HINDAWI FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the period 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Mission Statement
Translating into Arabic and publishing literary works (including scientific, learned, academic, other non-fiction and fictional works). Publishing or republishing literary works originally written in Arabic (including scientific, learned, academic, other non-fiction and fictional works). Making translated works and Arabic content freely digitally available.
The catalyst for the creation of the Hindawi Foundation was a UN Development Fund report, which stated: "For Arab societies, translation is a formidable challenge ... the number of books translated in the Arab world [per year] is one fifth of the number translated in Greece … a marked shortage of translations of basic books on philosophy, literature, sociology, and the natural sciences is quite evident.”[1]
The Hindawi Foundation was created to meet that need. Although some progress has been made in the development of the book industry and in translation into Arabic in recent years, availability remains scarce, translation lacking and of an often inconsistent standard, and access to works which present new ideas or challenge perspectives in the Arabic-speaking world is problematic or prohibited.
The Foundation aims to transform the literary landscape of the Arabic-speaking communities around the globe by providing a permanent, online library of thought-provoking, interesting, and valued fiction and non-fiction works, which is freely available to any Arabic speaker with access to the internet.
Activities
The Foundation seeks to achieve its objectives through two avenues: the translation of literary works from English and other languages into Arabic and the re-publication and publication of Arabic works which align with the Foundation's criteria. English (and other) language acquisitions take the form of both works in copyright, for which the Foundation negotiates translation rights contracts, and works which have entered the public domain. Works are published on the Foundation's website and apps. The Foundation also prints a select number of titles in trade paperback format, which are made available for sale through retailers and at book fairs across the Middle East and North Africa region.
Objectives
The Trustees' objectives for 2022 included:
-
Increasing foreign acquisitions
-
Expanding the output of Arabic language works
-
Taking steps to vary the Foundation’s income sources
The objective of increasing foreign acquisitions will make additional and more varied literary works available for publication, while expanding the output of Arabic language works aligns with the Charity’s aim of making freely available original Arabic literary works, but at a greater scale. Efforts to vary the Foundation’s income sources demonstrate the Trustees’ consideration that the long-term outlook for the Foundation is that its work will continue to be needed for decades to come and therefore diversification of income is a sensible risk mitigation.

HINDAWI FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Achievements and performance
In the 2022 calendar year, the Foundation made 54 translated books newly available and published 485 in the Arabic language. The Foundation's new publications in 2022 enabled beneficiaries to have free access to hundreds of previously unpublished or unavailable works in Arabic that provide stimulating content and encourage the enjoyment of literature. Foreign language acquisitions more than doubled in 2022, supplying in excess of 2.6 million words of copyrighted works for translation. Translated words totalled more than 3.5 million, with total (Arabic) digital works published exceeding 12 million. The Foundation’s user base also expanded significantly in 2022, with more users accessing more books and literature than ever before. Access to the Hindawi Foundation’s publications is of key benefit to Arabic speakers in volatile, insecure, or impoverished countries/regions where traditional routes of access to literature may well be impossible. The Foundation’s website and apps. enabled many Arabic speakers to access an online literature library of unique depth and breadth.
In 2022, the Foundation also launched an individual giving platform on its website to enable the charity to receive regular and one-off donations.
The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
FINANCIAL REVIEW & INVESTMENT POLICY
The Hindawi Foundation’s income for the year was £115,304 (2021: £7,665,085) Charitable expenditure totalled to £588,660 (2021: £445,895). Purchase of rights for new acquisitions accounted for 67.52% of copyrights expenditure, with renewals of existing contracts totalling 32.48%.
Running costs continue to be funded from the significant (unrestricted) gift received in 2021, which has subsequently been invested by Trustees. While the Charity will receive further funding over time and is actively diversifying funding sources, the Trustees’ assessment remains that the funding received should cover the running costs of the Foundation for a number of years.
The Trustees resolved that the overall objective of the Hindawi Foundation’s Investment Policy is to generate income to fund the Foundation’s running costs, while strategically drawing down on the principle for the expansion of the Foundation’s programmes to further the Charity’s Objectives. The Hindawi Foundation has a long-term outlook, defined as 50 years plus to achieve its objectives.
Both capital and income may be used at any time for the furtherance of the Hindawi Foundation’s aims and therefore the portfolio is to be managed on a total return basis. The Hindawi Foundation is permitted to make withdrawals from capital to supplement any income generated by the portfolio to meet the costs associated with running the Foundation and to finance specific projects, where necessary.[2] The Charity’s principal funding sources remain private donations.
The Charity’s invested funds are held in an actively managed, medium risk multi-asset discretionary portfolio. The Trustees are not presently requiring investments to adhere to any specific social, environmental or ethical considerations.
At present, the Charity’s policy is to maintain a minimum reserve for the continued maintenance of the Foundation’s online publishing platforms, including funds to contribute to annual electronic book fees. Current reserves total £6,034,784. There are currently no restricted funds.

