Conclusions relatlng to golng concern In audiling the financial slalemenls, we have concluded that the Iruslees, use of the going concem basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial slalements is appropriate. Bosed on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainlles relallng lo events or conditions that. individually or collectively, may c8s1 significanl doubl on the charill5 ability lo continue as a going concern for 8 pericKI of al least twelve months from wh8n th8 financial statements are authorised for issue.

Responslbilllles of Ihè M8mbers of Governing Body As explained mor8 fully in the Members ol the Gc>v8rning Body's responsibilities st8lèménl sel out on page 19, the trustees are responsible for th8 preparation ol the financial slatemtsnls and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such Internal control as the M6mb&rs ol the Governing Body determlne s necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstalemeril, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditorfs re$ponslbllltie5 for the audlt of the flnanclal statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 01 that Act. Our objectives are to obt8in reasonable assurance about whether the financial slaternents as 8 whole are free from material misslatemenl, whether due lo fraud or error, and to Issue an auditor's reporl that in¢ludes our opinion. Reasonabl8 assurence is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always delecl a material misstatemonl when 11 exists. Misstatements can arise fiom fraud or error and are ¢onsidered material il, individually or in agg regale, they could reasonably be expecled to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial slalemenls. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS IUKI we exercise professlon81 judgem&nl and mainlabn professional sceplicism Ihroughoul the audit. W8 also.. Identify and assess the risks of material misstat8menl of the financial statements, whether due lo fraud or Orror, deslgn and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence Ihal Is sufficient and appropriate lo provide a basis lor our opinion. The risk of not delecling a material misstatement resulting from fraud Is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions. misrepresentslions, or the override of internal ¢onlrol. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant lo the audit in order lo design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, bul not lor the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effeclweness of the charity's internal control.

If we conclude that a material uncèrtainly exists. we are required lo draw attention in our auditor's report lo the related disclosures in the financial slalements or, if such dlsclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audll 8vldence obtained up lo the dale of our auditorts report. However, future events or conditions may cause th8 charity lo cease lo continue 8s a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial slalemenls, including the dlsclosures. and wh81her the financial slalements repres¢nl the underlylng Ir8nsaclions and events in a manner Ihal achieves fair pres8ntation.

Th8 objectives of OLfr audit in r8specI of fraud, are,. lo identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial slalemenls due lo fraud,. to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and impl8menling appropriate responses to those assessed risks,. and lo respond appropriatety lo instances of fraud or susp8cled fraud identified during the audit. However, the piimary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governanc8 01 Ihe charity. Our approach was as follows.. We obtained an understandlng of the legal and regulatory requlremenls applSc8ble to the charity and considered Ihal the most significant are the Charities Act 2011, the Charity SORP, and UK financial reporting slanda¥ds as issued by the Financial Reporting Council. We obtained an understanding ol how the charity complies with these requirements by discussions with management and Ihose charg8d wilh governance. We ass6ssed the risk of material misslalemenl of the financial slatemenls, including the risk of malerial misslalemenl due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with managemenl and those charged with govemance. We inquired of management and Ihose charged with govern2nc8 as lo any known instances of non- compliance or suspected non-compli8n¢e with laws and r8gul8tions. Based on this understanding, we deslgned specific appropriate audit procedures lo identify instances of non-compliance wSlh laws and regulations. This included making Ènquiries of managemanl and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evldence as required. 22
MAGDALEN COLLEGE Independent Audltorfs Report to Members of th6 Governing Body of Magdalen Collège Year endèd 31 July 2025 There are inh8renl limitations in tho audit procedures described abov6. We are less likely lo become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to evénts and transactions reflected in the financial slalemenls. Also, the r15k of not detecting a material missta18menl due lo fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulllng from error, as fraud may involve dellberale concealm8nt by, for example. forgery or intentional misrspresentalions, or Ihrough collusion.

