THE HENRY BARBER TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022

The Trustees present their annual report, together with the audited financial statements of The Henry Barber Trust for the year ended 31 July 2022.

Objectives and aims

a. Policies and objectives

The Charity is for charitable educational purposes at the University of Birmingham and its principal objects are:

Under the terms of the Deed of Settlement:

The Barber Institute building, which was opened by Queen Mary in 1939, was built under the terms of the Deed of Settlement using funds provided by the Charity on land owned by the University of Birmingham . Accordingly the Barber Institute building is owned by the University of Birmingham.

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

b. Significant activities

The activities funded by the Charity are recorded in the financial statements under three headings

The operations of the Barber Institute include work carried out through a separate University of Birmingham budget centre, the Barber Institute Budget Centre (BIBC), music activities and the Barber Fine Art Library .

Objectives and aims (continued)

c. Public benefit

The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity's aims and objectives are for the public benefit. The Trustees confirm that they have referred to guidance published by the Charity Commission, including that on public benefit, when reviewing their aims and objectives and when setting grant making policy. All the Charity's activities are in support of the University of Birmingham, which is a body which itself benefits sections of the public and the public as a whole.

All the funds given by the Charity to the Barber Institute were used by the University of Birmingham for the benefit of the public by:

Visitor numbers to the galleries recovered well as the restrictions of the previous year were relaxed or removed. Barber Institute staff continued with a hybrid offer, but with more and a greater variety of activities back on site during this period. As a result, there were:

The Trustees are committed to extending public access to the Charity’s collections beyond the Barber galleries and lend works to scholarly exhibitions, both nationally and internationally, thus substantially increasing the number of people who are able to benefit. During the year under review, the number of loans of works to exhibitions increased over the previous year, which had been badly affected by the pandemic:

Although, for a second year, it was not possible for any performances to be held in the Barber concert hall because of a lack of ventilation, the Barber lunchtime and evening concert series were performed instead in the Elgar Concert Hall in the Bramall Music Building. Audience figures recovered reasonably well and should again reach pre-pandemic levels over the next few years. As part of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, Barber Concerts and University Music combined to become the single largest contributor to musical events in the Birmingham 2022 Festival. This made it possible to reach new audiences via two Barber concerts which tackled the issues of colonialism, slavery and black artist representation, and an orchestral and choral performance in the Town Hall, featuring composers, choirs and bands with local and University connections. This Commonwealth programme, entitled Musical Heritage and the City was very positively received and increased awareness of the University’s rich and varied musical offer.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022

During the year under review, the Charity funded:

All these events were available to members of the public, many free of charge. The total audience for all musical activities funded by the Charity during the year was 3,992 (2021: 4,604).

The library material both for fine arts and for music and the musical instruments purchased by the Charity during the year were all available for use by students of the University.

d. Grant making

The Charity's resources are applied in accordance with the Deed of Settlement for the broad benefit of the University of Birmingham, as set out in more detail above under the heading of objectives and aims. The majority of this expenditure is made in the form of grants which are paid annually to the University of Birmingham; although part of which may be accumulated where the cost of a particular project exceeds the annual grant. All recurring grants are subject to regular review. The Trustees may also receive requests for funding from the University of Birmingham on an ad hoc basis and these are assessed in the context of the objectives set out in the Deed of Settlement and the Charity's available financial resources.

Achievements and performance

a. Charitable activities

Government measures in response to COVID-19 abated over year under review and the country gradually returned to normal. The effect on the activities funded by the Charity was therefore less marked than in the previous year as the Barber Institute remained open, albeit with some restrictions over the winter months. For a second year, however, there were no public performances in the Barber concert hall, because the University determined that the lack of ventilation prevented its use as a performance space. Consequently, the Barber concert series moved temporarily to the Bramall Music Building and an alternative venue was found for the performance of the contemporary opera, Raising Icarus , which gave rise to significant additional costs. For a second year, the Trustees were unable to fulfil one of the key objects contained in the Charity’s Deed of Settlement, namely the provision of musical performances in the Barber concert hall.

During the year under review, the Charity provided financial support amounting to £1,686,462 (2021: £1,337,681) to the University of Birmingham and acquired fourteen (2021: one) works of art for display in the Barber Institute galleries, in accordance with the objects set out in its Deed of Settlement. The total value of the acquisitions and costs associated with these amounted to £344,800 (2021: £47,831). The total sum spent during the year on the Charity’s objects was £2,094,226 (2021: £1,444,188).

