Barrhead Housing Association Ltd An Overview of the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 March 2017

Change in Format of Statements Second Year of changed presentation after adopting FRS 102(Financial Reporting Standard) Main statements have been renamed – Old Income & Expenditure Account now called ‘Statement of Comprehensive Income’ Old Balance sheet now called ‘Statement of Financial Position’

A Reminder of the Main Changes Greater reported income due to the treatment of grants as income over the life of the associated asset – new income for ‘amortised’ grants Greater Operating Costs as housing depreciation is calculated on the gross cost of housing assets (ie previously calculated on cost after deducting the HAG received) – greater depreciation Includes either income or cost for any changes to the value of the pension deficit creditor

Statement of Comprehensive Income For the Year Ended 31 March 2017 2016 £’ 000 Turnover 5,030.6 4,808.2 Less Operating costs -3442.5 -3,334.8 Operating Surplus 1,588.1 1,473.3 Gain/(Loss) on Disposal of property, plant and equipment -11.4 6.9 Interest Receivable 27.8 26.9 Interest Paid and Finance Costs -433.1 -470.5 Pension Re-measurement 510.9 4.2 Surplus for Year 1682.3 1,040.9

Turnover Overall increase on previous year of £222.4k, broken down as follows: £144k increase on net Rental Income and service charges from inflationary rental increase and the increase in the number of properties. £85.5k increase in revenue grants received/ amortised £7.2k decrease on income from Other Activities.

Operating Costs An increase in operating costs from previous year of £107.7k £88.7k of this is from ‘Letting Activities’ cost. £66.7k of this is due to higher depreciation. The £22k balance on this increase is mostly from greater overhead costs which were offset by lower planned and cyclical maintenance costs and bad debts. £19k of the increased operating costs was from ‘Other Activities’ which includes wider role activities and staff time working towards future developments .

Bank Interest Received Loan Interest and Finance Costs Paid Interest Received increased very slightly - £900. Interest rates received were very low (and even lower since year end). Loan interest paid reduced by £36.6k from last year. This was due to a loan moving from a fixed rate basis to libor.

Pension Re- Measurement Large income of £510.9k shown on the Statement of Comprehensive Income (SoCI). When financial statements were restated for year to 31.03.15 due to FRS102 we had to bring in a large pension deficit liability of £1129.6k. This was the shortfall on our pension contributions based on the actuarial valuation of the scheme. The subsequent September 2015 triennial valuation by the pension provider, TPT revalued the assets and liabilities of the overall scheme reducing the deficit from £304m to £198m. Consequently BHA’s deficit, taking into account this revised valuation and our continued payments has reduced our pension creditor to £484.5k. The reduction of creditor means a credit to the SoCI. (No cash income, just an accounting adjustment!)

What does the Surplus Mean? The Accounts show a surplus of £1682.3k but what does this not explain? Due to the nature of Accounting for Housing Associations where the majority of income is spent on Improving or Purchasing Properties and Repaying Loan Capital many of the costs are not deducted in the SOCI to determine the surplus. The cash flow in and out of the Association also has to be considered to get a full understanding of what the Rental Income is used for.

(The kitchen replacement programme ran up until the end of March resulting in large amounts payable after the year end).

Current Ratio The Ratio of Current Assets (Debtors and cash) to Current Liabilities (Creditors) shows how well we can meet our liabilities that are due within one year from cash in bank and cash due at the year end The ratio at 2.0 indicates that we have no problems meeting our short term liabilities.

Creditors due After one Year Unlike previous years when this only related to loans it now also includes the: Deferred Grants - Balance of Housing Association Capital Grants less amortisation - £29,320k* Pension deficit - £389.1k** Loans - £10,715.6k * Grants are written off (amortised)each year over the life of the asset for which the grant was received. ** Pension deficit payment repayment profile has been changed to reflect a final payment in February 2022 from September 2027.

Bank Covenants There are certain financial covenants (criteria) that our results must attain to satisfy the conditions set out in our loan agreements. These are in relation to: Interest Cover, ie measures the ability to pay the loan interest from the operating surplus (after certain adjustments eg Depreciation add back, amortisation deduction). To be >= 110% - Actual 301% Gearing, ie the Level of Debt less cash as a proportion of Net worth (HAG and Reserves) To be <= 50% - Actual 31% We very comfortability meet the covenant requirements.

Performance Summary Continued to make a healthy surplus required for continued investment Continued to invest in the stock through our Planned Maintenance programme Continued to add to our stock numbers with the acquisition of 9 Rent Off The Shelf properties and 2 Mortgage to Rent Properties supported by Scottish Government grants. Continued to look for cost savings and Value for money. Focus on cost control with continual monitoring of our budget projections compared with actual spend.
