Philharmonia Limited (Limited by Guarantee) Report of the Board of Trustees, including Strategic Report LETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND PRESIDENT The 21122 finan¢i21 year spanned the last phase of the Covid pandemic and the fragile beginnings of a recovery from it. For the Philharmonia and the wider arts sector. this has meant a year of continued uncertainly and financial stress to players and businesses alike. Due to the long forward planning needs of classical music and the physical proximity of live performance, the arts sectorfs recovery was athays going to lag behind other areas. and the 21122 season was a testament lo this. As a result of this uncertainly, the past year saw the orchestra face some of the most significant threats of its 77-year history. We have weathered the storm due in no small part lo the dedication and exceptionally hard work of our staff, players and Board members, for which we would like lo extend our ulmosl thanks. The Orchestra as a company and the Orchestra as players fell the effects of these external challenges intensely bul differently.. whilst the limited comp2ny focused on financial solvency and flexible responses to planning and budget fluclualions, the players, needs and concerns were more immediate and tangible . The Members, Support Scheme of the previous year came lo an end in September 2022 and was replaced by a more largeled Hardship Fund open lo musicians facing continuing lin2ncial difficulty. There is of course no substitute for work in the diary in order lo allow musicians to SUPPOTI themselves financially and thrive arlislically, and il was made clear that the long-lerm retention of the core of the membership was going lo be heavily conditional on this. Planning over the period was hampered in part by the ongoing effects of Covid, as well as Changes in management, both of which have now been largely resolved. In August we welcomed the arrival of our new Chief Executive, Thorben Dittes, who has already made his mark on the running of the Orchestra. We are now confident of a bright and artistically strong future for the orchestra, bul the players themselves are Still enduring a work schedule with significant gaps continuing into the 22123 season. We have nonetheless been able to ensure a consislenlly high quality of work throughout the 21122 year albeit al a reduced frequency. Sanllu-Malia5 Rouvali continues lo define his arlisb"c leadership as principal conductor, accompanied by a roster of internationally acclaimed artists such as Marin Alsop, Joshua Bell. Nicola Benedeth., Herbert Blomsledt, Jakub Hrusa, Paavo Jarvi, Pekka Kuusislo, Vikingur Olaffson, Maria Joao Pires, Jakub Hrusa, Paavo Jarvi, Joshua Bell, Pekka Kuusisto and Gil Shaham amongst others. We are confident that the artistic excellence and reputation of the orchestra has remained intact during the pandemic and beyond, due in large parl lo the loyalty, commitment, and dedication of the orchestra's most precious asset.. the players. Despite the difficulties of the 21122 year, we maintained a high-quality and high-profile sel of major UK and international concerts, a5 well as a full and successful season al Garsinglon Opera. Our work with school Ghildren Iorcheslra Unwrapped), people with dementia (Hear and Now) and young instrumental talent IMMSFI continued largely uninlerrupled thank5 to the flexibility and adaptability of the programmes and staff and players driving them. The focus in 2021122 wa5 In supporting our long-lerm recovery and sustainability, from bold new ai115tic Gommissions lo continuing our commitment lo developing diverse talent al a time whèn our sector and young artists need this more than ever. The Philharmonia is fortunate lo have a cornmitled group of individual and inslitulional donors. In 2021122, we were supported by individuals. corporates, tiusts and foundations, and through a number of government inilialives which provided us with much-needed shorl-lerm ieliefand helped us lo plan ahead with confidence. The Culture Recovery Fund and the doubling of the Orche51Ta Tax Relief have been particularly welcome. Bul we face an immediate future with high levels of inflation, reduTrd funding from Arts Council England, and greater competition for existing fLJnds. The future success of the orchestra will rely on the flexibility. vision and boldness of our management team, Board of Iruslees and player members, and our willingness to champion the relevance of classical MLJSIC and the dislincliveness of the Philharmonia over the next decade. We are confident that we will be able to meet those challenges. We know that music has the power lo sustain us and provide hope, and we know that now it might be needed more than ever. Our thanks lo everyone who has helped us during 21122. We look fOard lo working with you in 22123. Lord King of Lolhbury and Kira Dohety December 2022 Page 4

