In prèparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the group's and the charilab18 company's ability to conlinue as a going concern. disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the TTuslees either intend to liquidate the group or the charitable company or lo cease operations, or have no iealisllc allerngtive but to do so. Audltof's r•spon$lbllltl¢$ for th• audit of the flnan¢lal slatements Our obj8clives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial slalements as a whole are ffee from rnalerial misslatemenl, whether due lo fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's 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 misslaternenl when it exists. Misslatemenls can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, indiviéually or in th8 aggregatè, Ihey could (easonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud. are instances of non-compllance with laws and regulalions. We design procedur8s in line with our responsibilities, oullined above, lo delect material misslalemenls in respect of irregularitles. including fraud. The extent lo which our pro¢edures are capable of delecling irre9ularilies, including fraud, is detailed below. Our assessment of Ihe susceptibility of the group's and the charitable company's financial slalemenls lo material mi5slalement, including how fraud might occur, is considered to be low. This conclusion was réached aller the consideration of the following.. due lo the relatively simple business model and low number of Iransaclions within the group and the charitable company there afe comparaliv8ly few unexpected fluclualions in the reported results and balances and any such unexpècted items would be specifically enquired into by us., and there are a number of individuals which comprise -management~ and therefore there is no single individual who is likely lo be able to ovetride controls lo effect a fraud. We designed our audit Procedures to respond to identif*d audit risks, including non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregulariliesl that are material lo the financial statements. Some of the speciflc procedures performed lo delect irregulaflties, including fraud. are detailed below.. discussions with the management involved in the risk and compliance functions including consideration of known or suspected instances of non<ompliance wilh laws and regulations and fraud., Ihe review of the control accounts and journal entries for large, unusual or unauthorised entries-

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit. there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading lo a malerlal rni3slalement In Ihe flnancial statements or non<omplian¢e with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from Ihe events and transactions reflected in Ihe financial statements, as we will be less likely to be¢ome aware of instances of non-compliance. The nsk is also greater regarding irrègularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealmenl, forgery, collusion, omission or mlsrepresenlation.

The financial slalements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the Charity. A summary of th8 commer¢lal trading op8rations of Ihe 8ubsidiary undertakings is Shown in note 2. The results of the $ubsidiaries are consolidated on a line by line basis.

