Going concern During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Charity introduced a smartphone App lo support the delivery of ils teaching programme while in-person courses were reslricled. With the lifting of restrictions, the impacts of COVID are no longer affecting operations, and both premier course facilities are running residential programmes as normal. The App continues to provide ongoing benefits, enhancing regularity of practice and engagement with follow-up programmes among existing practitioners. However, with the advent of significant inflation in the UK from March 2022, demand for TM remains sl around two-thirds of pre-COVID levels. In consequence, the Board and Trustees are reviewing the promotional strategy for 2025 with a much tighter targeting approach focused on the most successful locations. During the financial year, the Charity has undertaken significant cost-cutting reviews and exercises to streamline its cost base and ensure value-for-money across ils expenditure. This streamlined cost base has provided stronger financial foundation, allowing the Trustees to prepare forward plans and budgets that demonslrale the Charity's ability to continue ils operations, meet ils liabilities as they fall due, and progressively improve its reserves position. Detailed consideration is also given by the Trustees lo the Trust's liabilities, including commercial and other loans, to ensure that sufficient cash flow is maintsined to meet payment terms. The Trustees and management have prepared forecasts that indicate that the Charity and its subsidiary undertakings have sufficient resources to continue in operation and to meet their liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future, being a period of 12 months from the dale of approval of the Annual Report and financial slatemenls.

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 IFRS 1021 (effective 1 January 20191, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021 and the Charities Act 2011, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scollandl Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts Iscotlandl Regulations 2006 {as amended). The financial statements have been prepared lo give 8 'true and fair, view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the exlenl required to provide a 'true and fair view,.

The Trustees have onsidered the Charills financial position, forecasts, and cash flow projections for a period of al least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a smartphone App was introduced to support the delivery of leaching when in-person courses were restricted. With the removal of restrictions, the Charills facilities have resumed normal operations, and the App continues to enhan regularity of practice and engagement with follow-up programmes. Although demand for TM remains below pre-COVID levels, the Trustees and management have undertaken a comprehensive review of promotional strategy and a series of cost-cutling measures designed to streamline the cost base and ensure value-for-money. The resulting efficiencies have enabled the preparation of forward budgets and financial plans that demonstrate the Charills continuing ability lo meet its liabilities as they fall due, lo operate sustainably, and to strengthen its reserves position. The Trustees have also given detailed consideration lo the Trust's liabilities, including commercial and other loans, and are satisfied that sufficient cash flow will be maintained to meet payment terms. Accordingly, the Trustees consider it appropriate that the financial statements continue lo be prepared on a going concern basis. 2.3 Income All income is recognised once the charity has entillemenl to the income, il is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income re1vable can be measured reliably. The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entidement, the probability of receipt and the ability lo estimate with sufficient accuracy the amoLJnt receivable. Evidence of entillemenl to a legacy exists when the charity has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid wll and the death of the benefa¢lorl and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required lo satisfy claims in the estate. ReIpt of legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the charity, can be reliably measured. CoLJrse fees Income from course fees for teaching the Transcendental Meditation and Tm-sidhi Programmes and other courses is recognised by reference lo the course dale. Incomin resources Other incoming reSoUrS such as voluntary incoming resources are accounted for as and when entitlement arises, the amount can be reliably quantified and the economic benefit to the Charity is considered probable. Rental income Income reiVed for rental of properties is allocated on a receivable basis. Income tsx recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the lime the investment income is receivable. Page 22

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 aclivily. Direct costs altribulable to a single activity are allocated direcuy lo that activity. Shared costs which contribute lo 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 reSoUes. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of lime spent, and depreciation harges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the group to raise funds for its haritable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitsble trading. ExpenditLJre on charitable activities is incLJrred on directly undertaking the activities which further the group'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 lo conditions which have not been met al the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 2.5 Interest receivable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when re1vable and the amount can be measured reliably by the group,. this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 2.6 Grants The Trustees, policy is to award grants that support activities that are in accord with the objects of the Charity and restrictions imposed by the donors of the funds. 2.7 Taxation The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore il meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempl from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively lo charitable purposes.

