REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial Position
The financial position of the Charitable Company and its subsidiary is satisfactory. The Charitable Company’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities shows a net deficit of £90,117 (2024: £311,054 surplus) and total reserves of £7,286,714 (2024: £7,376,831).
Reserves Policy
The Reserves Policy of the Trustees is to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the Charitable Company, at a level they consider appropriate to the Charitable Company’s needs taking into account likely future requirements. A proportion of the reserves is held in readily realisable form to cover on-going grant-making activities and contingencies arising from additional calls made upon the Charitable Company for the support of organisations in times of need. The Charitable Company’s reserves are represented by unrestricted funds arising from past operating results. The Trustees are satisfied that the present balance of distributable reserves is sufficient to support anticipated expenditure.
Principal Funding Sources
The Charitable Company was principally funded in the year by donations received from its subsidiary undertaking and other related Companies.
Investment Policy and Objectives
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Charitable Company has the power to make any investment which the Trustees see fit provided any moneys are not immediately required for use in connection with any of its objects. The Charitable Company’s investment policy is to maximise its income and gains so that its charitable objectives be maintained and expanded.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The Trustees plan to continue making distributions in accordance with their grant-making policy and to ensure that the ability to generate sufficient income is maintained to achieve that end.
TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Trustees (who are also the directors of E & E Kernkraut Charities Limited for the purposes of Company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the 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 which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charitable Company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the Charitable Group for that period. 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 company and the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charitable Company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper 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. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charitable Company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF E & E KERNKRAUT CHARITIES LIMITED ( Continued )
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
OPINION
We have audited the financial statements of E & E Kernkraut Charities Limited (the 'parent charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Parent Charitable Company Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and the related notes, 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 FRS 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:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and the parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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 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’s or the 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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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:
-
the information given in the Trustees’ Report, which includes the Directors’ Report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the Directors’ report included within the Trustees’ Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors' Report included within the Trustees’ Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of Trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF E & E KERNKRAUT CHARITIES LIMITED ( Continued )
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement, the Trustees who are also the Directors of the parent 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 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
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.
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 of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the group through discussion with the management and identified which were most significant with respect to the financial statements. We identified Companies Act 2006 (including associated regulations), Charities Act 2011, Charities SORP (FRS 102), Financial Reporting Standard 102, Taxation Laws and Regulations, The Landlord and Tenant Act and Health & Safety Regulations as being most significant to these financial statements. We communicated these identified frameworks amongst our audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We ensured that the engagement team had sufficient competence and capability to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
We discussed with the management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with the legal and regulatory framework.
-
We assessed the susceptibility of the group’s financial statements to material misstatement due to noncompliance with legal and regulatory framework, including how fraud might occur, by enquiry with the management during the planning and finalisation stages of our audit and by using proprietary disclosure checklists. The susceptibility to such material misstatement was determined to be low.
-
Based on this understanding, we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with the identified legal and regulatory framework, which were part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. Our procedures included reviewing the group’s internal controls policies and procedures, reviewing the minutes of board meetings and correspondence with regulatory bodies including HM Revenue & Customs, testing transactions outside the normal course of the business and journal entries, and discussions with the management.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF E & E KERNKRAUT CHARITIES LIMITED ( Continued )
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ( Continued )
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
USE OF OUR REPORT
This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with chapter 3 of part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members 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 company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles appropriate to a going concern, as the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future by meeting its liabilities as they fall due, based on the net current asset position of the group and available sources of finance.
The Charitable Company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The presentational currency is UK Pound Sterling.
Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying 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 revision affects both current and future periods.
The valuation of investment properties is inherently subjective, depending on many factors, including the individual nature of each property, its location and expected future net rental values, market yields and comparable market transactions. Therefore the valuations are subject to a degree of uncertainty and are made on the basis of assumptions which may not prove to be accurate, particularly in periods of difficult market or economic conditions.
Income
All donations are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) of the Charitable Company when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. Donations represent voluntary amounts received during the year.
All other income is recognised on a receivable basis. This includes income from investments and deposits, rentals from property assets, and grants and donations received by the Charitable Company and Group.
Investment Management Costs
Investment management costs include costs relating to the investment properties on an accrual basis.
Governance Costs
Governance costs include costs of the preparation and audit of financial statements and cost of any legal advice to Trustees on governance or constitutional matters and is recognised on an accrual basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( Continued )
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash 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.
Liability Recognition
Creditors are recognised as soon as there is a present obligation committing the entity to pay out resources, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be measured or estimated reliably.
Fund Accounting
General unrestricted funds comprise the accumulated surplus or deficit on income and expenditure account. They are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity. Restricted funds are funds subject to specific restricted conditions imposed by donors. There are no restricted funds as at the Balance Sheet date. Designated funds are funds, which have been set-aside at the discretion of the Trustees for specific purposes. There are no designated funds as at the Balance Sheet date.
Group Financial Statements
These Financial Statements consolidate the results of the Charitable Company and its subsidiary on a lineby-line basis. A separate statement of financial activities or income and expenditure account dealing with the results of the Company only has not been presented in accordance with Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
Properties Held for Investment
Properties classified as investments are included in the Balance Sheet at fair value. Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
In accordance with the FRS 102, no depreciation or amortisation is provided in respect of freehold or longleasehold investment properties.
Acquisitions and Disposals of Properties
Acquisitions and disposals of properties are considered to take place at the date of legal completion and are included in the Financial Statements accordingly.
Financial Instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES ( Continued )
Taxation
The Charitable Company is not liable to direct taxation on its income as it falls within the various exemptions available to registered charities. The subsidiary undertaking is subject to Corporation Tax but it is expected that its income will be gifted for charitable purposes and should be exempt from taxation.
Notwithstanding the above, deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences present in the non-charitable subsidiary undertaking. Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
