Financial Review Incomirtg resources of the Foundation comprised donations, inve5tm¢nt and interest income. The Foundation received substantial contributions in the forni of expendable ¢ndowmenl in 2017, 2018, 2023, 2024 and 2025. The grants provide that the Trustee shall apply the income derived from the expendable endowment io such pujposes within its charitable objects as it may detemiine and may, at its discrction, decide ih8t all or any part of it may be expended on such purposes. However, despite the fact that the whole of the exp¢ndable endowment may be expended by the Trustee. it was the Settlor's wish that it be inv¢5t¢d to produ¢e in¢ome on a lon8-temi basis for charitable expenditure for the publi¢ ben¢fii. The Foundation's resources and capabilities have evolved since its fom)ation including r¢crnitment of Finance team comprising the Finance Director and, in early 2025, a Finance Manager. In the financial year the Foundation received a si8nifJcant grant increasing investable assets by approximately 36Q/o. This evolution ha5 necessitated a ¢ontinued focus on the investment strategy of the Foundation. Following the fomiation of the Foundation, the Trust¢¢ appointed a single investment manager to manage the investmcnt portfolio of the expendable endowm¢nt, Goldman Sachs International. With the receipt of additional funds in 2023, the knstee considered it prudent to engage a broad¢r set of investment managers and funds in order to diversify operational and mark¢t risks and also to enable a more efficieni control of investment management expenses related to specific a55¢t ¢la5s mandates.

For 5pe¢ifi¢ grants expected to materialise in the iinmediate future (within th¢ next three months}, the Trustee may choose to designate a part of the unrestricted funds to cover thos¢ wnount5 as design8ted funds. The TnJ5tee has reviewed the Foundation's operating eosts and the risks to which the Foundation is exp05¢d, particularly with regard to its investment portfolio. The Reserves Policy was reviewed during 2025, and taking these factors into a¢¢ount, it 15 the Trustee's poli¢y to retain, out of the Foundation's unrestricted income, £350,000 in r¢serves which is deerned sufficient for immediate outlays (other than those with respect to d¢signated funds, if any). This is an increase from £250,000 in the prior year in recognition of th¢ boundation's larger expense base. As at 31 December 2025, the Foundation has unrestricted funds of £3,607,543 {2024.' £1,685,521) and the designated funds were £2,115,118 (2024.. £837,594). Consequently, the reserves as at 31 December 2025 amounted to £1,492,425 (2024.. £847.927). Investment Policy The ultimate investment obj¢¢tive of the Foundation is to enable it lo fund charitable projects in the UK and elsewhere, where the r¢al funding value is maintained through time. Triangulating the current annual granf budgei {£4m). size of expendable endowment (£207m) and anticipated investment income (£5.Om), it is appropriate for the Trustee to have a long-tem investment horizon. Thi5 allows the Trustee to consider invesiments, such as private equity, with in excess of ten years duration. However, it is an ambition of the Trusiee that over time the annual grant budget will increase in real ternis, making it prudent for the majoriry of the portfolio to be managed to a shorter time horizon of five years. The Trust¢e ha5 adopted a long-tem) portfolio return objective of inflation + 3D/D {the 'lnv¢stment Objective"), measured in equal proportions of US and UK inflation indicators and for reporting purposes expressed in GBP. The Trustee aims to achieve its Investment Objective by reviewing, selecting and ongoing evaluating a range of discretionary inv¢stm¢nt managers and investment funds in line with the deierniined ass¢1 allocation. The selection 15 conducted asset class by asset class. 19
Karlsson Jativa Trustee's annual report (continued) Forthe year ended 31 December 2025 The Tnjstee. assisted by th¢ Finance Committee, will d¢t¢rtnine the appropriate asset allocation from time to time depending on market circumstances and short, mid and long-tern) needs with the ultimat¢ objective of enhancing the Foundation's ability to fulfil its objects. The I rustee is mindful of the fact that beneficiaries are located aeross many countries and the real value of grants from the Foundation will be subject to currency fluctuations. With the ultimate beneficiaries expected lo be based in Sweden, the UK and in Latin America and tonsidering the cost effectiveness, liquidity considerations and investment prdCti¢alities for investing in Swedish krona or various Latin American currencies, and in particular th¢ long-tem) horizon of ihe endowment fund's investment portfolio. the Trustee considers li reasonable to mainiain exposure to a diversified broad global currency mix without a detailed ambition ro match Currency exposure of the current set of beneficiary programmes. individual mandates or invesimenis are dcnominated and measured against a defined base currency (GBP, USD or EUR).

