NEW FRONTIERS INTERNATIONAL TRUST LIMITED REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 DIRECTORS, REPORT The directors present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, which have been independently examined. New Frontiers International Trust Limited operates as 'Newfrontiers' and is referred to as such throughout this report and financial statements. The trust was incorporated on 27 December 1996 as a company limited by guarantee and registered as a charity on 8 January 1997. PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY The main objectives of Newfrontiers are to advance the Christian faith and to provide assistance for persons in conditions of need, hardship or distress. In order to achieve its objectives, NewFrontiers works as a group of apostolic leaders partnering together on global mission, joined by common values and beliefs, shared mission and genuine relationships. Much of the activity to outwork the values and beliefs is carried out within the apostolic networks. known as 'spheres' and which are separate legal entities. This charity has a strategic role of facilitating the movement by: globally, strengthening relationships and connecting apostolic leaders from different nations and different socio-economic backgrounds giving aid and support where possible., organising conferences to encourage and envision apostolic leaders and teams to achieve the above role. dealing with administrative aspects affecting the movement globally., and supporting projects helping the poor or those in hardship. REVIEW OF THE YEAR'S ACTIVITIES This year the UK charity has focussed on.. Preparing for and running the October 2023 Global Conference which was held in person in Cyprus. Supporting the Newfrontiers Together Team steering group. Administering some matters which affect the Newfrontiers movement as a whole, and Administering funds held over from prior years and restricted funds received during the year. The charity achieves its objectives principally through grants to apostolic networks and churches. GLOBAL CONFERENCE 2023 The Global Conference was again held in person this year. This enabled most of our apostolic leaders to meet personally, for sharing and updating, accountability and coordination. It was also the second year for a number of task teams that reported back providing input and advice on subjects relating to our future direction and approaches. The result is that the movement is better coordinated and pulling together more closely to fulfil our agreed objectives. For several spheres it helped cement their decisions to stay as part of the movement. There is a strong sense of momentum and coordinated forward movement to enable the apostolic leaders and their teams to advance the kingdom of God. The event gave all who participated great encouragement, and the pressure is to find space for even more to attend this coming year.
NEW FRONTIERS INTERNATIONAL TRUST LIMITED REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 INCOME The charity is financially dependent upon the donations made by supporting apostolic networks. The generosity of the networks is gratefully acknowledged. Total income for the year was £319k (2022.. £210k). The increase was due to a larger number of people attending our annual conference this year. Contributions from apostolic networks around the world, the Newfrontiers Together Fund, encouragingly came to £163k (2022.. £134k) following a request for the apostolic networks to increase their contributions in order to ensure we can provide robust governance to the movement. Conference and Training income resumed and was £150k this year (2022.. £72k), the increase being due to conferences being held in person and larger numbers attending. EXPENDITURE Total expenditure was £351 k in 2023, an increase from £193k in 2022. The increase was due to the Conferen costs associated with resuming the in-person conference this year.

DIRECTORS, RESPONSIBILITIES The directors are responsible for preparing the directors, report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with current Accounting Standards and applicable law. Under company law the directors 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to.. select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently., make judgements 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 charity will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. INTERNAL CONTROL The directors have overall responsibility for Newfrontiers, system of internal control. Such a system can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance against errors or frauds. Newfrontiers operates a planning and budgeting system with an annual budget approved by the board of directors. Significant changes are subject to specific approval. A financial reporting system compares results with the budget on a quarterly basis and a full year forecast is prepared in the autumn.
