As one of the Army's central charities, Trustees believe the charitable purposes of the Charity meet the public benefit test in that they help prepare soldiers for operatlons by improving physlcal fitness, mental resilience, leadershlp, teamwork and recruiting and retention. Sport therefore contributes to the Army's fighting power and efficiency and is of public benefit. f. The Amiy Sport Financial Plan 2024-28 The inaugural Army Sport Financial Plan, covering the period 2024-28. was approved by Trustées in December 2024. The plan was used to forecast expenditure of £5.5M for FY 24125 as highlighted below. with actual expenditure being £5.3M due largely to a project to refurblsh rugby pitches at Lyneham not taking place. The Financial Plan supports Trustees, decision-making and adopts the '4Ps' (Participation. Perfomance, Partnerships and Places) as a framework to guide the allocation of funds: Participation. 80 /0 of funds were allocated to 'participation' the main effort - and included operating grants to ass¢xiations and unions; ASL direct grants. RC and Corps grants. SEG and SOTR. Perfomiance. 90/0 of funds supported the Army Sport High Perfomance Pathway {ASHPP) and other high-performance actlvity. Partnerships. 30/0 of funds were granted to the Anny Adventurous Training Group (MTG) and The Ulysses Trust. Places. 80/0 of funds_often used in collaboration wlth other funding bodies sports infrastructure. were directed to improve Achievements and performance a. Key performance Indl&ators A new Amiy Sport Plan 2024-2026 was published in November 2024. The Plan, directed by 5 strategic objectives and 14 focus areas. set the Army Sport mission as 'Hamesslng the power of sport to improve physical fitness; mental resilience; leadership; teamwork; recruiting and retention. Our achievements are considered agalnst maximising participation in sport: support to engage to recruit activity, support to Defence engagement; building partnerships: and growing income through the ASL and sponsorship. b. Revlew of activities This is the fourteenth year of reporting for the ASCF. Overall, the ASCF remains healthy. The fund is vnrth £11,835.270 of general funds and £35,955 of restricted funds. Whilst a decrease of some £1.391,046 when compared to the previous FY. Trustees have ensured expenditure meets the charftable objects. Total income for the ASL dropped slightly to £5,866.021 (FY 23124: £5,940,643). Overall expenditure increased by £2,197,157 to £8,812,545 (FY 23124: £6,615,388) and apportioned as: particlpation grants: £5.329.000 (FY 23124: 2.355,964 - including capltal grants); ASHPP grant: £297,000 (FY 23124: 371,098). capital grants: £285.000' ASL prizes and operating costs: £1,860.000 (FY 23124: £1.179,877)' staff salaries: £433.716 {FY 23124: 358,527). and support costs: £522,057 (FY 23124: £316.463) (see note 11 for a breakdown of support costs).

ASCB Charltable Fund (A company limited by guarantee) Trustees. report (continuedl For the year ended 31 March 2025 Achievements and performance (continued) The Balance sheet has remained healthy wlth cash at bank and in hand totaling £1,845,614, compared to £1,396,183 last year. The Charity has sufficient free reserves to cover 1 year of expenditure 8nd grant making (c£5.1M) and held a £5M contingency against the pension liability. The latter has reduced by £2.5M as the Army HQ has accepted 50 % of the pension liability is held on their ledger. Following the release in June 2024 of the inaugural Army Sport's Impact Report, the next edition will encapsulate the FY 24125 achievements and be published in September 2025. The Impact Report will recognise the support of sponsors, charity partners, players of the ASL, and grants received from both public and non-public sources. Sport in the Amy is also supported by public funding for the provision and maintenance of synopsls scaled sports facilities, along with the Sports Equipment Grant (SEG), which is distributed by the chain of command and Army Sport. The publicly funded element of the SEG has been reduced thus placing additlonal demand for financial support from non-public funds. An annual Balance of Investment process for Regional submissions for public funding of infrastructure informs the Command Infrastructure Development Plan. Submissions are graded against a matrlx of value of operatlonal need and invariably some sporting facilities do not score as highly as projects with a hlgher operational need. The statement of need prepared for those public funding rounds provide evidence in support of applications for charitable funding. Whilst Category 1 sports are eligible for publicly funded provision and maintenance, there appears to be growing demand for support from non-public funds. The ASCF Trustees remain incredibly grateful for the outstanding financial support provided by military charities such as the Army Central Fund (ACF), the Army Welfare Grants Committee (AWGC). The Nuffield Trust (NT) and the Amiy Benevolent Fund {ABF). The ASCF has provided the following grants: Sports Assoclatlons & Unlons annual grant. Trustees approved annu81 grants of £2.617M (£1.741 M opersting grants, £0.591M SEG and £0.227M SOTR) to the associations and unions for FY 24125, an Increase of £0.269M on the £2.348M approved by Trustees in FY 23124. In addition, Trustees noted requests for capital grants totaling £0.437M, albeit decisions to invest will be decided on a case-by-case basis following business case submission. ASL Grants. ASL direct grants in FY 24125 totaled £1.1M an all-time high. Grants supported 262 activitles, of whlch there were 174 Overseas Sport Visits and Trainlng Camps, 78 International Compets'tor Grants. 32 Adventurous Training (AT) expeditions and 10 activities not classified as sport or AT but were comparable and of benefit to the Army. 2.724 personnel participated in these activities, of which 616 (290A) were women. ASCF infrastructure grants. Investment in sports facilities at RMAS, Ihe Tidworth Equine Centre and the AISTC at Thorney Island are complete. Trustees will consider an investment proposal sports facilities at Catterick Garrison at their Board meeting in August 2025. Ulysses Trust. We continue to support Cadets via The Ulysses Trust Cadet. The previous 3-year deal at £50K pla ended in 2024. Trustees moved to an annual award which sits at £60k for 2025. Page 6