The funding provided to the University of Birmingham included:

b. Professorial chairs and prizes

As in previous years, the Charity increased by 2% its annual contribution towards the gross salary costs of the professorial chairs of Law, Jurisprudence and Music, and, whilst the professorial chair of Fine Arts remains vacant, towards the salary of the Director of the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, through annuities 1-4 under clause 4 of the Deed of Settlement and the supplementary payment. The same increase was applied to the various scholarships and prizes set out in the Deed of Settlement. In total, £438,200 was provided (2021: £429,600). Of this, £14,700 (2021: £14,412) was reallocated by the University to cover general costs within the Barber Institute Budget Centre (BIBC).

c. Barber Institute operations

The Barber Institute remained open for the entire year under review, with only a period during the winter months where there were some additional precautionary measures. As a result, activities at the Barber were close to levels seen before the pandemic.

The Charity provided a total of £977,020 in grants to the BIBC during the year (2021: £873,861) which represented 77% of the BIBC’s total income of £1,276,151 (2021: 78% of £1,222,356). This figure comprised the Charity’s annual recurring grant to the BIBC, which was increased by 2% to £705,300, the annuities and supplementary payment relating to Fine Arts mentioned above, and additional financial support for exhibitions, conservation and the development of the collections, totalling £155,622, further details of which are given below:

The Charity contributed:

THE HENRY BARBER TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022

In additional, £4,666 was allocated from the legacy of the late Dr Martin Purdy to cover the costs of the Barber Health Co-ordinator.

During the year, the Charity spent a total of £452,515 (2021: £220,433) on musical activities. This figure comprised the annuities and supplement relating to Music mentioned earlier in this review, a contribution towards the costs of the post of Head of University Music & Concerts and financial support for the Barber evening and lunchtime series, the Barber and contemporary operas and a number of other musical events and activities. Further details are given below.

Many of the concerts were rescheduled events originally planned for 2020/21, with the notable exception of a performance by the Chineke! Ensemble to mark the retirement of the Vice Chancellor (and one of the Charity’s Trustees) at the end of December 2021. Amongst the other many and varied performances from international and British artists were those by violinist, Randall Goosby, saxophonist, Naomi Sullivan, pianist, Kumi Matsuo, accordionist Samuele Telari, and pianist Alexandra Dariescu, the latter performing as part of the Birmingham International Piano Festival. A total of £102,941 was provided by the Charity to cover the costs of nineteen Barber lunchtime concerts, six Barber evening concerts and a family concert, which was part of the Birmingham International Piano Festival. The contemporary opera, Raising Icarus , by the University’s Professor of Composition, Michael Zev Gordon, was finally performed in April 2022 to general acclaim, after several delays and with a significant increase in costs because of the pandemic. The Charity funded the work, providing £159,869 in the year under review and a further £15,166 over the previous three financial years. In addition,

As a consequence of the need to find alternative venues for Charity-funded musical activities, the Trustees agreed that the unspent portion of the concerts and student opera grants may be carried forward into the next financial year when it will be used to cover the significant additional costs which will be involved in hiring performance space.

During the year under review, the Charity provided £45,116 in support of the Barber Fine Art Library, which covered a contribution towards the salary costs of the Senior Learning Adviser; and a grant of £24,324 for the purchase of fine art books and catalogues.

e. Listed investment performance

The events of recent years had served to highlight further the vulnerabilities of the Charity’s income-biased portfolio, which prevented the investment manager from accessing a broader set of asset classes to ensure a more balanced, diversified and therefore more resilient, portfolio. The Trustees’ decision to remove the restriction on spending capital from the Deed of Settlement to enable them to adopt a total return approach for the Charity’s assets took effect from 8 October 2021. This allowed the Trustees to meet their spending requirements from both income and capital through a more flexible and diversified approach to the management of the portfolio. As part of this new approach, the investment portfolio moved into Cazenove’s Responsible Multi Asset Fund (RMAF), a total return strategy specifically for charities with an integrated responsible investment policy. The RMAF strategy targets CPI +4% over the medium to long term. The transition from a segregated portfolio to the new fund took place over a number of months to permit phased moves across the asset classes to manage dividend flows.

