Foreword by the Interim Chair OF the Board OF Trustees l am delighted to share this annual report, which is the very first reportof the organisation under a new name: Unlimit Health. This report providesan opportunity to reflect on pastachievements, as well as to outlinethe new 5trategyfor 2023 to 2028. It conclude5 our previou5 five-year strategy and set5 the scene for our ambitlous plans for the next five-year strategy. which was published togetherwith the launch of the new brand in February2023. I would liketothank Lord Sandy Trees, whocompleted histerm a5Chair in mid-2022, and Peter Dranfield who Stepped down as a trustee earlierthis year. They have both been instrumental in establishing SCI Foundation, now Unlimit Health, as a charity. I'm delighted to welcome ourthree newtrustees- Kathryn Ager, Arielle Dolegui and Max Seunik, plustwo new advisor5, Abena Afari and Carolynne Wheeler,who have already contributed to the new strategy for Unlimit Health Unlimit Health was born as the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative, established in 2002 bv ProfessorAlan Fenwick and his co-director Prof joanne Webster at Imperial College London. At thattime, its purpose wa5to deliver a proof-of-concept for nationally-driven programmesfor the control of schist050miasis in sub-saharan Africa. Our new name and strategy are driven bythe need to focus on elimination of schistosomiasis and related parasitic diseases, in line with the WHO Roadmap. Overthe nextfive years,whilewe will continueto 5UPPOrtthe delivery and monitoringof national treatment programmes, there will be an important shift to elevatethiswith newareas of work. These include developing a comprehensive set of targeted interventions to reach elimination of parasltic disease; a focus on technical support for multisectoral action; and increasing emphas15 on health systems strengthening and cor)tributing to health equity. I hopeyouwill enjoy readingthis report and continue to 5UPPOrtourjourney towards healthy lives, free from limiting disease.

Publlc Benefit Statoment The Trustees confirm thatthey have had regard tothe Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and the ways in which Unlimit Health delivers public benefit are explained in reporting on the Charity'sAchievements, Performance and Future Plans. Grant Making Policy Unlimit Health partners primarily with Ministries of Health to 5UPPOrt the delivery of public health intervention5 in sub-saharan Africa. Unlirnit Health works with its partners to develop programmes and determine thefinancial supportrequired. Annual contracts document the programmes and financial sUPPOrtto be provided. Thefinancial support is referred to a5 partner awards or payments in the annual reporL Achievements, Performance and Future Plans Goal 1: Those affected by parasltlc worm infections receive treatment and care. ObjKtives: Policy relevant evidence is generated and used to inform and develop elimination strategies for preventable infectious diseases. Evidence on best practice for country-led programme delivery is generated. Thesustained impact of public health programmes on parasiticworm infectionsand child health is effectively demonstrated. Thedeliveryof programmes by national authorities is supported effectively. Programme delivery is optimised through implementation and ref inement of available evidence-based tools and processes. Key Achievements: Supportedthe Ministryof Health in 12 countriesto deliverover 63 milliontreatmentsfor SCH and 5TH, provisionally reported to date. out of a targeted 64 million budgeted at the outset of financial year 202212023. Duetothe removal of many public health restriction5 imposed by countriesto mitigate thetransmission of SARS-CoV-2.the requirementfor a risk mitigation and action plan in advance of mass drug administration (MDA) was withdrawn and MDA proceeded in line with individual government guidance relating to COVID-19. Of the twelve supported countries: Despite significant global shipping delays affecting the delivery of donated drugs to many countries, the impact of late arrival was sufficiently mitigated in several countries to en5urethattreatment delivery could proceed a5 soon as PZQ arrived, usually bytakinga phased approach to MDA a5 in Cote d'lvoire, Malawi and Madagascar. Thiswas necessitated as existingPZQ stock5 in country had expiry dates precedingthe date of arrival of the next delivery and therefore had to be delivered beforeexpiry was reached. Burundi postponed their MDA and conducted Unlimit Health annual report and financial statement5 | 9
