Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Period from 5 August 2024 to 31 August 2025

Structure, governance and management

Naaleh Beis Yaakov is constituted by Memorandum and Articles of Association and is a company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 05 August 2024 as a company and the company number is 15877192. It was registered as a charity on 19 May 2025 with a charity number 1213330.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees would be in line with the Memorandum and Articles of Association and with the consent of the trustees. The criteria set for the suitable candidate would be someone who is sensitive to the needs and demands of the organisation.

There is no chief executive officer. The day-to-day affairs are undertaken by the trustees. All major decisions are taken collectively by the trustees, and all the trustees give of their time freely. The trustees are unpaid and details of any related party transactions are disclosed as applicable in the notes to the accounts. The arrangements for setting the pay of the charity’s employees are the sole domain of the trustees.

There are no policies for the induction or training of new trustees.

Risk review

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Trust and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage our exposure to the major risks.

The risks faced by the trust are principally operational risks from ineffective grant making. These risks are managed by the trustees researching potential beneficiaries before granting donations. Additionally, the risk of the school not operating in line with DFE guidelines.

Report back and review procedures strengthen these safeguards to ensure public benefit is achieved from all grants. With reference to DFE, the school is constantly updating and reviewing school policies and activities.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Period from 5 August 2024 to 31 August 2025

Achievements and performance

The charity paid out £154,438 in direct educational expenditure as well as £12,767 in support costs.

The charity had low governance and support costs, and the charity achieved this objective by maintaining tight controls over office & other support costs.

There were no material fundraising costs incurred during the year.

There were no investments made during the year.

Related party transactions are disclosed as applicable in the notes to the accounts.

During the year, the charity purchased a Portakabin and renovated it and the surrounding area to a high standard that is suitable for a school. The amounts paid out in the year can be found in the notes to the accounts.

There was an overall net income and net movement in funds for the year amounting to £148,776, of which £14,472 is attributable to the restricted fund.

Financial review

The charity received £37,533 in voluntary contributions during the year as well as £255,304 in donations.

Grants received totalled £19,960 and other income amounted to £3,162.

Reserves

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a level sufficient to cover unforeseen and major expenditure and shortfalls in income. The governors remain confident in their ability to raise the necessary funds, thereby adhering to the stated policy and to the maintenance of a balanced budget.

The free reserves, represented by the net current liabilities of the charity stand at (£46,302) all of which is attributable to the unrestricted fund. The trustees acknowledge this point and are confident that the charity will be able to continue for the foreseeable future as the trustees are committed to raising funds to ensure the charity is able to repay its creditors as they fall due for repayment. Additionally, £44,000 of the creditors relate to amounts owing to the trustees who have given assurances that they will not call in their loans to the detriment of the charity. It is appropriate therefore for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.

Total funds held by the charity at the year-end were £148,776, of these £134,304 are unrestricted.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Naaleh Beis Yaakov

Period from 5 August 2024 to 31 August 2025

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Naaleh Beis Yaakov ('the charity') for the period ended 31 August 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

The free reserves, represented by the net current liabilities of the charity stand at (£46,302) all of which is attributable to the unrestricted fund. The trustees acknowledge this point and are confident that the charity will be able to continue for the foreseeable future as the trustees are committed to raising funds to ensure the charity is able to repay its creditors as they fall due for repayment. Additionally, £44,000 of the creditors relate to amounts owing to the trustees who have given assurances that they will not call in their loans to the detriment of the charity.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Period from 5 August 2024 to 31 August 2025

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Period from 5 August 2024 to 31 August 2025

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.

4. Limited by guarantee

Naaleh Beis Yaakov is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee and does not have a share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
