Repairs Reserve- The Trust's policy is to maintain sufficient reserves to meet anticipated rcpairs. Sinking Funds- Sinking Funds have been set up to meet predicted future costs for known large capital items.. the roof, lift and heating system. Investment Policy The investment objective is to maximise a balanced return from incon]e and capital over the longer term without taking undue risk. This is achieTr'ed by investing principally in listed common investment trusts and fixed interest stocks. The following7 ethical restriction applies to the portfolio- direct investment in annament, lobacco and gFamblingT involN'ement is not permitted. T¢nants' Report Ground floor front- the fornier unoccupied shop is now occupied by The General Assembly, and it is intended to refurbish this space in 2024. Ground Floor.. Whitestone Chambers, a fiml of barristers, started the year in occupation of the Martineau Hall but moved out in July 2023. The (ieneral Assembly took over this space. The (yeneral Assembly also occupies storage space in parts of the basement (including the old shop kitchen space), the Hamian Room in the basement. and a Ground Floor Reception. First Floor.. At th¢ start of the y¢ar, th¢ upper level was o¢cupi¢d by th¢ G¢n¢ral Ass¢mbly of Unitarian & Free Christian Churches. along with the Lindsey Room at the front. The lower level of the first floor ivas occupied by Little Essex Street SeTrice Company (previously Brick Court Chambers), a BatTiSters" Chambers.

At the year end. there was hope that all areas of the building would shortly be let or in use. There were plans under consideration for refurbishing the old ground floor shop space, and the Hamian Room in the Basement. ACHJEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Impact of Covid 19. The Trnst's investments have been subject to fluetllations in value during the year. The impact of these tactors has been to reduce income but has not resulied in a crisis. The location of Essex Elall in a central area for the legal profession has given hope for recovery and long-term security. The surplus for the year, and reserves built UP ON'er the past decade, should ensure that the Trust remains in robust financial health until the London property market recovers. The Trustees cannot take this for granted and remain alert to the impact of Covid 19.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not coNer the other information and. except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 infomlation is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtsined 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other infomiation.

Page 7 Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the trustee's responsibilities statement set out on page 4, the trustees (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 rnisstatement, 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, disclosing, as applicable, matters 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 altemative but to do so. Auditor'5 responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain Teasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement. whether due to traud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Rea.%nnable assurance is a high ILvel of a$8uranee, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance wilh ISAS (UK) will always detect a mai¢rial misslalcin¢nt when il cxists. Missiai¢menls can aris¢ trom traud or error and are considered material if. indiN'idually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economie decisions ot users taken on the basis of these financial statements. A turther description of our responsibilities tor the audit of the financial slalements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. MNTrv.frc.org.uklauditorsresponsibilities. This description fonns part of our auditor's report. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined aboN'e, to detect material niisstatements in respect of irregularities. including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. 1. At the planning stage of the audit we gain an understanding of the laws and regulations which apply to the company and how the management seek to cornply with those laws regulations. This helps us to plan appropriate risk assessments. 2. During the audit we focus on relevant risk areas and reTriew the compliance Th'ith the laws and regulations by making relevant enquiries and undertaking corroboration, for eyample by reviewing Board Minutes and other documentation. 3. We asses5 the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements including as a result of fraud and undertook procedures including- ReviewingJ the controls set in place by managernent; b. MakingF enquiries of management as to whether they consider fraud OT Other i￿e￿￿UlaTItY may have taken place, OT where such opportunity might exist; ¢. ChallLnging management a8%umptions with rcgard to accounting eqtimatcs; and d. Id¢nlilyin&J and l¢sling journal ¢niri¢s, pariicularly thos¢ which app¢ar lo b¢ unusual by siz¢ or nature.

Page 8 Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect 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 insL2nces of non-compliance. -L'he risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealrnent, forgery, collusion, omission OT misrepresentation. Use of our Report This report is made solely to the charitable company's members. as a body, in a¢cordan¢e with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that Nve might %tate to the Charitable eompaiiy's members ihose mallcrs WL are required to state lo iliem in an audilor"s tL'POrt and for no other putyose. To the fullest extent pemiitted b), law, Ive do not accept or assuine responsibility to anyone other than the charits]ble company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work. tor this report, or for the opinions we have fomied. 27 Aug 2024 Samantha Daniels {Senior Statutory Auditor) For and on behalf of Shaw Gibbs (Audit) Limited, Statutory Auditor 264 Banbury Road, Oxford, OX2 7DY
