A consolidated sL91emenl of financial activities is presented on page 13.
Cha￿table donations made by the Trust are administered in accordance with the wishes of the donor in the case
of restricted donations and in the the case of unrestricted donations. in accordance with the TNSI Deed and al
the trustees. discretion, as explained in this report.
As the Tru51 is the ultimate majority shareholder of the trading and investment company. OMC Investments
Limited, the results ol that company and ils subsidiary companies are consolidated into the financial statements
of the Marcela Trust. How the consolidated figures impact on the Ttusl's accounts is explained in the Notes to
the Financial Statements.
The Directors, Report included in the Financial Statements of QMC Investments Limited outlines the significant
factors affecting that company's performance and outlook and the Irustees are kept ir)formed of the comp8nls
activities al trustee meetings during the year.
. Impact of Covid.19 on the Charity
The Iruslees. policy is lo make donations from cash resourees in the Charity's bank account and always lo leave
funds available for the administration and audit of the Charity. This reduces the risk of financial exposure. The
Trust has no direct operational 2Ctivities which could represent other direct risk exposure.
The Trust's main asset is 95.54/0 of the shares of Omarca Investment Holdings Limited, which is a dormanl
intermediary holding company which owns 1000/0 of the share5 of OMC Investments Limited. OMC Inveslmonts
Limiled's principal activities are property investment, management and the operation of three hotels through ils
subsidiary companies.
The risks lo which OMC Investments Limited is exposed are therefore by extractign indirect iisks for the Marcela
Tnjst. According lo the 8ccounls of OMC Ir¢vestments Limited, the negative imparts and challenges caused by
the Covid-19 Pandemic at the lime of wrilirsg are considered to be largely behind us. The major risks to vthich the
company is currently exposed arise as a direct consequence of the Russian invasion of the Ukraine earlier in
2022. This has caused soaring electricity, gas and oil prices not only in the U.K. where the company operates,
but W0￿dwIde. This in turn, coupled with the difficulties of exporting grain from the Ukraine, has impacted on
prices of the majority of goods includirkg food, resulting in a rapid and sharp rise in inflation, currently al 11.1 Q
(October 20221, the hlghest rate for 41 years, and the Bank of England has increased inlerosl rates on seven
occasions this year in response.
The directors of OMC Investments Limited consider that the company remains fvndamenlally robust to face the
expected economic challenges brought on by high inflation and that revenues and prolits will be steady in the
Coming year.

d. Performance and impact of subsidiary undertakings
OMC Investments Limited makes charitable donations lo the Trust from ils annual operating profits and the Trust
administers the donations. The truslees do not actively fund raise.
In the financial year ended 31 July 2022 the Company reported a proftl of £2,974.124. The trading figures of
OMC Investments Limited's Iwo subsidiary companies which operate hotels in Leeds and Colchester la profil of
£174,457 and a loss of £72.576 respectively} are consolidaled in the results of OMC Investments Limited.
The company's business activities and that of its subsidiary companies and some of its tenants. particularfy
those in the hospitslily sector, continued lo be impacted by the Pandemic and Government imposed restrictions
in the first eight months of the financial period. which saw the rise ol the highly infectious Omicron Variant from
late November 2021 through to March 2022.
This resulted in mass Cancellations of hotel and restaurant bookings for the Grucial Christmas period from late
November through to the New Year. Similarly, the re-introduction of the Work from Home" ruling caused a
marked slowdown in office letting activty in the London market and cancellations of hotel reservations in the first
few months of 2022.
The business climate slart8d lo improve from late March 2022 onwards and overseas travel possibilities also
started to open up, albeit travel was plagued for months by disruption at the main airports and ports due lo labour
problems resulting from the Pandemic. This adversely impacted revenues from overseas tourists al our hotels.
Against this background during the financial year five new high street leases and one high street lease renew81
were concluded and two new office leases and Iic8nces were completed at Robert Street. meaning that all
available Spa￿ in the building is now let.
In October 2021 a small high yielding estsle was acquired in Ipswich town centre comprising five retail unlls.
Two new leases and one lease renewal were completed post purchase and a small amounl of capital
expenditure has been invested in upgrading the extemal parking and circulation areas.
The shares of the company's subsidiary company in Romania which held the property known as Castel Salbek In
Wèstern Transylvania, were sold during the period. The funds were allocated for use towards fulure asset
Pu￿haseS in the U.K.
Towards the end of the reporting period a large retail store in Scarborough town centre, occupied by a malor
national retailer, was acquired.
Two donations amountin9 10 £450.000 in tolal were made lo the Marcgla Trust during the year.
The negative impacts and challenges caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic ale now considered lo be lar9ely
behind us. However serious economic difficulties have arisen as a direct consequence of the Russian invasion of
the Ukraine eartier this year. This has caused soaring electricity, gas and oil prices not only in the U.K. where
the Company operates, but worldwide. This in lum, coupled with the difficulties of exportin9 grain from the
Ukraine, has impacted on the prices of the majority of goods including food, resulting in a rapid and sharp rise in
inflalion, currently at 11.1 % (October 20221, the highest rale for 41 years, and the Bank of England has
increased interest rates on seven occasions this year in response.
A forecast has been prepared for Ihe next twelve months. The directors consider that the company remains
robust lo face the expected challenges brought on by high irbflalion and that revenues and piofits will be steady.