Intangible assets are initially recognised al cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any ac¢umulated impairment losses. Amortisation is provided on intangible assets at rates calculated lo write off the cost of each asset on a slraight-line basis over ils expected useful life. The estimated useful lives are as follows.. Website costs 3 years 2.9 Tangiblg fixed ?$sgt$ and dgprgciation Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the revaluation model, tangible fixed assets whose fair value can be measured reliably shall be carried al a revalued amount, being their fair value al the dale of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity lo ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value al the end of the reporting date. Fair values are determined from market-based eviden by appraisal that is normally Ljndertaken by professionally qualified valuers. If there is no markel-based evidence of fair value because of the specialised nature of the tangible fixed asset and it is rarely sold, expt as part of a ¢onlributing business, a Charity may need lo estimate fair value using an income or depreciated replament cost approach. Gains and losses on revaluation are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, with a separate revaluation reserve being shown in the Statement of funds note. Depreciation is charged so as lo allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual valLJe over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is provided on the following bases: Freehold property Long-term leasehold property Plant and machinery 50 years Over the period of the lease Between 20 /0 and 50'/o Page 24

Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as 'GainsllLossesl on investments, in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities. Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment. 2.11 Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the selllement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 2.12 Cash at bank and in hand Cash al bank and in hand includes cash and short-temi 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. 2.13 Liabilities and provisions Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet dale as a result of a past event, il 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 wll pay lo sellle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payTnents for the goods or servi$ it must provide. Provisions are measured al 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 lo the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities as a finan cost. 2.14 Financial instruments The group only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial inslrumenls. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised al transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 2.15 Pensions The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the group lo the fund in respect of the year. Amounts not paid are shown in creditors as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds. Page 25

Designated funds Comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of ea¢h designated fund is sel out in the notes to the financial statements. The Trustees have a policy of donating a percentage of course fees to support the tradition from which the teaching of Transcendental Meditation and its related techniques are derived. Restricted funds are funds which are lo be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the group for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each reslricled fund is sel out in the notes to the financial stalemenls. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund. 2.17 Allocation of costs Direct charitable costs are incurred in fulfilling the charitable objectives of the Charity. Support costs of charitable activities include central management and administration costs, incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity. These costs are considered part of total expenditure relating to the objects of the Charity. Governance costs include costs incurred in the governance of the Charity and its assets and are primarily associated with conslitulional and statutory requirements. Costs of generating funds include costs incurred in order to raise income lo support the activities of the Charity and its subsidiary undertakings. Page 26

C2568F7t>7E13423D-AOO&A3C3DF09A530 MAHARISHI FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Critical accounting gstimatgs and areas of judgment In the application of the 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 estimates and underfying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered lo be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underfying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revisions affected current and future periods. The key SoUrS of eslimalion unrtaintY that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are summarised below.. The Maharishi Peace Palace is included in the financial statements al original cost. An impairment review has been undertaken comparing original cost lo value in use. Based on occupancy in 2019 a discounted future cashflow model supports the cost value included in the financial statements and no impaimient is deemed necessary. Fixed assets, inclLJding property, are depreciated to net residual value. In most cases this is nil. In the case of two properties that can or are used as residential properties, net residual value is considered to be higher than cost and on this basis no depreciation is charged. The investment in Ayurveda Limited has been reduced to £Nil in prior years as the subsidiary has now discontinued in operational existence. The investment by the Charity in Maharishi Education Centre Limited has been written down in value so that il does not exceed the net assets of the subsidiary undertaking. The impairment credit in the year amounting lo £20,57212023 - £Nill represents the profit for the year. The remaining impairment against the investment largely represents previous losses and accumulated depreciation on the Maharishi Peace Palace Page 27
