BURTON AGNES HALL PRESERVATION TRUST LIMITED REPORT OF THE GOVERNING BODY FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

Jazz Festival ticket income in 2025 totalled £66,778 (2024 - £ 71,640) of which expenditure incurred totalled £55,153 (2024 - £55,041), leaving a profit of £11,625 (2024 - £16,599).

Income from donations, legacies and grants increased from £27,050 to £38,498.

Investment income remained relatively stable at £103,259 (2024: £102,280). The main source of income is rents from farmland and cottages of £80,467 (2024: £80,113) and income from investments in the form of dividends and treasury interest of £22,792 (2024: £22,167).

Total income from gains and losses on investments was a net gain of £2,533 (2024 – Loss of £90,147) of which £36,907 (2024 – Gains of £98,326) was from realised losses on the investment portfolio and forward contracts. There was, however, an unrealised gain on the investment portfolio of £39,440 (2024 - £188,473 unrealised loss).

Costs of raising funds and opening and preserving the Hall and grounds have fallen to £785,682 (2024: £817,478). Significant areas of cost are:

Recruitment and appointment of Trustees

The Trustees have professional and/or commercial backgrounds with a range of complementary skills that are appropriate for the activities of the Trust. In the event of a particular skill being lost due to retirement, individuals are approached to offer themselves for appointment as Trustees.

Trustee induction and training

Most Trustees are familiar with the practical work of the Trust prior to appointment. Additionally, new Trustees are invited and encouraged to meet with the senior management team and fellow Trustees to familiarise themselves with the work and structure of the Charity and obligations of the Trustees. New Trustees are provided with a copy of the memorandum and articles of association of the Charity, the Charity’s conflicts of interest policy, the Charity Commission’s guidance on becoming a Charity Trustee (CC3a – The Essential Trustee: An introduction) and the Charity Commission’s guidance “Charities and Public Benefit: Summary Guidance for Charity Trustees”.

Details of organisational structure and how decisions are made

Strategic decisions are taken by the Governing Body, advised by management, which meets formally at least twice a year. In the intervening period, individually or collectively, the Trustees will be involved in decision making and/or advising management as necessary.

Public Benefit

We confirm that we have referred to the information contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives and planning future activities.

BURTON AGNES HALL PRESERVATION TRUST LIMITED REPORT OF THE GOVERNING BODY FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

Risk management and investment policy

The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks, which the Charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen the risks.

There are no restrictions on the Charity’s power to invest.

Reserves policy

The Charity’s reserves policy is to ensure that sufficient unrestricted reserves are maintained to enable the Charity to continue in the event that there is an unpredicted and / or significant drop in income levels. The Trustees consider that the current level of general reserves meets the requirements of this policy. As at 5 April 2025, consolidated free reserves amounted to £801,429 (2024 - £485,391) after excluding amounts invested in fixed assets and the charity’s investment portfolio, as detailed in note 19. The investment portfolio is held to generate funds to support the charitable activities of the organisation.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The Trustees (who form the Governing Body of Burton Agnes Hall Preservation Trust Limited and are also directors of the Charitable Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charitable Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charitable Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the Trustees are aware:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF BURTON AGNES HALL PRESERVATION TRUST LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Burton Agnes Hall Preservation Trust (the ‘Parent Charitable Company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’) for the year ended 5 April 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities (Including Income and Expenditure Account), the Consolidated and Charity Balance Sheets, the Consolidated and Charity Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group and parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material

misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees Annual Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement set out on Page 5, 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 misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Group’s and Parent 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 group or the Parent Charitable Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with those Acts.

Docusign Envelope ID: 535F0771-C572-49A7-A31A-EE8B3F3F2F60

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF BURTON AGNES HALL PRESERVATION TRUST LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, 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, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

We designed and executed procedures in line with our responsibilities to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. These procedures, together with the extent to which they are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, are detailed below:

We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.

Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed not least due to the following:

Docusign Envelope ID: 535F0771-C572-49A7-A31A-EE8B3F3F2F60

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF BURTON AGNES HALL PRESERVATION TRUST LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

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 instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the FRC's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members and its trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the Group is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

Incoming resources represents income receivable in the period, comprising admissions, donations, retail sales and catering income along with other income arising from the charity’s principal activities. Income from commercial activities is recognised as it is earned.

Investment income and income tax recovered on gift aid donations is recognised on a receivable basis.

Donations and legacy income is recognised where there is entitlement, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

1.3 Incoming resources (continued)

Income from the provision of charitable services and government and other grants is recognised at fair value when the Group has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.