The Charity’s portfolio generated a total return of 11.4% (2020/21: 28.2%) compared with the benchmark’s return of 14.5% (2020/21: 19.4%). Over three and five years, the portfolio returned 6.5% pa and 6.1% pa (2020/21: 2.7% pa and 6.4% pa) compared with the benchmark’s return of 8.5% p.a. and 7.6% pa (2020/21: 3.8% pa and 6.1% pa), respectively. The benchmark is CPI +4% for 2021/22 returns.

Over the period, risk assets recorded positive returns, albeit with heightened volatility. The invasion of Ukraine, concerns over the outlook for rising inflation and tightening monetary policy, all conspired to unsettle markets. Over the twelve-month period, equity markets achieved positive returns, but performance from risk and nominal assets has been negative since the start of 2022. There was a disparity of performance across sectors, with energy achieving strong returns given the strength in the oil price. Growth stocks were also weaker over the past six months given the deteriorating outlook for inflation and interest rates. Fixed income assets were notably weak over the period given the prospect for increasing rates across global economies.

Inflation levels increased significantly over the past year and the performance of the portfolio did not therefore achieve its target. Cazenove expects an inflation +4% target will remain challenging in the short term, but over the long term it would expect to meet this target as inflation levels begin to normalise with the impact of tighter monetary policy.

f. Investment property performance

The majority of tenants displayed resilience as they sought to recover from several years of economic disruption and continuing restrictions which prevented normal life from returning in full. Negotiations on arrears which had accumulated throughout 2020 and 2021 were concluded with one tenant with a repayment of the debt, bar six months’ rent (£8,750), which was written off. An agreement has yet to be reached with the second tenant, however, although negotiations continue; a provision for £29,350 remained in place in recognition of this. The newly created flats on the upper floors at 5-7 Upper Brook Street, Rugeley were let throughout the year, although the recently redeveloped rooms at 547-549 Bristol Road remained empty throughout the year because of problems with access to the property due to COVID-19 restrictions at the beginning of the academic year. The sale of 57 St Andrew’s Crescent, Stratford-upon-Avon, was completed during the year for £520,000 gross.

Gross rental income rose by 1.5% (2021: 11.1%) from £351,177 to £356,337 as the new income stream from the flats at 5-7 Upper Brook Street, Rugeley was offset by the lack of income from the rooms on the upper floors at 547-549 Bristol Road. The latter have now been let from the end of July 2022 for a year. Total costs associated with the properties amounted to £89,800, against which were set rebates for VAT and rates of £27,558 and £12,126, respectively, and a service charge refund of £10,845, giving a net figure of £39,271. This was a decrease of 62% (2021: 120.4%) over the previous year’s figure of £103,955, which had included much of the cost of the redevelopment of 5-7 Upper Brook Street, Rugeley. This year’s figures returned to a more normal level, following completion of both redevelopment projects.

An interim valuation was carried out as at 31 July 2022 to reflect a number of changes to the portfolio. Pennycuick Collins was of the opinion that the valuation of 1A Upper Brook Street, Rugeley and 12-14 Campbell Place, Stokeon-Trent had decreased by £25,000 and £30,000, respectively, due to the low rentals achieved during the year. Conversely, the increases in rent achieved at 533 Bristol Road and the inclusion of the rents on the flats at 5-7 Upper Brook Street, Rugeley led to a valuation increase of £60,000, in respect of each. The net effect, once the sale of 57 St Andrew’s Crescent had been taken into account, was a decrease of £455,000 or 9.7% (2021: 6.5%) in the value of the investment property portfolio from £4,679,000 to £4,224,000.

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

b. Reserves policy

The Charity aims to maintain reserves on the General Fund of at least £500,000 in order to meet any unforeseen expenditure and to enable it to meet its funding commitments, regardless of an uneven income stream. At the year-end, a balance of £2,123,688 was held on the General Fund.

Moneys from the General Fund are allocated to various designated funds for specific future purposes or projects. At the year-end, a balance of £363,619 was held on the Exhibition Reserve Fund for the Barber Institute’s forthcoming exhibitions programme. At the year-end, a balance of £26,260 was held on the Coin Database Reserve Fund for the continuing maintenance of the Charity’s database of coins. At the year-end, a balance of £64,051 was held on the Major Conservation Reserve Fund for the continuing programme of conservation of works of art. At the year-end, a balance of £483,021 was held on the Galleries’ Refurbishment Reserve Fund for building works and other capital projects in the Barber Institute building, as well as for the purchase of items associated with the galleries.