ASCB Charltable Fund (A company Ilmlted by guarantee) Trustees. report (contlnued) For tho year ended 31 March 2025 Achlevements and performance (continued) c. Investment pollcy and parformanco The financial objective of the Charity is to generate sufficient funds to support the Army Sport associations and unions, annual running costs and to provide non-public funding for the development of sports Infrastructure, equipment and activities. The Investment Objectives are: The ASCF assets should be invested widely and be dlverslfied by asset class and by security. Asset classes may Include cash, bonds, equities, property, hedge funds, structured products. private investments, commodltles and any other assets deemed suitable and complying with Charity Commission guidan￿. The base currency of the investment portfolio is Sterling. The ASCF aims to generate growth in real tems in both capital and income over the long term. The Trustees have adopted a total retum approach. There is no requirement for dividend Income from ASCF investments. The Trustees have not set a speclfic annual rpturn target. However, there are occasions when investments are required to fund major projects and to also fund annual grants across the 49 sports and wider partners. The Investment Risk approaGh is shown below: The ASCF Trustees meet three times per year to dSscuss finances. Any decisions are made in light of the income the ASL is forecast to produce and the assets of the ASCF. This approach works hand-in-hand with the Financial Plan. The medium-term risk is that the income from ASL undershoots forecasts. Flnancial review a. Going concern The Trustees have a reasonable expeGtation 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. Further details regarding the adoption of the 'going concern, basis can be found in the accounting policles. b. Reserves pollcy ASCF Trustees have directed that sufficient reserves are retsined to be able to sustain the delivery of sport In the Army and meet its annual liabilities should no income be avallable for a maximum of 12 months. This requires the retentlon of funds to honour: The ASCF'S contrlbution to the annual sports association grants and the ASHPP. The ASL'S grants to partlclpants of OSVS and training camps. Any capital investment grants that have been approved. A 500/0 share of Army Sport's pension liability based on the latest actuarlal assessment. Page 7

Risk management objectlves and pollcles The Army Sport RIO Register captures the strategic risks, issues and opportunities across all Amy Sport functions. The RIO Register is reviewed by Trustees three times per year at each Army Sport Board meeting. The principal risk to operations is a cyber-attack that could adversely affect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the charitys information systems and data. To mitigate this risk Army Sport implements information security and data protection policies" provides training and imposes access control for all staff. has network security provided by Zen Zero; conducts bi-annual phishing exercises and annual penetration testing on Army Sport's IP address and websites. In addition. data protection impact assessments are conducted on all new software projects that process personal data. d. Results for the year The ASCF continues to perform well and Trustees continue to have confidence in the investments which are held within the BlackRock Armed Forces Charitable Growth & Income Fund (AFCG&I). ASCF investments remain healthy and are kept under constant review by Head Finance. ASL income, though slightly reduced on FY 24125, is now increasing, and we continue to maintain reserve funds. Trustees remain confident that income streams continue to provide sufficient funds to meet objectives. Fundralslng. Unlike the majorlty of Charitable Funds. the ASCF is not currently requir8d to raise funds through public charitable donations or appeals. The ASCF generates funds through three primary SoUr￿s. The ASL. The ASL provides the financial lifeblood of the ASCF. Sponsorshlp. Sponsorship is an increasingly important component of funding sport in the Amy. There are currently more than 100 sponsors across 49 authorised sports. AFCG&I Fund.

