1.6
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting
period
end date, the
company
reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible
assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the
company
estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
1.7
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price
.
1.8
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents
are basic financial assets
and
include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9
Financial instruments
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
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.
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including
creditors and
loans from
fellow group companies, are
initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a
financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of
the future
paymen
ts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective
interest rate method.
Trade creditors
are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired
in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. A
m
ounts 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.
1.10
Taxation
The company is exempt from corporation tax, it being a company not carrying on a business for the purposes of making a profit.

1.11
Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or
fixed assets
.
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.
1.12
Retirement benefits
Retirement benefits to certain employees of the club are provided by the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS). This is a defined benefit scheme and the assets are held separately from those of the club.
The LGPS is a funded scheme and the assets are held separately from those of the club in separate trustee administered funds.
The club is grouped with Darlington Borough Council for the purposes of determining assets and liabilities within the scheme and is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis. The LGPS is therefore treated as a defined contribution scheme and the contributions are recognised as they are paid each period.
1.13
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset receive
d
or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received.
A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met
. Where a
grant does not specify performance conditions
it
is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable
. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all qualifying employees.
The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund.
Certain of the club's employees belong to the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS), which is managed by The County Council of Durham. The scheme is a defined benefit scheme.
Contributions amounting to £606 (2021 - £2,405) were payable to the scheme at 30 September 2022 and are included in creditors.
The club is grouped with Darlington Borough Council (DBC) for the purpose of defining assets and liabilities within the scheme and has agreed to pay an employer contribution rate equal to that of DBC, currently set at 18.3% of pensionable pay for certain employees.
The employer contribution rate paid will not include any additional monetary amounts specified within the triennial actuarial valuation reports.
DBC has agreed to pay the balance of any additional employer contributions required and has agreed to protect the club against the default of any responsibilities under this agreement and to separately indemnify the club against costs, obligations and liabilities arising in respect of the club's participation in the pension scheme, for which the club pay additional contributions.
Under the definitions set out in FRS102, the LGPS schemes are multi-employer pension schemes in respect of this club. The club is unable to identify its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the schemes. Accordingly, the club has taken advantage of the exemption in FRS102 and has accounted for its contributions to the schemes as if they were a defined contribution scheme.
9
Members' liability
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.
