Trustees' report For the year ended 31 December 2021

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the 1 January

2021 to 31 December 2021. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the Charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statements of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102).

The Charity also trades under the name The Incorporated Trustees Of The Armenian Church of Saint Sarkis.

Objectives and Activities

a. Objectives and Activities

The objectives of the Charity are to permit the Church to be used, occupied and enjoyed as a place of public worship by members of the Armenian Church in England and as a residence for the clergyman and his family.

Each year our Trustees review our objectives and activities to ensure they continue to reflect our aims. In carrying out this review the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular its supplementary public guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit.

The Trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission.

The Charity is responsible for the management of the activities of the Armenian Church of St Sarkis and of the

Nevart Gulbenkian Church Hall.

Achievements and performance

a. Key financial performance indicators

The Trustees have continued to provide a suitable and convenient place of worship for the Armenian community in London.

Armenian community organisations have continued using the church hall with increased frequency for cultural and social activities in the evenings.

b. Review of activities

The remit of the Trustees is to maintain the church, vicarage, hall, and grounds. The Trustees have achieved this successfully. Further improvements have been made to the church hall, kitchens, and toilets. These have been a great success, indicated by increased usage of the facilities and enjoyment by the communities that use them.

c.
Investment
policy and
performance

The mandate set for our investment managers, JM Finn & Co. Limited, is ‘long term equity growth’. The portfolio, managed by JM Finn, was valued at £1,086,033 up from £934,569 twelve months ago. It should be noted that the gain is currently uncrystallized and does not represent free cash.

Developed markets provided strong returns in the fourth quarter, in spite of sentiment being shaken in late November by the rapid spread of the new Omicron variant, as market participants focused on the continuing global economic recovery. The economic recovery from the pandemic was set off by a starting gun like no other following the approval of a series of vaccines at the end of 2020. As stock inventories were emptied through the lockdown periods, previously shuttered supply lines met strong and seemingly instant demand boosted further by pent-up household consumption. The result of this is that, unsurprisingly, inflation has risen sharply as supply and demand imbalances have continued to squeeze prices higher. For decades Central Banks have been challenged by global disinflation and diminishing bond yields for which the 4% inflation rate reflected in the previous commentary seemed astonishing to report. That this figure has breached the 5% level in the UK serves to underline the extraordinary times in which we find ourselves. Although parallels with higher inflation seen in the 1970s feel reasonable on the face of it, many similarities stop beyond the high numbers. Whilst soaring energy prices contribute significantly, there will almost certainly be wage inflation in areas ranging from hospitality to haulage as well as increases in minimum wages as the government seeks to move the burden to companies paying staff below these levels. That said, it is entirely possible that the disinflationary impact of globalisation will once again re-assert itself. With Central Banks still unable to normalise interest rates since the financial crisis hit in 2008, America’s Federal Reserve has proved adept at guiding market participants to its thinking whilst, in spite of surging inflation, the Bank of England unusually wrong-footed the bond market by not raising interest rates in November only to increase them by 0.15% in December, perhaps stung by the IMF suggestion of ’inaction bias’. Given the focus on climate change around the COP 26 meeting, soaring energy costs have been less about scarcity and more about getting it to end users. In terms of gas, Europe finds itself in the unenviable position of being reliant on Russia for around half its supply. As to oil, we may be seeing the effects of scaled back investment following the collapse in demand through the early stages of the pandemic. This is important as the world seems to have hit the metaphoric stop button in fossil fuel use and exploration before the gap has been bridged to the Nirvana of renewable energy sources. The pandemic and the return of inflation have certainly provided both a challenging environment and a reminder of the need to focus on the longer term. Should the Omicron variant prove to be more akin to a flu virus that we can (and do) live with, as a number of epidemiologists have suggested, this could lead to the pandemic’s welcome demise. Moreover, a period of healthier inflation with wage growth feeding through to consumers feeling more confident should drive healthier growth. In the all-important US economy, in spite of strong returns in 2021, corporate earnings have risen to an extent that the market is a good deal less expensive at the year-end.

Financial

review a.