Net loss of the Foundation for the year was £8,437,933 {2023- loss.. £75.202.346). The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been ¢onsislenlly applied lo all years presented unless oth8Mise stated. Status of Funds The entire resources of the funds are unrestricted and the Trustees have complete discretion for their use in pursuance of its objectives. Incomè r•eognltion Income is recognised once the Foundation has enlillement lo the fiJnds and il is probable that the funds will be received within the Foundation or on behalf of the Foundatson and the monetsry value of the income Can be measured wlh sufficient reliability- Donations received for the general purposes of the Foundation are credited to nstricted funds. Donations for purposes festricled by the wishes of the donor are taken to restrictèd funds. Investment income of the Foundalion is derived from dividend and in18resl receivable from inveslments and debentures and are a¢¢ounted for in the year in which the Foundation is entitled to roceipl. Inleresl from deposil accounts are accounted for 8n accruals basis.
Page 21 THE OLD DART FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Income recognition (contlnued) Income from trading activitles includes rental income earned from investment properiies by the Subsidiary undertakings lo raise funds for the Foundalion. All income is included in the SOFA when Ihe Foundation is entitled to the income and the amount can be quanlilied with reasonable accuracy. Exp•ndlture r•cognltlon All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basls and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation lo make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be requiTpd and the amount of the obligation can be me8sured reli8bly, 11 is categorised under the following h?adings'. The cost of raising funds from other trading acliviliÈs - consists of interest payable and costs incurred in respect of the properties held by the sUbsidry undertakings. The cost ol raising funds Irom Inveslmenls - conslsls ol Investment management and custodian fees. Charitable activities - comprise ol grants and donations made during ihe year and are expended Ihrough the SOFA when the offer is conveyed lo the re¢ipient and there is a reasonable expectation that the recipionl wlll receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relaling lo performance Ihen the grant 15 only ac¢rued when any unfulfilled eonditions are outside of the control of Ihe charily. The Trusiees have made the decislon not to discount grants committed for future years. Support costs allocatlon Support Costs are those that assist the work ol the Foundation but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office Costs. governance costs, and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Foundalion and include project management carried oul al headquarters. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated lo cost of raising funds and expenditure on Gharilable activities on 8 basis consistent with use of the resources. Flx¢d As8•t Inv08tment8 Inveslmenls in quoted securities held by the Foundation are recognised al closing mid-market value al the balance sheel date. Subsequently, they are measured al fair value with changes recognised in 'Net gain/{loss> on investments, in the SOFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otheiSe be measured reliably. Othei investments are measured at cost less Impairment. Cash h81d for investment is included within the Fixed Assets Investments, The Foundation's inveslments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at their net asset values at the year end.
Page 22 THE OLD DART FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 ACCOUNTING POLICIES <eontlnued) Invo8tm•nt Proporti Investment properties are held by the subsidiary companies for long-lerm nveStrnent. Investment properties are measured at fair value al each reporting dale with changes in fair value reco9nised in 'Net 9ainl(loss) on revaluab'on of investment pr¢)perties' in the SOFA. D•btors and credltors r•celvabl• I payable wlthln ong year Debtors and creditors receivable or payable within one year are measured al transaction price, less any impainnent, and are measured subsequently at amortised ¢ost using the effective interest method. Any losses arisin9 from impaiimenl are re¢ognised in expenditure. Loans and borrowlng• Loans and borrowings are initially recognised al the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently. they are measured al amorlised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement conslilules 8 finance transaction it is measured at present value. Provlslons Provisions are recognised when the Foundalion has an obllgation at the balance sheet dale as a résult of a past evenl, it 1$ probable that an oufflow of economic benefits will b• required in satllemenl and the amount can be feliably eslimaled. Foraign Curren¢168 Assets and118bililies denominated in forèign currencies are translated at Ihe rate of exchange ruling at the Balance Sheet dale. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are converted at Ihe rale of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. All translation differen¢es are taken lo the SOFA as they arise. Flnon¢lal Instruments The Foundation enters into financial instrum8nl transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and Greditors. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors or creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undi5counted amount of the cash or othei ¢onsideralion, expected lo be paid or received. However if the ariangemenls of a short-lerm inslrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed al a rate of interest that is not a mafket rate, the financial assel or liability is measured, initially, al the present value of the future Gash flow discounted at a market rale of interest for a similar debl instrument and subsequenlly measured at amortised cost using the effective inleiest rate method.
Page 23 THE OLD DART FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 AccouKfiNG POLICIES {¢onllnued Taxation The Foundation is not subject to any taxes on its charitable activities. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred. Golng concern Whilsl the Trustèes are commltted lo spend dovm the resources of the Foundatlon, cash flow forecasting exercises anticipate is planned to happen in 2029. It is therefore considered that prepaialion of financial statement5 on a goin9 concern basis is appropriate as the Foundation will continue lo operate lor the foreseeable fulure. The ongoing geopolitical conflicts and economic impacts thereof have created opèrational and financial pressures for many organisalions. The Trustees have.considered the ¢ontingency plans in place, the level of funds held, Ihe expected level of income and expenditure and cash flow forecasts for 12 months from authorisin9 these financial statements for si9ning and believe Ihal no rnalerial uncertainties exist. The Trustees consider the adoption of the going concern basis in prèparing theso financial Statements is appropriate. Judg•ments and k•y 80urc•$ of ostlmatlon uncértalnty The following judgements and key areas of estimation uncertainty have been made in the process of applying the above accounling policie8 have hèd the most significant effect on amounts recognised in Ihe financial slalemenls.. a) Investment property valuations are performed by property agenls registered with R5CS as al 31 December on an open markel value for existing use basis. The valuation is inherently subjective with an underlying uncertainty as lo what price would be achieved were the properties made available for sale. b) Valuation of debenlure assets previously included wllhln Inveslmenls and cash under management was reviewed by the Trusl8es in 2020 with assumptions made in respect of the reliable measurement, probability of recoverability and the timing of eventual receipl. Following this Teview, the Trustees considered and continue lo conslder il reasonable to provide full impalmient to both the capital and accretion in these Financial Statements.

A deferred tax liability of £2,805,000 (2023 - £3,551,000) in fespecl of the investment propety revaluation surplus has not been recognised as it is considered probable that a glft aid payment would be made by the subsidiary undertakings which would sel against the profil for tsx purposes, hence it is not considored probable that the deferred lax liability will crystallise.
