 99.37% compliance with the Scottish Housing Quality Standard (SHQS) at 31 March 2026.
The asset investment plan, cashflows and 30-year financial models are aligned for consistency in order to ensure that an adequate fundable plan is in place.
In addition to day-to-day repair work, the Co-operative continues to undertake planned replacements of components and cyclical maintenance works. During 2025/26 the Co-operative’s planned maintenance programme was complete. The Co-operative continued its ongoing cyclical maintenance programmes to completion. Independent stock condition sample surveys were carried out to allow us to review and keep our asset management information updated and allow the Co-operative to proactively plan for the future. The information from the surveys is used to update our 30-year maintenance projection work to ensure that property standards are maintained in the longer term. This allows the Management Board to regularly review the short, medium and long-term viability of the Co-operative.
Going forward, we aim to ensure we focus on continuing to provide an excellent housing management service, support tenants through the cost-of-living crisis and repairing and maintaining our properties to a high standard in line with the targets set by the Scottish Government. We will ensure the long-term financial health and viability of the organisation with a focus on efficiency and value for money.

REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Management Board and Executive Officers
The members of the Management Board and the Executive Officers are listed on Page 1.
Each elected member of the Management Board holds one fully paid share of £1 in the Co-operative. The Executive Officers hold no interest in the Co-operative's share capital and, although not having the legal status of Directors, they act as Executives within the authority delegated by the Management Board.
The members of the Management Board are also Trustees of the Charity. Members of the Management Board are appointed by the members at the Co-operative's Annual General Meeting.
Statement of Management Board's Responsibilities
The Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 requires the Management Board to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Cooperative and of the surplus or deficit of the Co-operative for that period. In preparing those Financial Statements, the Management Board is required to:-
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the Financial Statements;
-
prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Co-operative will continue in business;
-
prepare a statement on Internal Financial Control.
The Management Board is responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Co-operative and to enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014, the Housing (Scotland) Act 2010 and the Scottish Housing Regulator's Determination of Accounting Requirements 2024. The Management Board is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Cooperative and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Management Board is also responsible for ensuring the Co-operative's suppliers are paid promptly.
The Management Board must in determining how amounts are presented within items in the statement of comprehensive income and statement of financial position, have regard to the substance of the reported transaction or arrangement, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices.
In so far as the Management Board is aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information (information needed by the Housing Co-operative’s auditors in connection with preparing their report) of which the Co-operative’s auditors are unaware, and
-
the Management Board has taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Housing Co-operative’s auditors are aware of that information.

REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
Statement on Internal Financial Control
The Management Board acknowledges its ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the Co-operative has in place a system of controls that is appropriate for the business environment in which it operates. These controls are designed to give reasonable assurance with respect to:-
-
the reliability of financial information used within the Co-operative, or for publication;
-
the maintenance of proper accounting records; and
-
the safeguarding of assets against unauthorised use or disposition.
It is the Management Board’s responsibility to establish and maintain systems of Internal Financial Control. Such systems can only provide reasonable and not absolute assurance against material financial mis-statement or loss. Key elements of the Co-operative's systems include ensuring that:-
-
formal policies and procedures are in place, including the ongoing documentation of key systems and rules relating to the delegation of authority, which allow the monitoring of controls and restrict the unauthorised use of Co-operative’s assets;
-
experienced and suitably qualified staff take responsibility for important business functions and annual appraisal procedures have been established to maintain standards of performance;
-
forecasts and budgets are prepared which allow the management team and the Management Board to monitor key business risks, financial objectives and the progress being made towards achieving the financial plans set for the year and for the medium term;
-
quarterly financial management reports are prepared promptly, providing relevant, reliable and up to date financial and other information, with significant variances from budget being investigated as appropriate;
-
regulatory returns are prepared, authorised and submitted promptly to the relevant regulatory bodies;
-
all significant new initiatives, major commitments and investment projects are subject to formal authorisation procedures, through the Management Board;
-
the Management Board receive reports from management and from the external and internal auditors to provide reasonable assurance that control procedures are in place and are being followed and that a general review of the major risks facing the Co-operative is undertaken;
-
formal procedures have been established for instituting appropriate action to correct any weaknesses identified through internal or external audit reports.
The Management Board has reviewed the effectiveness of the system of internal financial control in existence in the Co-operative for the year ended 31 March 2026. No weaknesses were found in the internal financial controls which resulted in material losses, contingencies or uncertainties which require disclosure in the financial statements or in the auditor's report on the financial statements.
Donations
During the year the Co-operative made charitable donations amounting to £1,500 (2025 - £1,500).
Auditors
A resolution to appoint the external Auditor will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.
By order of the Management Board