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this

reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

b. Principal risks and uncertainties

Funding: The St Sarkis Charity Trust, established to provide funding for the running costs and building works of the St Sarkis Church Trust, unbeknownst to us, took the decision to alter their mandate in recent years, and later, their funding by £2,000 per annum, until such time that it reduces to £2000 annually.

Trustees' report (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2021

c. Reserves policy

The Trustees endeavour to have sufficient reserves to continue the running of the Church, Church Hall and vicarage for the foreseeable future. As at the 31 December 2021, the total assets were £4,036,785, of which £318,658 was held in restricted funds, £2,611,455 was held in endowment funds and £1,106,672 was held in unrestricted funds. The liquid assets are c£1m with the building making up the remainder.

The principal funding source of the Charity is the Saint Sarkis Charity Trust.

Structure, governance, and

management a. Constitution

The Charity was established by Trust deed dated 8th January 1923 by Calouste Gulbenkian, is registered with the Charity Commission (Charity number 211230), 1st November 1963 and is an unincorporated charity.

Trustees must all be members of the Armenian Church. New trustees are appointed upon being nominated and elected in a duly constituted General Meeting. Trustees serve in an honorary capacity. The Trustees work to ensure that a sufficient number of serving trustees are professional persons who are able to keep abreast of developments in the law and best practice and will seek professional advice or training as appropriate. Such Trustees will normally serve on the Executive Committee, which manages the day-to-day affairs of the Trust. The overall decision-making authority resides in General Meetings of the Trustees.

b. Method of appointment or election of Trustees

The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and coopted under the terms of the Trust deed.

Independent examiner's report For the year ended 31 December 2021

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Armenian Church of St Sarkis (the 'Charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2021.

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) 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 been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

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

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2021

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The 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 the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published 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.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: 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 and Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and Charities Act 2011.

Armenian Church of St Sarkis constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.

1.2 Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:

The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Critical areas of judgment:

Depreciation is charged on tangible fixed assets to allocate the cost of the asset over its useful life. Useful lives of four years have been selected for plant and machinery and computer equipment, with no residual value. The Church Hall is being depreciated over a useful life of fifty years, and no depreciation is charged on the Church buildings and Vicarage as the residual value of the building is high given the maintenance carried out on an annual basis.

1.3 Going concern

The financial statements have been based on the expectation of the Charity continuing as a going concern for the next 12 months. The Trustees believe that there are no uncertainties regarding the accounts being prepared on a going concern basis.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2021

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.4 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the Charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the Charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the Charity, or the Charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Investment income and donations from the Trustees of St Sarkis Charity Trust are accounted for on a receivable basis. Other donations are credited to income when received.

Cash donations are received in the offertory box at the Church. This is periodically opened by a member of the clergy in the presence of a Trustee. The donations are counted and then banked at the earliest opportunity.

The Church hall hire income is accounted for in the period to which it relates.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2021

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Costs of generating funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

Charitable activities and Governance costs are costs incurred on the Charity's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the Charity apportioned to charitable activities.

Expenditure has been classified under the headings that aggregate all costs related to the category, and are recognised on an accrual basis. The irrecoverable element of VAT is included with the item of expense to which it relates.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity and includes the audit fee and costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity.

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.

1.6 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2021

1. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. 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:

Church hall - 2% straight line - Plant and machinery 25% straight line Fixtures and fittings - 25% straight line

The Church Building and the Vicarage are not depreciated due to their very long useful life and the Trustees do not wish to adopt a revaluation policy. It is the policy of the Trustees to maintain the Church Building and Vicarage at least to their current standard and to charge to the Statement of financial activities the cost of maintenance as is it incurred.

1.8 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance sheet date, unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and shown in the heading ‘Gains/(losses) on investments’ in the Statement of financial activities.

1.9 Interest receivable

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 by the Bank.

1.10 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.11 Cash at Bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1.12 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

Notes to the financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2021

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.13 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1.14 Pensions

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

1.15 Taxation

The charity is a registered charity and is exempt from income tax and corporation tax under s.478 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010.

1.16 Cash flow

The charity has taken advantage of the disclosure exemption of 'Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows' in preparing these financial statements as permitted by FRS102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".

2. Trustee remuneration

None of the Trustees received any remuneration or benefits in kind, nor were they reimbursed their expenses during the year.