Moneys from the General Fund are also used to fund major acquisitions of works of art. As it is not possible to predict when a work of art suitable for acquisition might become available, and major acquisitions are, by their nature, expensive, the Trustees believe that it is necessary to maintain a substantial balance of moneys on the General Fund where possible.

The designated Works of Art Fund is to cover discretionary purchases of works of art made by the Director and to enable the Charity to accumulate funds to make such acquisitions. At the year-end, a balance of £78,402 was held on the designated Works of Art Fund for the purchase of works of art at the discretion of the Director.

At the year-end, a balance of £35,273 was held on the Barber Institute Operations Fund for expenditure in connection with the activities of the Barber Institute. At the year-end, a balance of £13,460 was held on the Music Fund for musical activities at the Barber Institute.

In order to make provision for the cost of dilapidations and improvements on the Charity’s investment property, £20,000 per annum is transferred to the Investment Property Sinking Fund. At the year-end, the balance of £122,968 was held on the Investment Property Sinking Fund after the transfer of £233,850 from capital to cover the element of improvement to 5-7 Upper Brook Street, Rugeley, following the redevelopment of the upper floors into four flats.

c. Financial position and principal funding sources

The Trustees are satisfied with the financial state of affairs of the Charity. The Charity’s principal source of funding is its Unrestricted Investment Fund; comprising listed investments, approximately 89.9% by value, together with a significant proportion held in investment properties, approximately 7.8% by value, with the balance in cash deposits, approximately 2.3.% by value.

The Charity does not actively raise funds from the public; but the Trustees are grateful for the donations, grants and gifts-in-kind the Charity receives.

THE HENRY BARBER TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022

d. Investment policy and objectives

The Charity's investment policy is to seek real growth in income on an annual basis whilst preserving real capital value. Under the provisions of the Trustees Act 2000 the Charity has a general power of investment enabling it, subject to an overriding duty of care, to invest as widely and freely as though the moneys were the Trustees' own.

e. Principal risks and uncertainties

Having recently removed the restriction on spending capital in order to allow a total return approach to investment, the Trustees consider that the generation of incoming resources is within their control and they have in place strategies to manage risks associated with the investments under their control. The Trustees ensure that the Charity's grants are spent on activities in accordance with the Charity's objects whilst recognising that the realisation of the majority of these activities is largely outside the Trustees' control: being the responsibility of the University of Birmingham. Security of the Charity's collections is of paramount importance to the Trustees. Whilst remaining the responsibility of the Trustees, the arrangements for the conservation and security of the Charity's collections have been delegated to the University of Birmingham; which owns the buildings in which the collections are housed and employs the staff who work in them. The Trustees' security policy, reinforced by the Trustees in their discussions with the University of Birmingham and its staff, requires the University of Birmingham to provide security arrangements of the highest standard.

f. Future plans

The University has committed £10m in its capital programme to the Barber Institute building and it is hoped that some of this money will be used to provide a permanent resolution to the lack of ventilation in the Barber concert hall so that the Barber concert series can resume in that performance space. The Trustees have expressed their willingness to contribute towards the costs of any solution.

The Trustees agreed to increase the Charity’s funding to the University by 2% in 2022/23 in the following areas:

The funding level for future years will be reviewed by the Trustees in March 2023. The Charity will also continue to provide grants to the various rolling funds for expenditure relating to the collections and the galleries. Plans for the exhibitions programme in the next financial year include a show entitled Peasants and Proverbs: Pieter Brueghel the Younger as Moralist and Entrepreneur , which will focus on his painting in the Barber collection, Two Peasants Binding Firewood.

The recent picture survey identified a number of works which require treatment over the next few years, whilst the significant work required on the statue of George I is likely to take place during the next year.

Now that the majority of the coin collection has been catalogued, funds are likely to be spent on the services of professional specialists to catalogue the remaining, more obscure sections.

Music will continue to receive the usual financial support through the Charity’s regular funding. Twenty-one Barber lunchtime concerts and six Barber evening concerts have been scheduled for 2022/23 and include the partnerships with BBC Radio 3, Oxford Lieder and the Presteigne Festival. Four recordings of the Barber lunchtime series will be broadcast as part of the BBC’s Lunchtime Concerts programming featuring its New Generation Artists. Performers in the Barber evening concert series will include the vocal ensemble, Cinquecento, the Belcea Quartet and the pianist, Isata Kanneh-Mason.

Funding will continue for the next Barber opera, Alessandro Stradella’s La forza dell’amor paterno, which will be performed in April 2023.