an exceptional campaign in March 2023,out with their usual schedule where it is routinely incorporated into Motherand Child Health Week5 in December. Liberia's MDA was interrupted dueto a Severe Adverse Event (SAE) resulting in the death of a child in Nimba Countyduringthetreatment campaign. Afull investigation was conducted bythe MOH in conjunction withthe local WHO office as is required in the event of an SAEto determineanyfuture considerations for implementation. Sudan's MDA continuedto be disrupted dueto ongoing political tensions in the country. Athree-phase national MDA campaign had completed Phase 1 in 2021, with Phase 2 completedduring2022 afteran initial suspension due tothe military coup in late 2021, which has been partially reported to date. Phase3 was Intended to start in early 2023 but remains inthe planningstage duetothe renewed armed conflict. Generated data on quality and performanceof prograrnme5: Unlimit Health supported five country partnersto conduct coverage evaluations surveys in Cote d'lvoire. Ethiopia, Madagascar, Malawi, and Zanzibar.Analysisforthese surveys is ongoingfor Cote d'lvoire, Ethiopia, Madagascar. and Malawi., however,completed analysis forZan2ibar has demonstrated thatthe March 2022 treatment campaign achieved the WHO recommended 75% treatment coverage threshold across both islands of Pemba and Unguja for both SAC and adult populations. Conductedtwo epidemiological surveys with MOH partners in Ethiopia (Part 2- reassessment)and Madagascar(Part1- reasses5ment),with planning underway forthree epidemiological surveys in Ethiopia (Part 3- reassessment), Madagascar (Part 2- reassessment), Cote d'lvoire(reassessment), and Democratic Republic of Congo (Part1- rea5sessment).Analysi5 of the Madagascar(Part1) survey is currently ongoing, with expected dissemination in the coming months. Data generated by these surveyswill continue to support MOH decision-making on optimisingthe delivery of treatmentsand other interventions and will be used to demonstrate impact goals aligned tothe newWHO NTD Roadmap for2030 andthe new WHO Guidelinefor Schistosomiasis. Additionally, in this period. resultswere disseminatedto MOH and partners for Ethiopia Part1 and Part2. Asthese data can be provided at the sub-lu administrative level in Ethiopia, called'kebele,, they will be utilised in the planningforthe 2024SCH treatment campaign, alongside WHO/ESPEN. Advised on the innovative design and implementation of surveys in several countries a5 part of collaboration projects: The Schistosomiasis Oversamplingstudy, acollaboration betweenfourministriesof Health. Unlimit Health,the NTD Support Centre,London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), Swiss Tropical Public Health Institute and the Kenya Medical Research Institute. This multi-country SOS project supported survey5conducted in Cote d'lvoire, Mali, and Togo in 2022123. The outcomes will be used within a geostatistical model to determinethe optimal sampling strategiesfor SCH impact assessments to enable sub- implementation unit decision making. Unlirnit Health continuestoworkwiththe END Fund's Deworming Innovation Fund (in partnershlp with LSHTM)to supportongoing reassessment activities in Ethiopia using Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements | 10

Additionally, within this period, Unlirnit Health performed an efficiency analysis to assess gains made when using novel re355essment data to implementtreatmentat a sub-lu level in terrns of overall cost and target treatment figure5. Thi5 analysis showed that across Zimbabwe and Ethiopia a geostatistical approach achieved an average 91% savings over traditional approaches with comparable accuracy when measuring national level prevalence, a5thisapproach required 92% fewer participantsto be sampled overall. The Dominican Republic governmentand the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) have been workingwith Unlimit Health, Tropical Data andthe United States'centerfor Disease Control to design and conduct (November 2021) a surveyto verifytheelimination of human schistosomiasis in three historic endemic areas. Analy51S is ongoing and when ready results will indicate whether there is active transmission or whether the country can begin the WHO verlfication process for elimination. Supported MOH to share their historical and current epidemiological data in theWHOformat for reporting and openaccessthrough WHO portals (WHO Global Observatory andthe ESPEN (Expanded Special Projectfor Elimination of NTDS) Portal).

