TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (cont.)

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Related Party Transactions

All related party transactions have been disclosed in the consolidated financial statements.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The company is established to further those purposes both in the United Kingdom and abroad recognised as charitable by English Law particularly the advancement of education and religion in accordance with the Orthodox Jewish faith and the relief of poverty.

The charity receives income mainly from its investment properties, its subsidiary undertakings and by donations from persons and entities connected to the trustees which it utilises in the provision and distribution of grants and donations. The aim is to distribute these profits to organisations that fall within the objectives of the Charity. The Charity’s principal activity throughout the year was the provision and distribution of such grants and donations, and no change is envisaged in the immediate future.

The Charity is organised so that the trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs. The Charity does not employ any staff or use voluntary assistance. Administration of the Charity is dealt with by the trustees.

The Trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

During the year the Charity continued its philanthropic activities in support of religious, educational and other Charitable Institutions and the aggregate of donations made was £3,801,392 (2024: £3,199,028).

No change in activities is envisaged in the immediate future.

The financial results of the Charity and its Subsidiary Undertakings for the year ended 31 March 2025 are fully reflected in the attached financial statements together with the Notes thereon.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The financial position of the Charitable Company and its subsidiaries is satisfactory.

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities shows a net profit for the year of £1,761,403 (2024: £201,601) and total reserves at the period end of £48,453,940 (2024: £46,692,537).

Reserves Policy

It is the Charity’s policy to maintain sufficient reserves to ensure that it is in a position to continue its grantmaking activities and to cover contingencies of additional calls being made upon the Charity for support of organisations or institutions in times of need.

Consequently, the Trustees consider it appropriate to maintain ‘Free Reserves’ (unrestricted funds not committed or invested in Tangible Fixed Assets, Fixed Asset Investments or Loans to Subsidiary Undertakings) at a level which will not impinge on its ability to support Charitable Institutions.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Investment Policy

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Charity has the power to make investments which the Trustees consider appropriate. The Trustees seek investments which, over a medium term, are anticipated to generate a dependable flow of income coupled with capital growth.

The Trustees consider the return on investments, in terms of both income and capital growth, given the present market conditions within which the Charity operates, to be satisfactory.

Grant Making Policy

The Charity makes grants and donations to colleges and institutions for the advancement of religion and education and to institutions for the relief of poverty in accordance with the Charity’s objectives.

In making grants and donations, the Trustees use their personal knowledge of the institution, its representatives, operational efficiency and reputation. The Trustees monitor the application of the grants and donations by meeting with representatives of the Institutions and obtaining information as to the utilisation of funds.

Risk Management

The Trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finance of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage those risks.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

The Trustees plan to continue to make distributions in accordance with their grant making policy and ensure that the ability to generate sufficient income is maintained to achieve that end.

TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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 Group and Company and the income and expenditure of the Group for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees (directors) are required to:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

OPINION

We have audited the financial statements of Lonia Limited (the ‘parent company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated and Parent Company Balance Sheets, the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement 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 charity 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 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 annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. 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.

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE MEMBERS (cont.)

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

OPINION ON OTHER MATTER 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 the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in 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:

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors 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 and parent charity'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 charity 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:

frameworks amongst our audit team and remained alert to any indications of noncompliance throughout the audit. We ensured that the engagement team had sufficient competence and capability to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations.

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 noncompliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

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 parent charitable 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 charitable 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 charitable company and the charitable 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

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements have been prepared in compliance 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The Consolidated Financial Statements incorporate the results of the company and its subsidiaries for the year ended 31 March 2025. These are adjusted, where appropriate, to conform to group accounting policies.

The following accounting policies have been used consistently in the preparation of the Group's Financial Statements.

1.1 BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The financial statements have been prepared under the Historical Cost Convention, as modified by the inclusion of fixed asset investments at fair value, and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (“FRS 102”), the Companies Act 2006 and SORP 2015.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling (rounded to the nearest pound), which is the functional currency of the entity.

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.

Judgements made by the Trustees in the application of these accounting policies that have significant effect on the financial statements and estimates with a significant risk of material adjustment in the next year are discussed in Note 17.

The Company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

1.3 INCOMING RESOURCES

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured.

Income from donations or grants is recognised on receipt.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1.4 PROPERTY OUTGOINGS

Property outgoings are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are incurred.

1.5 GOVERNANCE COSTS

Governance costs include costs of the preparation and audit of financial statements and the cost of any legal advice to Trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

1.6 INVESTMENT GAINS AND LOSSES

This includes any gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gains or losses resulting from revaluing investments to fair value at the end of the year.

1.7 DEFERRED TAX

Deferred tax is provided on timing differences which arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements. The following timing differences are not provided for: differences between accumulated depreciation and tax allowances for the cost of a fixed asset if and when all conditions for retaining the tax allowances have been met. Deferred tax is not recognised on permanent differences arising because certain types of income or expense are non-taxable or are disallowable for tax or because certain tax charges or allowances are greater or smaller than the corresponding income or expense.

Deferred tax is provided in respect of the additional tax that will be paid or avoided on differences between the amount at which an asset (other than goodwill) or liability is recognised in a business combination and the corresponding amount that can be deducted or assessed for tax.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rate that is expected to apply to the reversal of the related difference, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

There are no deferred tax provisions for the parent Charity; it is exempt from tax due to its charitable status on the basis all income and gains will be applied solely for qualifying charitable purposes.

1.8 INVESTMENT PROPERTY

Investment properties are properties which are held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both. Investment properties are recognised initially at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition investment properties are held at fair value.

Investment property fair value is based on an open market valuation by the Trustees who have extensive experience in the field of property investment and valuation accumulated over a considerable period of time. Any gain or loss arising from a change in fair value is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and taken to Unrestricted Funds.

No depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties applying the fair value model.

1.9 DISPOSALS OF PROPERTIES

The Group generally holds its properties for the long term in order to generate rental income and capital appreciation although in the right circumstances any property could be available for sale. When an outright sale does occur the resulting surplus or deficit based on the excess or deficit of sales proceeds over or under valuation is included within the Group's profit on ordinary activities, and taxation applicable thereto is shown as part of the taxation charge. Disposals are recognised on the date the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred.

1.10 INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARY UNDERTAKINGS

Shareholdings acquired are initially recorded at cost and subsequently included at Trustees’ best estimate of fair value (in accordance with the SORP 2015) based on the net asset value. The net asset values of the subsidiary undertakings reflect fair values of their underlying properties held for investment; any surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in the SOFA and taken to Unrestricted Funds.

1.11 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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 entity after deducting all its financial liabilities.

The Charity has financial assets 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.

Rental and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate for a similar debt instrument.

Rent in advance and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate for a similar debt instrument.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose only of the cash flow statement.

1.12 LIABILITY RECOGNITION

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to pay out resources.

1.13 FUND ACCOUNTING

Unrestricted Funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and in accordance with relevant law.

17. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

(i) Property valuation

The valuation of the group’s property portfolio 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. As noted in Note 1.8 above, all the group’s properties are valued by the Trustees who have extensive experience in the field of property investment and valuation.

(ii) Trade debtors

Management uses details of the age of trade debtors and the status of any disputes together with external evidence of the credit status of the counterparty in making judgements concerning any need to impair the carrying values of these debtors.