Constitution The ASCF is a company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 17 April 2008 and adopted by wrltten special resolution on 8 October 2009. The ASCF was registered at Companies House on 22 October 2009 (Company No: 6569008) along wlth the Memorandum and Articles of Associations of the ASCF. The transfer of assets from the ASCB Trustee Fund to the ASCF was completed on 30 October 2009. The governing documents are lodged with the Charity's Solicitors (Wilsons). With effect from 31 March 2012, the TA Sports Board was disbanded and merged into the then ASCB along with its assets. The ASCF'S governing documents have been amended accordlngly. b. Methods of appointment or eloctlon of Trustees The ASCF has its own Board of Trustees whlch Is formed by 7 ex officio members, two honorary members and a Non-Executive Dlrector. Those Trustees who are ex officio members of the Board represent the Armls command structure and have an interest in developing the Armls fighting power through sport in the Army. The General Officer Commanding Regional Command (GOC RC) Is the Chair of the Board. Trustees are normally appointed for a 3-year term and can be renewed for up to a maximum of 9 years. Trustees meet three times year in the spring, summer and winter and require a minimum of at least three Trustees to form a quorum. Elected Trustees are selected through nomination of the ex officio members and endorsed by the Chair and President. The Army Reserve is represented by Deputy Commander Home Command who is an ex officio Trustee, assisted by a member of the Army Sport Executive (S02 Amy Reserve Sport). The military Trustees lie outsid8 the Chairman's (GOC Rc'sl direct chain of command and therefore act independently, Induction of new Trustees Is overseen by the CEO. Training of Trustees is undertaken through a combination of civilian courses and military run seminars and a Trustee Training Register Is held by Army Sport. c. Organlsallonal Structure and decision-making pollcles The Army Sport Executive conslsts of a CEO and 21 other staff members who are responsible for the enabling functions in support of those planning and delivery sport for our soldiers. The Trustees delegate the day-to-day running of the ASCF to the CEO and his Immediate staff. The CEO and hls staff strive to deliver the Army Sport Plan which is supported by the Army Sport Financial Plan. The CEO manages and govems sport played in the Army through 49 sports associations and unions who receive direction through Army policy for sport (AGAI Volume 1, Chapter 5 Sport) and an Army Sport Plan that looks out at least two years. The Army Sport Financial Plan covers a 5-year period. Each associationlunion receives an annual operating grant from Army Sport and is required to Issue its own Management Plan as part of their annual bid for operating funds. Army Sport report to the Ministry of Defence through the United Kingdom Amied Forces Sport Board (Pers Pol provides the Amils representative with Army Sport in attendance) and to ECABIEXCO through Comd SJC (UK) who is President of Army Sport.

ASCB Charitable Fund (A ¢ompany limitod by guarantee) Trusts•s' report {contlnued) For the year ended 31 March 2025 Structure. governance and management (contlnued) •. Related party relatlonshlps The only significant related party relationship is between the Amiy Sport executive and the ASCF; the Army Sport staff are classified as Crown Servants. Funding of the Army Sport executive is through a 60.40 combination of GIA funding and an annual grant from the ACF. The roles of the Army Sport staff and the ASCF are inextricably linked and are complimentary in supporting Army Sport's mission. Plans for future periods The current and future focus remains delivery of the Army Sport Plan 2024-2026. The plan will be formally reviewed and refreshed in 2026 and will look out at least two years to 2028. Directed by the current strategic objectives and focus areas, Army Sport must continue to grow income via the ASL and sponsorship. Demand for funds is increasing but we must now resist the temptation to drawdown cash from the investment fund to pay for day-to-day expenditure. Invested funds should be largely reserved for major capital investment projects. We will seek to better promote the ASL to the more th'an 30.000 serving soldiers who are not currently playing the lottery. Building on the success of our sport sponsorship partnership with Mongoose, sponsorship income continues to grow and we will seek greater sponsorship of Corps sport over the next 12-24 months. We will continue to encourage sport in the North and the regions with Trustees considering a major investment proposal in sporting facilities at Catterick Garrison at their August 2025 Board meeting - aligned to Focus Area 6 of the Army Sport Plan. A further business case will be submitted for Project HARINGTON. HARINGTON (delivery of an Army Sport App) has the potential to modemise and digitise the awareness. underslanding and communication of sport in the Army and the way we connect and engage with our soldiers. The project is aligned to Focus Area 4 of the Army Sport Plan. Army Sport will contlnue to support EtR actlvrty and seek to develop and exploit our relationship with key partners induding UK Sport, Sport England and Loughborough University. An update on approved capital projects is as follows". Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS) - two new 3G sport pitches, funded by ASCF {£1.8M) and RMAS internal funding, were formally opened on 30 Jul 25. MOD LynehamlHQ REME sports pitches have a Trustee approved grant of £0.285M to develop new floodlit rugby pitches. Due to a lack of public funds, the project is likely to be deleted or deferred at the Aug 25 Amiy Sport Board. In August 2023, the Trustees approved a £0.225M grant for a training room. workshop and storage facility at The Army Inshore Sailing Centre at Thoiney Island. Work was completed in Jan 25 and officially opened in Apr 25. The Amied Forces Equine Charity (AFEC) received a grant of £50K in Jul 24 to support the resurfacing of the Tidworth Equine Centre Outdoor Arena. This is a collaborative project with both AFEC and The Nuffield Trust. Although this sum was within the CEO'S delegated powers. Trustees were briefed and noted the grant in Mar 24.