REPORT BY THE AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF DRUMCHAPEL HOUSING CO-OPERATIVE LIMITED ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTERS
In addition to our audit of the Financial Statements, we have reviewed your statement on page 5 concerning the Co-operative’s compliance with the information required by the Regulatory Standards in respect of internal financial controls contained in the publication 'Regulation of Social Housing in Scotland' and associated Regulatory Advice Notes which are issued by the Scottish Housing Regulator.
Basis of Opinion
We carried out our review having regard to the requirements relating to corporate governance matters within Bulletin 2006/5 issued by the Financial Reporting Council. The Bulletin does not require us to review the effectiveness of the Co-operative’s procedures for ensuring compliance with the guidance notes, nor to investigate the appropriateness of the reasons given for non-compliance.
Opinion
In our opinion the Statement on Internal Financial Control on page 5 has provided the disclosures required by the relevant Regulatory Standards with the publication 'Regulation of Social Housing in Scotland' and associated Regulatory Advice Notes by the Scottish Housing Regulator in respect of internal financial controls and is consistent with the information which came to our attention as a result of our audit work on the Financial Statements.
Through enquiry of certain members of the Management Board, and Officers of the Co-operative, and examination of relevant documents, we have satisfied ourselves that the Management Board’s Statement on Internal Financial Control appropriately reflects the Co-operative’s compliance with the information required by the relevant Regulatory Standards in respect of internal financial controls within the publication 'Regulation of Social Housing in Scotland' and associated Regulatory Advice Notes issued by the Scottish Housing Regulator in respect of internal financial controls.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DRUMCHAPEL HOUSING CO-OPERATIVE LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Drumchapel Housing Co-operative Limited (the 'Co-operative') for the year ended 31 March 2026 which comprise statements of comprehensive income, financial position, cash flows, changes in equity 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 Co-operative's affairs as at 31 March 2026 and of its income and expenditure 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 requirements of the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014, the Housing (Scotland) Act 2010 and the Determination of Accounting Requirements 2024.
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 Co-operative in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the Financial Reporting Council's (FRC) 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 Management Board’s 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 Co-operative'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 Management Board 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 Management Board are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the Co-operative has not kept proper books of account, and not maintained a satisfactory system of control over its transactions, in accordance with the requirements of the legislation; or
-
the Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position and any other statements to which our report relates are not in agreement with the Co-operative's books of account; or
-
we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes our audit.

Responsibilities of the Management Board
As explained more fully in the Statement of Management Board's Responsibilities as set out on Page 4, the Management Board is 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 Management Board determines 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 Management Board is responsible for assessing the Co-operative'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 Management Board either intends to liquidate the Co-operative or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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. 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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
|---|---|
| The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud | |
| Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and | |
| regulations, was as follows: | |
| • | the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise |
| non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; | |
| • | we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Co-operative through discussions with directors and other management, and from our knowledge |
| and experience of the social housing sector; | |
| • | we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the Co- |
| operative, including the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014, the Housing (Scotland) Act 2010 , SHR regulatory requirements, | |
| taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation; | |
| • | we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting relevant |
| correspondence; and | |
| • | identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout |
| the audit. | |
| We assessed the susceptibility of the Co-operative’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might | |
| occur, by: | |
| • | making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; |
| and | |
| • | considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
| To | address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
| • | performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; |
| • | tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; |
| • | assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in note 1 were indicative of potential bias; and |
| • | investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. |
| In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: | |
| • | agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; |
| • | reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; |
| • | enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and |
| • | reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators including the SHR, Health and Safety Executive, and the company’s legal advisors. |
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-andassurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards-and-guidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-foraudit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our Report
This report is made solely to the Co-operative’s members, as a body, in accordance with section 87 of the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Co-operative’s members 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 Co-operative and the Co-operative’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of Compliance
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Statement of Recommended Practice : Accounting by registered social housing providers 2018. The Co-operative is a Public Benefit Entity in terms of its compliance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, applicable for accounting periods on or after 1 January 2015.
Basis of Accounting
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable Accounting Standards, the Statement of Recommended Practice : Accounting by registered social housing providers 2018, and on the historical cost basis. They also comply with the Determination of Accounting Requirements 2024. A summary of the more important accounting policies is set out below.
Revenue
The Co-operative recognises rent receivable net of losses from voids. Service Charge Income (net of voids) is recognised with expenditure as it is incurred as this is considered to be the point when the service has been performed and the revenue recognition criteria is met.
Government Grants are released to income over the expected useful life of the asset to which it relates.
Retirement Benefits
The Co-operative participates in the Scottish Housing Association Defined Benefit Pension Scheme where retirement benefits to employees of the Co-operative are funded by the contributions from all participating employers and employees in the Scheme. Payments are made in accordance with periodic calculations by consulting Actuaries and are based on pension costs applicable across the various participating organisations taken as a whole. The Co-operative now accounts for this scheme as a defined benefit pension scheme.
Valuation Of Housing Properties
Housing Properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Housing under construction and Land are not depreciated. The Co-operative depreciates housing properties by major component on a straight line basis over the estimated useful economic lives of each identified component. All components are categorised as Housing Properties within note 12. Impairment reviews are carried out if events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the components listed below is higher than the recoverable amount.
| Component | Useful Economic Life |
|---|---|
| Land | Not Depreciated |
| Building | 50 Years |
| Roof | 50 Years |
| Doors | 30 Years |
| Windows | 25 Years |
| Radiators | 25 Years |
| Boilers | 15 Years |
| Bathrooms | 25 Years |
| Kitchens | 20 Years |
| Render | 30 Years |
| Wiring | 30 Years |
| Close Doors | 30 Years |
| Common Stairs | 30 Years |
| Control Entry | 20 Years |
During the year the Co-operative reviewed the useful life of components and extended the useful life of Radiators from 20 Years to 25 Years, Close Doors from 15 Years to 30 Years and Doors from 25 Years to 30 Years. The effective of this is to prospectively reduce the depreciation charge in the current and subsequent years.

