REPORTTO THE MEMBERS OF THE SPOORE, MERRY AND RIXMAN FOUNDATION (CONTINUEDI other information The other information comprises the infonnation included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors. Report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other infomiation 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 dete￿Ine 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 misststement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Matters on whlch we are requirod to roport by exceptlon We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion. the information given in the Trustees, Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements," or sufficient accounting records have not been kept", or the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and retums" or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

THE SPOORE, MERRY AND RIXMAN FOUNDATION INDEPENDENT AUDITORS. REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SPOORE, MERRY AND RIXMAN FOUNDATION (CONTINUED) Auditors. responsibilities for the audlt of th6 financlal statemènts We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 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 Auditors, 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 thèse financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design prO￿dureS 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: enquiring of management con￿mIng actual and potential litigation and claims; 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 for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.or .uklauditorsres onsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors, Report. Page 7

THE SPOORE, MERRY AND RIXMAN FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 Accounting polici08 1.1 Basis of praparation of financial statements The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP {FRS 102) 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 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of I￿land (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair, view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practi￿ effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. The Spoore, Merry and Rixman Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilits'es are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless othemise stated in the relevant accounting policy. The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis and under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. 1.2 Income All income is recognised once the Charity has entilement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income re￿1vable can be measured reliably. The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Eviden￿ of entitlement to a legacy exists when the Charity has sufficient eviden￿ that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the property in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the Charity, can be reliably measured. Income recieved from listed securities is recognised on the remittance basis. Rental income is recognised on the accruals basis. Page 12

THE SPOORE, MERRY AND RIXMAN FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 Accounting policies (continued) 1.3 Expenditure Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third paty, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned be￿een those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use. Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading. Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives. as well as any associated support costs. Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as commitment. but not accrued as expenditure. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 1A Interest roceivable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity,. this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 1.5 Cash Flow The financial statements do not include a Cash Flow statement because the charity, as a small reporting entitiy, is exempt from the requirement to prepare such a statement under the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FSR 102) and Charities Act 2011 . 1.6 Tangiblg fixod assets and depreciatlon Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Depreciation is provided on the following basis.. Office equipment Computer equipment 33°/o Straight line 20°/o Straight line Page 13

THE SPOORE, MERRY AND RIXMAN FOUNDATION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 Accounting policies (continu•d) 1.7 Investments Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impaiment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as 'Gainsl(Losses) on investments, in the Statement of Financial Activities. 1.8 Debtors Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 1.9 Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturtty of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 1.10 Llabllltles and provisions Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement. and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finan￿ cost. 1.11 Financial instruments The Charity only 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 1.12 Fund accounting General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund. Page 14
