Asia House Trustees, report for the year ended 31 December 2023 (continued) RISK MANAGEMENT The trustees have a risk management strategy, which comprises.. a regular review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity and its subsidiary Asia House Enterprises Limited; the establishment of policies, system5 and Pro￿dureS to mitlgate those risks identified in the annual review., and the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise. This work ha5 identified that the three key risks are financial, operational and reputational for both the charity and its subsidiary. Risks are monitored closely and mitigated as per the risk register. A key element in the management of financial risk is a regular review of available liquid funds to settle debts a5 they fall due, regular liaison with the bank, and active management of trade debtors and creditors balances to ensure sufficient working capital by the Trust and its subsidiary company. Systems of internal control, designed to provide reasonable assurance against material misstatement and loss, include.. regular reports to the Trustees by the Chief Executive regular briefing of Chairman by the Chief Executive an annual budget approved by the Trustees regular consideration by the Trustees of the financial results, variance from budgets and non-financial performance indicators Trustees review the Charity's risk register annually. The register identifies the types of risks the charity face5, prioritises them in terms of potential impact and likelihood, and identifies means of mitigating each risk. The day- to-day responsibility for managing the risks is delegated by the Trustees to the Chief Executive and Senior Management. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES Risks to Asia House fall into three main categorie5'. finance and legal. reputational; and operational. Principal risks include global economic turmoil and sharp contractions in the market, and operating in a politically-charged and deeply divided world. There are robust measures to mitigate against each. There is in place strong governance and processes and tight cost control. We operate to the highest standards and fiercely protect our independence and objectivity.

The concerted effort to recruit a broader base of corporate funding continues, including from research and advisory business. The Founding Stakeholders, HSBC, Prudential and Standard Chartered continue to support this effort. GOING CONCERN Both the trustees and the CEO continue to monitor the risks posed to Asia House. The trustees consider that adequate resources are available to fund the activities of the charity for a period of at least Iwelve months. On the basis of budgets and other financial procedures in place the trustees believe the going concern principle is appropriate to these financial statements. The complex geopolitical environment, increasing competition, and the ever-challenging economic climate have all been carefully considered when forming budgets and operating plans for the charity. There are no known material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. RESERVES POLICY To safeguard the need for sufficient funds to cover on-going management and administration and support costs, the reserve policy set by the Board is to maintsin f￿e reserves at a level that equals three months, operating and charitable expenditure anticipated in 2024, which is currently estimated at £552k. At 31 December 2023 the group held restricted reseprfes of £1 Ok {2022 £10k), a revaluation reserve of £6,585k (2022 - £6,586k) and general reserves of £2,168k (2022 - £2,288). At 31 December 2023 the group's free reserve (the unrestricted funds held in net current assets) was a deficit of £108k (2022 surplus of £98k). This is below the target of £552k required to meet the 3 months operating expenditure target. The change in accounting policy in respect of membership fees, as set out in note 24, has resulted in an increase in deferred income and led to the deficit in free reserves. Under the previous accounting policy the free resenie would have been a surplus of £120k {2022- surplus of £327k). The trustees and management team are reviewing the reseNes policy. Additionally, funds can be drawn from the Rathbones investment funds if required.

Asia House REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF ASIA HOUSE Opinion We have audited the consolidated financial ststements of Asia House for the year ended 31 December 2023 on pages 19 to 44. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally AC￿pted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland,. In our opinion the financial statements: give a true and fair view of the state of the group and charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2D23 and oftheir incoming resources and application of resources, including their income and expenditure for the year then ended; have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland,; and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and regulations 6 and 8 of the Charities Accounts {Scotland) Regulations 2006. Basls for oplnlon We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAS (UKJ} 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 group and charilable company in accordan￿ with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial ststements in the UK, including the FRC'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. Concluslons relatlng to going concern We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAS (UK) require u5 to report to you where.. the trustee's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate., or the trustees have not di%losed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that rnay cast significant doubt about the group and charitable company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Other Informatlon The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financlal statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assuran￿ conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have perfomied, we conclude that there is a rnaterial misstatement of this other information, we are ￿qUired to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinion on other matters prescribed by th• Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit.. The information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. and The Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 16

Asia House REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF ASIA HOUSE (continued) Matters on whi¢h we are requlred to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and charitsble company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) requires us to report to you if, in our opinion.. the group and charitable company has not kept proper and adequate accounting records 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 trustees, 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 take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees. Responsbbilitles of trustees As explained more fully in the Stalement of Trustees. Responsibilities set out on page 14. 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 whlch 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 stalements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group and 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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Our responslbllltles for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance aboutwhether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misststement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors 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, lo detect material misstatements In respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularlties, including fraud is detailed below.. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these betsveen our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate lo provide a basis for our opinion. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected lo detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations- this responsibility lies with management with the oversight of the Trustees. Based on our understanding of the group, charrtable company and industry, discussion5 With management and trustees we identified financial reporting standards and Charity SORP as having direct effect on the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. As part of the engagement team discussion about how and where the group and charitable company's financial statements may be materially misstaled due to fraud, we did not identify any areas with an increased risk of fraud. 17

Asia House REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF ASIA HOUSE (continued) Our responsibilities for Ihe audit of the financial statements l¢ontinued) Our audit procedures include.. Completing a risk assessment process during our planning for this audit that specifically considered the risk of fraud: Enquiry of management about the charity's policies, procedures and related controls regarding compliance with laws and regulations and if there are any known instances of non-compliance- Examining supporting documents for all material balances, transaction and disclosures; Review. where applicable, of the Board of Truslees, minutes. Enquiry of management about litigations and claims and inspection of relevant correspondence,. Analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships., Specific audit testing on and review of areas that could be subject to management override of controls and potential bias, most notable around the key judgements and estimates, including the carrying value of investments, accruals recoverability of trade debtors and revenue recogn ition., Considering management override of controls outside of the normal operating cycles including testing the appropriateness of journal entries recorded in the general ledger and other adjustments made in the preparation of the financial statements including evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audil, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements of the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAS (UK). The potential effects of the inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misstatement results'ng from fraud because fraud may involve sophisticated and carefully organised schemes designed to conceal it, including deliberate failure to record transactions, collusion or intentional misrepresentations being made to us. 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.or -uklauditorsres onsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. Use of our report This report is made solely the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, and to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment {Scotland) Act 2005 and regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members and trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors, report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members and trustees as a body. for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed, k4& LLf Angus Mccuaig (Senior Statutory Auditor) For and on behalf of Anderson Anderson & Brown Audit LLP Eligible to act as an auditor in terms of Section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006 133 Finnieston Street Glasgow G3 8HB Date: ....25 July.2024 18

Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Depreciation is provided on the following basis.. Leasehold propety & improvements Office, plant & machinery over 132 years straight line 250/0 p.a. straight line The assets, residual values, LFseful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount of the asset is not materially different from its fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Impaim7ent of fixed assets A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls bet￿een the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activitie5. 2.11. Investments Investments are stated at market value at the reporting date.

Asia House Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 (continued) Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty In preparing financial statements, it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The following judgements and estimates are considered by the trustees to have most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. Valuation of leasehold property The Leasehold Property was valued as at 31 December 2022 by Savills.

Since memberships cover a period of a year, the group has changed its policy such that membership income is deferred and spread over the period to which it relates, Vlthere there is a change in accounting policy, the Charities SORP requires that it be applied retrospectively for all prior periods to the earliest date practicable. Accordingly, comparative amounts presented in these financial statements have been restated where applicable, The changes to comparative amounts relate to the subsidiary, Asia House Enterprises Limited and therefore to the group.