HINDAWI FOUNDATION
TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
RISK MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
While the Hindawi Foundation operates within the recognised publishing sphere, the Trustees have identified a number of specific and ongoing risks:
1. Restriction of publishing platforms
The most immediately severe risk to the Charity’s ability to fulfil its stated Objectives is the external risk of a restriction of our publishing platforms, which would prevent beneficiaries from accessing our content. This is a Major risk and one which the Foundation has already had to navigate. The primary mitigation is to make every effort to ensure our content is a) visibly legal and b) politically and religiously neutral – within the bounds of the Charity’s objectives of enabling access to knowledge. The Foundation also release all non-licenced works under a Creative Commons licence to enable wider access and use. The Charity is also, where possible, looking to establish relationships with government censorship bodies. While these efforts appear to have had a positive impact, restriction of our publishing platforms remains a Major risk.[3]
2. Adverse government policy
Adverse government policy in relation to the operation of foreign charities within the territory where the Charity’s subsidiary is located presents a Moderate potential risk. Ensuring Trustees and senior management are aware of political developments within countries in which the Charity operates and ongoing monitoring of proposed legal and regulatory changes have been identified as the main mitigations. Continued strengthening of the Hindawi Foundation’s brand – alongside openly publishing the Charity’s aims and objectives, motivations, funding sources and Trustee and Staff details – may also reduce the likelihood of adverse government policy affecting the Foundation’s work.
3. Dependency on income sources
The Charity is presently in a strong funding position in the medium term and is actively diversifying its income sources. However, as Trustees have identified the long-term outlook of the Foundation as “50 years plus to achieve its objectives”, dependency on income sources presents a Moderate future risk to the Charity’s activities, if current project expenditure remains unchanged without an increase in income.[4 ]

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, the Articles of Association adopted on 12 December 2018, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006
Management and Organisational Structure
The Trustees guide the overall direction of the charity to ensure that activities align with the Foundation's aims and objectives. Unless decisions are deemed to relate to long-term financial management, or relate to the Charity’s objectives, or staff have specifically requested Trustee input, then they are delegated to staff. Production and printing of titles is undertaken by the Hindawi for Print and Distribution (Cairo-registered company) which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hindawi Foundation.
The Trustee body seeks to utilise the Board’s varied expertise and skills as part of internal improvement and training. Informal meetings to share expertise and are encouraged, while Charity staff assist with Trustee induction. The Charity’s Chair of Trustees, in discussion with Charity staff, regularly assesses the capabilities of the Trustee body and recommends any training thought to be of value.
The Foundation does not have any formal benchmarking process for setting pay and remuneration. However, staff salary offers are broadly comparable to similar industry roles. At present, no employees have total benefits over £60k.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The existing Trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new Trustees. Selection of new Trustees is a collaborative process with particular emphasis placed on individuals who will bring a different perspective, as well as relevant skills and experience to the board. Potential Trustees can be suggested by any existing Trustee and are then discussed internally, before a formal invitation is extended. Potential Trustees are given details of the Foundation's charitable aims and activities. If they agree, they are then proposed at the subsequent Trustees' meeting.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT
As the charity’s trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

-
(2) the accounts do not accord with those accounting records; or
-
(3) the accounts 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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1. ACOUNTING POLICIES
General information
Hindawi Foundation is a private charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Two of the trustees are liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
The registered company number is 10585970 and the registered charity number is 1181788.
The registered office is York House, 41 Sheet Street, Windsor, Berkshire, SL4 1DD
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006.
The charity meets the definition of public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
Functional and presentation currency
The Charity's functional and presentation currency is GBP.
Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Exemption from preparing group accounts
The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements on the grounds that it is a small sized group.
Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

HINDAWI FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
It is the opinion of the trustees that due to the nature of the entity there are no assumptions or judgements that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donation income is recognised when received.
Gift Aid receivable is recognised in income when there is a valid Gift Aid declaration and the donation has been received.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable.
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Expenditure on charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs
Support costs incurred are apportioned across the charitable activities based on use of resource.
Governance costs
Governance costs include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and have been included as support costs.

HINDAWI FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Fixed asset investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the statement of financial position date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Investments in Subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are included at cost less impairment value at the balance sheet date.
Debtors
Debtors are amounts owed to the charity. They are measured on the basis of their recoverable amount.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash at bank and in hand is held to meet the day to day running costs of the charity as they fall due.
Creditors
Creditors are amounts owed by the charity. They are measured at the amount that the charity expects to have to pay to settle the debt.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. They are allocated to activities based on staff time.

HINDAWI FOUNDATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
Foreign Currencies
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation are included in the SOFA for the period.
Financial Instruments
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Impairment of financial assets: Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
