TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021. The annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (second edition of the Charities SORP (FRS102) October 2019, effective 1 January 2019).
Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITES
a. Policies and objectives
The principal object of the Trust is to develop and support the current InChl algorithm.
The Trust’s objects are specifically restricted to the advancement of science for the public benefit, in particular by:
-
Developing, reviewing and disseminating the internationally agreed standard representation, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) International Chemical Identifier (InChI), of defined chemical structure and their links to related information;
-
Developing an organisational framework for implementation of and compliance with such codes of practice;
-
Contributing to the use and understanding of chemical structure standards and related information.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
a. Review of Activities
In 2021 we continued to address our key questions: of how to widen the community, supporting the new application and extensions, while providing a governance framework to balance standards development with the expectations of our community.
The key strategic aims of the Trust remain:
-
Global adoption and use – increasing the engagement with the chemistry community for the benefit of science and business
-
Maintenance & extension of the InChI and applications – to facilitate rapid and effective research discovery and business innovation
-
Governance – to provide an organizational framework that ensures the sustainability of the standard
To progress these aims, we have recruited two additional part-time roles for the Trust, who were able to start in the last quarter of 2021.
Gerd Blanke (https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerd-blanke-b13115) is the Technical Director for the Trust. He is working closely with the working groups to help move the various activities to delivery in next versions of the code. Gerd has held senior positions in information technology and services across the research area of life science and chemical industry. His business development skills span chemical and bio informatics, databases, data analytics, business Intelligence, project management, and management.
Rudy Potenzone (https://www.linkedin.com/in/rudypoten) is the Director of Outreach and Marketing, including extensions to the website, a newsletter (InChI OUTREACH), and a program to reach out to potential new sponsors, developers and users. Rudy is an accomplished executive with a proven track record of developing products for life science informatics, knowledge management, workflow systems and electronic lab notebooks. Together with Steve Heller, our Project Director, these three positions will help us maximise the impact and application of the InChI.
However, we also sadly note the passing of Igor Pletnev. Igor was the developer and caretaker of the InChI software algorithm for over 15 years, first at NIST and then at the InChI Trust. Over the years Igor made great contributions to the InChI project. His knowledge of both chemistry and computer programming made him a unique person to carry out all these tasks while interacting with chemists around the world on an almost daily basis. While there were many demands on his work efforts with the InChI algorithm, Igor always was calm and friendly to all, a true professional at all times. He will be missed and dearly remembered for all of his outstanding work by all of us at InChI Trust and the global community of InChI developers and users.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)
b. Events and Outreach
In support of its strategic objectives, the Trust has organized and supported a series of events over several years, often in collaboration with related organisations such as IUPAC, to enable both the ongoing development and application of the InChI standard, and to encourage community input and outreach of its charitable activities.
While our ability to support physical events was curtailed by the pandemic, our community have showcased InChI at a number of virtual events. The highlight of these was a three-day NIH Virtual Workshop on InChI, organized by the NCI and held virtually. This included discussion of the use of InChI in chemistry, biochemistry, and related research domains. The webinar was well attended with 240 people logged into the Zoom workshop, from 37 different countries. The Trust Board thanks the NIH and NCI for organizing and running the workshop meeting, in particular Janelle Cortner (NCI) and her staff for the logistics provided. Presentations can be viewed at https://cactus.nci.nih.gov/presentations/NIHInChI_2021-03/NIHInChI.html.
In June 2021, the InChI Trust ran two Q&A sessions about the 1.06 InChI release. Questions were answered by an expert panel consisting of Jonathan Goodman, Evan Bolton and Gerd Blanke.
The NFDI4Chem project (an initiative to build an open and FAIR infrastructure for research data management in chemistry; https://www.nfdi4chem.de/) included several sessions on InChI and RInChI in their regular Stammtisch information sessions (https://www.nfdi4chem.de/index.php/event/stammtisch-chemotion/).
c. Standard and software development
The paper describing the latest 1.06 version of InChI (released Dec 2020) was published: Goodman, Jonathan M, Pletnev, Igor, Thiessen, Paul, Bolton, Evan & Heller, Stephen R. InChI version 1.06: now more than 99.99% reliable. J Cheminform, 13, 40 (2021). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13321-021-00517-z.
We are continuing to work closely with the IUPAC Division VIII InChI Subcommittee and the Committee for Publications and Cheminformatics Data Standards which can effectively act as the scientific prioritization groups for work which needs supporting by the Trust. This will be a significant development for the InChI as the Trust and IUPAC build on the InChI’s success, now encompassing both the core standard as well as new extensions and applications.
d. Membership and fundraising
The source for funding in 2021 was membership subscriptions, and we maintained our membership numbers as expected.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
FINANCIAL REVIEW
a. Review
The Trust received income of £133,149, all of which were membership subscriptions (2020: membership subscriptions £143,645). During the year expenditure was incurred of £118,790 (2020: £137,688), leaving net income of £14,359 (2020: £5,957). All of the Trust's funds are unrestricted. At the end of the year the Trust carried forward funds of £418,925 (2020: £404,566).
b. Reserves policy
The Trust has operated a reserves policy that should allow for two years of operational expenses as reserves, which would allow time to refocus activities should our revenues decline unexpectedly. This equates to $320k, and the current reserves at the end of 2021 are above this figure. However, the funding of the new positions for 2022-2023 to achieve the Trust’s objectives is expected to reduce the reserves significantly to around our target. We expect to reconsider the reserves policy in 2022.
c. Plans for the future
With our new roles, we expect to make a much bigger impact in planning and management of the development roadmap of the standard, and to build links with and support our growing community of InChI users.
We will continue to extend the standard through extensions to the standard as well as new applications – and work to define and fund these extensions. We will also move to a more open and transparent development framework, a key enabler for future success.
Supporting our community through workshops and Symposia have been successful in maintaining the scientific progress while bringing in a wider audience and these will continue.
d. Impact of Coronavirus on the Trust and going concern
The InChI Trust has been relatively unaffected by the continuing Coronavirus pandemic as of August 2022. We are fortunate to not be reliant on public fundraising, nor are our operations dependent on person-to-person contact. Most scientific conferences have been cancelled, and this has had an effect on our intended funding of workshop events which are usually held alongside such conferences. As a result we have been able to support virtual-only meetings to maintain engagement and progress.
Our finances have been stable into 2022, with the majority of our membership income already received – while an economic squeeze may affect our revenue in 2023 and beyond, the situation looks more stable than feared in 2021. Our community and membership covers publishing, academia and the life science industry, and these are likely to be affected in different ways.
The Trust remains financially solvent and sees no immediate threat to our ability to operate as a going concern. The Trustees will actively monitor the wider environment the Trust works in to gauge the likely future effects.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report 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 . Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);
-
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of InChI Trust Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Company (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Company's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

This report is made solely to the Company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
1.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements 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 applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (second edition of the Charities SORP (FRS102) October 2019, effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
InChI Trust Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
There were no significant judgements or estimates made by management in preparing these financial statements.
1.2 COMPANY STATUS
The Trust is a company limited by guarantee. In the event of the Trust being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the Trust.
1.3 GOING CONCERN
The Trustees have reviewed the financial position of the charity, including the impact of Coronavirus and have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements continue to be prepared on the going concern basis.
1.4 FUND ACCOUNTING
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
1.5 INCOME
All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Trust; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
Membership subscriptions are recognised in the year in which they are received except where there is an element relating to a future year, which is allocated accordingly between the two financial periods with future income being carried forward as deferred income. Entitlement to the income is deemed to be probable when the membership organisation has completed its internal approval process and is usually followed directly by the payment.
