TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)

APPOINTMENT TRAINING AND RECRUITMENT OF TRUSTEES (continued)

All current trustees are ordinary members and no honorary members have been appointed. The organisation is run by the governors (directors) who are the trustees. Every trustee holds office until he/she shall die or attain the age of eighty or shall cease to hold office by virtue of Article 49 of the Articles of Association.

It is not currently the intention of the trustees of the Charity to appoint new trustees. Should the situation change in the future, the trustees will apply suitable recruitment and training procedures.

Employee and Trustee Remuneration

The charity has no staff other than the 4 trustees all of whom give freely of their time and expertise without any form of remuneration or other benefit in cash or kind (2024: £nil).

The charity did not meet any expenses (2024:£nil) incurred by the trustees for services provided to the charity.

GROUP STRUCTURE AND RELATIONSHIPS

The Charity holds the share capital of five subsidiary undertakings, namely Altena Estates Limited, Barryvale Limited, Fleetguild Limited, Hiltshore Limited and Mirette Investments Limited.

All the subsidiary holdings are engaged in property investment, except for Hiltshore Limited which is a dormant company, and their results are incorporated in the consolidated financial statements.

Details of the subsidiary undertakings may be found in note 18 to the financial statements.

RISK MANAGEMENT

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

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT AND POLICIES

The group holds or issues financial instruments in order to achieve three main objectives:

In addition, various financial instruments (e.g. debtors, creditors, prepayments and accruals) arise directly from the charity’s operations.

CREDIT RISK

The charity monitors credit risk closely and considers that its current policies of credit risk checks meet its objectives of managing exposure to credit risk. The charity has no significant concentrations of credit risk. Amounts shown in the balance sheet represent the maximum anticipated credit risk exposure. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

CHARITABLE OBJECTS

The charity is established for charitable purposes only and (without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing words) in particular to do, perform and carry out all or any of the following acts and things, namely:-

AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR PUBLIC BENEFIT

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidelines contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policies for the year. In doing so, the charity has complied with its duty to act for the public benefit in accordance with section 4 of The Charities Act 2011.

GRANT MAKING POLICY

This charity was established to support the activities of Jewish religious organisations, especially in the field of education and to provide philanthropic aid to the Jewish needy. Donations are made to organisations providing a sound religious education in accordance with the doctrines and principles of traditional Judaism and to institutions set up to provide aid to the Jewish needy, with a view to achieving the objects of the charity.

Gerson Berger Association Limited regularly supports charitable organisations and institutions both in respect of revenue expenditure and capital projects and there has been a continual call for funding for capital projects together with a concomitant need for increased revenue support.

Applications for grants are made in writing to the charity or in person to the Trustees by other UK registered charities. All donations above £10,000 require approval of all the Trustees and after making the necessary checks, proportional to the level of funding involved, donations are provided through bank transfer.

INVESTMENT POWERS AND POLICY

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit, provided that funds so utilised are not immediately required for use in connection with any of its objects. The trustees regularly review the charity’s position and needs in respect of the investment policy.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

STRATEGIC REPORT

The group invests in property portfolios and listed investments to generate income with which it makes grants, donations and loans to other charities and institutions that fall within the objectives of the charity.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The charity is dependent on the investment income generated by its subsidiary undertakings which have performed similarly to the prior year (see note 6 to the financial statements). £nil (2024: £nil) of donations and legacies were received in the current year from non-group companies, besides the Gift Aid payments from subsidiary companies which amounted to £2,730,928 (2024: £2,090,587). During the year under review £2,704,800 (2024: £2,052,800) was distributed in furtherance of the charity’s objectives.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The charity is dependent for its income on the commercial activities of its subsidiaries. During the year, gross income arising from the commercial activities of the subsidiaries was £4,799,339 (2024: £4,787,987).

The Charity holds the share capital of five subsidiary undertakings. All the subsidiary holdings are engaged in property investment, except for Hiltshore Limited which is a dormant company. The trustees consider their results for the year ended 30[th] June 2025 to be satisfactory.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (KPIs)

The Trustees monitor the Charity’s performance progress against its strategic objectives and the financial performance of its operations on a regular basis. Performance is assessed against the strategy and expectations using financial and non-financial measures. The most significant KPIs used by the charity are as follows:

2025 2024
£ £
Grants and donations paid out 2,704,800 2,052,800
Net rental income 2,676,793 2,959,539
Surplus on disposal of investment properties 74,100 1,206,140
Dividend income from listed investments 26,873 31,702
Investment property at fair value 47,240,181 45,912,959
Listed investments at fair value 439,668 453,038

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The charity plans on continuing the activities outlined above in the coming years subject to incoming resources being maintained at a satisfactory level.

