The property valuation is based on the trustees, estimate of anticipated realisable value with reference to a valuation undertaken in January 2025. Incoming resources increased to £86,677,00012023'. £65,458,000). Member donations increased to £42,918.00012023'. £40.634.0001. Donations from related parties increased to £42,012,00012023: £23.667.0001 comprising funding from CHC provided for general working capital needs. Incoming resources exceeded resources expended for the year by £2.384.000, and after accounting for an actuarial gain. the increase in funds was £6.881.000 for the year. The Charity's wholly owned trading subsidiary, OHL, continues to make plans to dispose of the property due to an inability to gain planning approval to develop the site for its intended use. Investment powers and policy Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Charity has the power to invest in any way the trustees deem to be in the best interests of the Charity. The Charitws objective is to maintain high liquidity while ensuring maximum security and achieving the highest possible return. Reserves policy Total charity funds held at 31 December 2024 were £239.284.000. The free reserves of the Charity, as calculated by the unrestricted reserves less the fixed asset value, are negative at £4,313,000 12023.. negative £3,440.0001. This typically arises because of a policy of active cash management which strives to maintain the minimum bank balance necessary to fund attivities. The Trustees are satisfied free reserves are within an acceptable range. Furthermore, if ever there was a need for more funds, grants will be provided by CHC. The target level of free reserve5, established by the trustees, is a maximum of £2,000,000 being the equivalent of 12 months average net charitable expenditure. Due to the proven availability of funding from CHC, it is not felt essential to ensure a minimum level of reserves is consistently maintained over the short-term. Reserve levels will naturally fluctuate depending on whether additional funds are required to fund the implementation of Church priorities. or the charity has existing cash reserves to do so. These reserves can be utilised to meet those expanding priorities, such as temple construction.

These new installations provide more light and less heat at a lower cost. They use approximately 85% less electricity than our previous conventional lighting. o Energy Efficiency action plan - Various draught proofing and energy conservation measures have been implemented. This includes 3 window replacements. o All vehicles of senior Area ecclesiastical leaders are Mild-Hybrid or PHEV. o Vehicle telematics and driver scoring have reduced fuel consumption in Missions, with plans to roll out to all vehicles in 2025. o A phased plan is in place to replace all diesel vans used by Facilities Managers with hybrid vehicles. commencing in 2024 and continuing into 2025 o Proposals to install charging stations at the Area office or expatriate housing are still to be implemented, which would use PHEV more efficiently. Fundraising Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints make voluntary tithing donations of one- tenth of their income. They may also choose to make donations to the Charit￿5 other funds. All donation5 are unsolicited, and no fundraising 15 done for the Charitys own funds. Principal risks and uncertainties Risk management is embedded in the day-to-day processes of the Charity- The annual risk assessment process documents the risks perceived by senior personnel representing each of the major functions in the Chariws organisation. Those risks are collated into an Area Risk Plan which is regularly reviewed by the Area Controls Committee whose members include one of the trustees, the Area Controller, in-house legal counsel and a representative from CHC. Risk management strategies are identified and implemented to mitigate key risks. Risks of the Charity which are currently being worked on are- o Remaining compliant with emerging regulatory requirements, such as tracking energy consumption. o Ensuring policies, procedures and staffing are adequate to meet the growing administrative functions operating in the UK to support the Europe North Area. Another potentially significant risk is that the Charity relies on member donations to finance its charitable activities. and these can fluctuate in value from year to year. Also, expenditures can be impacted by global decisions, such as the decision to build a new temple or an increase in the number of missionaries serving in the UK. However, the parent company ha5 guaranteed its future financial support. where necessary, to ensure that the Charity has sufficient reserves to meet the costs of its charitable activities. There are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 17 THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LAThER-DAY SAINTS (GREAT BRITAIN) Report of the trustees (incorporating the strategic report) for the year ended 31 December 2024 Financial and risk management The following statements summarise the Chariws identified forms of financial and risk management policies- o Price risk- Prices of materials purchased are subject to contracts with suppliers, based on current market prices. Payroll costs are subject to increase following the annual salary review process. o Credit risk- Due to the nature of its operations, providing credit, is not a material aspect of the Charity's operations. o Liquidity risk- the Charity has no long-term borrowings. Assurances of continuing financial support have been received from the parent company. o Interest rate risk- the Charity is able to place surplus funds on short-term deposit with the Charity's bankers. Interest income is low. so the Charity does not rely on this source of income. The trustees have a risk management strategy which encompasses: o an annual review of the risks the Charity may face. o the establishment of systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the strategy, and o the implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the Charity should those risks materialise. The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Trustee Date.. 26 September 2025 Company number: 00699764 19 Independent Auditorfs Report to the members and Trustees of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints {Great Britainl Opinion We have audited the financial statements of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'parent charitable compan¢) and its subsidiaries (the 'group'l for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise Group and Parent Charitable Company Statements of Financial Activities lincluding income and expenditure), the