Develop the Operational Plan with accompanying KPIS in support of 2023-2028 Strateg1¢ Plan. Development of 2023-2028 Strategy and Rebrand Development of the 2023- 2028 Strategy The Leadership Team invested significanttime in the development of the 2023- 2028 strategy during the reporting period. This involved a number of dedicated retreats with external facilitation and internal and external discussion5. The strategy airns to respond to the changing environmentwithin the NTDS and also shifts in International Development. The strategy goalsare aligned to theWHO Road Map for NTD 2021-2030which articulatesthe contributionsthat the control and elimination of NTD5can maketothe Sustainable Development Goals. In addition,the objectives undereach goal of thestrategy relatetotheWHO health system strengthening building blocks to ensure that our work contributes directly to supporting resilient health systems. The Strategy and new brand were launched atan event in March 2023 ascan be accessed here. Rebranding Alongsidethe developmentof our newstrategy,we also embarked ona rebranding exercise. The name SCI Foundation had always been considered as an interim name, aswetransltioned outof Imperial College London. Forlegal reasons we were not ableto Use the name Schistosomiasis Control Initiative, but itwas considered irnportantto signal continuityaswe became an Unlimit Health annual report and financial st3tements121
independent entity and therefore SCI Foundationwas used. However, it has been clearthat continuingto use a namethat no longer represented the breadth of thework thatwe undertook, orthe overall purpose of ourwork. would be detrimental toour abilityto resource and deliveron the new strategy. A participatory approach wastaken involving inputfrom team mernber5, Board members and partners including our Ministry of Health Colleagues.Although challenging, the process was valuable in arriving at an excellent new brand that strengthens our ability to deliver. The lessons learned have been documented and published through ChariL¥ Com(u. Financial review We have reali5ed an operational surplus£1.62m (2022, E4.53m deficit), which was in linewith our Operational Plan.This meansthat Unlimit Health held total funds of £17.26m (2022, £16.18m) at year-end. These fundsare made up of restricted funds of £0.11m (2022, £0.14m), unrestricted general fund5 of £9.33m (2022, £8.08m), and designated funds of £7.82m (2022, E7.97m), and which thetrustees have earmarked, and we will draw downoverthe next twoyearstofund specific programme charitable activitie5. Unlimit Health receivedtotal income of £10.25m (2022. £7.32m) due to receiving more grants and a large increase in investment income. There was also an increase in general donations. Unlimit Health spent £8.63m overtheyear (2022, 11.85m). The decrease in expenditure was planned in line with the structured drawdown of the designatedfund5. UH has supported the delivery of 41 million treatments reported to date (2022, there were41mtreatments). Asdetailed above (Goal l KeyAchievements) several treatment campaigns are still ongoingordelayed and thereforetreatment numbersare yetto befinalised. In addition, some of our partner5 experienced delays in receiving drugs donated by other international funders, and that rneant that some partners could not carry out all the Ma55 DrugAdministrationsthat had been planned. We would have reported higherexpenditures by partners if all the partner5 had received the allocated drugs as they had requested. Thefinancial year has ended with a strong balance sheet. Atthe year end,Ca5h and cash equivalents were £17.56m (2022, 28.45m). Long term equity investments were £10.70m (2022, 3.23m). Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements | 22
Fundraising Overall donations income has grown by 7% thi5 year compared to the previous financial period, with increases both in term5 of direct income from individual donation5 and in income from Effective Altruism organizations. Trusts, foundations and other institutions contribute a smaller proportion of ourdonation income, butthis income stream hasalso grown. Individual givinz Overall income from individuals, including those giving one-off donations over £5,000, has improved significantly compared to the previous year. The excellent result was due in part to two major public fundraising campaign5. In September, the award-winning broadcaster Claudia Hammond presented our BBC Radi04Appeal. The BBC Radi04 appeal was particularly significant because it enabled us to reach directly a large audience who may not have been previously aware of ourwork.The results exceeded ourexpectations, and we raised over£29,000. In November, we participated for the second year running in the Big Give Christmas Challenge. This was our third matched fundingappeal andtheappeal soughttoraisefundsforthe next phaseofthecommunitv- led action againstdisease project in Uganda. The appeal raised over£100,000 and has enabled the next phase of the programme to go ahead. In addition to these two campaigns, regular donations from individuals increased by10% overall and donation5 from individuals inthe US Saw a steep rise. Givewell and the Effective Altruism Movement Our relationship with the Effective Altruism movement, in all its varied manifestations, remains very healthy as we continue to be 23ecognized as providing some of the most cost-effective opportunitiesforimpactonglobal health.Weareenormously gratefulto have received substantial support from a wide range of organizations including The Life You Can Save, Effective Altruism Australia, Givewell Clear Fund, Effective Altruism New Zealand/Aotearoa, Ayuda Efectiva. Giving What We Can, Efektiv Spenden, and RC Forward (Canada). Although our income from Givewell Clear Fund has fallen this year, this reduction has been entirely compensated for by a significant increase in income from the rest of the EA movement, such that overall income from Givewell Clear Fund and the rest of the Effective Altruism movement has remained constantcomparedtothe previousyear.

