loyalty arises the Trustee must declare the nature and extent of any interest, direct or indirect, which he or she has

quorum in any decision of the Truste¢s on the matter.
Investment policy
The Trustees, policy is to Invest surplus funds in fixed interest deposits since the value of investments can fall.

Risk management
The Trustees do not consider that the Charity is exposed to any major risks. In common with many other charitÉes
in the current economi¢ climate, it continues to be reliant on the goodwill of members and considers that it has
adequate reserves to meet obligations now and in th¢ futur¢.
All charity activities are risk &ssEss¢d to minimise any risks through our activity and appropriate levels of
insurance are h¢ld. Risk ass¢5sments are Teviewed annually or as r¢quired. Budg¢tary and internal control risks
are minimised by the implementation of procedures for the authorisation of all transactkoiis and projects.
Attention 15 always paid to risks relating to Health and Safety given the charity involvement with Land
management issues arising during the year, meetings discuss and review Health and safety risks on a regular basis.
Governance processes and Trust Policies and procedur¢s are reviewed on an annual basis to ensure they are fit for
purpose and reflect current best p￿CtIce.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES CONT'D
(Amended 13th June 2024)
The objective of the Charity is to promote the conservation, protection and improvement of the physical and
natural environment (including its Flord and Fauna) t]]rough the making of grants to charities registered or activ¢
in the United Kin(rdom whose purposes are in particular but not limited to, the promotion of the conservation,
protection and imPiDvement of the physical and natural environment (including Tts Flora and Fauna).
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable aetivities
The Trustees report that during the period the charity received donations of £2,203,583 (2024.. £nil) and grant5
were made to appropriate applicants operating under the guidelines of the charity. Grants totaling £21,000 were
paid out in the period (2024: £3,000).
The significantly increased and exceptional donations received during 2025 came from a deceased long-tern]
patron of th¢ charitable entity fiY)m his estate, The £2,203,583 is representative of the remaining cash donated to
the charity onc¢ administration of the estate has been completed.
In 2025 the charity received income from the rights transferred to it by the original land donation in 2023. This
included Tree crop compensation of £156,136 and £261,444 in regard to leases upon the land with energy
companies. Both 50ur¢es of income are deemed to be in contribution to the conservation, protection and
improvement of the physical and natural environment on the land and will go towards fuithering the charitable
aims of the ¢harity.
As a result of this significant increase in income th¢ Trustees have recognized the need to consti'uct systems and
controls robust enough to distribute and designate liquid funds in line with the ch￿'ity'S objectives and increased
grant potential. The Trnstees have therefore started to plan and tske steps to implement the aforementioned
systems and n¢cessary ¢ontrols.
The land acquired by the Charity comprises SI￿]fIcant area5 of forestry rancring from good quality to poor quality
timber, peatlan(L bogland, wetland and small lochans which provide a diverse environment for local species of
wildlife and birds. The Trustees reCO.(￿lSe their responsibility in mana(ring these assets in a positive and
environmentally friendly manner in line with the objectives set out in the Charity's constitution.
STATEMENT OF PUBLIC BENEFIT
From l April 2008, section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 requires all chartties to meet the legal requirement5 that its
aims are for the public benefit. The Trustees confirm that they have coinplied with the duty to have due regard to
the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
The Charity Commission states that there are two principles to be met in order to show that an organisation's aims
are for the public benefit: firstly, there must be an identifiable benefit or benefits and secondly that the benefit
must be to the public, or a section of the public.
The Trustees are satisfied that the aims and objeetives of the charity, being the protection of the na￿ra[
environment in which we Itve, Meet these principles.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The year to 3151 March 2025 saw incoming resources to the charity of £2,696,391 (2024: £475.934)' expenditure
was £ l i9,544 (2024: £121.663 restated). As a result there a surplus of £2,556,847 (2024: £354,271). This
comprised a surplus on unrestricted funds £2,556,847 (2024.. i54,271) and designated funds of £nil (2024: £nil
reststed). The balance on unrestricted funds as at 31 $1 March 2025 was £794,143 (2024: £440,879). The balanc¢
on Restricted funds as at 31$1 March 2025 wag £85.992 (2024: £85,992) and the balance on designated funds as at
31 Sl March 2025 was £8,012.145 (2024: £5,808.562 restated). As at 31 st March 2025 the charity held assets of
£8.892,280 (2024: £6,335,433 restated). The policy of the cha]'ity remains to earn surpluses on unitstricted ￿ndS
activittes to ￿rther strengthen the financial position to enable it to further invest in delivering the ¢harity's aims
The Trustees have taken the view that placino land funds transferred in 2023 in a designafrd fund provides a more
Eneaningful presentation of the charity's umtstricted fund position. This has continued in 2025.
Freehold property and current assets
During the 2023 year the asset value both long terni and current increased significantly due to the donation of
freehold land ftnto the charity along with the rioht to recovery the Value added tax paid over to HM Revenue and
Customs in regards to the land donated. £982,000 in regards to a VAT claim on the transfer of the land has been
received into cash funds during 2023. The land is split into three categories within the notes to the financials
statements being Freehold Land value, Land under lease which is subject to amortization over the lease tern) and
Investment property that generates rental income.
Reserves policy
The Trustees have based their reserves policy on the liquid assets of the Charity. Th¢ Trustees policy is to maintain
free reserves at a level at l¢ast equival¢nt to fund its future operations for six months. Based on the financial
statements tbe amount of fr¢¢ reserves is in excess of this amount at the year end.
Th¢ Charity carries adequate reserves to enable it to continue operations for the foreseeable ￿tUre and funding
will continue to flow in. On this basis the Trusfres ¢onsid¢r it appropriafr to prepare th¢ Financial Stafrments of
the Charity on a going Concern basis.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The Trustee5 understand that futur¢ incom¢ streams will provid¢ additional funding to enable the Charity to
continue with its objectives.
The Trustees have moved the assets of the eharitable ineorporated Organisation into a Scottish charitable
incorporated organization in October 2025 due to the land owned being a Scottish estate and all of the Trustees
being resident in Scotland. The new Scottish Charitable incoTporated organization will hav¢ the same charitable
purposes and the same giDup of Trustees. The transfer of assets will coincide with the change in the obje¢tives of
this charity to allow for donations to charities based in the United Kin(Jdom. The charity commission have been
made aware of the transf¢r of assets. Based on legal advice obtained the Trustees believe that the transfer of assets
betw¢en incorporated charities does not require the consent of Charities Commission.