NEW FRONTIERS INTERNATIONAL TRUST LIMITED REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 RISK MANAGEMENT The directors monitor potential risks faced by NewFrontiers, identifying the major strategic and operational risks faced and how they are being managed, in line with the charity's current operations. Overall, our risk profile is improving as we put in place more mitigation measures to limit the impact of potential risks, for example revised polices for handling crises and complaints. The most substantial risk remains that an event impacts the reputation of the movement as that can have knock-on impacts on levels of trust, the charity's income, and can consume substantial amounts of time to address. The other significant risk relates to reputational damage given the distributed nature of the church networks who, although having their own legal entities, still relate to this charity. This issue has been addressed with the church networks and policies developed and very explicit agreements as to responsibilities and accountability. These risks will continue to be monitored and actively managed. PUBLIC BENEFIT Newfrontiers seeks to strengthen and facilitate the work of apostolic leaders and their teams as they work amongst many different churches. The apostolic teams and the churches they serve have very similar objectives to this charity, most particularly, the advancement of the Christian faith and supporting the poor or those in hardship. By facilitating the meeting of apostolic leaders, this charity has a unique role in fostering the relationships which form the fabric of the Newrrontiers movement, there being no legal or structural connection between the charities in the movement. By fulfilling this role, this charity indirectly impacts many thousands of people. By encouraging these relationships, the charity seeks to facilitate accountability, interdependency and cohesion among the apostolic leaders and avoid the dangers of working in isolation. In this way the charity provides a framework for apostolic leaders to share vision, encourage each other in the faith and provide a place of reference as they work out their calling and carry out their responsibilities, for the benefit of their church members and the wider community. The directors have had regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives and in planning activities, as we seek to perpetuate and strengthen these key relationships. RESERVES POLICY The directors review the charity's reserves policy regularly in the light of Charity Commission guidance. Free funds at 31 December 2023 were £198k {2022'. £230k). The charity retains a sum of £1 Ook as a strategic reserve. This is required to underwrite conference commitments, retain basic infrastructure and to meet the cost of any unanticipated expenditure, such as the cost of an independent investigation. It is intended to utilise some of the reserves in the next few years to facilitate the drawing together of the global movement on a wider basis than hitherto and thus a modest increase in expenditure is anticipated which is expected to slightly exceed income for the next three or four years. Expenditure has increased to enhance governance, but the income increase to cover that cost is expected to take three to four years to achieve. The balance of the reserves is carried forward to provide adequate working capital and meet anticipated shortfalls and to provide flexibility to fund future activity in response to requirements in the movement generally.
NEW FRONTIERS INTERNATIONAL TRUST LIMITED REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 SOURCES OF INCOME Under the title of the Newfrontiers Together fund, the principal source of income remains the donations by apostolic bases around the world. These funds are used for agreed objectives to facilitate the Newfrontiers movement as a whole. Designated funds arose from offerings taken at conferences in prior years and have been largely disbursed. The balance of £3k (2022.. £3k) has been earmarked by the directors for specific purposes. Restricted funds arise where gifts are received for specific purposes as outlined either by a specific appeal or by the giver. Expenditure is distributed in line with the appeal or requirements of the giver. INVESTMENT AND TREASURY POLICY In keeping with the reserves policy, funds are maintained to meet foreseeable recurring expenditure. Policy is to hold the strategic reserve in a 30-day accountwith the balance instantly available. The charity's funds are principally held in corporate UK bank accounts.

NEW FRONTIERS INTERNATIONAL TRUST LIMITED NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and are in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Statement of Recommended Practice on Accounting and Reporting by Charities, the Companies Act 2006 and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ("FRS 102"). The charity is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. It exists solely to pursue its charitable objectives and does not seek to make a financial return. GOING CONCERN The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable entity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have considered the charitable entity's forecasts and have taken account of pressures on donation income. After making enquiries the trustees have concluded that, despite this risk there is likely to be an increase to income due to other factors and there is a reasonable expectation that the charitable entity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties. The charitable entity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. CURRENCY The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND AREAS OF JUDGEMENT In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. There are no estimates or judgments that have a material effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. INCOME Donations are accounted for once the charity has entitlement to the donation, receipt is probable and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Conferences and training income is accounted for on a receivable basis. Where income is received in respect of conferences and courses taking place in the following year it is taken to the balance sheet as deferred income and included in creditors. EXPENDITURE All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to that Gategory. Resource5 expended include the following categories of expenditure" i) Grants - these are charged in the year when the offer is conveyed to the recipient except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. 14
NEW FRONTIERS INTERNATIONAL TRUST LIMITED NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) EXPENDITURE (CONTINUED) ii) Support costs - include costs of financial management, central information technology costs and governance costs. iii) Governance costs - are those associated with governance arrangements rather than day-to-day management of the charity's activities. Support costs include costs not directly attributable to a single activity. These have been allocated across activities in proportion to the level of costs incurred on each activity. GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The trust is exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements by virtue of the Small Companies Regime of the Companies Act 2006 as the group it heads qualifies as a small group. These financial statements therefore present information about the trust as an individual undertaking and not about its group. FUNDS The charity maintains three types of funds. Restricted funds which are subject to specific conditions specified by the giver, designated funds where the directors have decided funds are to be used for a specific purpose, and free funds. Income and expenditure related to these funds are shown separately on the Statement of Financial Activities and analysed in notes 7 and 8. 2.
