In ¢arly 2023 a key donor, Novo Notdisk, communicated thai they would be delayed in hotM)uring their funding commitrnents
iotslling over GBP 91M),(M)O due to a p)ssible breach ol ABP15widaTds. This delay ha5 continued and despite Novo Noidisk

believe ihat a retum to scale and re￿$1110nIng of key WO￿ and operalions are possible within ihe next two year5.
Reserves Polity
The tru*ees review their Teserves policy annually to ertsurt that tt reflects the changing [M)siii￿ of ihe Tharity and its operating
contexr. Trustees have considered the following factots when setting their reserves level..
Eslabli5hed funding relationships
Dependence on a small fiumber of th)nors
The largely unresiricied nature of fvnding
Relatively low level of long-ierrn expenditure ¢ommiimen¢s
As in pffvious years in light of this operating context Tru51ees believe ihai reserves should be set ai a level sufficienr 10 enough
10 cover one year of the Charitv's operaiing expenses. Based on aniicipated 2023 operating expendiiure of £1.2m. unTe51ricled
reserves of £1. Im ai 31 DecembEr 20?2 are in lint with this approach.
In lighi of th¢ disTUPtion to a signifi¢anL funding relatiotlship in early 2023, trusiees approved the iemp)rary reduciion of r¢serves
in order io proieci ihe Charity-5 operaiion5 in th¢ Short l¢rn until additional funding 15 s￿￿r¢d.
Although Ttustees continue to believe World Obesity is a Goin8 Concern, In line with ihe Charity Commi5sion"5 Tequiremcnt that
any Chariry should be able io dissolve in an orderly fashion. Ihey have deteTrniThed thai World Obesity F¢der*ion should retain o
minimum level of unresrTiCted reser¥e5 of £350k to eThsure this.
Trustees are aware ihai having reduced reserves below the level required by ￿l1¢y, thete will be a period of rebuilding reserves.
This may rherefore have a sigrtificani impaci on an organi5aiion's unrestricted resource5 for fuiure periods.
lttv¢sttnent poliry
The ITU5tee5 periodically review the p)licy for investing the funds of ihe tharity- It bten detided that in the eurreni phase of
the World Obesity Federation's development, funds will be retained as to ensure ihat iht aciivities of the federation will be
