Activities of the Trust performed for the public benefit
The Trustees confirm that they have had reference to the information contained within the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities for the next financial year.
The Trust advances its charitable purpose mainly by running the Junior, Intermediate and Senior Mathematical Challenges, the Team Maths Challenge and the Senior Team Maths Challenge.
These activities are augmented by follow-up competitions including participating in the international Association Kangourou sans Frontières contests and the International Mathematical Olympiad; publications for teachers and students, Mentoring Scheme, Summer Schools, Mathematical Circles, and by providing resources for teachers. However, due to the continued impact of COVID-19, only some of these planned activities were held; some activities were run in a different format, and some were cancelled.
The Junior, Intermediate and Senior Mathematical Challenges, the Team Maths Challenge and the Senior Team Maths Challenge, are open to all secondary schools and colleges with students of secondary school age in the United Kingdom. The Junior Mathematical Challenge is additionally open to Primary schools in the United Kingdom. In 2021-22 the number of entries for these events were as follows:
| 2021-22 | 2020-21 | |||
| Schools | Students | Schools | Students | |
| Junior Mathematical Challenge | 3,477 | 306,130 | 2,764 | 239,000 |
| Intermediate Mathematical Challenge | 2,760 | 241,400 | 2,058 | 177,400 |
| Senior Mathematical Challenge | 2,113 | 104,470 | 1,766 | 85,590 |

