Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Matonot Limited ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended

30 September 2019.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible

for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006

Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as

carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have

followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the

examination giving me cause to believe:

1.	accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

2.	the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3.	the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

4.

the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention

should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been

prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement

of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial

Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)',

Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of

Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost

convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds,

it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the

charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement

and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis

and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be

directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the

use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment

but not accrued as expenditure.

Investment property

Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes

in market value is transferred to a revaluation reserve.

Taxation

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

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.

Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