Philharmonia Limited (Limited by Guarantee) Report of the Board of Trustees, includin Strate ic Report STRATEGIC REPORT ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE During the pandemic, we were partially operational, minimising outgoings, maximising income and creating new, world class music that has kept our orchestra together and playing and kept us connected to our audience. We have been dynamic and agile, maintaining and developing audiences in a new rJigit21 selling, even under challenging circumstances. We safeguarded the orchestra, ensuring that we were in the strongest possible position for when we performed to live audiences again. Although the peak of the pandemic has passed, Covid is still a reality that many of the people we work with have to navigate. We know that Some of the people wework with through our Learning and Engagement projects prefer in person events and others are much more comfortable online or being able lo alternate beeen the two. We have addressed this by including hybridlremole options, offering parallel sessions online, and making SU all sessions recognise that a greater number of people (especially older people) are still more likely to drop out last minute from individual sessions bul want lo continue with the programme. We address this by remodelling relevant projects in a way which makes iteasier to catch up if a session is missed, such as including more recap materials for participants. During the 21122 season, Covid remained a challenge in terms of travel restrictions. with some artistslconduclors still having problèms travelling lo the UK. We have, however, always been able to find replacement and have not had lo cancel any concert performances. Where we had lo replace an arlisl who is global majority or a woman, we have done OUT beslto replace the person in a way which doesn't negatively impact our ambition to plalloTm greater diversity. The fwus in 21122 was in supporting our long-lerm recovery and sustainability, keeping us relevant and dynamic, and moving us from emergency lo recovery working, delivering our organisalional vision.. to have a transformative impact on the widest possible audience. This was achieved through our ambitious Human.'Nature series and associated activities (moving to in-person delivery, in line with national public health guidance and audience feedback), and supported the long- term development ofour business.. working more sustainably,. championing diversity,. and, consolidating a more joined~up approach lo our activities which will have a long-term positive impact on the way that we work. We delivered bold programming, as a dynamiG and more connected organisalion. We are changing ourworking practices lo have a more collaborative and joined-up approach to our business. The Human'.Nalure series wa5 51ralegic, bringing together all departments, with a shared set of aims.

In 21122 we commissioned three new composition8, two within our main Royal Festival Hall season concerts and one within our Music of Today PLJrcèll Room concerts. We commissioned new works from five emerging composers (usually twollhree per year, but the Covid cohort was postponed to this yearl, performed and recorded as part of Music of Today. The broadened 21122 MMSF Instrumental Fellowship Scheme accepted 15 lop conservatoire graduates. bridging the difficult gap between full-time study and professional slalus. providing possible pathways into membership of the Orchestra. Success was measured by take-up, diversity and numberofapplicalions, and diversity ofparticipants (minimum 250/0 from underrepresented backgrounds). as well as detailed feedback from all groups involved in the programme. We created diverse programming, inspiring current audiences and the next generation of audiences and music makers. Our 2020-24 Equality Action Plan aimed lo increase representation of protected characteristics in all areas of our work.

LEARNING AND ENGAGEMENT We focused 21122 on building back stronger, more inlegraled and engaged residencies. During the pandemic our residency programmes were parlicularly affected and curlailed. Digital activity has allowed us lo continue suppoiling communities and engage with our work, but we need to use 21122 to re-eslablish our in-person work and important Learning & Engagement programmes. We consider participants in Ouf L&E programme as a parl of our core audience rather than as an additional group, This means that data capture relating to L&E participants is a parl of our organisalional data capture, will appear in our organisats'onal KPIS and data dashboard (being developed, for use internally and exlernaltyl, and will be included as a core part of our Audience Development Plan.

Our Learning & Engagement programme is at the core ofour work and engages Ihous8nds of people in the joy of music- making. The projects we create are rooted in our residency commLJnilies. As commilled collaborators, we design our projects with a wide range ol partners, from residency venues and music education hubs lo Community groups and local aulhorilies. During the pandemic we have been unable lo physically connect with project partners, communities, audiences. project beneficiaries, and performance venues.

Financlal management policy The Orchestra aims lo budget two to three years in advance, balancing the cost of orchestral concerts and other corework with gmnls and sponsorship income, as well as income directly generated by the work itself. If further activity is taken on once the budget has been sel for the year ahead, il is only accepted ifthe work can be funded or ifthere is any remaining subsidy lo be used. Regular communication with Arts Council England is also key lo this advance budgeting. Reserves policy Previously the Board ofTrustees has considered il unnecessary to hold an excessive level offoe reserves because of ils symbiotic relationship with the Philhaimonia Trust Limited. The Philharmonia Trust Limited supported the work of the Philharmonia Orchestra, primarily through an annual grant but also thiough the advance of additional finance when required. Following the merger with the Trust in 2020 the Trustees reviewed and refreshed their risk assessments and the Orchestra's Teserve policy, particularly in light of the Covid 19 pandemic. The Philharmonia Orchestra aims to have accessible free reserves lo coveral least 3 months ofoverhead costs al any one time and no less than £750,000. This will be maintained through cash reserves arkd investments that can be readily converted lo cash as required, any exce55 being used for designated projec15 and slrate9ic investments and in the short term lo be set aside lo cover any deficits arising from Covid-19 ove¥ the following years. An additional designated reserve will be maintained lor the nel book value of non-property fixed assets. Page 12