1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued.)
Depreciation and Impairment of Other Non-Current Assets
Non-current Assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis over the expected economic useful lives of the assets at the following annual rates:
| straight line basis over the expected economic useful | lives of the assets at the following annual rates: |
|---|---|
| Asset Category | Depreciation Rate |
| Office Premises | 2% |
| Furniture and Fittings | 15% |
| Computer | 33% |
| Office Equipment | 15% |
| Motor Vehicles | 25% |
The carrying value of non-current assets are reviewed for impairment at the end of each reporting period.
Social Housing Grant and Other Grants in Advance/Arrears
Social Housing Grants and Other Capital Grants are accounted for using the Accrual Method as outlined in Section 24 of Financial Reporting Standard 102. Grants are treated as deferred income and recognised in income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the property and assets to which it relates.
Social Housing Grant attributed to individual components is written off to the Statement of Comprehensive Income when these components are replaced.
Social Housing Grant received in respect of revenue expenditure is credited to the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the same period as the expenditure to which it relates.
Although Social Housing Grant is treated as a grant for accounting purposes, it may nevertheless become repayable in certain circumstances, such as the disposal of certain assets. The amount repayable would be restricted to the net proceeds of sale.
Taxation
The Co-operative is a Registered Scottish Charity and is not liable to taxation on its charitable activities.
Works to Existing Properties
The Co-operative capitalises major repairs expenditure where these works result in an enhancement of economic benefits by increasing the net rental stream over the life of the property.
Leases/Leased Assets
Costs in respect of operating leases are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight line basis over the lease term. Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are capitalised in the Statement of Financial Position and are depreciated over their useful lives.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
1. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued.)
Key Judgements made in the application of Accounting Policies
a) The Categorisation of Housing Properties
In the judgement of the Board of Management the entirety of the Co-operative's housing stock is held for social benefit and is therefore classified as Property, Plant and Equipment in accordance with FRS 102.
b) Identification of cash generating units
The Co-operative considers its cash-generating units to be the schemes in which it manages its housing property for asset management purposes.
c) Financial instrument break clauses
The Co-operative has considered the break clauses attached to the financial instruments that it has in place for its loan funding. In the judgement of the Board of Management, these break clauses do not cause the financial instrument to be classified as a complex financial instrument and therefore they meet the definition of a basic financial instrument.
d) Pension Liability
The Co-operative participates in a defined benefit pension scheme arrangement with the Scottish Housing Association Pension Scheme. The fund is multi-employer and is administered by the TPT Retirement Solutions. The TPT Retirement Solutions have developed a method of calculating each member's share of the assets and liabilities of the scheme. Guidance received suggests this method may be appropriate and provides a reasonable estimate of the pension assets and liabilities of the Co-operative and therefore this valuation method has been incorporated in these financial statements.
Financial Instruments - Basic
The Co-operative classes all of its loans as basic financial instruments including agreements with break clauses. The Co-operative recognises basic financial instruments in accordance with Section 11 of Financial Reporting Standard 102.
The Co-operative's debt instruments are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Estimation Uncertainty
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain accounting judgements and accounting estimates. It also requires the Management Board to exercise judgement in applying the Co-operative's accounting policies. The areas requiring a higher degree of judgement, or complexity, and areas where assumptions or estimates are most significant to the financial statements are disclosed below.
a) Rent Arrears - Bad Debt Provision
The Co-operative assesses the recoverability of rent arrears through a detailed assessment process which considers tenant payment history, arrangements in place and court action.
b) Life Cycle of Components
The Co-operative estimates the useful lives of major components of its housing property with reference to surveys carried out by external qualified surveyors.
c) Useful life of properties, plant and equipment
The Co-operative assesses the useful life of its properties, plant and equipment and estimates the annual charge to be depreciated based on this assessment.
d) Defined pension liability
Determining the value of the Co-operative's share of defined benefit pension scheme assets and obligations, the valuation prepared by the Scheme actuary includes estimates of life expectancy, salary growth, inflation and the discount rate on corporate bonds.
e) Allocation of share of assets and liabilities for multi employer schemes
Judgements in respect of the assets and liabilities to be recognised are based upon source information provided by administrators of the multi employer pension schemes and estimations performed by TPT Retirement Solutions.

24. RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS
Scottish Housing Association Pension Scheme
Drumchapel Housing Co-operative Limited participates in the Scottish Housing Association Pension Scheme (the Scheme).
The Scheme is a multi-employer defined benefit scheme. The Scheme is funded and is contracted out of the state scheme. The Co-operative has since moved to a defined contribution structure in the scheme but has a liability for the past service deficit in the defined benefit scheme.
The last valuation of the Scheme was performed as at 30th September 2024 by a professionally qualified actuary using the Projected Unit Credit method. The market value of the Scheme’s assets at the valuation date was £689.8m. The valuation revealed a shortfall of assets compared with the value of liabilities of £79.5m (equivalent to a past service funding level of 90%).
The Scheme Actuary prepared an Actuarial Report that provides an approximate update on the funding position of the Scheme as at 30th September 2025. Such a report is required by legislation for years in which a full actuarial valuation is not carried out. The funding update revealed a decrease in the assets of the Scheme to £626m and a decrease in liabilities to approximately £686m, equivalent to a past service funding level of 91%. The next full actuarial valuation will be for 30th September 2027 and will be finalised later in 2028.
The Scheme operates on a 'last man standing' basis, meaning that in the event of an employer withdrawing from the Scheme and being unable to pay its share of the debt on withdrawal then the liability of the withdrawing employer is re-apportioned amongst the remaining employers. Therefore, in certain circumstances the Co-operative may become liable for the obligations of a third party.
All employers in the Scheme entered into an agreement to make additional contributions to fund the Scheme's past service deficit to 31 March 2030. The recovery plan has been put in place to eliminate the deficit (depending on funding levels) for the majority of employers - although certain employers have different arrangements. Pension deficit contribution payments of £Nil (2025 - £Nil) were made during the year by the Co-operative as these will commence from 1 April 2026.
Overall, the Co-operative made payments totalling £39,711 (2025- £36,816) to the pension scheme during the year.
No assets included in the fair value of plan assets are the Co-operative's own financial instrument or are properties occupied or used by the Co-operative.
TPT Retirement Solutions (the administering authority) has responsibility for the management of the Scheme. As most of the Scheme's investments are equity based, there is an inherent risk of volatility in the investment market having a significant effect on the value of the Scheme's assets. In order to mitigate this risk, the Scheme holds a diverse investment portfolio with a range of investment managers.

24. RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS (Continued)
Historically, only the past service deficit was included as a liability in the financial statements because each employer's share of the pension assets and liabilities could not be determined. However, during the year 2018/19 the TPT Retirement Solutions developed a valuation method to address this. The SORP housing working party, the SHAPS Employer's Committee, and national housing bodies all reviewed the methodology and have not found this to be inappropriate. The Co-operative decided to adopt this valuation method as providing a reasonable estimate of it's pension assets and liabilities.
In May 2019, the FRC issued an amendment to FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, Multi-employer defined benefit plans. The amendment addresses how to treat the transition from defined contribution to defined benefit accounting and allows for early adoption. This method was adopted by the Co-operative as the most appropriate treatment. As a result the change was effectively accounted for as a change in accounting estimate.
Due to the change in accounting estimate the past service deficit liability was removed as it is included in the pension liability now calculated by the actuary and shown under Pension and Other Provisions for Liabilities and Charges in the Statement of Financial Position. The change was reflected in Other Comprehensive Income.
The following figures are prepared by the Actuaries in accordance with their understanding of FRS 102 and Guidance Note 36: Accounting for Retirement Benefits under FRS 102 issued by the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries.

25. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
Retirement Benefit Obligations
We were notified in 2021 by the Trustee of the Scheme that it has performed a review of the changes made to the Scheme’s benefits over the years and the result is that there is uncertainty surrounding some of these changes. The Trustee is seeking clarification from the Court on these items, and this process is ongoing with the Court’s determination expected no earlier than Spring 2026. It is estimated that this could potentially increase the value of the full Scheme liabilities by £27m. We note that this estimate has been calculated as at 30 September 2022 on the Scheme’s Technical Provisions basis. Until the Court direction is received, it is unknown whether the full (or any) increase in liabilities will apply and therefore, in line with the prior year, no adjustment has been made in these financial statements in respect of this.
