UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

The Trustees present their report and the audited accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025.

Structure, Governance and Management

Organisational Structure and Governing Document

The Trust is a company limited by guarantee. The University of California Trust was incorporated in December 1998.

The Trust is a registered charity under the laws of England and Wales, which is overseen by the United Kingdom Charity Commission. A Management Board is responsible for the activities of the Trust. The Board ensures that the mission of the Trust is implemented, and that the financial and management matters adhere to English and Welsh law.

There are currently five members each giving a guarantee to contribute a sum, not exceeding £1, to the company should it be wound up. The governing document is the Articles of Association.

Appointment of Trustees

The appointment of Trustees is governed by the Articles of Association of the company. The number of trustees must consist of at least two but no more than ten individuals. All appointments must be approved in writing by a duly authorised officer of the University of California.

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law who served during the year were:

Mr. B.B. Barber Mr. D.M. Helson

Ms. H.R. Kopeck Ms. D.L. Miller Mr. G.A. O’Neill Mr. S.P. White Mrs. R.C. Duci Mrs J. Anderson Ms. M. Kissinger

None of the Trustees had any beneficial interest in the company during the year. The day-to-day management of the Trust has been delegated by the Trustees to Greta Paa-Kerner..

Trustee induction and training

The trustees assess the need to provide training to new trustees on an individual basis. Trustees are sent information on an on-going basis of any changes to charity regulations to ensure they are aware of the impact that this may have on their responsibilities.

Risk management

The Board of Trustees is responsible for managing the risks faced by the Trust. Consideration of such risks is made on an on-going basis, and controls to mitigate such risks are also reviewed on an

on-going basis. Although no formal codification of the risk management systems and procedures is in place for the Trust the Trustees are satisfied that identified risks are adequately mitigated.

Objects and Activities

The objects of the charity are to advance the education of the students of the University of California in England and Wales and elsewhere and of students from institutions of higher education in England and Wales and elsewhere by:

In setting the objectives and planning the activities the Trustees have given consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.

Management Team

A senior management team implements plans and programs as determined by the Trustees: an Executive Director who works in partnership with the Board of Trustees, themselves representatives of the University of California and its campuses, and a financial controller manages the Trust’s business affairs from California.

At the end of 2025, the University of California Trust employed 5 full-time and 1 part time staff members: an Executive Director, an Operations Manager, an Engagement Manager , a Development Officer, a Documents Library Manager and Finance Coordinator.

2024-25 Achievements & Performance

In 2024/25 the UC Trust made the strategic decision to broaden its involvement with a wider group of stakeholders across geographies, and in different phases of their careers. We wanted to make an impact on a larger UC community. How did we do this?

We widened our engagement outside of our London base and involved alumni and student communities in Scotland, Cambridge and the West Country. We also hosted more events outside of the UK and engaged with the UC community in Spain, France and Italy. In the coming year we will be adding the Netherlands to our portfolio.

Focusing on the UC campuses, we ensured a greater diversity of campus participation by providing increased infrastructure and marketing support to campuses with smaller international alumni populations.

Our Annual UC Alumni UK Gala celebrated its 8th year where we saw a record number of alumni attend from across seven countries.

From parents to students, to alumni and to UC staff, we broadened our circle. With over 60 events across the UK and Europe covering networking, career advising, fundraising and life-long learning, the Trust touched the lives of alumni, and an increased number of study-abroad students, visiting faculty and parents. We create the infrastructure needed for the community to give back and help shape students into tomorrow’s global citizens.

Although our impact was wider this year, it is still a community that shares the common thread of a connection to the University of California educational system.

Plans for 2025-26

In the upcoming financial year, we plan to continue to deliver impact and value for the University of California system. We plan to continue the following activities:

Strategically, new plans are underway to:

With a well-considered engagement plan, the Trust will continue to advance education, learning, and research through cultural, educational, and philanthropic activities and, ultimately, the Trust continue to unleash the power of curiosity for the benefit of people and planet.

2. Restricted Donations to University of California Trust for expenditure in the UK

There were no direct donations to the University of California for expenditure in the UK.

The net unrestricted resources for the year amounted to a surplus of £2,186 leaving unrestricted retained funds at 30" June 2025 of £48,587

Investment policy

The majority of the charity’s funds are to be spent in the short-term meeting the Trust’s objectives rather than for long term investment. The Articles of Association authorises the Trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the charity.

Reserves policy

The trustees have established the level of reserves that the charity must maintain. The Trustees are aware of the negative reserve balance and are working towards changing this balance to a positive one. All funds received are currently used to achieve the objectives of the charity. Any surplus funds are used for the same purpose and at present the Trustees do not have a formal reserves policy. Over time the Trustees hope to invest surplus funds into other sources to generate further investment returns.

Tax status

The company has charitable status and is exempt from corporation tax on income arising from its activities.

Trustees’ responsibilities statement

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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 Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Independent auditor’s report to the members of University of California Trust

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of University of California Trust (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 30 June 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, 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).

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 Auditor's 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 UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard and the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 1 to the financial statements, 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

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. 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.

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

1

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the 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 included within the trustees’ 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.

Auditor’s 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 auditor's 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.

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 auditor's report.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's 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 as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

  1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key source of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

(a) General Information

The University of California Trust Limited is a registered charity no 1075405. It 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 note(s). The charity operates from Unit 25A, De Beauvoir Block, 92-96 De Beauvoir Road, London, N1 4EN.

(b) Basis of Accounting

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 (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.

University of California Trust Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 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 prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.

The level of round adopted in the financial statements is to the nearest £1.

(c) Legal status

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £1.

(d) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

As a satellite office of the University of California, the Trust has reasonable expectation that there are adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future even in the event of the accounts showing a deficit and/or negative balance sheet. It has therefore continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

17

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

  1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(e) Income

All income 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.

Income from charitable activities included grant income, other income and rent income. The grant income is expensed on the two main activities of the charity being donations to University of California and the awards of scholarships and grants to students. Other income and rent income are re-charges to related parties. This is disclosed in the financial statements.

(f) Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under heading that aggregate all the costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probably that the settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:

Expenditure on charitable activities includes donations to various campuses of the University of California. Support costs are indirect costs incurred in supporting the charitable activities and are allocated to charitable activities as disclosed in the notes. Fundraising costs are costs incurred during fundraising activities and includes costs for organising receptions and events. Governance costs comprise the expenditure incurred for the management of the charity and the compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

The Charitable Company is no longer VAT registered. Expenditure includes VAT.

(g) Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:

Computer equipment - 33.33% straight line Fixtures, fitting and equipment - 25% reducing balance basis

The trustees carry out an annual impairment review of the value of fixed assets to determine whether any adjustment to the value of the assets is required. The company hasa specific policy regarding capitalisation of expenditure based on amounts incurred and no amounts under £1,000 are capitalised.

(h) Taxation

The charitable company is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part II Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

18

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

  1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(i) Pensions

The Charity contributes to a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Charity in independently administered funds. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Charity to the scheme.

(j)

Operating Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis.

Restricted funds - these are funds that can only be used for specific restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.

(I) Debtors Trade debtors and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

(m) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less.

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

Accruals and other creditors are recognised at their settlement amount due.

(0) Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

(p) Foreign currency

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. All exchange differences are reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities.

19

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA TRUST (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

  1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(q) Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Accounting estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:

Useful economic lives of tangible assets

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 8 for the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment, and notej for the useful economic lives for each class of assets.

There are no key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