FUTURE PLANS Our focus in 22123 will build on our achievements in 21122, balancing the immediate financial needs of the organisalion with long term-sustainability and delivering our organisalional vision, lo have a Iransformalive impact on the widest possible audience. We know that this will be challenging in a fasl-changing lar>dscape, bul the lessons we have learned and work we have done during the last two years have laid the foundations lor a strong future. The funding reduction from Arts Council England and conlinLJed cost of living crisis creates further pressure on our players and orchestra as we continue lo deliver our ambitious artistic and education programmes. Responding lo the world around us, we will maintain this balance bebNeen long and short term needs and serving our residencies. We will identify environmentally friendly cost-S8ving measures which can support both the sustainability ofour busines5 and of the planet. Our ticket pricing will be re-slruclured in order lo both lower the starting lickel price lo make concerts affordable lo the widest possible audience, and also to grow income with dynamic pricing. New projects will be trialled in partnership with our communities. delivering what local people want in the new circumstances in which they find themselves. Talented, early-career musicians will be given the support that they need not only lo remain in the sector bul to thrive and we will continue lo invest and support our players. Inclusivity and Relevan will remain Central lo who we are and what we want lo achieve. reflected across all areas ofour business, audiences, and lalentdevelopmenl programmes. Vve will continue building partnerships with cultural organisalions, broadcasting and performing 2cross the UK and beyond and will continue lo showcase the very best that classical music has to offei. Fundraising will remain at the core of the Philharmonia, undertaking to make fundabilily an essential part of project research and development, further ensuring financial resilience and relevance lo funders, interests lying increasingly in the community, outreach and impact spaces.

