OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and activities

The company's objectives are to establish and fund the provision of medical research facilities for enquiry into the causes, natural history, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and diseases of all kinds and to disseminate the useful results of such research for the benefit of the public. Such facilities will be developed for the study of diseases of the heart and cancers, with the anticipation that similar facilities will be offered to other specialist areas of medical research as the centre develops and expands. The trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and are of the opinion that it is fulfilled by the charity’s continued pursuit of its objectives.

Public benefit

The directors have reviewed the activities of the Charity and confirm that they are in accord with its objectives. The directors also confirm that the Charity's aims and objectives fall within the descriptions of purposes section in the Charities Act 2011 and are recognised as charitable and carried out for the benefit of the public at large.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Review of the year and future strategy

The Daisy Building Phase 1, which was brought into use in July 2008, continues to fulfil, at the anticipated level of use, the functions envisaged when the Charity was founded. Sited prominently at the NHS Castle Hill Hospital in East Yorkshire, it provides a focal point for the public perception of the work of the Charity.

The Phase 2 Project is to provide, in conjunction with the NHS, scanning facilities (Phase 2a) and a Molecular Imaging Research Centre (Phase 2b) for both research and clinical applications. The project involves research cooperation with both the University of Hull and the NHS, with the intention of creating a unique, world-class facility.

The project incorporates the provision of a PET-CT scanning patient service facility. The provision of this facility, which became fully operational in May 2014, now generates income to recover its cost over a period of 40 years and provides additional funding for the future research activities of the charity.

The agreement with the Alliance Medical Ltd specifies defined periods of time for the use of the scanning facility for research purposes. Additionally, there is the patient benefit of an onsite PET/CT Scanning facility for clinical trials, as well as a clinical service. The Charity is currently planning the provision of a new state-ofthe art digital scanner in 2025, which will both increase scanning capacity and reduce scanning times.

The Molecular Imaging Research Centre was formally handed over to the Charity towards the end of 2024. Since that time work has been undertaken by the equipment providers GE Healthcare to complete the commissioning of the sophisticated equipment installation required to manufacture the isotopes used in molecular imaging, be it research or part of a clinical service. At the same time, technical staff are planning the detailed operational arrangements required for the production of such products. On completion of these operational arrangements later this year it is anticipated that application will be made for the necessary MHRA production licence required to operate this facility.

for the year ended 30th September 2024

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Review of the year and future strategy

The charity, with legal advice from its solicitors, has in place all the necessary property, financial and construction agreements and contracts.

The directors (trustees) are satisfied that this project fulfils the Objective and Activities as defined in the Memorandum of Association.

The Molecular Imaging Research Centre referred to above will provide research benefits, as well as having clinical applications. It is, however, dependent on the scanning facilities to enable it to achieve its full research potential. The site for this new building is adjacent to the Scanning Centre. The close proximity enables the manufacture and delivery of innovative tracers for injecting into patients. Some of these tracers have a short life (measured in minutes) before they become ineffective. They enable the provision of very high-definition imaging, and hence patient benefits, which are not possible at the present time. The applications incorporate cancer, cardiac, dementia and Alzheimer's identification and treatment. The development at Castle Hill Hospital will provide a unique opportunity for a truly translational research programme in PET-CT imaging.

The opening of the Scanning Centre and MIRC, with its attendant publicity, continues to have a very positive effect on the charity's regional profile.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves and investment policy

Total reserves of £14,439,539 (2023: £13,839,716) were held by the charity at 30 September 2024. The balance held as unrestricted funds was £10,958,498 (2023: £10,811,579) of which £634,163 is regarded as free reserves, after allowing for funds relating to tangible fixed assets and investment property.

The balance held as restricted funds was £3,481,041 (2023: £3,028,137).

Reserves are accumulated until such time as expenditure is required for capital projects and/or research grant funding. As in previous years and for the foreseeable future, all monies will be invested as deposits with banks and building societies, i.e. low risk.

Report of the Trustees

for the year ended 30th September 2024

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of The Hull & East Yorkshire Medical Research Centre for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS

In so far as the trustees are aware:

AUDITORS

The auditors, Smailes Goldie, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Hull & East Yorkshire Medical Research Centre

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Hull & East Yorkshire Medical Research Centre (the ‘charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 30th September 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, Balance sheet, Consolidated 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 (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 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.

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 Report of the Trustees, other than the financial statements and our Report of the independent auditor’s 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 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:

Page 6

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Hull & East Yorkshire Medical Research Centre

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the group and charitable 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 in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities set out on page five, 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 and 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 group and/or the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below:

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the charity only and consolidated financial statements or the operations of the charitable company and the group, including the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, fundraising regulations, health and safety legislation, health and social care regulations and childcare regulations. An understanding of these laws and regulations and the extent of compliance was obtained through discussion with management and inspecting legal and regulatory correspondence.

We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's and consolidated financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by making enquiries of management and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transaction.

Page 7

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of The Hull & East Yorkshire Medical Research Centre

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to agreeing charity only and consolidated financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the charitable company's legal advisors.

Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission, or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-andguidance/Standards-and-guidance-for-auditors. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

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 trustees 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 trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The Hull & East Yorkshire Medical Research Centre Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30th September 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Group and Charity Accounting Policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The Hull and East Yorkshire Medical Research Centre is a private company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The company’s registered number and registered office address is given on page 1 of these financial statements.

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Companies Act 2006.

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 presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest pound.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented unless otherwise stated. The charitable company adopted FRS 102 in the current year and there has been no effect on transition.

Basis of consolidation

The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the Charity and its subsidiary undertaking, Daisy Medical Research Limited, at 30 September 2024 using acquisition accounting.

Going concern

The trustees, having considered the forecasts for the period to 30 September 2025, have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and when the amount can be measured reliably.

Donations and legacies

Donations and gifts are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included. Donated goods are included at the donated valuation by the donor.

Grants receivable

Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable.

Investment income

Incoming resources from investments are included when receivable.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all expenses related to the category. Where expenses cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

Expenditure – continued

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include office costs, finance, personnel and governance costs which support the charities activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Plant and machinery etc

Investment property

Investment property for which fair value can be reliably measured are measured at its fair value at each reporting date with changes recognised in the statement of financial activities.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

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

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Concessionary loans

Concessionary loans include those payable to third parties which are interest free or below market interest rates and are made to advance charitable purposes. Loans are accounted for in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.
