Report of the Trustees for the year ended 5 April 2021

The Trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the D G Marshall of Cambridge Trust (the “Trust”) for the 12 months ended 5 April 2021.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 5 April 2021

Structure, governance and management (continued)

The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the Trust 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 these risks.

The Trustees consider the key strategic, business and operational risks to be as follows;

Investment income risk

Risks associated with investment income relate to performance of the investee and income received from this investment. The Trust seeks to adopt a cautious and prudent investment stance to balance potential returns with appropriate levels of risk.

Liquidity risk

The liquidity of the Trust is taken into consideration by the Trustees, a proportion of assets are held in readily available assets such as cash, income bond and charity investment funds which are easily liquefiable and therefore have mitigated this risk.

Related Parties

The Trust has no employees. S J Moynihan is Company Secretary for Marshall of Cambridge (Holdings) Limited and many of its subsidiaries and director of Marshall Group Properties Limited and MGPH Limited. J A Ingham is an employee of Marshall of Cambridge (Holdings) Limited.

Marshall of Cambridge (Holdings) Limited donated £100,000 during the year (2020 - £100,000). There were no other donations during the year (2020 – £14,792).

Achievements and performance

The Trustees believe that the recipients and amounts of the donations made during the year are sufficient for the Trust to have achieved its objectives.

Training

Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

Financial performance

During the year, the Trust generated investment income of £69,458 (2020 - £47,884), generated a net gain of £330,554 (2020 loss - £140,385) from the revaluation to market value of traded investments and a net loss of £211,773 (2020 loss - £26,587) on the revaluation of non-traded investments to latest transaction price.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 5 April 2021

Financial performance (continued)

Donations received were £100,000 (2020 - £100,000) from Marshall of Cambridge (Holdings) Limited and £nil (2020 - £14,792) from other parties during the year.

The Trustees approved charitable donations amounting to £40,000 (2020 - £122,400) in accordance with the perceived aims and objectives of the Trust. The Trust’s activities are financed by its investments and the income derived there from.

The Trust has received free accounting and administration facilities from Marshall of Cambridge (Holdings) Limited in the year.

The Trustees currently do not foresee any changes to the operation, aims or objectives of the Trust.

Investment policy

There are no restrictions on the Trust’s power to invest. The investment strategy is set by the Trustees and takes into account the requirements to make donations as well as the need to maintain capital growth so as to ensure the Trust’s future abilities to fulfil its aims. The overall policy is for investment in low and medium risk financial instruments.

The weighting of investment is reviewed annually by the Trustees .As at 5 April 2021, approximately 6% (2020 - 4%) was invested in cash and 69% (2020 – 61%) in a balanced low to medium risk portfolio, managed by J M Finn.. The remaining 26% (2020 - 35%) of funds were invested in the preference and ordinary shares of Marshall of Cambridge (Holdings) Limited because they give a fixed annual return of between 8% and 10% and potential for capital growth respectively. The preference shares and non-voting priority ordinary shares can be sold on to anyone, at the discretion of the Trustees; the sale of the ordinary shares also requires the approval of the Directors of Marshall of Cambridge (Holdings) Limited.

Reserves policy, going concern and impact of COVID-19

It is the policy of the Trust to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the Trust, at a level which will generate sufficient annual income to cover expected annual donations and preserve the real value of the endowed funds. Funds were maintained at this level throughout the year and the Trustees intend to continue this in the future.

The onset and continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic has been considered. The two areas of potential impact are as follows:

Investment income – It is possible the pandemic will impact the level and frequency in which companies pay dividends. If this, happens the Trust would have less income to distribute and hence the level of donations would also be lower.

– Carrying values of investments Given the nature of the pandemic it is possible that it may impact the carrying value of investments. The Trustees closely monitor the

performance of the investment portfolio with the Trust ’ s advisor making changes if required.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 5 April 2021

Reserves policy and going concern (continued)

On the basis of the Trustees’ assessment of the Trust’s financial position, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the Trust’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice and the regulation made under s130 of the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of compliance

The Trust is a registered charity, registered on 17 March 1983. The Trust’s registered address is Airport House, The Airport, Newmarket Road, Cambridge, CB5 8RY.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act of 2011, United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)).

(b) Basis for preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the inclusion of investments at market value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the Trust’s functional currency.

As the charity is not a ‘Larger Charity’ as defined by the Charities SORP (FRS102); the entity has taken advantage in not preparing a Statement of Cash Flows.

Going Concern and impact of COVID-19

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. On the basis of their assessment of the Trust’s financial position and of the enquiries made of the Trustees, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

The onset and continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic has been considered. The two areas of potential impact are as follows:

Investment income – It is possible the pandemic will impact the level and frequency in which companies pay dividends. If this, happens the Trust would have less income to distribute and hence the level of donations would also be lower.

– Carrying values of investments Given the nature of the pandemic it is possible that it may impact the carrying value of investments. The Trustees closely monitor the performance of the investment portfolio with the Trust ’ s advisor making changes if required.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. The following judgement had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements:

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)

Valuation of non-listed investment

Non-listed investments are valued at either the latest price at which transactions between independent counterparties were completed or at an annual independent professional valuation.

(c) Investment income

Dividend income is received when the right to receive payment is established. Income from fixed interest securities and other interest receivable is included on an accruals basis.

(d) Incoming resources

All incoming resources are recognised once received.

(e) Resources expended

Expenditure is included on an accruals basis. Donations made are included within charitable activities and stamp duty on shares bought, legal fees and bank charges are included within other expenses. Management charges of investments and Independent Examiners Fee are disclosed separately. The Trust did not have any employees in the current or prior year.

(f) Donations made

Donations are recognised when a constructive obligation arises that result in the payment being an unavoidable commitment, at the date of approval by the Trustees.

(g) Value Added Tax

The Trust is unable to recover input tax and accordingly expenses are shown inclusive of Value Added Tax.

(h) Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially recognised at cost (less transaction expenses). Subsequently, the investments are measured at fair value through the Statement of Financial Activity. Listed fixed asset investments are included in the balance sheet at closing bid market value. Investments in the unlisted shares of Marshall of Cambridge (Holdings) Limited are valued at the latest transaction price. Any gain or loss on revaluation is taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.

(i) Financial Instruments

Debtors

Debtors are amounts receivable from investments. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as noncurrent assets. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