Philharmonia Limited (Limited by Guarantee) Report of the Board of Trustees, including Strategic Report PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES The environment in which the Orchestra opeTates is inherently risky with the organisation exposed lo many economic, geopolitical and artistic risks in the course of normal aclivilies. Atthe start of the season riskwas identified from COVID-19 recovery, with continued restrictions on inlemalional touring, and concern about audience levels. Whilst the landscape has improved, and audience levels have returned to pre- pandemic levels, there followed extreme uncertainty around the Orchestra's ability lo achieve its objectives,. raise additional funds through donations and grants,. as well as maintain the returns expected on inveslmenls. Vvhilstthe return to live performances in 2021 has been welcome, the p8ndemic continues lo impact on touring, logistics and audience development and remains a key risk for the foreseeable future. In April 2022 restrictions on the Catalyst Endowment fund were lifted, and the Orchestra has agreed with funders the ability to draw down money from the fund lo support the orchestra and il's players, with monthly repayments back lo an endowment fund on similar terms starling from 2027. This provides stability. cash flow support and mitigates otherexlernal financial risks. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia resulted in a review of performances, repertoire and artist engagements linked lo Russia with minor adaptions made lo programming. The orchestra also received newengagements as a resultof Russian Orchestras, unavailabilily. including performing al the Mikkeli Festival in Finland for the first lime. The Trustees are very conscious of the cost of living crisi$ 2nd its impact on musicians, staff and audiences and future costs. A hardship fund has been pul in place for players, and the orchestra is working closely with other sector organisalions lo monitor and support the workforce. A flexible lickel pricing structure has been irnplemented from January 2023 for own promotion concerts, with lickels from £1010 ensure that music performances remain accessible to the public. Inflation continues lo be a significant concern. Fuel prices for the Orchestra are fixed until 2023 bul rising cost prices and the current exchange rale position are significant. Financial scenario modelling has been done to ensure that investment is maintained in the artistic programme and the Trustees have commilled to financially support the Orchestra lo achieve its three-year plan through use of allocated reserves. In general Trustees try to minimise risk exposure lo achieve an overall lowlrnediutn risk profile. Methodology The organisalion takes a bollom-up approach lo risk management with the senior management team responsible for regularly updating the Risk Register, scanning the environment for new risks and managing existing risk. Each risk is evaluated and assigned to a senior manager who will ensure that appropriate risk miligalion is pul in place using the TARA method (Transfer, Avoid, Reduce, cepti. The Risk Register is prepared on a traffic light system and those items deemed lo have a residual risk for example, risk after mitigation, of medium to high are escalated to the Finance Committee for further action. The Finance Committee reviews the Risk Register on a quarterly basis in advance of presentation lo the Board. Key Risks & Uncertainties Al the dale of signing the Principal risks facing the Orchestra currently are.. The impact ol COVID-19 recovery on our ability lo perform and deliver our objectives both now and in the future. The risk related lo our ability to maintain and increase income levels has heightened and will continue lo impact us forsome lime lo come. The Orchestra is very grateful lo have received Covid Relief Funding from Arts Council England both during the period, and in the prior year bul this is not expected lo be ongoing. The war in Ukraine and related events lake place 81 a time of significant global econcimic uncertainly and the effects are likely to interactwilh current market conditions. The investment managers for Philharmonia Limited confirmed their actions on any Russian based investments which included a reduction in exposure to Russia last year and to date. As a result of the punitive measures taken against Russia since the invasion, Russia will assume standalone market status alongside countries including Panama, Lebanon. Palestine, Botswana and Zimbabwe. There won't be any write downs reqLJired lo Philharmonia Limited's investments post year end 88 the impact of Russian sanctions is already priced into the value of the investments. In addition, the Board has reviewed ils exFK)sure lo Russia within the sanctions regime and Consider Page 14
Philharmonia Limited (Limited by Guarantee) ort of the Board of Trustees, including StrategiG Report there to be no material exposure. Given this, we believe no further adjuslmenls 10 31 August 2022 financial 51atemenls need lo be taken into consideration and the current conflict should be considered a non-adju5ti.ng event. The main source of voluntary income in 2022 iemains Arts Council England NPO funding at £2,057.000, 24.3°14117 months ending 31 Augus12021 _ 230/¢l of total income This funding has been al a standstill level for a number of periods, meaning a decrease in real terms. There is a risk that this level of funding could reduce, through future changes in governtnenl policy or otherwise. NPO funding has been confirmed for the Orchestra for the next 3-year funding cycle al £1,830,223 pei annum, a further reduclion of12'/0 on previous annual revenue. Activity plans will be adapted overlhe next months lo reftect the reduced funding levels and NPO requirements. though adaptions may not be able lo cover the full financial exposure. The Trustees remain commilled lo the long-lerm strategic plan for the Orchestra and have approved a deficit budget for the next 3 years to ensure that the Orchestra continues to invest in the Artistic Oulpul and longer-lerm growth and maximises opportunities in the UK and Inlernalionally for audiences for symphonic music and community and education work. A significant proportion of the Orchestra's income is earnecs from international touring, from tours to European countries. The current pandemic, and the exil of the UK from the EU, has raised a question as lo what tours may be possible in the future. Diffèrent countries have different requirements for Iravelling musicians, and for Iravelling goods (musical instruments, elc.), and the Eu's cabotage regulations make regular use of the Orchestra's truck difficult for European touring. The Orchestra has adopted a policy of remaining in touch with relevant Government bodies and industry represenlalives in order lo ensure Ihal we are as informed as possible, and best placed lo lake miligaling action al the appropriate lime. Income from sponsorship, donations and from Trusts and Foundations is key to every area of the Orchestra's aclivilies, from concert planning to digital, education and outreach work. We have taken steps proactively lo strengthen our ftjndraising function, including the creation of a Development Board, and the re-shaping of the Development team. The merger between Philharmonia Limited and Philharmonia Trust Limited, which completed at midnight on 31 Maich 2020 and has been more concretely bedded-in during the period. has already shown lo be a great benefit as we face the challenges brought by the pandemic. GOING CONCERN The Orchestra relies substantially on funding by grants from Arts CoLsncil England IACEI for its current and future commitments. This funding is primarily via National Portfolio Organisations INPOI annual revenue funding and also via other ACE funding programmes. In response to an application for NPO funding for 2018-22, the Orchestra received nolilication that NPO funding for this year would be maintained al existing levels, that its application for ACE'S NPO funding extension year of April 2022 10 March 2023 has been successful and believes its plans lo be robust, appealing, and deserving offunding. The Orchestra successfully submitted an application for continued NPO funding for the Ihree-year period 2023-26 as noted above. Despite the uncertainty brought about by COVID-19 pandemic, the cost of living crisis and future ACE funding levels, the merger in March 2020 between Philharmonia Limited and Philharmonia Trust Limited has boosted the Orchestfft's financi81 resilience, fundraising abilities and charitable governance. The merger increased the fixed assets held by Philhamionia Limited with the transfer of the property at Chancel Street lo Philharmonia Limiled's balance sheet. It also provided access lo draw upon the 2005 Endowment Fund1£2.8m al 31 March 20211, an endowment previously held within the investment portfolio of Philharmonia Trtjsl. Although not desirable to lake from this fund al such a lime, il is reassuring lo know Ihatthe investment fund is available to the Orchestra on demand. In addition, from April 2022 DCMS IArls Council England and the Charities Commission have removed restrictions on the usage of the Catalyst endowment fund lo improve cashflow and enable appropriate investment in the organisalion in response lo the difficulties faced during. anij after, the pandemic. This has been transferred lo designated unreslricled funds in the financial stalemenls. All usage of the original Catalyst fund will be repaid lo a restricted similar Fund with repayments commencing on a straighl-line basis from 2017 10 2035. Income from the reslricled fund will have the same conditions around income usage for touring and out of London activity as the original Catalyst Fund. A detailed budgeting process takes place every year. Across the pandemic, and in the current lime, particularscruliny has been and is being given lo budgeting and financial management. Having considered all the above mallers and regarding the value of property 2nd inveslmenls, the Trustees Consider that Ihe'going concern, status of Philharmonia Limited is an appropriate assumption for the preparation of these financial slalements.

