Trustees' report for the year ended 31 March 2022

The Trustees present their annual report together with the audited financial statements for the year 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document. The financial statements also comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and 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) (effective January 2019).

Since the Charity qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Trust was set up to apply funds of the company towards, or in furtherance, or in advancement, or for the benefit of such one or more charities, charitable institutions or charitable purposes as the Trustees shall in their absolute discretion select and to undertake any other charitable purpose. There has been no change in these objectives during the year. During the year the Trustees have considered and made grants to the organisations as detailed in note 9.

The Trustees have given due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in accordance with section 17 of the Charities Act 2011.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

The commercial property development owned by the Trust’s subsidiary The Box Office New Inn Broadway (“TBONIB”) has been completed and tenants are being sought. It is intended that any net surplus earned on letting will be applied to the making of charitable grants.

The ground floor Public Exhibition Space to be used for charitable purposes has been let out to a third party on a commercial basis.

The enhancement of the Public Realm within the vicinity of the development has now been completed. The Trust has worked closely with the London Borough of Hackney to achieve this enhancement.

The Trust retains an investment portfolio, and aims to donate the income to charitable causes. The Trust also owns shares in Ocado plc that were donated to it. There is a 10 year restriction on the Trust’s ability to realise the shares but there is no restriction as to the charitable purpose of the proceeds when the Ocado shares are realised. Any dividends received from Ocado in the interim will be applied to charitable causes. Having considered the nature of the donation the Trustees have classified this donation as part of the Expendable Endowment Fund.

The Trustees will also continue to research and identify eligible grant applicants to whom to apply the charity’s funds in order to achieve its objects for the public benefit.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022

GOING CONCERN

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

RESERVES POLICY

It is the policy of the Trust that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should normally be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month's expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Trust's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Trust is a registered charity, number 1078667, and was established by Declaration of Trust dated 22nd October 1999. The Trust is a company limited by guarantee and its governing document is its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Trust was incorporated on 26th October 1999.

The organisation’s affairs are conducted by the Trustees who meet throughout the year and who have the power to appoint new Trustees at their discretion. The charity does not have a formal programme for the induction and training of new Trustees. The Trustees are required to be re-elected at every third annual general meeting in accordance with the Trust's governing document.

The Trust is UK based with its headquarters in London. A board of Trustees administers the Trust. The day to day management of the charity has been delegated to J D Cracknell, who is also a Trustee.

None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the charity.

The directors of the charitable company (the Charity) are its Trustees for the purpose of charity law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as Trustees. The Trustees' report is a directors' report as required by s417 of the Companies Act 2006 and as such all of the Trustees are the directors of Belvedere Trust for the purposes of company law.

All Trustees are also members of the Belvedere Trust. Each member, in accordance with paragraph 9 of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, has undertaken to contribute such amount as may be required (not exceeding £1) to the charity’s assets if it should be wound up while he/she is a member or within one year after he/she ceased to be a member, for payment of the charity’s debts and liabilities contracted before he/she ceased to be a member, and of the costs, charges and expenses of winding up, and for the adjustment of the rights of the contributories among themselves.

The charity had one wholly owned subsidiary in the year, The Box Office New Inn Broadway Limited, a Company registered in England and Wales.

INVESTMENT POLICY

Grants received and not expected to be spent in the short term are invested on the money market or placed as fixed deposits.

Unlisted investments comprise the entire share capital of the charity's subsidiary, The Box Office New Inn Broadway Limited.

BELVEDERE TRUST

(A company limited by guarantee)

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2022

Listed investments comprise a portfolio of securities, managed by Evelyn Partners. The Trust also has a holding in Ocado plc. These Ocado shares were gifted to the Trust on condition that the shares should not be realised within a period of 10 years from the date of the gift. The Trustees have designated the entire holding of Ocado shares to an Expendable Endowment Fund.

GRANT MAKING POLICY

The charity has established its grant making policy to achieve its objects for the public benefit to apply funds of the charity towards those charitable activities which the Trustees consider in line with the charity's objectives. Applications for grants received by the charity are considered by the Trustees and discussed at Trustees' meetings held on a quarterly basis.

REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS

Reference and administrative details are shown in the schedule of legal and administrative information on page 1 of the financial statements.

THE TRUSTEES

The Trustees who served the charity during the year were as follows:

J D Cracknell P A Klaber L Hene Viscount Mackintosh of Halifax J B K Roditi A R Gabriele S V R Langridge (appointed 29 September 2021)

MAJOR RISKS

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Trust is exposed, and the following major risks and arrangements to avoid or mitigate those risks were identified.

Funding risk – the Trust is funded by way of receiving donations and income from investments. The development being completed by TBONIB has required a significant level of funding and its progress and costs have been closely monitored by the Trustees to ensure that sufficient funding will be in place.

The Trust is currently exposed to risk arising from the vacant commercial floors at the Box Office which are currently being marketed by a commercial agent.

Grant programmes are designed with sufficient flexibility to accommodate changes and grants are only made following recommendations and research by the Trust’s Charitable Grants Committee.

Investment risk – the Trust maintains its cash funds in low risk bank accounts or on Treasury Deposit. Investment in shares are managed by professional investment managers operating within a pre-designated risk mandate. Meetings are held with the Investment managers on a regular basis.

ACHIEVEMENTS, PERFORMANCE AND FINANCIAL REVIEW

Donations received in the year totalled £Nil (2021: £6,260,000), of which £Nil (2021: £5,947,500) was allocated to the expendable endowment fund.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES

The Trustees (who are also directors of Belvedere Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company and charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the Trustees 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 Group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the Group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company and the Group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group 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 company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees confirm that so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by section 418(3) of the Companies Act 2006) of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware. They have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as trustees in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charitable company's auditors are aware of that information.

PROVISION OF INFORMATION TO AUDITOR

Each of the persons who are Trustees at the time when this Trustees' report is approved has confirmed that:

Independent auditor's report to the Members of Belvedere Trust

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Belvedere Trust (the 'parent charitable company') and its subsidiary (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Consolidated statement of financial activities, the Consolidated balance sheet, the Charity balance sheet, the Consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

BELVEDERE TRUST

(A company limited by guarantee)

Independent auditor's report to the Members of Belvedere Trust (continued)

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual report. 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. 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 course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

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 Group's and the parent 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 Group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent auditor's report to the Members of Belvedere Trust (continued)

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 152 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

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.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Discussions were held with, and enquiries made of management and the Trustees with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcome of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity.

The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the entity:

Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and the Trustees as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; review of Trustee meeting minutes; testing the appropriateness of entries in the nominal ledger, including journal entries; reviewing transactions around the end of the reporting period; and the performance of analytical procedures to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.

No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity's controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).

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.

The Consolidated statement of financial activities (SOFA) and Consolidated balance sheet consolidate the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.

The Group has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of financial activities in these financial statements.

2.2 Basis of consolidation

The financial statements consolidate the accounts of Belvedere Trust and all of its subsidiary undertakings ('subsidiaries').

2.3 Going concern

After making the necessary enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate reserves to continue in existence for the forseeable future. On this basis the charity continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

2.4 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Bank interest is recognised as it is earned and dividends when they are receivable.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the Charity's educational operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Charity apportioned to charitable activities.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Group's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

At each reporting date the Charity assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined to be the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation (continued)

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Consolidated statement of financial activities.

2.7 Investment property

Investment property is carried at fair value determined annually and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

2.8 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Consolidated statement of financial activities.

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

2.9 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.10 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.11 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Consolidated statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2.12 Financial instruments

The Group 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.13 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Group and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Expendable endowment funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors. The costs of administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The restrictions to each fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Once the restriction period passes the funds will be transferred to unrestricted funds.

Investment income generated by the expendable endowment fund is unrestricted funds.

Gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are relevant.

The following judgments have had the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

The investment property land is valued annually on an open market for existing use basis. The Trustees are required to employ judgement in estimating the value of the land and assessing any impairment provisions which may be required.