assets of the charity have been transferred after the year end (October 2025) into Heritage Concern Foundation SCIO.
The Trustees therefore do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing

as described in note l. Our opinion is not modifted in respect of this matter.

En the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audiL
we have not identifIed material misstatements in the Trustees. Annual Report including the Strateoic Report.
We have nothingto Teport in respect ofthe following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports)
Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:_

from branches not visited by us.
the f]nancial statanents are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns,
certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not obtained all the information and explanations llecessary for the purposes of our audit.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
As explained inore fully in the truste¢s' responsibilities statement set out on pages six, the trustees are responsible for
the preparatton of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such
internal control as they detemiine is necessary to enable the preparatÉon of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are Tespot]sible for assessÉng the Charity's ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going conc¢rn basis of
accounting unless the trust¢¢s ¢ither intend to liquidate the Charity or to r¢ase operations, oy have no realistic
alternativ¢ but to do so.
OUR RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Our obje¢tives are to obtain Teasonable assurance about wh¢ther th¢ financial statements as a whole are free from
mat¢rial misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high lev¢1 of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducied in accordance with
ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and
are considered mateTTal if. individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial stateixents.
OUR RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDI.T OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS {Cont'd)
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of intgularities, including
fraud is detailed below..
We liave identified ai'eas of law5 and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the
financial statements frorn our gen¢ral commerclal experTenr¢, knowledg¢ of th¢ s¢ctor, a review of r¢guSatory and
legal cO￿espondence and thTough discussions with Trustees and other management obtained as part of the work
required by auditing standards. We have also discussed with the Trustees and other management the poli¢ies and
procedures relating to compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated laws and regulations throughout the
team and remained alert to any indications of non-complÈance throughout th¢ audit.
Page 8