In preparing the financial slatemenls, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Group's and the Parent Charitable Company's ability lo continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, mallers related lo 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 allernalive bul lo do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statem8nts We have been appointed as auditor unojer the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect Ihereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstalemenl, 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, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will aayS delect a material misstatement when il exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consideied material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected lo influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Extent lo which the audit was Gapable of detecting irregularities, including fraud Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation5. Vve design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to delecl material misslalemen15 in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent lo which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.. We inquired of management. and the Finance Committee, including ob18ining and reviewing supporhng documentation. concerning the group's policies and procedures relating lo.. identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance.. delecling and responding lo the risks offraud and whelherthey have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud., 8nd the internal controls established lo miligale risks related to fmud or non-compliance with laws and regulations. We obtained an understanding of the leg21 and regulatory frameworks that are applicable lo the GTOUP. These include, bul are not limited to, compliance with the Companies Act 2006, and UK GAAP. Pag¢ 22
Philharmonia Limited (Limited by Guarantee) Independent Auditor's Report (continued) In addition. the Charity is subject lo many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-complian could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial slatemenls, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified the following areas as those Most likely lo have such an effect.. employment law and data protection. We evaluated management's incenb'ves and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements lincluding the risk of override of conlrolsl, and determined that the principal risks were related lo posting inappropriate journal entries lo manipulate financial results and management bias in accounting estimates. We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations, potential fraud risks and the fact that there were no known matters of significant non-compliance with laws and regulations. lo all engagement team members, and remained alert to any indication5 of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit Audit rgsponse to risks entifIed We reviewed the financial 5talemenl disclosures and tested lo supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations di5CUSsed above.. We made enquiries of the Finance Committee and management., We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due lo fraud., We read minutes of meètings of those charged with governance, and reviewed correspondence with HMRC and the Charity Commission., and In addressing the risk of fraLJd through management override of controls, we lesled the appropriateness ofjournal entries and other adjustments,, assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting eslimales are indicative of a potential bias", and evaluated the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. We challenged assumptions made by management in their significant accounting eslimales in particular in relation to the assumptions related to the allocation of costs including apporlionmenl of support costs, deferral of income, recognition of grants, and depreciation rates for assets. Our audit procedLJres were designed to respond lo risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstalemenl due lo fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by. for example, forgery. misrepresenlalions or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulation5 is from the events and transactions refiecled in the financial statements. the less likely we are lo become aware of it.