Trusts and Foundations Thi5 year ha5 Seen another increase in incomefrom Trusts and Foundations. A further substantial increase in incorne from these sources is anticipated forthe coming year and muchwork has been done this year to identify new prospective funders and to develop relationships with a broader range of funding institutions. Fundraising plans Our fundraising goals over the coming year are to significantly expand our income from trusts, foundations and other institutional sources to 5UPPOrt the NTD programmes of our partner ministries of health. These sources will bring in the bulk of our planned £1.2 million from new sources of income. We will also seek to further engage our growing pool of individual supporter5 and to maintain and deepen our relationshipswiththe effective altruism movementwho continue to be a significantsource of sUPPOrtfor our partner5, NTD programmes.

Reserves Policy Unlimit Health's mission is to supportthe development of effective and sustainable systems that will eliminate parasitic worm infections. The public health interventions required to reach elimination, including treatment of at-ri5k populations. require 5UStained implementation over multiple years. The current World Health Organisation guidance recommend5 an initial 5-6 years of annual treatment before reassessment. Unlimit Health maintains reserves to allow the Charity to continue to fulfil its objertive5 and withstand any perlod of financial uncertainty. Unlimit Health norrnally has two type5 of reserves: Restrlcted funds -The5e arise where funds have been given to Unlimit Health to fulfil particular objectives. These reserves can only be used for those particular objectives they were given for and cannot be used for the general running c05t of the Charity. Unlimit Health had Restricted Fund5 of £0.11m as at31 March 2023 (2022, £0.14m). Unrestricted funds - As at 31 March 2023, the Charity had £17.15m (2022, £16.04m) of unrestricted funds. £7.82m (2022, £7.97m of these are deslgnated and will be spent over the next two years. The balance of General Funds is £9.33m (2022, £8.08m) which are available to enable the Charity to address and financially manage the consequences of anv unforeseen events orto take advantage of fresh opportunities which further the Charity's aim5 and objectives. TheTrustees set a target level for unrestricted General Funds which the Charity aims to hold over the mediumtermfortheabove purpose5. Suchfunds henceprovide a measureof financial stability tothecharityandthereby reinforcethe reputationand abilityof thecharitytodeliveron promises. Each year the minimum level of unrestricted General Funds is reviewed by the Trustees and consideration is given to the following when deciding the level of funds required: The level required to ensure the charity can continue to meet its current and future commitments in the face of financial uncertainties, with a focus on incorne generation and the potential for unforeseen expenses. The level required to ensure the Charity ha5 the flexibility to pursue new opportunities to further the charitable aim5 of the organisation as and when they arise. The level that could be needed should any of the major risks identified by the risk framework materialise. To meetthe workingcapital requirements. The level required for an orderly transfer or cessation of activities, in the extreme and unlikely situation, that a catastrophic event occurs which might otherwise have impacted the Charities short term ability to meet its obligations to its beneficiaries, employees and creditors. Aftercareful assessment of the above, and in line with good governance practice, theTrustees have reviewed all identif led risks and have concluded that the minimum level of Free Reserves (General Funds le55 Tangible Fixed Asset5) should be maintained at a level that is higher than the costof an orderly closure of the charityandfalls between three- and four-months, worth of unrestricted expenditure budget for the following financial year. The free reserve level for 2023124 should therefore fall between £2.58m and £3.43m. The Free Reserves as of 31 March 2023 was £9J3m which is £5.90m above the higher Reserve Policy level. There is a clear plan in place and the Trustees expect that there will be a structured Unlimit Health annual report 2nd financial statements | 25
draw down of the reservesto invest in programme5, programme developmentand ourfunding model as outlined in the 2023-28Strategic Plan.The reserve level will continueto decrease inthe coming years and will be in line our Reserve Policy. Investment Policy The Unlimit Health of Trustees has delegated investment decisionsto the Finance, Risk andAudit committee.we have recruited Churches, Charities and Local AuthoritieslCCLA) Fund Managers, who are regulated by the FSA,to manageour long-term investments. Theobjectivesand policies of Unlimit Health investments are: To seek to produce the best financial return within an acceptable level of risk. The investment objective for the long-term reserves is to generate a return in excess of inflation over the longterm whilst generating an income to supplement the ongoing activitie5 of the organisation. The investrnent objective for the short-term reserves is to preserve the capital value with minimum level of risk. Assets should be readily available to meet unanticipated cash f low requirements. Unlimit Health has adopted an ethical investment policy to ensure that its investments do not conflict with its aims. Excluded are activities that have a direct impact on health e.g., tobacco and Icohol. Activities that have a direct impact on the environment e.g., illegal logging, and activities that undermine human rights e.