Responsibilities of the Trustee As explained more fully in the Trnstee'5 responsibilities statement set out on page 20 the Trusttt is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they giv¢ a tNe and fair view. and for such internal control as the Trustee deterniines is necessary to enable the preparation of rinancial statement5 that are free from material missiatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustee 15 responsible for assessing the Foundation's ability to Continue as a going ¢on¢ern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concem and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Foundation or to cease operations, or ha5 no realistic alternative but to do so. Audilor's responsibilities for the audlt of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in ac¢ordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements ar¢ free from Tnaterial misstatement, whether due to 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 23
Karlsson Jativa Independent auditor's report (continued) to the Trustee of The Kar15son Jativa Charitable Foundation accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when li exisis. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they tould reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken based on thes¢ finan¢ial statements. IegularitIes. including fraud, are instance5 of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our re5pon5ibilities, outlined above. to delect material misstatements in respect of irregulariiies, including fraud. Our assessment of the susceptibility of the entity's financial Stament to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, is ¢onsidered to be low. This conclusion was rea¢h¢d for th¢ reasons outlined below.. due to the relatively simple business model and low volume of iransactions within th¢ Trust, ther¢ are comparatively few unexpe¢ted fluctuations in the reported results and balan¢es and any such unexpected items would be 5p¢cifically enquired inio by us., and there are a number of individuals who comprise "manag¢ment" and therefore, there is no single individual who is likely to be able to ov¢rride ¢ontro15 to effect a fraud. We ascertained the most significant legislation was the Charities Act 2011 and where Televant the Charities A¢t 2022, money laundering legislation, health and safety and employment law. The extent ofcomplianee with these law5 and regulations was a55essed as part of our procedures on the related financial statement it¢m5 by.. enquiry of management to understand where there was susceptibility to fraud and whether they have the knowledge of any actual suspected or illegal fraud. enquiry of management to identify any instances of non.compli8nce with laws and r¢gulation$; and onsiderdtion of the controls that the Trust has established to address risks identified. or that othetwise prevent, deter ond dete¢t fraud, and how management monitors those control5. W¢ designed our audit procedures to respond io identified audit risks, including non-compliance with laws
nd regulations (leSular1tieS) that are maierial to the financial statements. Some of the specific procedures
perfomied to detect irregularities, in¢luding fraud, are detailed below.. the review of control accounts and joumal entries for large, unusual or unauthorised entries,. the analytical review of the detailed statement of financial activities for variances that are either unexpected or ¢on5idered not to be in a¢¢ordanc¢ with our understanding of the Thisi activities during the year; obtaining and reviewing for completen¢ss a list of entities and persons considered to be r¢lat¢d parties (as defined by Financial Reporting Standard 102} and reviewing the ledgers of the Trust for previously unreported re12ted party transaction5; and review of trdn5actions and journals for any indication of fraud, management override or bia5. Because of the inherent limitstions of an audiL 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 increase5 the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from th¢ events and trdnsactions 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 irregul8ritie5 occurring due to fraud rather than em)r, as fraud involves intentional con¢ealmenL forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

The Karlsson Jaiiva Charitable Foundation {"the Foundation") meets ihe definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The Trustee considers that ther¢ are no maierial uncertainties surrounding th¢ Foundation's ability to continue a5 a going concern. As not¢d in the Trustee's annual report, the target of the Foundation is to have reserves of £350,000. As 81 31 December 2025 the unrestricted funds of the Foundation were £3,607,543 (2024.. £1,685,521 l and the designated funds W¢Te £2,115,118 {2024'. £837,594). Cons¢qu¢ntly, the reserves as at 31 December 2025 amounted to £1,492,425 (2024.. £847,927) which is in ex¢¢ss of the target, and hence the Trustee eonsiders the going basis io r¢main appropriate. With respe¢t ¢0 ¢he next reporting period, the most Significant area of uncertainty that affe¢ts the reserves of the Foundation 15 the performance of investment markets which will deiemiine the earrying value of the investments held by the Foundation. The significance of fixed asset investments to the ongoing financial sustainability of the Foundation is considered in the financial review, principal risks and investment policy sections of the Trustee's annual report. bl Income f•¢ognltlon All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial A¢tivitie5 when the Foundation is legally entitled to the income. it is probable that the income will be re¢¢ived, and the amount of income can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Income from donations is included when any condition5 for receipt have been met and there is reasonable assurance of receipt which is usually when the Foundation ha5 control over the income. Investment income is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably which is usually upon notification to the Foundation from the investment manager. cl Expondlture recognitlon Liabilities are recogni5ed as expenditure a5 500n as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Foundation to that expendiiure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and th¢ amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