Philharmonia Limited (Limited by Guarantee) ACCOUNTING POLICIES For the year ended 31 August 2022 (Comparatives are stated for the 17 month period ended 31 August 2021) A summary of the principal accounting policies for the year ended 31 August 2022. all of which have been applied consistently throughout the year and the preceding year is set out below. BASIS OF PREPARATION Thè financial slalemenls have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historic cost convention. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Slalemenl 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 IFRS102 leffeclive 1 January 2015 (Charities SORP FRS 1021 the Financial Reporting Stsndard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared for the year ending 31 August 2022 with the comparatives for the 17-month period lo 31st August 2021. The rationale of the change being that this brings the company's financial year end in line with the concert season. GOING CONCERN For the year ended 31 August 2022 the Orchestra relied subslanlially on funding by grants from Arts Council England (ACE) for its current and future commitments. This funding is primarily via National Portfolio Organisalions INPOI annu81 revenue funding, bul also via other ACE funding programmes. The current ACE funding is pla lo 31 March 2023. In response to an application for NPO funding for 2023-26, the Orchestra has received notifi¢alion that NPO funding for the next funding CYC would be maintained 21 a 12% reduction on previous annual funding levels. Desplte the uncertainly brought about by COVID-19 pandemic, the cost of living crisis and future ACE fLJnding levels, the merger in March 2020 between Philharmonia Limited and Philhamonia Trust Limited has hoosled the Orchestra's financial resilience, fLJndraising abilities and charitable governance. The merger increased the fixed assets held by Philharmonia Limited with the transfer of the property al Chancel Street lo Philharmonia Limiled's balance sheet.11 also provided access lo draw upon the 2005 Endowment Fund1£2.7m al 31 August 2022}, an endowment previously held within the investment portfolio of Philharmonia Trust. Although not desirable to take from this fund al such a time, il is reassuring lo know Ihatthe investment fund is available lo the Orchestra on demand. In addition, from April 2022 DCMS l Arts Council England and the Charities Commission have removed restrictions on the usage of the Calalysl endowment fund lo improve cashflow and enable appropriate investment In the organisation in response to the difficulties faced during, and after, the pandemic. This has been transferred lo designated unreslricled funds in the financial slatemenls. All usage of the original Catalyst fund will be repaid lo a restricted similar fund with repayments commencing on a slraight-line basis from 2017 to 2037, with income from the fund having the same conditions around touring and out of London activity as the original Catalyst Fund. A detailed budgeting process lakes place every year. Across the pandemic, and in the current time, particular scrutiny has been and is being given lo budgeting and financial management. Having considered all the above mallers and with particular regard lo the value of property and inveslmenls, the Trustees consider that the 'going concern, status of Philharmonia Limited is an appropriate assumption for the prepamlion of these financial slatemenls. CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the results of Philharmonia Limited and ils subsidiary undertakings Rite Digital Lirniled, The Marlin Musical Scholarship Fund and Philharmonia Trust Limited, which are all controlled by Philharmonia Limited. All financial slalemenls for subsidiaries are made upto 31 August 2022. All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions bebNeen group companies are eliminated on consolidation. KEY AREAS OF SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY In the application of the charity's accounting policies, Trustees are required to make judgements, eslimales and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The eslimales and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and olherfactors which are considered relevant. Actual resLJlts may differ from these eslimales. The only significanljudgemenl was to maintain the value of the music library at its existing nel book value on transfer from the Philharmonia Trust Limited. The Directors decided not to increase the value, due to the uncertainty ol the valuation. Page 27
Philharmonia Limited (Limited by Guarantee) ACCOUNTING POLICIES For the year ended 31 August 2022 (Comparatives are staled for the 17 month period ended 31 August 2021) The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed ori an on-going basis.

Rile Digital transfers ils surplus to Philharmonia Limited under the terms of Gift Aid al year end OT carries forward any deficit lo future years. EXPENDITURE Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred and on an accruals basis. Expenditure is classified as either Raising Funds or Exp6nditure on Charitable Activity.

As a general rule. purchases less Ihan £1,000 are not considered for capilalisation unless for security reasons they need to be recorded in the fixed asset register le.g. laptop computers). Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets except those which are considered lo be of high residual value where the annual depreciation charge WOLJld therefore be immaleri21, at rates calculated lo write off the ¢oslof the assets down lo ils eslimaled residual value evenly over ils expected useful life, on a slraighl line basis, as follows.. Flxtures and fittings Musical Instruments Computer equipment Properly improvements Property Music library 5 years 10 years 3 years 20 years 50 years 50 years The carrying v81ues of tangible fixed assets are reviewed from lime to lime for impairment should events or Changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. INTANGIBLE ASSETS Intangible assets are capilalised where il is probable that the expected economic gains that are attributable lo the asset will flow to the enlily. Website development Costs will therefore fall into this category and have been included on the balance sheet at cost. In the financial year 2022 the website has been fully depreciated on an aclerated basis lo reflect the actual useful economic life of the asset.