Independent Auditor's Report to the Trustees of
Heritage Coneern Foundation CIO
The potential impact of diffeTent laws and retrulations varies considerably. The Charitable Organisation is subject to
laws and regulations that directly impact the fuiancial stateinents and we have assessed the ext¢nt of compliance wtth
such laws as part of our financial statements audit. We evaluated management's in¢entive5 and opportunities for
fraudulent manipulation of the ftnancial statements (including risk of ov¢rride of controls) and detennined that the
principal risks were related to management bias in accounting esttmates and jud(rmental areas of the finan¢ial
statements such as depreciation of tanoible fixed assets. We carried out detsiled substantive tests on accounting
estiinates, including reviewing the methods used by managern¢nt to make those ¢stimates, re-perforniing the
calculation, and reviewing the outcome of prior year estimate5.
We are not responsible forpreventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws
and regulations.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc,opy.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description fornis part of our auditor's

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
l Accounting polieie$
Basls of preparation
The financial statempA)ts have been prepared in accordance wÈth Accounting and Reporting by Charities:
Statement of Recommend¢d Practice applicable to charities preparino thety accounts in accordance with the
Charftties Act 2011. The CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under Charittes Act 2011. Assets
and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless othenvise stated in the
relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
Following the year end the assets of the CTO have been transferred into Heritage Concern Foundation SCIO
(October 2025). The transfer has been notified to Charities Commission prior to transfer, The assets are valued
at realisable value at the year end. The Trustees are committed to ensuring that the CIO meets all its liabilities
aftei. date for it to be wound down without default. The Trustees will ensure that the CIO has the necessary
funds to meet such liabilities existing at the year end and liabilities occurring after the year end up to transfer.
The Trustees therefore do not consider the Charity to be a goincr concern.
Fixed 25sets
Fixed assets of the charity are depreciated at appr()priate rates ¢onsider¢d by th¢ trustees to write them down
over their estimated useful life to a fair residual value.
Depreciation on freehold propeity has been charged at O % as it represents the donation of land into the charity

settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide,
Provisions are measured at the best estiinate of the amounts required to settl¢ the obligation. Where the effect
of the time value of money is mat¢rial, the provision is based on the present value ofthose amounts. discounted
at the pre-tax discount rat¢ that Feflects the Tisks specific to the Itability, the unwinding of the discount is
recognised within interest payable and similar charges.
Financial Instruments

Judgements and key sourees of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the charitable company's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make
judgements, estimatss and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not Teadily
apparent from other sources, The estimates and associated assumptions are based on htstorical experience and
other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The esttmates
and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the
period of the revision and fvture periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. There ar¢
no significant estimates which are considered to materially impact on the financial stafrments.

17 Analysis of net debt
The chartty had no debt during the year.
18 2024 Reslatement
2024 figures have been restated for the removal of £75,725 in amortization applied against land und¢Y Lease.
The restat¢ment was done on the basis the original valuation was discounted at 120/0 over the estimated time
of the windfarni development which was situated on the land under lease. The unwinding of the discounts
applied would therefore mean land under lease within the balance sheet would increase in value as the
windfarm development progressed. Currently the developinent has not moved forward significantly and
therefoiE the increase in valu¢ cannot be quantified reasonably.
19 contlThge￿t liabilities
£982,000 was originally paid over to HMRC by th¢ administering Trust in regard to the transfer of land in
2023. A claim for repayment of th¢ VAT was made by the chartty and upon initial review by HMRC was
repaid to the charity in September 2023. There is still ongoing correspondence with HMRC in regards to the
VAT repayment and until such time as the matter is ¢losed the Trustees feel it prudent to disclose within the
financial statements as a possible contingent liability.
