Dear Sirs

During the course of the preparation of your accounts for the year ended 31 May 2025, the following representations were made to us by the management and Trustees. Please read these representations carefully and if you agree with our understanding please sign and return the original copy of this letter to us as confirmation of this.

Representation

You acknowledged as Trustees your responsibility for making accurate representations to us and for the accounts which we have prepared for the company.
You acknowledged as Trustees your responsibilities under the Companies Act 2006 for preparing accounts which give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs as at year ended 31 May 2025 and of the results of its operations for the year then ended; such responsibilities being set out on the balance sheet of the unaudited financial statements. You acknowledged the responsibility under S423 of the Companies Act 2006 to send a copy of the annual accounts to every member of the company.
You confirmed that all accounting records had been made available to us for the purpose of preparing the company’s accounts and that all the transactions undertaken by the company had been properly reflected and recorded in the accounting records. All other records and related information, including minutes of all management and shareholders’ meetings, had been made available to us.

4. You confirmed all income, expenditure, assets and liabilities have been completely and accurately recorded in the accounts and the accounting records. You acknowledged that we are not bound to enquire into such matters. In particular, you confirm that the figures for turnover and gross

assets are not understated and that the company is therefore entitled to the audit exemptions available to certain small companies.

You confirmed that the company had no liabilities, contingent liabilities or guarantees to third parties other than those disclosed in the accounts.
You confirmed that there have been no events since the balance sheet date which required disclosing or which would materially affect the amounts in the accounts, other than those already disclosed or included in the accounts. Should further material events occur which may necessitate revision of the figures included in the unaudited financial statements or the inclusion of a note thereto, you will advise us accordingly.
You confirmed you have no plans or intentions that may materially alter the carrying value and where relevant the fair value measurements or classification of assets and liabilities reflected in the unaudited financial statements.
You confirmed the company has satisfactory title to all assets and there are no liens or encumbrances on the assets except for those disclosed in the unaudited financial statements.
You confirmed that the company has had, at no time during the year, any arrangement, transaction or agreement to provide credit facilities (including loans, quasi-loans or credit transactions) for Trustees, nor to guarantee or provide security for such matters, except as disclosed in the accounts.
You confirmed that the related party relationships and transactions disclosed in the accounts are a complete list of such relationships and transactions and that you are not aware of any further related parties or transactions.
You confirmed that the company has not contracted for any capital expenditure other than as disclosed in the accounts.
You confirmed that there are no companies associated with this company for tax purposes.

You understand that companies are associated for tax purposes if they are under the control of the same person or persons. You also understand that for this purpose a person might be treated as one and the same person as: a close relative; a business partner; a trustee of a settlement of which the person or a relative was the settlor; and any company in which any of these is also a shareholder.

You confirmed you are not aware of any possible or actual instance of noncompliance with those laws and regulations which provide a legal framework within which the entry conducts its business and which are central to the entity’s ability to conduct its business, namely Charities Act 2011 (specify relevant rules and regulations), except as explained to us and as disclosed in the accounts. You confirmed the company has complied with all aspects of contractual agreements that could have a material effect on the financial statements in the event of noncompliance and there exist no claims against the company, either by employees or other third parties and the company has adequate insurance cover for all consequences
You confirmed that having considered your expectations and intentions for the next twelve months and the availability of working capital, current and future sources of financial support, the company is a going concern and will continue to be so for the next twelve months. You believe that no further disclosures relating to the company’s ability to continue as a going concern need to be made in the unaudited financial statements.
You confirmed there are no specific representations made to us during the course of preparing your accounts relating to year ended 31 May 2025.

We confirm that we have read and understood the contents of this letter and agree that it accurately reflects the representations made to you by the Trustees during the course of preparing the company’s accounts.

Yours faithfully

for and on behalf of:

Harvesters Football Club