%., sexual misconduct. CCLA Fund Managers managetwo Charities Official Investment Funds, (COIF) Charity Funds, portfolios for Unlimit Health: The Ethical Investment5 and Fixed Interest. Over the year, Ethical Fund5 did not perform very well and lost 2% of its value (2022, growth of £252,378), although this performance compares to a loss of 3% registered bythe Fund Comparator.The Fixed Interest portfolio was establlshed at the beginning of the financial year and performed worse by realising a loss of 3.97% andthis performancewas belowthe performanceof the Fund Benchmark of 2.86%1055. Fund performance isshown afterthe deduction of all fees and expenses with Income reinvested. Comparator returns are based on market indices which are notadjustedfor managementfees or expenses. The Ethical Investmentfundstotal return performance over 12 monthsto 31 March 2023 was- 2% against-3.97% for the Fund Comparator. The fund therefore outperformed thefund comparator in both Capital and income values. The Fixed Interestfundstotal return performance over12 monthsto 31 March 2023 was- 3.48% against-2.86%forthe Fund Benchmark.The Fixed Interestfundsdid not perform betterthan the Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements | 26

Princlpal Risks and Uncertalntles Risk management is central to the ability of Unlimit Health to deliver its objective5. We use multipleways of managing risksthrough the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), ProgrammesTeam, the Finance Risk &AuditCommittee (FRAC), and the Board. Central to this is rigorous budget controlthough which onlysecured funds are spent, and programmesare plannedtooptimisecash flow and control. Key funding and expenditure ratios are reviewed periodically. The SLT meets very regularly and monitors and review5 key risks. The Programmes Team reviews programme risks weekly on a country-by-country basisas part of its routine programme rnonitoring activities. Discussions are held on monthly management accounts, quarterly re- forecasts. and formal reviews.that are then presented to the Board. These regularreviews ensure that ongoing expenditures align with Unlimit Health's f inancial performance targets. The FRAC reviews risk5, challenges and keyfinancial management policies and assumptions. It ensures thatthe annual budget is adequatelyfunded and makes recommendationstothe Board for adoption. The SLT interactswith the FRAC and implementsthe scheme of delegation on i55uesthat need reportingto the FRAC. The Board leads on the reviewand approval of the Risk Regi5ter.This helps Unlimit Health to identify and assess Potential risks, and to develop effective mitigation strategies to ensure the needs of beneficiarie5 continue to be met. Unlimit Health has identified the following key risks during the reporting period in the table below. Major Risk Identif Mitigatlon Funding the new strategy For the last12 years a significant proportion of funding has been driven by a recommendation from the charity evaluator Givewell and the Effective Altruisrn movemenL Givewell has continuedto support Unlimit Health in this reporting period but has made it clear that the coming period will be the last funding cycle it will support Unlimit Health. The DevelopmentTeam and the CEO has continued to invest a significant amount of time in engaging with non-GiveWell effectivealtruism fundersto give more contextto Givewell's decision to move awayfrom fundingunlimit Healthand to dvantages we see intheapproachtaken in the new Strategy. The Development Team has developed an income generation strategy looking to maximise the opportunitie5 to access an expanded funder pool thatthe newstrategy and brand has allowed us to access. Unlimit Health has allowed an adequate level of operating reserve5to be drawn down while the newfunding strategy 15 operationalised. Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements | 28
Resourcing the new strategy and retention and management of staff Unlimit Health has set out a bold new strategy that it believes will deliver significant impact. However, a new strategy and brand doescreate a certain level of uncertaintyforthe team. Unlimit Health is reliant on it5 talented staff for its succes5 and loss of key personnel is a key risk. As a smaller organisation there 15 also more limited opportunities for career progression. Managementof Human Resources issuestaking senior5taff awayfrom delivering their core mission can also risk achieving the organisations objectives. Unlimit Health continues to create a healthy and happy workingenvironment and one wherethere is a high level of transparency. Accreditation by Investors in People and implementation of their recommendations where feasible, ensures that Unlimit Health is aligning with best practice. Unlimit Health are able to offer agile working conditions including remote workingwhich are attractive to staff. Use of external HR advisors have been used tosupport with staff issues and to assist with recruitment and focus on increasing networks to identlfy suitable candidates. However, Unlimit Health has committed to investing in an internal HR roleto optirn15ethe HR support providedtothe organisation. Delay In suppty chaln for Prazlquantel and Albendazole Global crises and the long-ter impacts of the COVID pandemic has created issues with the manufacture anddistribution of Praziquantel and Albendazole. These delays can create disruption to mass Drug Administration programmes in endemiccountries and very signif icant variances in annual expenditurewhich creates accounting challenges.