1.4 Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:

1.5 Support cost allocation

Support costs are those that assist the work of the Charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, insurance, light and heat and advertising, governance costs and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

The analysis of these costs is included in note 8.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets other than freehold land are stated at cost or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Central heating equipment 10% per annum on cost Fixtures, fittings and café equipment 25% per annum reducing balance Motor vehicles 25% per annum on cost Car park 2% per annum on cost Playground Equipment 5% per annum on cost

Depreciation has not been charged on chattels, sculptures and paintings (except as above) as in the opinion of the Governing Body these assets are maintained in such a way that no diminution in value is expected to occur and any depreciation arising would be immaterial to the accounts. The car park is categorised within Freehold Property and Endowment Land.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

1.7 Investment Properties

Investment property is carried at fair value, derived from the current market prices for comparable real estate determined annually by the directors. The directors use observable market prices, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

1.8 Heritage assets

Heritage assets are defined as tangible property with historical, artistic, scientific, technological, geophysical or environmental qualities that is held and maintained principally for their contribution to knowledge and culture. The Trustees consider that the Burton Agnes Hall and certain other chattels, sculptures and paintings held for preservation to fall within this definition.

Heritage assets are recognised at cost or, where donated, at the estimated prevailing current market value at the time of donation. As permitted by SORP (FRS 102) the charity has chosen to subsequently account for heritage assets at historic cost subject to depreciation and impairment. The assets are depreciated to their estimated residual value over their estimated useful economic lives. Where the asset is deemed to have an indefinite economic life, the asset is not depreciated but is reviewed for impairment annually.

Certain heritage assets, including the hall itself and other chattels, artwork and sculptures that were donated to the charity several years ago, do not have a carrying value in the financial statements. The trustees consider that the cost of obtaining a valuation of these donated assets at the time of donation is not justified by the limited benefit arising.

Depreciation rates are given in note 1.6 above.

Expenditure that, in the Charity’s view, is required to preserve or prevent further deterioration of the asset is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as it is incurred.

1.9 Investments

Fixed asset investments are shown in the balance sheet at market value. Realised profit or losses on sales of investments and the difference between cost and market value of investments are shown on the statement of financial activities for the year.

1.10 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Net realisable value is based on selling price less anticipated costs to completion and selling costs.

1.11 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.12 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2025

1.13 Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

1.14 Financial Instruments

The Group only has financial instruments and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

1.15 Foreign currency translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are taken to Statement of Financial Activities.

1.16 Restricted funds

The funds which the Board consider to be restricted are not governed by separate Trust deeds or agreements. The uses to which the funds are put, however, conform to the spirit of the definition of a restricted fund.

1.17 Endowment Property Fund

Any endowment property accepted by the Trust and exempted from Capital Transfer Tax shall be applied solely to the upkeep of Burton Agnes Hall, the land used as the grounds of Burton Agnes Hall and any object ordinarily kept in Burton Agnes Hall.

1.18 Going Concern

The Trustees have considered the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements.

Details on the results for 2024/25 are given in the Report of the Governing Body. Visitor numbers, related admissions income and sales have continued to be strong since the year end.

The organisation benefits from the existence of reserves invested for the long term to provide financial security and sustainability. The Trustees have authorised use of a proportion of these reserves to support the charity’s finances, if required.

Having considered current activity levels and long term reserves, the Trustees have concluded that no material uncertainty in relation to going concern exists and have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

1.19 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Estimates and judgements 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.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

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.

Useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets

The annual depreciation charge for tangible fixed assets (excluding investment properties) is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually.

They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. The carrying value of tangible fixed assets is £2,213,463 (2024: £1,007,406) and the useful economic life of each category of fixed asset is set out in the accounting policies under section 1.6 above.

Investment properties

The carrying value of investment properties, which are required to be held at market value, are subject to significant estimation uncertainty since they are based on an assessment of current agricultural and property values. Note 12 sets out the assumptions used in valuing investment properties, and the year-end carrying value.

Investment properties principally comprise tenanted farmland from which the charity earns rental income, as well as a small number of residential properties.

The Directors’ estimate of the fair value of the investment properties is £6,220,983 (2024: £6,232,233). Tenanted farmland has been valued using estimates of current values per acre. Residential properties have been valued using an estimate of the resale value of similar local properties, where available. Factors impacting the estimate of fair value include macro-economic factors relating to farming, local and regional variances and changes in residential house prices.

In the opinion of the Directors, the estimate of fair value is reasonable, and no professional valuation has been commissioned.

The investment properties are categorised as endowed restricted funds, forming part of the original estate lands that were donated to the charity.

13. Heritage Assets

Heritage assets presented in note 12 comprise:

The Burton Agnes Hall (‘’the Hall’’): The Hall has no carrying value in the financial statements reflecting the estimated nil value of the properties donated to the charity at the date of donation. The Hall and certain other associated buildings within the grounds of the Hall, some of which are categorised within fixed assets as freehold properties, have a current combined insured replacement cost value of approximately £35m.

Various chattels, sculptures and paintings owned by the Charity and displayed within the Hall: These assets have been acquired by the Charity over a number of years and have a current carrying value in the financial statements of £406,180. These assets were originally recognised in the Charity’s financial statements at cost or, where donated, at estimated market value at the date of donation. Subsequently the assets have been accounted for using a historic cost method subject to depreciation and impairment. In the view of the Trustees all chattels, sculptures and paintings are carefully maintained and have an indefinite useful economic life and accordingly no depreciation has been applied in the current year. This basis is reviewed annually by the Trustees as part of an annual impairment review.

Further details regarding the accounting treatment of heritage assets are provided in the accounting policies.
