In the yearended 31 March 2025 PHQ reported such a surplus of £393.00012024 as restated: £427,000> and on the same basis a surplus after taking account of restricted activities of £378.00012024 as restated-. £359,0001- Whilst there was a drop in wsitor related income this was offset to a large extent by an increas8 in rental income. SeNice charge income and expenditure was also greater than in 2024 due to renovation and preseryation projects. These are pass through costs from which no surplus is derived. Support expersditure has remained stable given the increase in income. REVIEW OF TRUST'S CLASSIFICATION AND VALUATION OF FIXED ASSETS In last year's financial statements a number of steps were taken to rationalise the Trust's approach to accounting for its fixed assets. TY40 key matters remained to be resolved. The Trustees continued to reviewthe presentation of its assets. In p8rticu18r there w8s concern about how the Trust's heritage assets were presented. The Trust has always accounted for the original donated assets at £Nil value. In 2008 it adopted FRS30 accounting foi heritage assets and continued to do so. On the implementation of FRS102 the costs associated with renovation and improvements were transferred to heritage assets from non-heritage assets and it was also noted that there was an inconsistent treatment ot an heritage asset of the same class in one of the Trust's subsidiaries. The review found that within heritage assets the costs capitalised did not meet the criteri8 which would reasonably be expected of such an asset-for instance new stairwells. air conditioning and other rnodernisation works. The review has concluded that this presentation could lead users of the financial statements to have the impression that the hertt8ge part of the asset had value. The Trustees wish to be completelytransp8rent in the way PHQ presents the value of its assets and have taken the decision to reanalyse assets previously classified as heritage as propety plant and equipment. There is no financial impact of this restatement to PHQ'S net assets and the transfer has been accounted for as a prior year adjustment. Moreover the Trustees considered that. due to the nature of its fixed assets and the obligations which the Trust faces as their custodian. whether they should considerthe need for an impairment review together with an alignment of depreciation rates on similar asset types. This was because the review found that. incrementally over many years. expenditure on refurbishment. repairs, improvements and augmentation h8d been e8Pitalised on various buildings. Although this was in accordance wrth FRS102 and its predecessor accounting PHQTRUSTEES'REPORT- FINANCIAL REVIEW 18
HQ standards the review found that this had resulted in a cumulative tot81 value which could be Ereater than the undeTlyingvalue of the assets in question. The Trustees therefore considered that there was sufficient evidence and indicators to require the need to test the assets for an impairment in value as at 31 March 2025. The alignment of depreciation rates resulted in the annual depreciation charge of £1.145.000 12024= É666.000) and is expected lo continue 8t a similar Tate in future years. The impairment test which was performed in accordance %•ath FRS102 value in use methodology resulted in a charge in the year of £4.750.000. The Trugt is currently undertaking its five year review of future maintenance requirements of its portfolio which might impact impairment levels in future years. FINANCIAL RESULT The unrestricted surplus forthe year was £631,00012024 as restated: £278.0001. There was a one-off benefit in the year of £299.000 as the deferred tax provision was released due to the remoteness of crystallisation. Once legacy project charges including increased depreciation and impairment charges are included PHQ reported a consolidated deficit of £5.227,00012024 as restated: deficit £1.212.000)- BALANCE SHEET In 2022 the net assets of PHQ were reported ot morethan £26.000.000. As a result ofthe research and reviews performed during2024 and 2025 theTrustees believe th8tthe 2025 presentation and valuation of those assets is significantly clearer and much more representative of their true value. In the year the net assets of PHQ h8ve been impacted by the review of PHQ'S heritage asset5 and Yre £17.332.000 at 31 March 202512024 as restated: £22,559.01)01. The reduction does not impact the cash position nor financial strength of PHQ. GOING CONCERN The linanci81 statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The Trustees have onsidered the level of funds held and expected income and expenditure for 12 months from the date these fin8nci81 statements were approved vthich show sufficient leve15 of funds for PHQ.

PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's Euidance on public benefit. POLICIESAND DISCLOSURES PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIESAND MANAGEMENT OF RISK A comprehensive risk register identifies each rigk and its likely impact on PHQ'S affairs. PHQ reviews its principal risks and the risk register on a quarterly basis through itg Finance and Resource Committee which advises the Board. The Trustees confirm that they have reviewed the major risks PHQfaces and thatsystems and procedures have been established to manage those risks where appropriate. PHQ_TRUSTEES, REPORT- STRUCTUREAND GOVERNANCE 23
The most significant risks identrfied for the forthcoming period reL8te to financial sustainability. and are summarised below. Stakeholder management: PHQ is one ofa numberoforganisationswhich reside and operate in HM Naval 8ase- these include the Royal NaY and major visitor attractions such as the National Museum ofihe Royal Na¥y andthe Mary Rose. All organisations are reliant onthetrust and co- operation of each other. PHQ, especially in the current uncertain environment. is in constant dialogue with these stakeholders to ensure that it can deliver on its objectives in a way which is positive to 811. Inflationary Pressures: The rising cost base. which cannot be fully passed on to visitors, presents a risk to financial stability. One third of PHQ income is derived from visitors. It monitors visitor numbers closely and rnakes appropriate adjustment to spend as required. Rent81 voids: Whilst many of PHQ'S tenants are on long term leases a proportion are on shorter term leases and licences to occupy. There is a risk in the current economic environment that void rates could increase. PHQ mrtigates this risk by reviewing outstanding rents closely and is in regular contact with all tenants. FUNDS POLICY PHQ sets aside funds to provide both financial stability and the fin8nci81 means by which it can deliver and develop its charitable activities. PHQ'S actmties from time to time include substantial investments in capital projects and restorative maintenance so the Trustees accept that the level of funds will significantly fluctuate year on year. Where funds are set aside for future ch8ritable actmties. whether capital or operational expenditure, PHQ classifies these as designated funds. The current designated funds represent funds set aside for budgeted projects duringthe current and next financi8lyear. PHQ intends to maintain unrestricted designated funds representing at least six months ot core cogts. These funds have been classified 8S the Protected fund and is currently set at £900.000 which is as intended. Unrestricted funds surplus to this amount are 8V8i18ble to either designate for future projects or spend in accordance with the annual budget. INVESTMENT POWERS AND POLICY PHQ delegates the day-to-day responsibilityfor its investment portfolio to its investment manager and has relied upon the experience and expertise ofthe investment manager to deliver a balaneed 8nd diversrfied porttoLioth8twU create an appropriate annual income and generate apital growth to meet the investment objective. PHQ'S investment m8nager is Cazenove C8PIt81. a member otthe Schroders Group and investments have been made in its managed Sustainable Multi-Asset Fund. PHQ has an investment policy approved bythe board which sets out how PHQ balances requirements tor cash reseNes. liquidity and investment returns against risk. The financial objective for the investment portlolio is to at least maintain the overall real value of its assets whilst not taking undue risk. PHQ'S ambition is to be at the forefront of responsible investment practice and believes that taking account of environmental. social and governance issues is 8n intrinsic part of being a good long-term investor. for both ethic81 and financial reasons.