If, based ontheworkwe have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to reportthatfact. We have nothingto report in this regard. Opinions on other matters prescrlbed by the Companles Art 2006 In our opinion, based on thework undertaken in thecourse of the audit: the information given inthe Reportof theTrustees(which includesthe strategicreportand the directors, report prepared for the purposes of company law) for the financial year for which thefinancial statements are prepared is consistentwith the financial statements; and the strategic report and the directors, report included within the Report of the Trustees have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on whlch we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and it5 environment obtained inthecourseof theaudit, we have not identified material misstatements inthe Reportof the Trustees (which incorporatesthe strategic report and the directors, report). We have nothingto report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to reporttoyou if, in our opinion: adequate accounting records have not been kept bythe charitable company; or the charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or certain disclosures of trustees, remuneration Specified by law are not made; or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or the trustee5 were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companie5, regime and take advantage of the small companies, exemptions in preparingthe trustees, report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report. Responsibilltles of trustees forthe financlal statements A5 explained more fully in the trustees, responsibilities statement 32, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsiblefor the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, Unlimit Health 4nnual report and financial statements | 36
and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disc105ing, as applicable, matter5 related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditorfs responslbllities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as wholearefreefrom material misstatement,whetherduetofraud or error,and tO155uean 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 misstatement when it exi5t5. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken onthe basi5 of these financial statement5. 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 irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the environment in which it operates, we identified thatthe principal risks of non-compliance with lawsand regulations relatedto charity and company law applicable in England and Wales, and we considered the extent to which non- compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. WÈ also considered those law5 and regulationsthat have a direct impact on the preparation of thefinancial statements such as Companies Act2006.fundraising regulations andthe CharitiesAct2011. We evaluated management'5 incentive5 and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to income and grant recognition. Audit procedures performed by the engagementteam included: Discussions with management Includingconsideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliancewith laws and regulation and fraud; Evaluating management's controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities: Identifying and testing journals, in particular journal entries posted with unusual account combinations, postings by unusual users or with unusual descriptions; and Challengingassumptions and judgements made by managementintheir critical accounting estimates, in particular donation recognition, recognition of grant income and the recognition of partner payments/awards and provisions for bad andlordoubtful debts Because of the Inhent Ilmltatlons of an audit. there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularitles, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regvlation is removed from the events Unlimit Health annual report and financial statement5 | 37
and transattions reflected in the financlal statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk Is also 8reater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraLEd involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion. omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the f inancial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.or .ukJauditorsres onsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state tothe charitable company's mernbers those matters we are required to state tothem in an Auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial statements 1. Accounting policies: The principal accounting policies adopted,judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: Baslsof preparation: The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accountingand Reporting by Charities: Statementof Recommended Practice applicableto charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Second Edition, effertive1 january 2019)- (Charitie5 SORP (FRS102),the Financial Reportingstandard appllcable in the UK and Republicof Ireland (FRS102) andthecompanies Art2006. The subsidiary was dormant in this financial year, and so current year figures are for the charity alone. The Charity meets the def inition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost ortransaction value unless Otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. Preparation of theaccounts asaiolngconcern: Having reviewed thefundingfacilities available tothecharitytogetherwiththe expectedfuture cashflows.thetrusteeshavea reasonable expectation that charity has adequate resources to continue it5 activities for the foreseeable future and consider that there were no material uncertaintie5 over the charitvs financial viability. Accordingly, they also continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. b. Income: All income is Included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity is legally entitledtothe income after any performanceconditions have been met, the amountcan be measured reliably, and it is probable that the incomewill be received. The SORP requirements are followed in relation to positions where there 15 a time restrirtion. Fordonation5 to be recognised the charitywill have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained,then income is deferred until those conditions are f ully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity, and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. No amount 15 included in the financial statementsforgeneral volunteertirne in linewith the SORP (FRS 102). Investment income is earnedthrough holdingassetsfor investment purpose5. It includes dividends and interest. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method and dividend income is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is established. Donated servlces and facilities: Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income attheirfair value when their economic benef it is probable, it can be Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements142