RESERVES POLICY

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which the trustees think appropriate after considering the future commitments of the charity and the likely administrative costs of the charity for the next year. The free reserves of the charity, not including the subsidiary undertakings, are the current assets minus current liabilities. At the year end, the charity had a deficit in reserves (£2,883) (2024: (£17,524). The deficit has continued as a result of increased demands for charitable donations in the year and the Trustees are developing a route to ensure a return to positive free reserves.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GERSON BERGER ASSOCIATION LIMITED FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

OPINION

We have audited the financial statements of Gerson Berger Association Limited (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 30 June 2025 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), company statement of financial activities, consolidated statement of financial position, company balance sheet, consolidated statement of cash flows 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:

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

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:

Page 6

GERSON BERGER ASSOCIATION LIMITED (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GERSON BERGER ASSOCIATION LIMITED (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

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.

OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS 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 group 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 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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

GERSON BERGER ASSOCIATION LIMITED (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GERSON BERGER ASSOCIATION LIMITED (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

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 details below:

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.

AUDITOR’S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement 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 charity’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 charity’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 charity and the charity’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

1. GENERAL INFORMATIONS

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is New Burlington House, 1075 Finchley Road, London, NW11 0PU.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’, the 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) Bulletin 1, (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARATION

These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities.

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

GOING CONCERN

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

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. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Other than those stated in Note 30, there were no material judgements, estimates and assumptions that affected the accounts reported.

GOVERNANCE COSTS

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

TAXATION

The Charity is not liable to direct taxation (Income Tax) on its income which falls within the various exemptions available to registered charities. As a result, no deferred tax is provided on timing differences. The Charity is not registered for Value Added Tax (VAT) and is therefore unable to reclaim any input tax it suffers on its purchase. Expenditure in the accounts is therefore shown inclusive of VAT where appropriate.

The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period for the subsidiaries.

Current tax is recognised on taxable income or expenditure for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured as the amounts of tax expected to be paid or recovered using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

TAXATION (Continued)

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences at the reporting date. 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.

FUND ACCOUNTING

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity’s purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

INCOMING RESOURCES

All incoming resources are 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. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

RESOURCES EXPENDED

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

Page 16

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

RESOURCES EXPENDED (Continued)

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resources. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

TANGIBLE ASSETS

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to the extent it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

DEPRECIATION

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Plant and machinery

INVESTMENTS

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value.

If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.

INVESTMENT PROPERTY

Investment property is initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure.

Investment property is revalued to its fair value at each reporting date and any changes in fair value are recognised in income or expenditure.

If a reliable measure of fair value is no longer available without undue cost or effort for an item of investment property, it shall be transferred to tangible assets and treated as such until it is expected that fair value will be reliably measurable on an on-going basis.

IMPAIRMENT OF FIXED ASSETS

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Page 17 GERSON BERGER ASSOCIATION LIMITED (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

IMPAIRMENT OF FIXED ASSETS (Continued)

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

PROVISIONS

Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense.

Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in income or expenditure unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. When a provision is measured at the present value of the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in the statement of financial activities in the period it arises and is allocated to the appropriate expenditure heading.

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 amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, 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.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

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.

4. LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of a winding up is limited to £1.

30. 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. All the group’s properties are valued by the directors who have the appropriate expertise and experience.

(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.

(iii) Unlisted investments valuation

The valuation of the group’s unlisted investments is subjective, depending on many factors, including comparator dividend yields and net asset values, assumed rationale of prospective share purchasers, and the deemed impact of entity specific conditions on the aforementioned measures. Significant judgement is also required when selecting comparator companies to be included in the population from which expected yields and discounted net asset values are derived. Therefore, the valuation is subject to a degree of uncertainty and is made on the basis of assumptions which may not prove to be accurate, particularly in periods of difficult market or economic conditions.