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
Mathematical Circles enable enthusiastic mathematicians from a local area to come together for two days and follow a mathematically demanding programme. The Mathematical Circles are aimed at students in Year 10 (England and Wales), S3 (Scotland) and Year 11 (Northern Ireland). No Mathematical Circles took place this year. A review of the role and value of Mathematical Circles as part of the UKMT portfolio of events is planned.
Summer Schools are designed for young people with an interest in mathematics. Students in Years 10 or 11 (England and Wales), S3 or S4 (Scotland) and Years 11 or 12 (Northern Ireland) who are among the top 1.5% of scorers in the Intermediate Mathematical Challenge are selected by lottery and invited to attend one of the Summer Schools. The selection mechanism aims to ensure that half of the students attending are girls and that 80% are from state-funded schools. The planned Summer Schools for 2019-20 were cancelled due to COVID-19, however an online alternative was held in August 2020. Two online Summer Schools were also held in July 2021. This year just one Summer School took place in July 2022 (NMSS58), followed by two more across the first two weeks of August 2022, taking them into the following financial year.
The Mentoring Scheme continues to be well-received. The Mentoring Scheme is open to students based in the UK who are keen to improve their problem-solving and mathematical reasoning skills. The Mentoring Scheme consists of nine programmes which increase in difficulty and in the level of prerequisite knowledge required, and runs each year from October to May.
The International Mathematical Olympiad is the World Championship Mathematics Competition for secondary-school students and is held annually. The first International Mathematical Olympiad was held in 1959 in Romania, with 7 countries participating. It has gradually expanded to over 100 countries from 5 continents. The 62nd International Mathematical Olympiad was an online competition due to covid restrictions. It was hosted by the Russian Federation and the competition was organised by a distributed IMO administered from St Petersburg, Russia from 14 July to 24 July 2021.
More detailed information on all of the Trust’s activities, including those summarised above, can be found in the Trust’s Yearbook 2021-22, which is distributed electronically free of charge to all Members of the Trust.
Treasurer’s report
This was another difficult year for UKMT. Although the ravages of Covid were starting to decrease, the decision to move away from the umbrella of the University of Leeds that was designed to make some things easier was not without its difficulties. Unfortunately, a number of staff who had been very loyal to UKMT decided that they preferred to stay employed by the University and so a great deal of recruitment needed to be done and this proved to be an expensive business. Despite all the hard work of the staff, increasing turnover by over £300k, the majority of which came from an increase in sales of the Challenges (£285k more in 2021/22 than in the previous year, which is almost back to pre-pandemic levels), the extra expenses that increased activity brings meant that the figures for 2021/22 indicated that the Trust made an operating deficit of £29.7K compared to a surplus of £192k the previous year, although this deficit is mitigated by an increase in the value of investments of approximately £29k leading to an overall deficit of £576.
Although, as mentioned above, fees income rose by £329k there were a large number of areas where expenditure rose as well. The largest increase in expenditure came in professional fees which rose by £142.5k to £326.5k, although the majority of this (£258k) is due to a first full year of using the Cuttle platform for ordering, processing of results, running online competitions and much more. However, there was also a significant increase in legal fees with more than £29k being paid to our solicitors for consultations about new agreements and to help try to deal with disputes. As always, staffing is another major expenditure and this year was no exception with wages, pension and National Insurance for our hard-working staff costing just over £433k in total, an increase of nearly £40k. To try to ensure that there were sufficient staff to keep up with the increasing demands of the Trust’s operations as the majority started to get back into full swing and to be able to obtain these staff quickly, recruitment agencies and sometimes some temporary staff were employed which cost £79k this year compared to noting in previous years. The increase in activities, pleasing as they are when compared to the paucity of operations outside the Challenges in the previous year, unsurprisingly also resulted in an increase in expenditure on Accommodation, Travel and Venue hire of around £100k in total.
Our increased income also meant some increase in the VAT we needed to pay and this rose by £62.3k.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
Despite all the somewhat negative sounding details in the report above, it must be pointed out that the Trust is still in an extremely strong financial position with over £1 million in investments and significant cash reserves thanks to all the loyalty shown to UKMT by the many schools and the teachers who believe in the opportunities for mathematical challenge that we provide.
The Treasurer is extremely grateful for all the help and support provided by the Executive Director and staff at the UKMT Office, particularly as all spent the year working from home. The assistance of all the Executive Committees in effectively managing their budgets is also gratefully acknowledged.
The Trust remains enormously grateful for all the valuable support of its sponsors, donors and supporters, beyond those mentioned specifically in this report, details of whom can be found in the Trust’s Yearbook 2021-22.
Future plans of the Trust
In order to achieve the Trust’s stated charitable purpose, the Trustees have agreed a set of values, which are to guide and inform all that the Trust does. The Trust believes:
-
That all young people can benefit from the experience of mathematical problem solving and, therefore, that the Trust seeks to inspire a love of mathematical problem solving in the widest possible group of young people.
-
That there should be no barriers to young people’s engagement in the Trust’s activities and, therefore, that the Trust seeks to widen participation and increase inclusion and diversity.
-
In the independence of the Trust and, therefore, seeks to uphold its reputation whilst raising its profile inside and outside the UK.
-
In being a considerate employer, caring for and developing staff and volunteers.
The Trust’s current strategic objectives are:
-
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION - Integrating digital ways of working across UKMT to enhance the delivery of our charitable purpose, giving our beneficiaries a great experience and service, create value, and maintain our competitive advantage.
-
IMPACT ASSESSMENT - Establishing a robust impact assessment framework spanning across all areas of the UKMT. Ensuring all activities have the mathematical education impact on young people that their aims set out to achieve.
-
PEOPLE PLANNING - Establishing a clear succession plan for both volunteers and paid staff, ensuring we are able to have the right people in the right place at the right time to deliver our charitable purpose effectively. Reduce situations where there is a single point of failure that has arisen where we have developed reliance on individual people. Create a plan that addresses skills gaps in the current workforce (inc Volunteers) that will allow us to deliver the strategic objectives in the next 5 years.
-
INCLUSIVITY & DIVERSITY - Create an inclusivity and diversity strategy which will include forming a I&D statement that covers staff, volunteers and beneficiaries. Understand what actions need to be taken to achieve the strategy and how this can/will be measured.
-
CORE BUSINESS - Increasing overall participation of our beneficiaries in UKMT activities.
The Trust intends to continue organising and running the activities summarised in this report, and will continue to review them in line with the above values and strategic objectives.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
Reserves policy
The Trustees have agreed that the Trust should aim to maintain its General Reserve to the level of its ongoing annual expenditure. The General Reserve of £1.5m exceeds the current year’s operating costs and the Trustees will continue to monitor levels in the forthcoming year.
Investments policy
The policy of the Trust was reviewed and approved in December 2020. This policy is reviewed every three years. This policy is publicly available on the UKMT website.
Risks
The Trustees have reviewed the risks to which the Trust might be exposed, and have updated the Risk Management Policy accordingly. Other than risks that are covered by insurance, one of the most serious risks is that, through circumstances beyond the control of the Trust, it proves impossible to run one of the Challenges, and that consequently there would be a loss of income from fees. The maximum risk so entailed is considered to be covered by the reserves policy. (During the year, COVID-19 crystalised this risk. However, due to a combination of the reserves policy and mitigating action taken by management - see the activities section above - the Trust maintained a secure financial position - see the Treasurer’s report above.)
Fundraising Activities
Fundraising activities Income not classed as from charitable activities breaks down into donations and legacies and investment income. All information for individual supporters is reviewed and maintained under GDPR regulations and no professional fundraisers or commercial participators were utilised in the year. The Trust is not registered under any schemes or standards and has received no complaints about fundraising in the year (2021: none).
Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK Accounting Standards and applicable law), including FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS 102).
-
Make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

