Basis of preparationLakstuni Narayaua Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are

initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless othetwise stated in the relevant accountiug

policy notes.

Going concernThe trustees are concerned about the net assets position of the charity. The trustees and private individuals have

been given assurances to provide cash flow if the trust needs it in term of loans. The charity has agreed a long

term loan of 63,222,069 afler the year end, this should pay-off the old bank loan and private loans. The trustees

feel that income generated on a monthly basis is sufficient to pay the current liabilities, as per cash flow

forecasts and management account.

Transition to FRS 102Iu preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by

FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 a restatement of comparative items was required. No restatements

are required as a result of the transition to FRS 102.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifls, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general

nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be

received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Dottatiotts and legacies

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be

reliably measured.

ExpenditureAfl expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable

settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable

expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to

particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff

costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Cbantable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services

for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO),

Trade debtorsTrade debtors are amounts due fiom HMRC for giA aid donations submitted during the year.

They are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using

the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. No impairment provision was needed during the

year as the receivables were received aAer the yearend.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid

investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk ofchange in value.

BorrowingsInterest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction cost". Interest-bearing

borrowings are subsequently canied at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net oftransaction costs, and the amouut due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial

Activities over the period of the relevant bonowing.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable

and similar charges.

RevaluationThe fair value of the company's Land and buildings was revalued on 24 March 2017 by an independent valuer.

The properties at 168 Brovming Road & 272 High Street North have been valued by Mr Stuart Jefcoate

(MRICS) of B Bailey & Co Ltd on 9th Januaiy 2017. The properties have been valued by using the comparative

method of valuation. As the two properties are noimal properties, thc recent sale prices of similar properties

nearby have been compared and adjusted to reflect the particular circumstances of thc above properties, The

above properties have been valued at f500,000 and 61,070,000 respectively by the valuers.

Regarding 241 High Street north, the property have been valued by Mr Daniel Sununers (MRICS) of Castles

Surveyors Ltd on 24th March 2017. As this property is the maiu worshipping temple for the devotees, the

property is considered a unique property as very few buildings of this type exist in this area and those that do

will be rarely sold. Hence a different approach to valuation (from the normal market approach using comparable

evidence) needed applying. The most usual method of valuation when dealing with this type of property is to

apply the Depreciated Replacement Cost (DRC) and as per this method of valuation, this property has been

valued at f7,000,000. However if the building were to be sold to an alteniative user, not within the Hindu

community to be used as a place of worship, then it would need to be considered that the prospective buyer

would want to allow for substantial conversion costs and would require a significant discount, possibly aware

that there could be limited competition from other users. As a result, a "Forced Sale Value" needs assessing and

the property has been valued at f4,500,000 under this method. The trustee have taken the view to revalue the

property under the "Forced Sale Value" method and has been revalued at f4,500,000

Had this class of asset been measured on a historical cost basis, their carrying amount would have been

I7,675,797 (2015 - 64,849,403).
