**TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

## **THE ARNOLD LEE CHARITABLE TRUST** 

## **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 note 2.2 within the accounting policies. 

## **b. Reserves policy** 

The reserves of the Charity as at 5 April 2023, which relate entirely to unrestricted funds amount to £2,216,164 (2022: £2,362,599). The free reserves of the trust as at 5 April 2023, which exclude the investments, amounted to £1,086,164 (2022: £1,232,599). It is the policy of the charity to maintain its funds in long and medium term investments and to generate regular income to meet its annual expenditure. Additionally, the trust maintains sufficient liquid funds to respond to emergency applications for grants which arise from time to time. 

## **c. Risk management** 

The Trustees continued to keep risk management at the forefront of their discussions. Risks are considered in the areas of investment policy and performance, governance effectiveness and grant making. As a result of the major risks identified, a number of mitigating actions were taken. 

The Trustees' aim is to continue their work and to continue funding charitable causes at the present level and therefore meet the trust's objectives. 

## **d. Results for the year** 

The Statement of Financial Activities set out on page 6 of the financial statements shows how the Trust's incoming resources have been expended during the year ended 5 April 2023. 

Total incoming resources amounted to £143,853 (2022: £895,717), comprising investment income of £143,853 (2022: £155,533) and donations of £nil (2022: £740,184). 

Total expenditure for the year was £290,288 (2022: £259,649), which included grants paid to charitable institutions of £254,878 (2022: £244,282) and governance costs of £35,410 (2022: £15,367). 

There was no movement in the valuation of the Trust’s investment property during the year or the prior year. 

Accordingly, the deficit for the year was £146,435 (2022: £636,068 surplus).  After bringing in the brought forward reserves of £2,362,599 (2022: £1,726,531), the closing unrestricted funds at 5 April amounted to £2,216,164 (2022: £2,362,599). 

The Balance Sheet set out on page 7 of the financial statements shows the financial position of the Trust at 5 April 2023. 

The Trust owns one investment property, which is valued at £1,130,000 (2022: £1,130,000). 

Net current assets of £1,086,164 (2022: £1,232,599) is represented by debtors of £338,823 (2022: £523,732) plus cash at bank and in hand of £782,794 (2022: £740,304), less current liabilities of £35,453 (2022: £31,437). 

Total net assets amount to £2,216,164 (2022: £2,362,599), which is represented by the closing balance on the unrestricted funds.

## **THE ARNOLD LEE CHARITABLE TRUST** 

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of The Arnold Lee Charitable Trust ('the Charity')** 

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 5 April 2023. 

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 financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed 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 financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in 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 financial statements 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 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 financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

**THE ARNOLD LEE CHARITABLE TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

## **1. General information** 

The Arnold Lee Charitable Trust is a charitable trust registered at the Charities Commission in England and Wales with charity number 264437. The principal office is 16 Great Queen Street, London, WC2B 5AH. 

The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£), which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

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 in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The Arnold Lee Charitable Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

## **2.2 Going concern** 

Having considered post year-end financial results and cash reserves, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **2.3 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. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

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. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

**THE ARNOLD LEE CHARITABLE TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.4 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. 

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. 

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **2.5 Investments** 

Investment properties held as fixed assets are intially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. 

## **2.6 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. 

## **2.7 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 in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.

**THE ARNOLD LEE CHARITABLE TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.8 Financial instruments** 

The Charity has elected to apply Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. 

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Charity after deducting all of its liabilities. 

The Charity’s policies for its major classes of financial assets and financial liabilities are set out below. 

## **Financial assets** 

Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financing transactions are those in which payment is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate. 

Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. 

## **Financial liabilities** 

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financing transactions are those in which payment is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

## **Impairment of financial assets** 

Financial assets measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount the Charity would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date. 

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If the financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. 

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

**THE ARNOLD LEE CHARITABLE TRUST NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **Financial instruments (continued)** 

## **Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities** 

Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions. 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. 

## **Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities** 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

## **2.9 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. 

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund. 

## **3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment** 

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. 

## **Valuation of investment properties** 

The investment properties were valued at a fair value of £1,130,000 by a Trustee. The Trustee is a Chartered Surveyor with experience in the commercial property investment market. However, there is an inevitable degree of judgement involved in that each property is unique and value can only ultimately be reliably tested in the market itself.