Group and Parent Charitable Company Balance Sheets, the Group and Parent Charitable Company Statements of Cash Flows 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 Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standord applicoble in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements: give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and parent charitable companvs affairs as at 31 December 2024, and of the group's and parent charitable company's incoming resources and application of resources, including the group's and parent income and expenditure. for the year then ended; have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing IUK}11SAs IUKII and applicable law. Our responsibilitie5 under those standards are further described in the auditor 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 f inancial 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. may cast significant doubt on the group's and parent charitable companrfs ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authori5ed for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 20 Independent Auditorfs Report to the members and Trustees of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints (Great Britain) (continued) Other information The other information comprises the information included in the trustees annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditorfs report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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 a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of thi5 Other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: the information given in the Trustees, report including the Strategic report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements. the Trustees, report and the Strategic report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit. we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees, report including the Strategic report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: the parent charitable company has not kept adequate and sufficient accounting records, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or the parent 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. 21 Independent Auditorfs Report to the members and Trustees of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints (Great Britain) (continued) Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Tru5tees' responsibilities statement, the Trustee5 (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they 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 Group's and the parent charitable company'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 Group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor re5ponsibilitie5 for the audit of the financial statement5 Our objettives 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 an 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 {UKI 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= Capability of the audit in detecting irregularitie5. includingfraud Based on our understanding of the charity and industry. and through discussion with the directors and other management las required by auditing standards). we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to health and safety, anti-bribery and employment law. We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a dirett impatt on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and taxation legislation. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements lincluding the risk of override of controls). and determined that the principal risks were related to management bias in accounting estimates and judgemental areas of the financial statements. 22 Independent Auditorfs Report to the members and Trustees of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints (Great Britain) (continued) Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included- Discussions with management and assessment of known or suspected instances of non- compliance with law5 and regulations {including health and safety) and fraud, Assessment of identified fraud risk factors- and Identifying and assessing the design effectiveness of controls that management has in place to prevent and detect fraud: and Conducting interviews with appropriate personnel to gain further insight into the control systems implemented, and the risk of irregularity; and Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates- and Performing analytical procedure5 to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships, including related party transartions. that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud- and Confirmation of related parties with management, and review of transactions throughout the period to identify any previously undisclosed transactions with related parties outside the normal course of business; and Review of significant and unusual transactions and evaluation of the underlying financial rationale supporting the transactions- and Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any manual entries made at the year-end for financial statement preparation. Reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance= and Review of internal controls and physical inspection of tangible assets susceptible to fraud or irregularity- Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detett all irregularities. 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 regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. 23 Independent Auditorfs Report to the members and Trustees of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints (Great Britain) (continued) As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS IUKI, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional 5cepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud 15 higher than for one resulting from error. as fraud may involve collusion. forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charity's internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees. Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees. use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained. whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditorfs report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation {i.e. gives a true and fair view). We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings. including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. Use of our report This report is made solely to the chariws members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditorfs 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 charitvs members as a body. for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