TRUST (A Company Limited by Guarantee) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF UNITED KINGDOM MATHEMATICS TRUST
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 July 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 July 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Trustees Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Page 10
[UNITED KINGDOM MATHEMATICS ] TRUST (A Company Limited by Guarantee) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF UNITED KINGDOM MATHEMATICS TRUST
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the Trustees' Report (incorporating the Directors’ Report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Directors’ Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Directors' Report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Page 11
[UNITED KINGDOM MATHEMATICS ]
TRUST (A Company Limited by Guarantee) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF UNITED KINGDOM MATHEMATICS TRUST
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charitable company through discussions with management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector;
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the accounts or the operations of the charity, including the Charities Act 2011;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting correspondence; and
-
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s accounts to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in the accounting policies were indicative of potential bias; and
-
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and

enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission, or misrepresentation
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022
1. General information
United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (the "Company") is a public benefit entity limited by guarantee. The registered office is 4100 Park Approach, Leeds, England, LS15 8GB.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
These financial statements have been presented in pound sterling which is the functional currency of the company, and rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the FRS applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The 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 otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the Company has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the Company, can be reliably measured.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Income from charitable activities
Examination entry fees
This income arises from the entry fees paid by schools for students participating in the challenges run by the Trust. The income and related debtor for examination fees are accounted for in the period in which the challenge is undertaken.
Sales of publications
This income arises from the sale of publications, past papers and other materials (including the Year Book) in connection with the challenges run by the Trust. Income from sales of publications is accounted for when the charity becomes legally entitled to the income.
Summer School fees
This income arises from the fees paid by schools or parents/guardians/carers for students invited to and participating in the UKMT Summer Schools. The fee is waived in cases of hardship. The fees are accounted for in the period in which the Summer School takes place.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.6 Intangible assets and amortisation
Intangible assets are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is provided on intangible assets from the date the asset is brought into use at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.
2.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Office equipment - 25% Reducing balance
2.8 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.9 Investments
Investments during the year are held a market value. Realised and unrealised gains and losses are released to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.
2.10 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.11 Liabilities
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

2.12 Financial instruments
The charity only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, and listed investments.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade payables or receivables, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration, expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of financial position.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounts at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.
2.13 Pensions
Following the move away from the University of Leeds, the Trust put a new defined contribution scheme in place from 1 November 2021. Contributions of 6% and 10% are made.
Previously the Trust made a contribution currently equivalent to 21.1% of gross salary for The Universities Superannuation Scheme (academic staff), 16% for the University of Leeds Pension & Assurance (clerical staff) and 6-10% for The University of Leeds Defined Contribution Plan (clerical staff).
The charity's contribution is charged to the Statement of financial activities in the financial year.

2.14 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
2.15 Significant judgements and estimates
Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make significant judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. The items in the financial statements where these judgements, estimates and assumptions have been made include: The recognition of grant income in these financial statements involves judgements as to whether performance or other relevant entitlement conditions have been met.

26. Capital commitments and contingent liabilities
The Trust did not have any capital commitments or contingent liabilities at 31 July 2022 or 31 July 2021.
27. Pension commitments
The Trust operates a defined contribution plan for some employees of the Trust. From 1 November 2021 contributions of 6% or 10% are made into a new plan following the move away from the University of Leeds. Previously contributions made into the plan were equivalent to 21.1% of gross salary for The Universities Superannuation Scheme (Academic staff), 16% for the University of Leeds Pension & Assurance (clerical staff) and 6-10% for The University of Leeds Defined Contribution Plan (clerical staff).
The total amount recognised in profit and loss during the year was £35,742 (2021: £47,202). As at the reporting date, amounts of £nil (2021: £nil) was payable to the plan.
28. Rights of members
The Trust is a company limited by guarantee. Each member undertakes to contribute such amounts as may be required (not exceeding £1) to the assets of the Trust if it is wound up while he/she is a member, or within one year after he/she ceases to be a member, for the payment of its debts and liabilities.
The income and property of the Trust must be used solely towards the promotion of its objects and no amount can be paid to any member by way of dividend or other share of profit. In the event of the Trust being wound up with a surplus, that surplus must be transferred to another charitable body with similar objects. Because of the restrictions on the distribution of surpluses, there are no equity interests in the Trust's reserves.
29. Related party transactions
Dr G Leversha received royalties of £1,321 (2021: £1,494) in the year and Mr T Gardiner received royalties of £227 (2021: £nil). No other Trustees received any remuneration from the Trust.
Due to the nature of the Trust's operations and the composition of the Trust's members, it is inevitable that transactions will take place with organisations in which a member may have an interest. All transactions involving such organisations are conducted at an arm's length and in accordance with the Trust's procurement policy.