The Charity’s regular financial support for the Barber Fine Art Library will also continue through its contribution to the post of the Senior Learning Adviser and through its grant for fine art library material.

THE HENRY BARBER TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

The Henry Barber Trust was established by a Deed of Settlement executed by Lady Barber on 13 December 1932 in memory of her late husband, Sir Henry Barber Bt, a life-governor of the University of Birmingham. The Charity is controlled by its governing document, the Deed of Settlement as amended by several Charity Commission schemes and Trustees’ resolutions, and constitutes an unincorporated Charity.

The Trustees are an incorporated body under the Charities Act 2011 known as The Trustees of The Barber Institute of Fine Arts Registered. The Trustees were incorporated as a body on 13 November 1952; originally under the now repealed Charitable Trustees Incorporation Act 1872.

b. Recruitment and appointment of new Trustees

Trustees are nominated by members of the Board of Trustees and appointed where they have the necessary skills and experience to contribute to the management of the Charity or have particular expertise to contribute to the Charity's development. The written consent of the University of Birmingham to the appointment of each Trustee must be obtained. Prior to appointment, nominated Trustees are required to sign a declaration of eligibility and to disclose all relevant interests. The Deed of Settlement requires that there shall be no fewer than three and no more than nine trustees at any one time, and at least one but no more than three of the Trustees shall at any one time be members of the council or staff of the University of Birmingham.

c. Organisational structure and decision making

The Charity is managed by a Board of Trustees. A Secretary to the Trustees is appointed by the Board of Trustees to administer the day-to-day operations of the Charity. The Secretary to the Trustees maintains a register of Trustees' interests and, in accordance with the Charity's policy, Trustees are required to withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises.

d. Induction and training of new Trustees

Upon appointment new Trustees are provided with a copy of the Charity's Deed of Settlement, the most recent report of the Trustees and audited financial statements, the most recent management accounts and copies of the previous three years' minutes of Trustees' meetings. Recent appointees have all been familiar with the duties of a Trustee but the Charity would organise attendance on a suitable course if necessary.

e. Key management remuneration

The Deed of Settlement provides that each Trustee shall receive an annuity of £100 for his or her services. Under the terms of a Charity Commission scheme dated 20 January 2006, this annuity is indexed. Annuities amounting to £14,897 (2021: £14,617) were paid to six (2021: six) Trustees for their contribution to the work of the Charity. Professor Sir David Eastwood and Professor Adam Tickell have waived their entitlement to receive an annuity.

Staff salaries of £76,576 (2021: £74,397), including pension contributions of £8,576 (2021: £8,356) were paid in respect of two (2021: two) people who worked part-time on the management and administration of the Charity. The remuneration of the Secretary to the Trustees is determined by the Trustees with reference to market rates of pay for equivalent posts.

f. Related party relationships

The Charity has close links with the University of Birmingham. The written consent of the University of Birmingham to the appointment of each Trustee must be obtained. At least one but not more than three of the Trustees shall at any time be members of the council or staff of the University of Birmingham.

TPIC (Birmingham) Limited is the Charity's wholly-owned dormant subsidiary undertaking.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022

Structure, governance and management (continued)

g. Risk management

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure that appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, particularly those related to the activities and finances of the Charity, and they are satisfied that systems are in place to manage the Charity’s exposure to the major risks. The Trustees continue to consider that the principal risks which face the Charity relate to the security of its collections and its income-producing assets, and, whilst the Barber concert hall is out of use, their inability to fulfil one of the principal objects of the Deed of Settlement, namely the funding of musical performances in the Barber concert hall. With regard to the security of the collections, the Trustees have, of necessity, delegated all aspects of this to the University of Birmingham, whilst emphasising that it must be given the highest priority. Funds are made available to the University to ensure that security measures are maintained to the highest standards. Discussions are also underway with the University to ensure that the condition of the Barber Institute building is maintained so as not to pose a threat to the security of the collections and to resolve the problem of a lack of ventilation in the Barber concert hall. The University has committed £10m to the Barber Institute building in the next phase of its capital plan. The Trustees have appointed an investment manager and a property manager to manage the Charity’s income-producing assets. The performance of these managers is kept under careful and regular review, as is the performance of the assets, in order to ensure that they are being properly managed and are performing well.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Deed of Settlement. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

THE HENRY BARBER TRUST

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HENRY BARBER TRUST

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Henry Barber Trust (the 'Charity') for the year ended 31 July 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the 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 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 Charity'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 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 determine 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 misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HENRY BARBER TRUST (CONTINUED)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

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:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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.

