IThe UnrtaIntieS we faced during the COVID pandemic are unforgettable and in 2022 while much of the worfd was recovering from the impact of the pandemic, the Association still felt ils effects as China continued lo experience multiple lockdowns throughout the year. As the world started to adjust and estsblish new ways of working, we were all impacted by the war in Ukraine, which brought into focus new issues such as inflation, rising interest rates, etc. However, the Association saw a marginal increase in revenue of 6.5Yo between FY21 and FY22. Like many professional bodies, we have learnt a great deal during these extraordinary times by listening to and consulting with our students, Members, partners, industry, and other experts, as we continued lo grow and reinforce our work, in line with our charitable purpose and strategic objectives. The Association continued to build and make significant progress in establishing better internal processes and completed the full upgrade of our internal IT and infrastructure systems. The upgrade of our IT systems was a critical component of our digital first approach, following on from the pandemic. The Association adopted a hybrid working model, consislenl with the need to deliver services to our students and Members and maintaining the important work of the Association. As part of the new normal, the Association has fully embraced education technology and has made provisions for our global leaching cenlres lo continue delivering theoretical aspects of the course using hybrid teaching methods. l am grateful for the ongoing resilience of Gem-A staff through these internal changes. In addition to the delivery of our flagship gemmology courses and in responding lo the rapid demand for online education in 2022, we successfully launched GemlNTRO, which is the Association's first fully accredited Ofqual level 2 online qualification. This qualification is targeted towards those individuals that are new or beginning their career in our industry and would like a wholesome and comprehensive introduction to the world of gemstones. The Members of the Council and Trustees have been very pleased with the feedback received on this course and ils initial response. We successfully entered multiple reseller agreements to launch GemlNTRO in North America, India, and the Middle East. In 2022, we also began the translation of GemlNTRO in Chinese Traditional lo launch the course in Greater China. In 2022 we made further progress in formalising the estsblishmenl of the Gem-A USA entity, and we are excited about the progress that has been made and we are slralegically reviewing opportunities to establish new ATCS and training partners lo grow our education provision in this region. The Association allended the Tucson show for the first lime Sin 2020 and we were delighted lo welcome our members, partners, and friends to the annual Gem-A Bash, which took place in collaboration with the Accredited Gemmologists Association and the Canadian Gemmological Association. The annual bash was supported and sponsored by 100Q/o Natural Ltd. This year we also attended the HardRock Summit (The Denver Gem and Mineral show) in September 2022, which was attended by many of our partners and members and provided an opportunity for us lo interact with the industry and promote our education and membership services in USA. Looking lo the future, the Association continues lo identify new regions lo grow and advance its education and membership offering, while continuing to support and further develop its presence in existing regions globally. The Association's flagship publication, The Journal of Gemmology, under the editorship of Brendan Laurs continues to flourish and is highly regarded internationally, with a print run of over 2,500 per quarter with all back issues being available online. We continued publishing Gems & Jewellery magazine online and this publication continues lo be popular with wider ranging articles from a growing number of specialists across the gemmological fields, under the editorship of Jennifer Lynn Archuletta. The Members of the Council and Trustees have made the decision to continue publication of Gems & Jewellery online for the foreseeable future. Page 2

In 2022 we commenced work on reviewing and updating the Association's strategy, which was last reviewed in 2020 during the peak of the pandemic. As part of this review the Members of the Council and the Board of Trustees worked with senior management in reviewing and updating the Association's strategic objectives and priorities. Our priorities contain some exciting new developments including a brand-new website, a portal for our members, and completing the update of our gemmology and diamond courses. The Members of the Council and Trustees can report that the Association has had a worthy financial performance considering global events and is now well positioned lo develop itself in established regions and explore new ventures. While there are many challenges still facing the Association, laryely due to current political and economic landscape, especially in key regions where the Association is very active, we are confident in our ability to withstand these issues as we continue to provide world-class education and membership services globally. I give credit to both our CEO and the continued efforts and professionalism of Gem-A staff who I would like lo thank for not only their hard work, but also their passion, resilien, and commitment to the Association. The Board would also like to recognise the global ATC'S, tutors and our examiners who have once again shown their outstanding commitment in maintaining our unparalleled high standards and course offerings that define us. I would like to thank members of the Board who generously give their lime and advice freely and perform an essential role in overseeing Gem-A on behalf of all ils stakeholders. For my own part, it has been a privilege lo play a direct and active role in continuing lo support the Association through a very challenging period and l am pleased lo say that Gem-A remains a going concern. Looking forward, 2023 and 2024 will continue to be challenging, however, through actions taken, and our strategic priorities, the Association will continue lo remain adaptsble, identifying new opportunities and pursuing growth in new areas. Fundamentally while we may need lo continue lo pivot in the short term overseen by the Board and under the leadership of our CEO Alan Hart, we remain confi'dent in the Association's ability to continue lo flourish and grow. Members are at the heart of the Association. We exist to support our members through the different stages of their professional careers, from gemmology students through lo experts and leaders within the industry. The support of our community, i.e., our members, students, and strategic partners, has been invaluable and I would like to offer my deepest gratitude lo everyone who has been involved with the Association over our long history and I look forward to your continuing support and partnership in the limes ahead.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtsining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by.. making enquiries of management as lo where they considered there was SUSptibl1ify lo fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud,. 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 a sample of journal entries lo 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 transactions. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited lo.. agreeing financial statement disclosures to undedying supporting documentation., reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governan¢e', enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims," and reviewing correspondence with HM Revenue and Customs and the Charity Commission.

