UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
The trustees have pleasure in presenting their annual report for the purposes of the Charities Act 2011, together with the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
## **STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
The Mercury Phoenix Trust is a registered charity constituted under a trust deed dated 29 July 1992, and registered as a charity 18 August 1992.
The power to appoint and remove Trustees is vested in the Trustees and exercised by deed. A Trustee may retire by notice in writing. The number of Trustees shall be not less than three nor more than four and in the event of their number falling below three, such additional Trustees or Trustee shall forthwith be appointed as shall be necessary to make their number up to a maximum of four.
On agreeing to become a trustee of the charity, the trustees are thoroughly briefed by the existing co-trustees on the constitution of the Trust, the day-to-day management, responsibilities of the trustees, the current objectives and future plans.
The Trustees are responsible for authorising grant payments, for ensuring all grants are made in pursuance of the objectives of the Trust and for ensuring the objectives of the Trust are met
The Trustees are responsible for identifying and reviewing the major risks to which the Trust is exposed and confirm that, as far as is possible given the nature of the grant payments and locations to which they are made, arrangements have been established to mitigate those risks.
## _Key management personnel remuneration_
The Trustees consider the board of Trustees and the self-employed administrator as comprising the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. The trustees give of their time freely and no trustee remuneration or expenses were paid in the year (2020: £nil) with the administrator’s rate being set at an amount for comparable roles within similar organisations.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The charity’s objects are:
- I) To relieve the poverty, sickness and distress of people with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus (HIV)
- II) To advance the education of the public in general in the above conditions, their transmission, treatment and consequences
- III) The provision, support and maintenance of research into the causes and cure of and hospices services and other facilities for the treatment of and alleviation of the suffering of persons with the above conditions
- IV) The conduct and support of research into the causes and cure of the above conditions, together with other medical conditions related to/associated with or otherwise allied/linked to AIDS and/or HIV
In pursuance of its objects, the charity’s income is applied in the awarding of grants which are considered to be in accordance with the Trust's objectives. The Trust has established its grant making policy to achieve these stated objectives for the public benefit. The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust's objectives in planning its future activities and agreeing its grant making for the year.
During the year, the Trust continued to award grants to qualifying recipients; the direct beneficiaries of our grant making policy and entities, charities and other bodies which have themselves been established to aid the fight against AIDS and HIV and hence the ultimate beneficiaries of grants made by the Trust are considered to be AIDS and HIV sufferers and those at risk of developing these diseases in future.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
## **MERCURY PHOENIX TRUST**
## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
All income received by the Trust in respect of gift aid receipts and donations from both institutions and individuals, and investment income is held by the Trust for distribution through grants.
Historically, the Trust has not maximised the grant payments as it has sought to spread its activities more evenly and over a greater number of years than its income profile would prima facie permit.
The Trustees take a long term view and plan on the basis that the trust aims are better served by making grants at a steady level year by year rather than increasing distributions when income is high and reducing distributions when income is low. This is the policy they have followed from inception and will probably continue with this for the foreseeable future if not longer.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
During the year, donations of £270,706 (2020: £581,625) were made to charities and similar bodies whose objectives promote awareness of, and the fight against, AIDS. There was a surplus for the year of £384,012 (2020: £467,308).
The Trustees are pleased with the Trust's performance during the year and believe its consistent awarding of grants to entities and bodies which are seeking to help relieve poverty, sickness and distress of people with AIDS and HIV demonstrates a public benefit.
The Trustees measure the performance of the Trust by assessing the value and nature of grants awarded during the financial year. The Trustees consider the value and nature of grants awarded this year to be appropriate and consistent with the objectives of the Trust.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The Trustees aim to maintain a level of reserves at least equivalent to approximately 3-4 years' worth of grant payments in order to allow the Trust to continue in existence for the foreseeable future in the event that no further income is received. The Trustees regard this as being in the best long term interests of the current and future beneficiaries. Reserves as at the year-end total £3,043,326 (2020: £2,659,314).
The Trustees are satisfied that the charity's assets are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in relation to those funds.
## _Risk management_
The Trustees have assessed the financial risk management objectives and policies of the Trust. The exposure of the Trust to price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and cash flow is considered not material for the assessment of the assets, liabilities, financial position and surplus of the Trust.
## _Investment policy and performance_
Given the short-term nature of the Trust's grant-making activities, the Trustees have decided to invest immediately any surplus funds in UK-based deposit accounts with a reputable bank.
The deposit accounts offer security and ease of access to funds, together with a market-based interest rate.
## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS**
The Trustees aim to achieve the Trust's long-term objectives of assisting in the relief of poverty, sickness and distress of people with AIDS and HIV through the continued awarding of grants to worthy recipients but this is subject to continued receipts of donations.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT**
## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Mercury Phoenix Trust**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 6 to 16.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
## **MERCURY PHOENIX TRUST**
## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **General information, scope and basis of the financial statements**
The Mercury Phoenix Trust is an unincorporated association constituted under a trust deed. The address of the principal office is given in the reference and administrative details section and the nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are given in the trustees' report.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
For donations to be recognised the Charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the Charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the Charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
Investment income consist of interest received or receivable and accrued at the balance sheet date when material.
## **Resources expended**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following expenditure headings:
- Raising funds; these include costs of fundraising and events.
- Charitable activities; these include grants to third parties and the costs of administering the charity inclusive of governance costs.
Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the control of the charity.
Support and governance costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Governance costs are those incurred in the governance of the charity and primarily associated with the constitution and statutory requirements.
## **VAT**
The charity is not registered for VAT and is unable to recover VAT incurred. On this basis costs are recorded inclusive of VAT within the SOFA.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in sections 521 to 536 Income Tax Act 2007 (ITA 2007), as such no income tax is payable on the charity's activities.
## **Debtors receivable and creditors payable within one year**
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
**Page 9**
## **MERCURY PHOENIX TRUST**
UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents includes cash at bank and in hand.
## **Foreign currency**
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Pounds Sterling at rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into Pounds Sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted general funds are incoming resources receivable or generated for use in furtherance of the general objects of the charity without restriction.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in note 12 of these financial statements.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