THE HENRY BARBER TRUST

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE HENRY BARBER TRUST (CONTINUED)

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 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 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:

Our assessment focussed on key laws and regulations the Charity has to comply with and areas of the financial statements we assessed as being more susceptible to misstatement. These key laws and regulations included but were not limited to compliance with the Charities Act 2011, Charities (Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016, taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery and employment legislation.

We are not responsible for preventing irregularities. Our approach to detecting irregularities included, but was not limited to, the following:

Whilst considering how our audit work addressed the detection of irregularities, we also considered the likelihood of detection based on our approach. Irregularities arising from fraud are inherently more difficult to detect than those arising from error.

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.orq.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's Report.

THE HENRY BARBER TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation 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 Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The Henry Barber Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

The results of the Charity and its wholly-owned subsidiary, TPIC (Birmingham) Limited, are not consolidated on a line for line basis. TPIC (Birmingham) Limited is a dormant Company. Under these circumstances the Trustees consider the results of the subsidiary undertaking are not material to the group and the preparation of consolidated financial statements is inappropriate to the better understanding of the Charity.

1.2 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Dividend income is included by reference to the payment date of the dividend. Items donated to the Charity's collections are included at market value at the time of receipt.

Page 24

����������������������������������������������������������

THE HENRY BARBER TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.3 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 raising funds comprise those costs directly attributable to managing the Charity’s fixed asset investments, including investment property; together with an allocation of governance support costs based on an estimate of time devoted to this activity of 25%, and an allocation of administration support costs based on an estimate of time devoted to this activity of 55%. The latter has been increased from 10% on review to reflect the situation more accurately.

Administration support costs in connection with charitable activities comprise the costs of processing annuities and grants to the University of Birmingham, supporting activities within the Barber Institute, particularly in the area of music, and ancillary costs associated with the Charity’s collections. Administration support costs are allocated between the Charity’s activities on the basis of time devoted to each activity: professorial chairs and prizes 2%, Barber Institute operations 40% and collections 3%.

Governance support costs comprise those costs directly attributable to organisational administration and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and are allocated between the Charity’s activities and costs of raising funds on the basis of time devoted to each activity: professorial chairs and prizes 25%, Barber Institute operations 25% collections 25% and costs of raising funds 25%.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity in connection with the costs of maintaining its investments and subsequent income.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity’s objects, as well as any associated support costs.

Annuities and grants awarded to the University of Birmingham are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when approved by the Trustees and agreed with the University. The value of grants unpaid at the year-end is accrued. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year-end date are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

1.4 Taxation

The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable entity for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

����������������������������������������������������������

THE HENRY BARBER TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.5 Tangible fixed assets and heritage assets

Office fittings and equipment held for the Charity's own use costing more than £2,500 are capitalised and depreciated over four years on a straight-line basis.

The Barber Institute building, although built with moneys provided by the Charity, is situated on land owned by the University of Birmingham. The building is therefore owned by the University of Birmingham and is not reflected in these financial statements.

The Charity's collections are heritage assets and are not capitalised in the financial statements. The Charity's collections are inalienable assets as the Deed of Settlement requires that all the works of art or beauty acquired by the Charity shall be held in perpetuity. The Trustees may apply the remaining income arising from the Unrestricted Investment Fund, having discharged certain prior obligations, for a variety of purposes, including the purchase of works of art or beauty. The cost of acquisitions for the Charity's collections are included within expenditure as the Trustees consider this enables them to demonstrate better their compliance with the terms of the Deed of Settlement. The cost of heritage assets acquired prior to 31 July 1999 is not available. The Trustees consider the cost of carrying out a valuation to include heritage assets at valuation in the financial statements to be considerable compared with the limited additional benefit derived by the users of the financial statements. FRS 102, together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), requires the capitalisation of acquisitions for the Charity's collections since 1 August 1999. The Trustees consider the inclusion of the cost of acquisitions made since 1 August 1999 on the Charity's Balance Sheet would give a misleading picture of the financial value of the Charity's collections as the cost of these acquisitions is minor in relation to the aggregate value of its collections and therefore relatively not material.

1.6 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 impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as 'Gains/(Losses) on investments' in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

Investments held as fixed assets are shown at cost less provision for impairment.