A summary of the results and financial position of each of the College's subsidiaries for th8 reporting year are disclosed in note 12. Prior year comparative information has been updal8d lo conform with cuwrenl year presentation. 2. Basls of Accounting The College's indDJidual and consolldaled financlal slalements have been prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Slandards, in particular 'FRS fj02: The FnancIal Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, (FRS 102). The College is a public benefit enlily for the purposes of FRS 102 and a registered charity. The College has therefore also prepared ils individual and consolidated financial slalemenls in accordance with 'The Statement of Recommended Practice applicabl8 lo charities pièparing their accounts in accordan with the Financlal Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Irel8nd' (Thè Charities SORP IFRS 10211.

Golng Concorn Th8 Mernbers of th& Governing Body have assess8d whether the use of th8 going concern b2SIS IS appropriate and have consldfjred possible events or conditions that might cast signifitanl doubt on the ability of the College lo continue as a going ¢oncern. The College has prepared cash flow and other forecasts, taking into account the potential pressures on income an(1 costs, which confirm the College wll have sufficient liquidity lo operate for at least the next twelve months from the dale of approval of thes8 rinancial staternenls. The College therefore continues lo adopt the going concern basis in preparing ils financial slalemenls. The principal acCounng policies adopted ale sel out below and hav8 been applS6d consislently throughout the year. 4. Accounting Judgements and Estimatlon Uncertalnly In preparing financial slalemenls il is necessary lo make certain judgements, eslimales and assumptions that aflecl the amounts recogni5ed in the financial statements. The following judgements and estimates are considered by the Governing Body lo have most significant effe¢l on amounts recognised the financlal stalemenls. The College carries investment property al fair valua in the balance sheat, with changes in fair value belng recognisod in the income ancj expenditure section of the SOFA.

MAGDALEN COLLEGE Statement of Accountlng Pollcles Year ended 31 July 2025 4. Accountlng Judgements and Estimation Uncerlalnty Iconllnuedl Before legacies ore recognised in the financial stat$menls, the Governing Body has to exerclse ludgemenl as lo what conslilules sufficient evidence of enlillemenl lo the bequest. Sufficient enlillemenl exists once nolificalion of paymenl has been received from the executorlsl ol the estate or eslale accounts are available which indicate Ihere are sufficient funds in the eslale after me8ting liabilities for the bequesl to be paid. 5. Income Recognltlon All income is recognised once the College has enlitlemenl lo the income, the economic benefit is probable and the amount can be reliably measured. a. Income Irom Fees, Office for Students {OFSI support and other charges for services Fees re1Vable, OFS support and charges for services and use of the premises are recognised in the period in which the related service is provided. b. Income from Donations. Grants and Legacies Donations and grants Ihal do not impose specific futLJre perform8JC8-relaled or olh8r specific conditions are recognised on the dale on which the charily has enlillemenl lo the resource, the amounl can be reliably measLJred and the economic benefit lo Ihe College of the donation or grant is probabl8. Donations and grants subject lo performance-related conditions are recognised as and when those conditions ore mel. Donations and grants subject to other specific conditions are recognised as those conditions are mel or their fuifilmenl is wholly within the control of the College and it is probable that the speulied conditions will be met. Legacies are recognised following grant of probate and once the College has received suffici8nl information from the executorlsl of the deceased's estate to be satisfied that the gift can be reliably measured and that the @conomio benefit lo the College is probablé. Donations, grants and legacies accruing for the general pu¥poses of the College are credlled lo unreslricled funds. Donations, grants and legacies, which are subj8cl lo conditions as ID their use impostsd by the donor or sel by the terms ol an appeal, are credited lo the relevant restricted fund or, where the donation, grant or legacy is required lo be held as capital, lo the endowment funds. Where donations are received in kind las dislincl Irom cash orother monetary asselsl. they are measured 81 Ihe f8irv8lue of those assets al the date of the gifi. c. Investment Income Interesl on bank balances is accounted for on an accruals basis with interest recognised in the period to which the interest relates. Income from fixed interest debt securities is recognised using the effective interest rale method. Dividend income and similar dislribulions are recognised on the dale the income becomes ex-dividend or when the right to the dividend can be established. Income from investment properties is recognised in the period lo which tho rental income relates. 6. Expenditur8 Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. A liability and related expenditure is recognised when a legal or conslruclive obligation commils the College lo expenditure Ihal will probably require selllemenl, the amount of which can be reliably measured or 8slifnated. Grants including scholarships, bursaries and other allowances that ar8 not performance-relaled are charged as an expense as soon as a legal or conslruclive oblioation for their payment arises. Grants subject lo perfOrman-re1ted condillons are expensed as the specified condlllons of the grant are mel. 25
MAGDALEN COLLEGE Statement of Accountlny Pollcles Year ended 31 July 2025 All expenditure including support costs and governance costs are allocated or apportioned lo Ihe applicable expenditure categories in the Slelemenl ol Flnancial Activities Ilhe SOFA). Support C051s whSch include governance costs (costs of complying with ¢onslitulional and slalulory reqU1ments) and other indirect costs are apportioned lo expenditure categories in the SOFA based on the estimated amount allribulable lo that 8clivily in the year. either by reference lo staff time or the use made of the underlying assets, as appropriJle. Irrecoverable VAT is included with the ilem of expendllure lo which il relates. Intra-group sales and charges between the College and ils subsidlaries ar8 excluded from trading incom8 and expenditure in the consolidated flnancial statements. 7. Leases Leases Ihat do nol transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified a8 operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged in the SOFA on a 'slraight line, basis Dver the relevant le8se terms. Any lease incentives are recognised over the lease term on a 'slraighl line, basis. 8. Tanglble Flxed Assets Land is slated al cost. Buildings and equipment are slated al cosl less accumulated d8precl8lion and any accumulated impairment loss&s.

