Notes to the Financial Statements
 
1. Accounting policies
 
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below
 
(a) Basis of preparation of financial statements
 
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of investments and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2005) issued in March 2005, applicable UK Accounting Standards and the Companies Act 1985.
 
The incoming resources and resources expended for the year ended 31st March 2005 have been reclassified in order to comply with SORP 2005.
 
(b) Prior period adjustment
 
The company policy for calculating the cost of retirement benefits was changed during the year to take full account of 'FRS 17 - Retirement Benefits'. The trustees consider that the new policy provides a fairer presentation of the results and of the financial position of the company as it ensures the financial statements reflect at fair value the assets and liabilities arising from the retirement benefit obligations and any related funding.
 
The comparative figures in the primary statements and notes have been restated to reflect the new policy. The effects of the change in policy are summarised below:
 
Balance Sheet
 
  £
Net assets at 31 March 2005 3,898,155
Creation of FRS 17 liability (547,000)
Net assets at 31 March 2005 restated 3,351,155
 
(c) Incoming resources
 
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income
  • The majority of income relates to local authority contracts and is recognised as the work is undertaken
  • Investment income is included when receivable
  • Revenue grants are recognised in the accounting period to which they relate and are matched to expenditure
 
(d) Resources expended
 
Expenditure is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation arises.
  • Charitable activities include expenditure on staff salaries and staffing related costs such as training, occupational health and office accommodation. It includes both the direct costs and the support costs relating to these activities
  • Support costs include central functions which have been allocated to activities. Whenever possible, support costs are attributed to the activity to which they relate. The costs of functions which support more than one of the charity's activities have been allocated to those activities based on the income for each activity. Income is a reasonable guide to the level of support activity required from human resources, finance & IT services.
  • Governance costs relate to the general running of the charity and include the operations of the Board and addressing constitutional, audit and other statutory matters.
 
(e) Depreciation of tangible fixed assets
 
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £250 are capitalised including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:
 
Heritable buildings 50 years
Leasehold improvements As per remaining number of years in lease
Furniture and furnishings 5 years
Office equipment (purchased after 1 April 2004) 3 years
Office equipment (purchased prior to 1 April 2004) 4 years
 
Where Furniture and Fittings in tenancies are purchased through housing benefit income, these assets will be expensed in year of purchase. All furniture & fittings in ELCAP tenancies were gifted to tenants on 31st March 2006. The only furniture & fittings now included in the balance sheet relate to the respite service or office accommodation.
(f) Pensions
 
The company encourages employees to take up a pension scheme and pays contributions towards a number of schemes.
 
Defined Benefit Schemes
 
The company contributes to two defined benefit pension schemes: Lothian Government Superannuation Scheme (LGSS) and the NHS Superannuation Scheme for Scotland (NHSS). Both schemes provide benefits based on final pensionable pay. The assets of the schemes are held separately by their administrators ( LGSS - City of Edinburgh Council and NHSS - Scottish Public Pensions Agency) either with a mixture of insurance companies and managed funds ( LGSS) or directly in gilts ( NHSS).
 
The company operates a defined benefit scheme in respect of its employees. The assets of the scheme are held in external funds managed by professional investment managers.
 
In accordance with 'FRS 17 - Retirement benefits', the operating and financing costs of pension and post retirement schemes (determined by a qualified actuary) are recognised separately in Statement of Financial Activities. Service costs are systematically spread over the service lives of the employees and financing costs are recognised in the period in which they arise.
 
The difference between the actual and expected returns on assets during the year, including changes in the actuarial assumptions, are also recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
 
The LGSS is closed to new entrants.
 
The NHSS scheme is a multi-employer scheme where the assets and liabilities applicable to each employer cannot be separately identified. It is therefore accounted for as a defined contribution scheme.
 
Defined Contribution Schemes
 
There are two main schemes operating in the company: the Group Personal Pension Scheme, and other Personal Pensions set up by each employee independent of the company. Contributions to the schemes are charged to the income and expenditure account in the period in which contributions become payable.
 
(g) Operating lease commitments
 
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activities.
 
(h) Funds structure
 
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in the furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Board for specific activities and needs in the future. The Property Equity fund, Contingency and Change funds are all designated funds.
 
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or funder. The Property Management fund is a restricted fund since rental income, mostly funded by housing benefit, is used to fund property refurbishment & maintenance.
 
The Operating fund represents the accumulated surpluses and deficits in the Statement of Financial Activities, after transfers to/from the designated funds
 
(i) Taxation
 
The company has charitable status and is therefore exempt from taxation under Section 505 of the Corporation Taxes Act 1968. The company is not registered for value added tax (VAT) and accordingly expenditure includes VAT where applicable.
 
(j) Investments
 
The investment in corporate bonds is shown at market value. Gains and losses are recognised in the year in which they arise.

6. Related Parties
 
  The Board made a policy decision to include service users on the Board of Trustees in order to influence the development of person centered services. Three people, Sylvia Archibald, Donald Todd and Allan Sinclair were co-opted onto the Board in April 2006. These 3 people are supported by ELCAP. There are also two trustees, Tony Sabine and Ann Steadman, who are parents of service users supported by ELCAP. The trustees are not remunerated as trustees
 
  The support contract for each of the three service-user Trustees and the relatives of the two parents/ trustees is assessed independently of ELCAP by local authority care managers and is consistent with all other service users. The cash value of these services is not disclosed in accordance with section 229 of the code of practice issued by the Accounting Standards Board, which includes in 'Disclosures not required': (f) 'the provision of services to a related party (including a charity trustee or person connected with a charity trustee) where the related party receives the services as part of a wider beneficiary class, and on the same terms as other members of the class …'
 
  Drew Morris is an executive board member and a partner in the Edinburgh office of the company's solicitors, Anderson Strathern, who were paid £19 in the year for legal services provided by the solicitors on a normal commercial basis. Drew Morris does not directly work on any ELCAP business.