ASCB Charitable Fund (A company Ilmlted by guarantee) Ind•pendent audltorfs report to tho Members of ASCB Charltable Fund Oplnlon We have audited the financial statements of ASC8 Charitable Fund (the 'Parent Charity) and its subsidiary (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 March 2025 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.

If we identrfy 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 perfomed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other Informatlon, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Oplnlon on other mattars pr•scrib•d by th• Compani•s Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: the information given in the Trustees, report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. the Trustees, report has been prepared in a￿rdance with applicable legal requirements.

Responslbllltles of trustees As explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities ststement, the Trustees (who are also the Directors of the Charity 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 detemine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error.

ASCB Charitable Fund (A company limited by guarantoe) Independ&nt audltorfs report to the Members of ASCB Charitable Fund (contlnued) Auditorfs responsibilities for the audlt of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial ststements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditotrs 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 misslatement when it exists. Misstatements Gan arise from fraud or error and are considered material if. individually or in. the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to Influen￿ the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities. including fraud. are InStan￿S of non-complian￿ 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 prO￿dureS are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities, including fraud Based on our understanding of the group and charitable sector generally, and through discussion with the Trustees and other management (as required by auditing standards), we identified that the principal risks of non- compliance with laws and regulations related to heatth and safety, antibribery, Gambling Commission rules and employment law. We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial ststements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial ststements such as the Companies Act 2006, taxation and pension legislation. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indicationi of noncompliance throughout the audit. We evaluated management's incents'ves and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate joumal entries to increase revenue or reduce expendrture and management bias in accounting estimates and judgemental areas of the financial statements. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: Discussions with management and assessment of known or suspected instsnces of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud; and Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates. and Confirmation of ￿lated parties with management. and review of transactions throughout the period to identify any previously undisclosed transactions with related parties outside the normal course of business; and Identrfying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls that managefflent has in place to prevent and detect fraud: and Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and reviewing correspondence with relevant regulatory authorities: and Review of significant and unusual transactions and evaluation of the underlying financial rationale supporting the transactions" and Identifying and testing journal entries. in particular any manual entries made at the year end for financial statement preparation: and Review of the findings of the latest Gambling Commission review: and Performing analytical prO￿dureS to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships. including related party fransactions. that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. Because of th8 inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a tnaterial 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. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves Intentional concealmont. forgery, collusion. omission or misrepresentation. Page 14

ASCB Charitable Fund (A company limited by guarantee) Independent audltorfs report to the Membors of ASCB Charitable Fund (contlnuad) As part of an audit in accordance wlth ISAS (UK), we exercise professional judgement and malntain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of m8terSal mlsstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audlt evidence that is sufficient and 8pproprlate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, Intentional omissions. misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understandlng of internal control relevant to the audit In order to deslgn audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiv.eness of the Charity's internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustees, use of the going concern b8sls of accounting and. based on the audit evidence obtained. whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or condltlons that may cast significant doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in my Auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, rf such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our concluslons are based on the audit evidence obtalned up to the date of my Auditor's report. However. future events or conditions may cause the charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the finanGial statements, including the disclosures. and whether the financlal statements r8present the underlyng transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Obtain sufficient appropriate audlt evidence regarding the financial Information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolldated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supeNlsion and perfomiance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

Pension commitments Up until October 2022 employees were members of the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme"(PCSPS), an unfunded defined benefit penslon scheme. Contributions on a 'pay-as-you-go' basis are credited.to the Exchequer under arrangements governed by the Superannuation Act 1972. A notlonal asset vaSue is ascribed to the scheme for the purpose of detemilnlng contribution rates. The PCSPS is a multi-employer scheme and the organisation is unable to identify its share of the underlylng assets and liabilities of the scheme on a consistent and reasonable basis. The PCSPS Is therefore treated as a deflned contribution scheme and the contributions are recognlsed as they are paid each year. If ASCF was to close. ASCF will be responsible for 50% of the outstanding penslon liability. A valuation of the liablllty was carried out in March 2024 whlch resulted in a valuatlon as at 31 March 2024 of £5.03 million. The liability has not been provided for in these financial statements on the basis that ASCF is going concern. In October 2022, it was agreed wirth Amy HQ (GIA) that no further members could loin the PCSPS. ASCF then entered a government scheme. Peoples Pension, a defined contrlbution scheme. All staff members who have joined SIn￿ this date {8 members of staff) and all new starters in the future will be added to this scheme. 25.