1.7 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.

1.8 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

����������������������������������������������������������

THE HENRY BARBER TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.9 Liabilities 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 finance cost.

1.10 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.

1.11 Pensions

The Charity's staff are members of the University of Birmingham's defined benefit pension scheme. Contributions payable for the year are re-invoiced by the University of Birmingham to the Charity and charged to the statement of financial activities. The Charity's obligation in respect of the scheme cannot be separately identified and as such the payments are treated as if they were to a defined contribution scheme.

The Charity also pays unfunded non-contracted pension annuities to certain former employees, or their spouses.

Pension annuities payable for the year are charged to the statement of financial activities.

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.

Restricted Funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

In addition to the annuities payable under the terms of the Deed of Settlement, the Charity awards each year a supplement to the annuities which is paid to the University of Birmingham in respect of the salary costs of the Barber Chair of Law, the Barber Chair of Jurisprudence, the Barber Chair of Fine Arts (vacant since May 2012) and the Barber Chair of Music. Although the Barber Chair of Fine Arts is vacant the annuity continues to be applied to the salary of the Director of the Barber Institute. The Charity makes no direction as to how the supplement is to be divided between the chairs. The amount of the supplement to the annuities is reviewed regularly.

An analysis of the grants and funding payable to the University of Birmingham for the Barber Institute building, and its activities, is given below:

14. Heritage assets

Work at the Barber Institute continues to provide public access to the Charity’s collections online. At present, approximately 80% of the Barber collections, excluding the coin collection, is available via the University’s website; this includes all of the paintings (except all but one of those in the Lady Barber collection). Online public access is also available via the National Inventory of Continental European Paintings database for old master paintings, hosted by the Visual Arts Data Services, although these entries cover only pre-1900 continental European oil paintings. All the Charity’s oil paintings, sculptures and drawings (excluding those by Edmund Kapp and some of the new acquisitions), however, appear on the Art UK website: a joint initiative between Art UK and around 3,000 museums and art collections. There is also now access to about 12,000 items in the coin collection at the Barber Institute (about 75% of the total) via the University’s website. There was no progress in increasing this number during the year, following the departure for the four cataloguers in 2020, but it is hoped to resume work on this project shortly.

Before the pandemic, the Trustees regularly loaned items from the Charity’s collections to other museums and also accepted paintings and other items on short- or medium-term loan, both for display with the permanent collections and for exhibitions, and this activity has now resumed. Approximately 70% of the paintings is on display; 3% of the collection of works on paper is on display; and less than 1% of the collection of coins is on display. As temporary exhibitions are no longer held in the main galleries, these figures remain fairly constant throughout the year. In addition, 85% of the collection of sculpture and 75% of other works of art are on display at all times. The remaining items are held in storage, but access is permitted to scholars and others for research by prior appointment

The Trustees acquired sixteen works of art during the year, of which two were purchased with Charity funds and the remaining fourteen were bequeathed or gifted to the Charity. Further details may be found under Achievements and Performance – Collections above. The Trustees are most grateful to all those who so generously donated to the Charity.

The Charity’s expenditure on the purchase of heritage assets in the period 1 August 1999 to 31 July 2022 amounted in total to £9,449,830; comprising £9,393,702 on works of art and £56,128 on coins. An analysis of expenditure on the purchase of heritage assets over the last five years is given below:

19. Statement of funds (continued)

The Reserve Funds are amounts set aside by the Trustees to fund the Barber lnstitute's programme of exhibitions, the maintenance of the coin collection database, conservation of the Charity's collection of works of art and capital projects in the Barber Institute building.

The designated and restricted Works of Art Funds are for the purchase of works of art. The Trustees acquired sixteen work of art during the year, which are described in detail at note 14, Heritage assets. The designated fund balance at the year end of £78,402 (2021: £71,007) is for the purchase of works of art at the discretion of the Director of the Barber Institute.

The Barber Institute Operations Fund is for expenditure in connection with the activities of the Barber Institute and the Music Fund is for expenditure on musical activities at the Barber Institute.

The Investment Property Sinking Fund is to cover the cost of dilapidations on some of the Charity's investment property.

During the year, the Trustees’ removed the restriction on spending capital from the Deed of Settlement to enable them to adopt a total return approach for the Charity’s assets. As a result, the funds previously held as endowment funds have been transferred to an investment fund held within the unrestricted funds.
