The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the 2015/16 Code of Practice on Local Authority Accounting (The Code) published by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA). 1.2 This narrative report provides a summary of the Council’s financial position and details of material items that have impacted on the accounts during the year. 1.3 The financial statements contain a number of technical accounting terms and concepts. A glossary of the major accounting terms has been provided at the end of the financial statements to help the reader’s understanding. 2 Background to 2015/16 2.1 Councillor Sir Albert Bore announced in October 2015 that he would be stepping down from his role as Leader of the Council. Sir Albert had been Leader of the Council from 2012 to 2015 and previously for the period 1999 to 2004. Councillor John Clancy was subsequently elected as the new Leader of the Council. 2.2 The Birmingham Independent Improvement Panel, appointed following the publication of the report on the governance and organisational capabilities of the Council by Lord Kerslake, has provided a number of progress reports to the Secretary of State. In its latest report the improvement panel has recommended to the Secretary of State that it should stand back for a period so that the political and managerial leadership of the Council can be given the chance to work together and demonstrate the Council’s ability to deliver the change and improvement needed. The panel will return in the autumn to undertake a further review of progress. 2.3 The Council, in response to the challenges faced through the changing role of local government, the impact of public expenditure constraint and the recommendations from external review, has initiated and developed its Future Council Programme. The Future Council Programme will review and, where necessary, redesign all aspects of the Council, including: How the Council operates in order to deliver its vision and outcomes through: the future services offered; the people, technology and information available; the best processes and structures used for delivery; The aptitudes and abilities that will be required of staff employed and the working culture; How members operate in their local areas and become local leaders in their communities; How the Council approaches working with partner organisations and local communities; How the Council provides the right support services in order to ensure those at the front line are able to deliver services successfully. 5 Birmingham City Council Accounts for the Year Ended 31 March 2016 2.4 The Council has a vision for how the City will look in 2020 which is based on the fundamental ideals of prosperity, fairness and democracy and within those ideals to have: A strong economy; Safety and opportunity for all children; A great future for young people; Thriving local communities; A healthy and happy City; and A modern Council. 2.5 The Council has continued to face extraordinary financial pressures with savings required for 2015/16 of £105m giving an accumulated total savings of £560m to date. Further savings are required in 2016/17 of nearly £90m with an additional savings projection of around £160m by 2020. These savings are in addition to the pressures on services arising from demographic changes and increasing and changing needs. 3 Major Developments 3.1 Despite the financial pressures faced and the demands placed on it as a result of the continued requirement to deliver high quality services whilst undertaking a major review of its operations, the Council has continued to take on new responsibilities and manage large redevelopments of the City. Details of the major activities are set out below. Better Care Fund 3.2 The Better Care Fund (BCF) was a policy initiative announced by government in June 2013 aimed at driving the transformation of local services to ensure that people receive better and more integrated care and support. 3.3 The Council endorsed the principles of a BCF joint pooled budget for Older Adult Social Care and Health integrated provision between the Council and local Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and plans were developed through 2014/15 for implementation from 1 April 2015. The Council was identified as the host for the local BCF. 3.4 Whilst no new money was made available as a result of the introduction of the BCF, there was an opportunity to reallocate resources within the local care and health sectors to make better and more effective use of them. Funding was allocated by the Department of Health through money made available to CCGs and funding made available to the Council through the Disabled Facilities and Community Capital Grants were also included in the BCF. The total resource for the pooled fund for 2015/16 was £95.7m. Public Health Transfer 3.5 From 1 October 2015, the Council took over responsibility from NHS England for planning and paying for public health services for babies and children up to 5 years old. These services include health visiting and the Family Nurse Partnership Programme. In 2015/16, the Council received additional grant of £11.2m from the Department of Health in respect of these services. 6 Birmingham City Council Accounts for the Year Ended 31 March 2016 Paradise Redevelopment 3.6 The Council has entered into a partnership arrangement with BriTel Fund Trustees Limited to develop Paradise Circus in the centre of the city through the provision of a mix of offices, shops, leisure and cultural facilities together with civic amenities, a hotel and new public realm. 3.7 The Council and BriTel Funds Trustees Limited have formed a joint company to manage the redevelopment of the area. The company has been accounted for as an associate in the Council’s Group Accounts. 4 Asset Disposals 4.1 During 2015/16, the Council completed the sale of two major developments, the National Exhibition Centre Group (NEC Group) and the Grand Central shopping centre. National Exhibition Centre Group 4.2 In March 2014, the Council announced its intention to seek offers for the NEC Group, which incorporates five exhibition and convention centres and arenas; namely NEC (National Exhibition Centre), The Vox Conference Centre within Resorts World Birmingham, Genting Arena, ICC (International Convention Centre) and Barclaycard Arena. Whilst generating a capital receipt for the Council, the sale would allow the business to take advantage of growth opportunities and reach the next stage of development under private ownership.

Resorts World Las Vegas Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Resorts World Las Vegas is a planned Asian‐themed resort on the Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. In March 2013, the group purchased the 87 acre Echelon Place from Boyd Gaming for $350 million and immediately began design work to develop the property. Plans are to commence construction on the site beginning in the latter part of 2014. The project is estimated to cost between $3.5 and $4.0 billion and will feature over 3,000 hotels, 25 restaurants, high end retails shops and a 175,000‐square‐foot casino housing over 2,400 slots and over 250 table games. We anticipate that it will take approximately 24 to 36 months to complete construction. Genting Berhad received a “Preliminary Finding of Suitability” from the Nevada Gaming Commission in May of 2014. Currently the development of Resorts World Las Vegas is being managed by GENM, GENM has no financial interest in the project at this time. Mashpee Wampanoag First Light Casino Taunton, Massachusetts, USA Through a wholly owned subsidiary, GENM has entered into a management agreement with the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, located in Southeastern Massachusetts. The resort is to be located in the City of Taunton, Massachusetts, approximately 25 miles south of Boston.