measured reliably, and the charity hascontrol overthe item. Fair value is determined based on thevalue of the gifttothe charity. For example,the amountthe charitywould bewillingto pay in the open market for such facilities and seniices. A corresponding amount is recogni5ed in expenditure. Gifts in kind donated for resale are included at fair value, being the expected proceeds from sale less the experted costs of sale. Where estimating the fair value is practicable upon receipt it is recognised in stock and'lncome from other trading activitie5'. Upon sale, the value of the stock is charged against'lncomefrom other trading activities. andthe proceeds are rÈcognised as'lncome from other trading activities,. Where it is impracticable to fair value the items due to the volume of lowvalue itemsthey are not recognised inthefinancial statements until they are sold. This income is recognised within 'lncome from other trading activities,. d. Funda¢countinr. Unrestricted funds areavailablefor use atthe discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectivesof thecharityandwhich have not been designated for other purposes. Designated funds comprise unrestricted fundsthat have been set aside by thetrusteesfor particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is setout in the notestothe financial statement5. Restricted funds are funds which areto be used in accordancewith specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specif ic fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is Set out in the note5 to the financial statements. e. Expenditure and Irrecoverable VAT: All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and ha5 been classified under headlngs that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligatlon to make payments tothlrd parties. it is probablethatthe settlementwill be required, and the amountof the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings: Costs of raising funds include5 direct staff costs, external costs such as advertising and marketing and other costs associated with attracting voluntary income. Cost of raising funds also includes investment managerfee5 and costs associated with attractingtrading income. Charitable activities are for improving the health of the poorest and most rnarginalised societies in the world through the elimination of parasitic worm infections. We do this by 5UPPOrting governments in sub-saharan African countrie5 to develop effective and sustainable programmes against these diseases. Costs of charitable activitie5 include costs directly associated with delivering public health interventions such as ma55 drug administration that support the control and elimination of parasitic worm infections and an apportionmentof overhead, support, and governance costs. Irrecoverable VAT Is charged asan expenseagainstthe activityfor which expenditure arose. f. Allocatlon of support costs: Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support cost5 include finance, H.R., Unlimit Health annual report and financial statements | 43
l.T., general office and premises,and governancecosts which supportthe charitable activitie5 of the charity. These costs have been allocated between costof raisingfunds and expenditure on charitable activities.The bases on which support costs have been allocated are setout in note 6. g. Critical accounting judgement and key sources of estimatlon uncertainty. In the application of the accounting policies, Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and a55umptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and otherfactorsthat are considered to be relevanL Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlyingassumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisionsto accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affected current andfuture periods. There are no estimates orjudgementswhich theTrustees consider are subject to signif icant uncertainty. h. Operatingleases: Operating lease rentals arechargedtothestatementof Flnancial Activitie5 over the period of the lease. Tangible fixed assets: Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation le55 accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to makingthe asset capable of operating as intended. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost. less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected usef ul life as follows: Office furniture,fittings and equipment, computerequipment. Fixed asset investment&. Investments are reco8ni5ed initially at fair value which is normally the transartion price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently. they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in 'net gains l (losses) on investments, in the SOFA If the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment, Investments in subsidiaries are measured atcost less impairment k.

to a third party andthe amount dueto settle the obligation can be measured orestimated reliably. Creditor5 and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount. ForelgnCurrency.Thefunctional and presentation currency is pound55terling. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are normally translated into Sterling using the opening exchange rateforthe month of thetransaction; however,the rate on theday of the transaction will be used if it is significantly different.
