THE BRITISH SPORTING ART TRUST REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. 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 2019).

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The object of the Charity is the advancement of the public education in the fine arts particularly through the formation and display of British sporting art; mounting loan exhibitions; sponsoring and publishing research on the subject of sporting art; encouraging and supporting young artists and students in the study of sporting art.

Significant activities

As a result of the Covid Pandemic and the lockdowns the activities of the Trust were severely curtailed in the year to March 2021. As a result there have been no functions, no Paul Mellon Lecture nor an Annual General Meeting. No visits were able to be organised and the research facilities were hardly available to be offered to students and other interested parties. In addition, no arts prizes were able to be awarded and only limited access to the Museum was able to be given during the year. In March 2021 the first of online lectures was given by Dr Hannah Clark – “The Thoroughly Modern Meltonian “ and several more have been given since then .These lectures are open to all including non-members.

The vision shaping the Trust's activities remains the promotion and fostering of knowledge and the appreciation of sporting art through public exhibition of significant works, publication of research in the form of essays and support for young artists and art history students. In furtherance of these aims the Trust`s premises at Palace House, Newmarket continues to display sporting art throughout the ages with many significant loans whenever possible

Public benefit

The Trust's activities are reviewed each year to ensure they continue to reflect and further its aims and objectives. In planning activities, the Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. Primarily the public benefits arise from the preservation and conservation of this important genre of British art. Additionally, admission to the Trust's galleries and research facilities in our Library of some 3,500 volumes and extensive archive material is available to all members of the public and research facilities are offered free to students.

Members of the public were able to view our exhibitions and use the Library when the facilities were able to be open.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

The Trustees continue to pursue the Trust`s objectives for sporting art by promoting public display, research, the publication of essays, continuing to encourage young artists and arranging visits to important collections. The use of the Trust's library is also actively encouraged, particularly for educational purposes.

The Trusts premises at Palace House has a world-class display in the Fred Packard Museum and Galleries of Sporting Art showing sporting Art throughout the ages with loans from many galleries together with a significant number the Trusts own pictures and objet d`art.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Treasurer's report

The Trust recorded an overall surplus of some £54,400 before net gains on investments of £94,800. The surplus includes gifts of prints £34,260, a legacy of £15,000, a donation of £5,000 for the purchase of a Peter Biegel painting and an appeal to Life members which raised some £6,700. The unrealised profit on investments reflects the significant downturn in the financial markets in March 2020 which recovered during the financial year. Excluding one off items of income and expenditure, gifts and restricted donations, the Trust made an overall loss of some £6,000 in the year.

Investment policy, objectives and performance

The Trustees have absolute discretion to invest in any shares, stocks, funds, securities, land, building, chattels or any other investment. The Trustees have engaged Rathbones Investment Management Limited as investment managers and their policy is to generate a balance between income and capital growth. The fund has a medium risk profile with some 9% invested in fixed interest securities, 27% in UK equities and 47% in overseas equities and the balance is held in cash and alternatives. The portfolio is held for the longer term and has an estimated yield of 1.9%. During the year the fund recovered the unrealised losses from the pandemic downturn in March 2020 and made an overall net gain of some £95,000 compared with a net loss in the previous year of £5,000.

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the Trust to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the Trust, at a level which equates to approximately twelve months unrestricted expenditure. At 31st March 2021 free reserves were £181,892. This figure includes the Michael Kidson legacy and an anonymous donation both within the investment portfolio and £8,333 for future Curatorship costs. Excluding these amounts the net free reserves were £63,897

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The Trust is constituted by Trust Deed dated 1[st] April 2019 and is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation number 1182442.

Patron

The Chairman and Trustees were sad to have to accept the resignation of Sir Samuel Whitbread KCVO as the Trust`s Patron due to his ill health at the end of the year. Sir Sam has been a constant and very generous friend to the Trust over many years since his becoming Patron in 2008, and we wish him and Lady Anne all the very best for the future.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The management of the Trust is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust Deed. The charity trustees of the CIO were all appointed to serve until 31[st] March 2022.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH SPORTING ART TRUST

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The British Sporting Art Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021 on pages ten to twenty-four, which comprise the statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the Financial Statements including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the Financial Statements, we have concluded that The trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that individually or collectively cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, including the trustees report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Page 6

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH SPORTING ART TRUST

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to material misstatement in the Financial Statements themselves if, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

In light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustee’s report.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception – refer to Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 as follows:

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees Responsibilities set out on page five, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, 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 charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors 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 exists. 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 on the basis of these financial statements.

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:

Page 7

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH SPORTING ART TRUST

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

Page 8

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BRITISH SPORTING ART TRUST

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.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Other matters

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements 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)" (as amended) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. This has been done in order for the financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with current Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under Section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' 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 charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

THE BRITISH SPORTING ART TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011.

stated in the relevant accounting policy note and on a going concern basis.

The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemption in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

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.

Voluntary income received by way of donations and gifts to the Trust is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when received. Gifts of heritage assets are included in the Statement of Financial Activities at market value. Legacy income is recognised following a grant of probate when the executor or administrator has communicated in writing both the amount and the settlement date, which is normally when received.

Income from other trading activities is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.

Investment income is also included in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.

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.

Costs of raising funds are those incurred in the fundraising activities of the Trust. The costs of charitable activities include all resources expended by the Trust in undertaking its work to meet its charitable objectives.

ALLOCATION AND APPORTIONMENT OF COSTS

Costs incurred in the general running of the Trust, as opposed to direct management functions, are included as support costs.

THE BRITISH SPORTING ART TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Computer equipment - straight line 33 1/3%
Other office equipment - straight line 10%
Library and gallery equipment - straight line 10% and 20%

HERITAGE ASSETS

Heritage assets are stated at market value which is considered to be their fair value. A revaluation of painting, prints and objets d'art normally occurs normally every third year. Heritage assets are reviewed for impairment by the gallery curator. A detailed inventory is maintained of all heritage assets held.

STOCKS

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

TAXATION

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

FUND ACCOUNTING

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. The trustees may choose during the reporting period to set aside a part of the unrestricted funds to be used for a particular future project or commitment. By earmarking funds in this way, the trustees set up a Designated fund that remains part of the unrestricted funds of the charity.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Endowment funds are required to be invested/retained for the charity's purposes.

The cost of raising and administering funds is charged against the specific fund.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