Where a part of a building or Stem ol 8quipmenl is replaced and the Gosls capilalis8d, the carrying value of those parts replaced is derecognis8d and èxpènsed in the SOFA. Other 8xpenditure on equipment incurred in th8 normal day-to4ay running of the College and ils subsidiaries is charged to the SOFA as incurred. 9. Depr&ciation Depreciation is provided lo write off the cost of all relevant tangible fixed assets, less their eslimaled residual value, In equal annual inslalmenls over Ihelr expected useful economic lives as follows.. Freehold properties, including major extensions 50 years Equipment 5- 10 years Freehold land is not depreciated. The cost of maintenance is charged in the SOFA in the period in which it is incurred. At the end of each reporting perfod, Ihe residual values and useful lives of 8ssels are reviewed and adjusted if necessary. In addition. if events or change in circumstances indicate that the c8rrying value may not be recoverable Ih6n the carrying values of tangible lix8d assets are reviewed for impairment. 10. H9rltagè Assets The Colleg& does not consider that il holds any heritage assets that meet the definition of héritage assets under tha SORP. 11 has substantial long held hisloric assets which are used in the course of ils teaching and research aCtll1eS. These collections include anliqullies, works of arl, tapestries. books and manuscrlpls, archlv8s, sllverware, furniture and sculptures. As these assets are in regular use to support Ihe main objects of the College, they are regarded as functional rather than heritage assets. The college has taken advantage of the exemption within FRS 102 not to disclose transactions before 1 January 2015 as obtBining fBir values for these assets would be impracticable and the cost of obl8ining 26
MAGDALEN COLLEGE Statement of Accounllng Pollcles Year ended 31 July 2025 such valuations would outweigh the benefits to the users of these financial statements. From time to lime, the College receives papers and manuscripts bul these have not been accorded a value in the financial slalemenls due lo the difficulty In ascertaining a fair value. 11. Inv&stment5 Investment properties are initially recognised al their cost and subsequently measured al Ihelr falr value (market value) at each reporting dale. Purchases and sales of investment properlies are recognised on exchange of contr8cIs. Listed investments are initially me8sured at their cost and subsequently measured at Iheir f8ir value al each reporting dale. FAir value is based on their quoted price 81 the balance sheet date without deduction of the estimated future selling costs. Investments such as private eqL5ily funds which have no readily Identifiable markel value are initially rneasured al their costs and subsequently measured al their fair value at each reporting dale without deduction of the estimated lulure selling ¢os15. Fair value is based on th8 most recent valuations available from their respective fund managèrs. Other unquoted investrnenls are valued using primary valuation techniques such as earnlngs multiples, recent transactions and nel assets where reliable eslirnales can be made otherwise al cost less any impairmenl. Ghanges in fair value and gains and losses arising on the disposal ol investments are credited or charged lo the income or expenditure section of the SOFA Ès 'gains or losses on inveslmenls, and are allocated to the fund holding or dlsposing ol the relevant investment. 12.

Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash al banks and in hand and short-term deposits with a malurily dale ol three monlhs or less from the balance sheet date.

MAGDALEN COLLEGE Statement of Accountlng Pollcles Year ended 31 Ju5y 2025 15. Total Return Investment Accounting The College Slalules aulhorise the College lo adopt a 'lolal relurn, basis for the investment of ils permanent endowment, The College can invest ils permanent endowments wilhoul regard lo the capilallincome di81inclions of standard trust law and with discretion to apply any part of the accumulated lolal relum on the Snveslmenl as income for spending each year. Until this power is exerclsed, the lolal return is accumulaled as a component of the endowment known as the unapplied tolal relum that can either be reiained for investment or releas6d lo incom8 at th6 discr6tion of th6 Governing Body. 16. Fund Accountlng The total funds of the College and Group are allocated to unrestricted, restricted or endowment funds based on the terms sel by the donors or sel by the terms of an appeal. Endowment funds are further sub- dividod into permanent and oxpendable. Unreslricled funds can be used in furtherance of the objects of the College al the discretion of the Governing Body. The Goveming Body may decide that part of the unreslricled funds shall be used in future for a specific PLJrpose and this will be accounted for by Iranslers to appmpriale designated funds. Reslrf¢led funds comprise glfts, legacies and grants where the donors have specified that the funds are lo be used for particular purposes of the College. They consist of either gifts where the donor has specified (hal both the capital and any income arising musl be used for the purposes given or the income on gills where the donor has required that Ihe capilal be maintained and the income used lor speafic purposes. Permanent endc>wmenl funds arise where donors specify Ihal the funds are lo be retained as capital for the permanent benefit of the Gollege. Any part of the lolal return arising from the capital th31 is allocated to income will be accounted for as unrestricted funds unless the donor has placed restriction on the use of that income, in which case it will be accounled for as a restricted fund. Expendable endowment funds are slmllar lo permanent endowment In that they hav& b8en glven, or the College has determined based on the circumstances in which they have been given, for the long-lerm benefit of the College. However, the Governing Body may al their discretion determine to spend all or part ol the capital. 17. Pension Costs The College participates in the Unwersilies Superannuation Scheme IUSSI and the University of Oxford Staff Pension Scheme IOSPSI. These schernes hybrid pension schemes, providing dBfined b¢nelils as well as benefits based on defined conlribulions. The assets of each s¢heme are hekl in separate Iruslee-adminislered funds. Due lo the mutual nature of Ihe schemes, the assets are not allribuled lo individual employers and scheTne-wide contribution rates are sel. As a result, the College is exposed lo acluailal risks arlsing from èmploy68s of othèr amployèrs and is unable to idenlSfy its shar8 of the undédying assets and liabilities of the schemes on a consistent and reasonable basis. In accordance with Section 28 of FRS 102 'Employee Benefits,, the College therefore accounts for the schemes as if they were wholly defined conlribution schemes. ConseqLJenlly, the amount charged to the in¢omè and èxpènditurè account repr8sanls tha contributions payabl8 lo each schèmè. Where a scheme valuallon determines that tho scheme Is in defic51 on a 'lechnical provlsions, basis las was the case followlng the 2020 USS valualionl. the scherne's Trustee musl agree a Recovery Plan that sets out how each participating employer will fund an Dverall deficit. The College recognises a liability for 28
MAGDALEN COLLEGE stat$mant of Accountlng Pollcles Year ended 31 July 2025 the contributions payable under such an agreement Ilo the extent that they relate lo the deficill with related expenses being recognised in the Stalemenl of Financial Aclivilies. Critical accounting judgements FRS 102 distinguishes between a group plan and a mulli-employer s¢heme. A group plan typically consists of a collection of entities under common control. usually with a sponsoring employer. In contrast, a multi-employer scheme involves entities that are not under common control, SLJoh as the Universities Superannuation Scheme IUSSI and Ihe UnSv8rsity of Oxford Staff PensSon Scheme (OSPSI. The Colloge is s8lislied that both USS and OSPS meet the definition ol a mulli-employer scheme. Further discbsures relating lo the pension schemes can be found in note 22 29
