Investments The Investment Policy was established in November 2002 and is now reviewed by the Trustees, Audit and Investment Committee on an annual basis. It has hyo functions, firstly, to develop capital gr￿h and, secondly, to provide a balanced portfolio. Presently, income from the investments is reinvested, but as and when necessary, could be used to fund the obj8Ctives of the Charity. Investment Managers are engaged by the Trust to manage the portfolio. The Investrnent Managers are asked to produce a portfolio which is liquid enou9h so that, rf necessary, investrnents can be sold to fund, for example, an emergency repair andlor any property development opportunity that may arise. Furthemore, the spread of investments within the portfolio is structured with a view to maximising the Trust's abilrty to select investments for sale in due course, which wll realise a gain on sale and not a loss. All of the Investment Managers are fully conversant with charities and their investment$. Th8 Trust has have given much thought to the monitoring of these investments. As a result the Investment Managers p￿pare statements twice a year showing the movement in capital value and the income re￿iVed from ass8ts under management. The viability of these investments is closely monitored and the Trusteès are conscious of the need for an increased endowm8nt to supplement the fund8 generated from the day to day oFerating activities of the Trust. The Trust recognises that the difficult conditions in the rural economy and the uncertainty surrounding farm subsidies post-Brexit may mean that, in the fLrture. the income from the investments will be increasingly important. On the Endowment Estate the Trust continues to explore developmenl potential and diversification opportunities where appropriate to help augment this fund. Be￿een 1 April 2024 and 31 March 2025 the listed investment portfolio value d8creas8d by £369,307 {2024 increased by £1,135,999}. The poor level of performance was attributed to the ongoing war in Ukraine and increasing infiationary pressures ¢n the UK economy. It is, however, likely that performance will likely negative for the following year as a result of challenges facing the global and domestic economies and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

Th8 Trust has set aside these reserves in order to protect the future operations of the Charity from the effects of any unfores88n variations in ts income streams as part of a policy of good financial management practice.

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 irregularities, including fraud. Th& extent to ￿lch our procedures are capable of detecting i￿egUlar1ties, including fraud is detailed below.. Our assessment focussed on key laws and regulations the Parent Charitable Company has to comply with and areas of the financial statements we assessed as being mor8 susceptible to misstatement. These key laws and regulations included bul were not limited to compliance with the Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, Chatities (Protection and Social Investment) A¢t 2016, tsxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery and employment legislation. We are not responsi1￿e for preventing irregularities. Our approach to detecting irregularities included, but was not limrf(ed to, the following= obtaining an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework aP￿Icable to the Parent Charitable Company and howthe Parent Charitable Company is complying with thal framework, including agreement of financial statement disclosures to underlying documentation and other evidence., obtaining an understanding ofthe Parent Charitatle Company control environment and how Ihe Parent Charitable Company has applied relevant ¢ontrol procedures, through discussions with Trustees and other management and by perfoming walkthrough testing over key areas; obtaining an understanding of the Parent Charitable Company's risk assessment process, including the risk of fraud., reviewing meeting minutes of those charged with govemance throughout the year, 15 LAMPORT HALL PRESERVATION TRUST LIMITED AND ITS SUBSIDIARY UNDERTAKINGS Independent AudIt0￿8 Report to the members of Lamport Hall Preservation Trust Limited (continued) perfomiing audit testing to address th8 risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal cours8 of business and ￿VIewIng accounting estimates for bias- and obtaining sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial infonnation of the entities or business activtties within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supeNision and Performan￿ of the group audit. Wé remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. Whilst considering how our audrt work addressed the detection of irregularities, we al$0 considered the likelihood of detection based on our approach. Irregularities arising from fraud are inherently more difficult to dete¢t than those arising from error. Because of the inherent limf(ations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial ststements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is r8moved from the events and transaGtions reflected in the financial statements. as we will be less likely lo become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also g￿￿er regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud ratherthan error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

The results of the charity's non-charitable trading subsidiaries, Lamport Enterprises Limited and Lamport Farms Limrted, have been incorporated on a line by line basis. A separate Ststement of Financial Acb'vilies and In¢ome and Expenditure Account for the charity has not been presented because the Charity has taken advantage of the exemption afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. ¢1 Th8 charlty The charity comprises the Preservats'on Trust Fund and the Endowment Estste Fund, wh￿h are registered under one Charity number. dl Incoming resources Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement lo the fvnd5, any performance condit￿nS attached lo the item of income have been met, it is probable thal the incorne will be re￿Ved and the amount can be measured reliably.

Management are also required to exercise judgement in the process of apptying the company's accounb.ng policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are beli8ved to tse reasonable under tt)e circumstances. The ests'rnates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a materral adjustment to the carrying anv)unts of ass8ts and liabilicies within the next financial year are addressed telow. In preparlng these financlal statements, the dlrectors have made Ihe fc41owing judgements.. Loa8e8 Determine whether leases entered into by the charitable group elther as a lessor or 8 lessee are operating leases or finance leases. These decislons depend on an assessment of whether the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred from the lessor tc the lessee on a lease by lease basis based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangemenls, and accordingly whelher the lease requires an asset and liability lo be recognised in the statement of financial posilion. Impalmient of investment property The Charitable group reviews the carrying value of the investment proFerty for indicats'ons of impairment at exh penod end. If indicators of impairment exist, the Carrying value of the asset is Subl￿t to further testing to detemiine whether its Carrying value ex￿ed$ its recoverable amount. This process will usually involve the estimatlon of futu￿ cash flows whlch are likely to be generated by the asset. The followlng are the charltsble group's key sources of eStIma￿On un￿rtaInty.. Depreclatlon and rn81dual valu88 The Trustees have reviewed the asset lives and associated residual values of all fixed asset classes, and in particular. the useful economic life and residual values of fixtures and frtb'n9s, and have concluded that asset lives and residual values are appropriate. The actual lives of thè asséts and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of fxlors. In re-assessing as5el lives, factors such as technolojical innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programrnes are taken into account. ResNJual value assessments consKler issues such as future market conditions, the remainin9 life of the asset and projected disposal values. Investmfrnt propertloo The ¢haritable group engaged independent valuation specialists to determine fair valu8 at 31 March 2025. The valuer used a valuation lechnique based on a discounted cash flow model as there is a lack of Comparable market dats because of the nature of the property. The detemined fair value of Ihe investment property 1$ most sensitive lo the estimated yield as well as the long term v&ancy rate. Investment properties are professionally valued annually using a yield methodology. This uses market rental values c8Pitalised at a market Capitalisat￿n r8te but there is an inevitable degree of judgement invotv•d in that each propety is unique and value can only uttimalely be reliably tested in the market. 27 LAMPORT HALL PRESERVATION TRUST LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARY UNDERTAKINGS Not08 to the financial statoments for the year end•d 31 Mar¢h 2026 2.
