The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Income represents the total invoice value, excluding value added tax, of income received during the year.

Income is recognised in the following ways;

• for membership and teachers - on receipt of the subscription

• on events - according to the date of the event

• for other services - according to the invoice date

• grant income - this is recognised over the life of the agreement and therefore deferred at the year end if the agreements runs into the following year

• Academy income - This is received in advance of a course being undertaken, if the course starts after the year end then the income is deferred.

Expenses include VAT where applicable as the company cannot reclaim all VAT as they have a partial exemption agreement in place.

Identifiable development expenditure is capitalised to the extent that the technical, commercial and financial feasibility can be demonstrated.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to surplus or deficit.

It is the policy of the company that only assets costing over £1,500 will be capitalised.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are recognised at transaction price. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The company has obtained exemption from HMRC in respect of corporation tax, it being a company not carrying on a business for the purposes of making a profit. Corporation tax is payable on any interest income received in the year.

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

Rentals payable under operating leases, are charged to income on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the lease asset are consumed.

Critical judgments and accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.

The main judgment and accounting estimates included in the accounts are:

• Deferral of grant income – Income is recognised when EMD UK is entitled to the income and this will be based on the work being completed and there is no requirement to repay the grant.

The average monthly number of persons employed by the company during the year was 21 (2019 - 19).

One director N Wallace was paid an Honorarium of £4,000 between 1st April 2019 to 31st March 2020. The same director was paid £1,000 for the period from 1st January 2019 to 31 March 2019.

In addition, M Kingwell was made director on 5th December 2019 and was paid a salary to 31 March 2020 of £27,333.

The company is limited by guarantee, not having a share capital and consequently the liability of members is limited, subject to an undertaking by each member to contribute to the net assets or liabilities of the company on winding up such amounts as may be required not exceeding £1.

Included in the income for  2019/20 is funding from Sport England amounting to £1,233,482 (2019: £768,053). This was spent on the following programmes;

As the income statement has been omitted from the filing copy of the financial statements, the following information in relation to the audit report on the statutory financial statements is provided in accordance with s444(5B) of the Companies Act 2006:

The auditor's report was unqualified.

At the reporting end date the company had outstanding commitments for future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases, as follows:

As a direct consequence of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, there may be material uncertainties which may impact the company’s ability to continue trading in some areas, and these uncertainties may have the potential to supress demand for some of our products and services and may impact future surplus’. Sport England have committed to funding EMD UK at the same level as 2020/2021 for 2021/2022, and the directors believe they have sufficient ongoing and new products and services to sustain the company for at least the next 12 months. It has not been possible to quantify or ascertain with any certainty the financial impact of COVID-19, therefore no adjustments have been made to any figures in the accounts as a result of the pandemic.

During the year the company didn't enter into any transactions with related parties.