## **Independent auditors' report to the Members of The Marcela Trust** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of The Marcela Trust (the 'parent charity') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 July 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). 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn. 

This has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent charity's affairs as at 31 July 2022 and of the Group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **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 Auditors' 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 charity'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.

**The Marcela Trust** 

## **Independent auditors' report to the Members of The Marcela Trust (continued)** 

## **Other information** 

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' 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: 

- the information given in the Trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- the parent Charity has not kept sufficient accounting records; or 

- the parent Charity financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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 charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

**The Marcela Trust** 

## **Independent auditors' report to the Members of The Marcela Trust (continued)** 

## **Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 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 Auditors' 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: 

## _Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities, including fraud_ 

Based on our understanding of the charity, the group and their sectors as a whole, 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 employment law, anti-bribery, GDPR, the Companies Act and the Charity Commission. We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities SORP (FRS 102) Second Edition (released October 2019), and other relevant charity legislation. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We evaluated Trustees' and management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks related to management bias in accounting estimates and judgemental areas of the financial statements such as the valuation of subsidiaries and valuation of investment properties, as well as posting inappropriate journal entries to increase revenue or reduce expenditure within the trading subsidiaries’ accounts. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: 

- Discussions with management and assessment of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations including health and safety and fraud, and review of the reports made by management; and 

- Assessment of identified fraud risk factors; and 

- Checking and reperforming the reconciliation of key control accounts for trading subsidiaries; and 

- • Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships, including related party transactions, that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; and 

- Confirmation of related 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 

- Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates; and 

- • Reviewing the fair value of investments held in subsidiary companies, with reference to their net assets at the reporting date; and 

- Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and reviewing correspondence with relevant tax and regulatory authorities; and 

- Obtaining and reviewing bank audit confirmation letters to verify cash at bank levels at the reporting date; and 

- Review of significant and unusual transactions and evaluation of the underlying financial rationale supporting the transactions; and 

- Review of the property valuation reports, assessment of significant underlying assumptions and of management's expers' independence and objectivity; and 

Page 10 



**The Marcela Trust** 

## **Independent auditors' report to the Members of The Marcela Trust (continued)** 

- Proof in total workings and substantive testing conducted on income streams for trading subsidiaries; and 

- • Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any manual entries made at the year end for financial statement preparation. 

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

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: 

- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate 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 understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness 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 basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions 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 our Auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern. 

- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 

- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102)
Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Slalement of Recommended Practice applicable lo charities
preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK
and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 leffe¢live 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Charities Act 2011.
The financial ststemenls have been prepared lo give a and fairf view and have departed from
the Charities {Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only lo the extent required to provide a 'lrue
and fairf view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP {FRS 1021 published on 16
July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended
Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The M8reela Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities
are initially recognised al historical cost or Irarssaclion value unless otherwise slated in the relevant
accounting policy.
The Consolidated ststemenl of financial activities ISOFAI and Consolidated balance sheet
consolidate the financial slatemerÈls of the Group and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the
subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.
No separate SOFA has been presented for the charity alone because the charity has taken
advantage of the exemption available.
These financial statements are presented in stewling which is the functional currency of the 9roup and
are roLFnded lo the nearest £1.
2.2 Golng ton¢ern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the truslees believe that
no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the
expected level of income and expenditure for the nexl 12 months from aulhorising these financial
stslemenls. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the
charity to be able to continue as 8 going concern.

2.14 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligallon at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past
event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benafil will be required in settlement, and the amount
of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilitses are recognised at the amount that the Charlty anticipates it will pay lo settle the debt or the
amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured al the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where
the effect of the lime value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those
amounts. discounted at the pre-tax discount rale that reflects the risks specifie lo the liability. The
unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Consolidated slalement of financial activities as a
finance cost.
2.15 Doforred taxatlon
Full provision is made for deferred lax assets and liabilities arising from all timing drfferences
beiween the recognition of gains and losses in the financial statements and recognition in the lax

be suitable taxable surpluses from which the future reversal of the undertylng timing differences can
be deducted.
Deferred lax assets and liabilitie5 are calculated at the lax rates expected to be effective al the lime
the liming differences are expected lo reverse.
2.16 Flnancial instruments
The Group only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial
instwments. Basic financial instrumer¢ls are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently
measured al their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequenlly
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest melhod.

amounts payable by the Group lo the fund in respect of the year.

furtherance of the general objeclNes ol the Group an(J which have not been designated for other

Crltical accountlng estlmates and are•$ of Judgment
Eslimales and judgments are eontinually evaluated and are based on historical experience and oiher
factors. including expectslions of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circyjmslances.
Critrcal aeeounting estimates and assumptions..
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting acco￿ntIng estimates
and assumptions will. by definition. seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and
assumptions that have a significant risk of eausing a material adjustment to the amounts of
assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below. The key a$5umptions concerning
the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty al the reporting dale that have a significant risk
of causing material 8djuslment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial
year relate to delem)ining the fair value of the investment properties, which are sensitive to fluctuations in
the propety market.