Income arising through providing educational courses and course materials as well as membership and subscription income is re¢(nised on an accruals basis wth amounts reiVed in advance being shown In deferred income. Other trading income consists of the sale of scientific instruments, journals and amounts receivable for goods and services, including licensing fees, provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes and is measured al the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Other trading income is recognised at the point of sale. Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Association has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. The recognition of income from IacleS is dependent on establishing entitlement. the probabilty of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entiUement lo a legacy exists when the charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through klloedge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefaclorl and the executor is satisfied that the propety in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy musl be recognised when il is probable that Il will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which wll generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the charity, can be reliably measured. 2.4 Expenditure All resources expended are recognised on an accruals basis. Support costs are apportioned by analysing the level of administration b'me required for each charitable activity. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly relate to charitable activities. Support costs include back office Costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between the expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 6 and 7. Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or conslru¢live obligation lo transfer economi¢ benefit to a third paty, it is probable that a transfer of economi¢ 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. Dire¢l costs atlributsble lo a single a¢livity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not atlributsble lo a single a¢livity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on direcUy undertaking the activities which further the group's objectives, as well as any associated support cost5. Page 21

After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured al cost less any accumulated amortisalion and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisalion Is provided on intsngible assets al rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life. Amortisalion is provided on the following bases.. Website costs Course development 33 0/0 reducing balance straighl-line over 3 years 2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the revaluation model, tangible fixed assets whose fair value can be measured reliably shall be carried at a revalued amount, being their fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Freehold property is initially recognised al cost. After recognition, under the revaluation model, freehold property whose fair value Can be measured reliably shall be carried at a revalued amount, being their fair value at the dale of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent a¢¢umulaled impairment losses. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the reporting date. Fair values are determined from markel-based evidence by appraisal that is nomialty undertaken by professionally qualified valuers. If there is no market-based evidence of fair value because of the specialised nature of the tsngible fixed asset and it is rarely sold, except as part of a contributing business, a charity may need to estimate fair value using an income or depreciated replacement cost approach. Gains and losses on revaluation are recognised in the consolidated statement of financial a¢livilies, th a separate revaluation reserve being shown in the Statement of funds note. Al 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 ils value In use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. Page 22

Depreciation is not charged on freehold land and buildings as the charity has a policy of maintaining the propety to a high standard and accordingly the property has a high residual value and an indefinite useful life. Any depreciation that would be required would be immaterial. An annual impairment review Is conducted on the propety and in the event that an impairment was identified, this would be recognised as an impairment loss in the income and expenditure account. No depreciation is provided in respect of Examination and Teaching Collections of Gems and Stones as the charity has a policy of maintaining the colle¢lions to a high standard and accordingly the Collections have a high residual value and an indefinite useful life. Any depreciation that would be required would be immaterial. The Trustees consider annualty whether the value of the collection has been impaired. Depreciation is provided on the following bases.. Freehold land Fixtures and fittings Teaching stone collections not depreciated 20'/o and 33D/o reducing balance not depreciated Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carying amount and are re¢ognised in the ¢onsolidaled statement of financial activities. 2.7 Investments Investments in subsidiaries are valued al cost less provision for impairment. 2.8 Stocks Stocks represent gemstones, course notes, textbooks and scientific testing equipment.

The Charity satisfies the lesls set out In the Finance Act 2010 and therefore Il 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 11 of the 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 lo Charitable purposes. The trading subsidiary donates an amount equal to its annual taxable profit. if any, under Gift Aid to its parent company, The Gemmologi¢al Association of Great Britain.

The trading subsidiaries adopt the following policies in respect of lax. The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the corresponding profit and loss account, except that a charge attributable to an Item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or lo an item recognised directly in equity Is also recognised in other comprehensive income or direcUy in equity respectively. Current lax is the amount of income lax payable in respect of taxable profit for the year or prior years. The current income tax charge is ¢al¢ulaled on the basis of tsx rates and laws that have been ena¢led or substsntively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the company operates and generates income. Deferred tsx balances are re¢ognised in respe¢l of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that. The recognition of deferred lax assets is limited lo the extent that il is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tsx liabilities or other future taxable profits., and Any deferred lax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been mel. Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tsx is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future lax deductions available for them and the differences beeen the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred lax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. 2.11 Financial instruments The group has elected to apply Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of fi'nancial instruments. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the group becomes paty lo the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according lo the substance of the conlraclual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. The group's policies for ils major classes of financial assets and financial liabilities are set out below. Page 24

Financing Iransa¢lions are those in which payment is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. Financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, bank loans and loans from fellow group companies are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured al the present value of the future payments discounted al a market rate of Interest for a similar debt instrument. Financing transactions are those in which payment Is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed al a rate of interest that 15 not a market rate. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortlsed cost, using the effective interest rate method. Impairment of financial assets Financial assets measured al cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If obje¢live evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account. For financial assets measured al cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference beeen the asset's Carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount the group would receive for the asset if it were lo be sold at the reporting date. For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference belween the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted al the asset's original effective interest rate. If the financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rale for measuring any Impairment loss is the current effecb.ve Interest rate determined under the contract. If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the Impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is re¢ognised in profit or loss. Page 25

Financial liabilities are dere¢ognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the conlraclual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention lo settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liabilty simultaneously. 2.12 Employee benefits The cost of any unused holiday entiuemenl is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. Termination benefits are re¢ognised immediately as an expense when the Association is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide lerminalion benefits. 2.13 Pensions Defined contribution pension plan The Company operates a defined contribution plan for ils employees.
