## **Basingview Trust Limited** 

## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

Basingview Trust Limited is constituted by Memorandum and Articles of Association and is a company limited by guarantee.  It was incorporated on 6 July 2011 as a company and the company number is 07695477. It was registered as a charity on 2 August 2011 with a charity number 1143211. 

The Charity is run by the trustees who all act in an honorary capacity. A new trustee would receive copies of the previous years' Annual Report and Accounts and a copy of the Charity Commission leaflet 'The Essential Trustee : What you need to know'.

The subsidiaries are property trading and investment companies incorporated in England and Wales. 

## **Risk Management** 

The trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed.  Both manual and automated checks are regularly invoked, particularly those relating to the operations and finance of the charity.  The trustees are satisfied that these systems and procedures mitigate any perceived risks. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objectives of the charity are the advancement of the orthodox Jewish faith. 

## **Public Benefit Policy** 

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

Grants are made to charitable institutions and organisations which accord with the objects of the charity.

## **Basingview Trust Limited** 

## **Company Limited by Guarantee** 

## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report)** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

During the year the charity received donations of £NIL and other income amounting to £149,337 in investment income. 

During the year £259,808 was paid out by way of grants and support costs. 

Grants were awarded to institutions in the year in accordance with the charity's objectives and as detailed in the notes to the financial statements.  These grants were made in line with the stated objects of the charity and have been grouped appropriately.  A full list of the grants is available upon written request from the trustees. 

The charity has low governance costs comprising professional fees. 

There were no fundraising costs during the year. 

During the year the trustees sold one of the syndicate investment properties and purchased another one.  The gains made on the sale of the syndicate investment property amounted to £109,871 as disclosed on the face of the SOFA. 

There was an overall net expenditure during the year amounting to £600. 

## **Financial review** 

## **Investment performance** 

The investments of the charity have produced a return of 2% during the year, due to a lot of refinancing. This is more favourable than current rates on bank deposits. 

The trustees consider this acceptable when compared with returns available on deposits in any of the banking institutions.  These investment returns have been consistent for a number of years and are not at the expense of any exposure of loan to value covenants that would put these investments at risk. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The unrestricted fund represents the unrestricted funds arising from past operating results. 

The trustees are satisfied that the balance of the fund is an acceptable level of reserves given the nature of revenue receipts against grants payable. 

In considering the financial obligations of the charity, the trustees have resolved to maintain a minimum reserve, being the current assets of the charity. 

The trustees have considered the fair value of the investment property taking into account the loan to value of the properties as well as the nature and exposure of the syndicate properties.  The trustees consider the holding value to be the fair value. 

The trustees are delighted to have made many valuable contributions to the community as a result of this income and hope to be able to do so for many years to come. 

At year end the charity had free reserves, being the net current assets of £1,145,448.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Basingview Trust Limited** 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Basingview Trust Limited ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 charity’s accounts as 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 - matter of concern identified** 

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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the financial statements 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 

4. the financial statements 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). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **3. Accounting policies**

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Incoming resources** 

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

- income from donations, grants and rental income is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: 

- expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. 

- expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. 

- other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities. 

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. 

## **Investments** 

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment. 

## **Investments in joint property syndicates** 

This represents capital introduced by the company into the syndicates plus accrued surpluses less deficiencies but without revaluing the syndicate properties. 

Some of the syndicates in which the company is a participator have borrowings which are secured on the syndicate properties. 

The company accounts for its syndicate investments under the 'equity accounting' basis and thus the company's share of such borrowings are not included in these accounts.

## **3. Accounting policies** _**(continued)**_ 

## **Financial instruments** 

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. 

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. 

## **4. Limited by guarantee** 

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £l0.

During the year, the bank account of Basingview Trust Ltd was frozen by the bank on administrative grounds. 

Basingview Trust Ltd had committed to buy an investment, prior to the freezing of its bank account for a cash amount of £430,000.  Part of the arrangement was that if the bank accounts of Basingview Trust Ltd were still frozen and unable to repay the amount borrowed, then Anpride Limited would assume ownership of the investment. 

Anpride Limited agreed to pay this amount on behalf of Basingview Trust Ltd, and in exchange they received a £10,000 donation from Basingview Trust Ltd, to reimburse them for loss of income as a result of this short-term interest free loan.  The amount loaned was repaid in full by the year end. 

The trustees of Anpride Limited consulted externally with professionals prior to extending the above loan, to ensure there was no conflict of interest. 

## **21. Taxation**
