OBIECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES In furtherance of the intentions of the founder of the School. the Reverend Dr john Hymers. the principal object of the harity is to advance the education of school age children by providing a day school located in the City of Kingstan- Upon-Hull, to benefit the City, East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire. The founder's objective, which is still pursued today. was for a school which provides.. "for the training of intelligence in whatever social rank of life it may be found" Governors retnain committed to this objective of public benefit in their Tnanagement of the Hymers Fee Remission Scheme. During the ye3r, the Hymer5 Fee Remis5ion5 Scheme provided financial as51%tance to 86 pupi15 from lower Income families. We gratefully acknowledge the continuing support of The Sir James Reckitt Charity, through its contributions to the Scheme. Financial support lor recipients of Hymers Fee Remissions is also available from The Eric Gordon Mallalieu Bursary Fund, the Howard-mallalieu Scholarship Fund and a bequest in memory of the late Mr Peter Lovell.

Financial support is mean5-tested and remain.% the fairest way of making grants to ensure acce5S to the School, regardless of incoTne, is available to the widest possible socio-demographic mix of children. Strategic Intents and FU￿re Plans for Development Our strategic vision for the continuing development of Hymers College as a centre of educational excellence requires a focuf on student centred learning, enhancing learning discipline5, innovation and creativity aTnong pupi15. For our vision to work, capital expenditure on the campus, regular maintenance and improvements to our facilities must be ongoing.

HYMERS COLLEGE THE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 The School continues to use any surplus that it makes to offer fee assistance to support the education of pupils who would otherwise not be able to afford a Hymers education and to invest in the education of its pupils. Achievements and Review of the Year In the previous year, with the election of the Labour Government, the school experienced a period of significant financial shift driven by government policy changes, most notably the introduction of VAT on school fees and the withdrawal of charitable relief on business rates. These measures plated material pressure on operating costs and affordability for farnilie5, contributing to a reduction in the pupil roll. In response, the Governor5 undertook a comprehensive strategic and linancial review, which resulted in the decision to relocate Hymers Hessle Mount to the ain site in central Hull, and to restructure staffing arrangements to ensure the cost base was appropriately aligned th the revised scale of operation5 and pupil roll. The Governors and executive leadership have taken decisive action to manage expenditure, and a thorough review of all major cost areas has been completed. Noted in the statutory accounts are exceptional costs for 202412025 of £856k attributable to the relocation and planned disposal of Hymers Hessle Mount and costs associated with the stall restructure. The School remains in a sound financial position, with no external debtand the benefitofretained cash reserves, which provide a degree of resilience as the School adapts to the changes.. Despite this considerable external shock and the undeniable challenge that thi5 has p05ed the senior leadership and governing board, the pupils of Hymers College from the youngest at Hymers Hessle Mount to the departing Year 13 students - continued to benefit from a broad and balanced education notable for high standards, academic and intellectual nourishment and extensive co-curricular opportunities. The tonsiderable success that the pupils enjoyed has continued to be underpinned by an environment which is marked by kindness, respect and inclusion. This wa% recognised when the school received the national Wellbeing Award for the strategic approach that we take to supporting the welfare needs of our pupils and staft.. The School's academic succes5 is underpinned by outstanding pastoral care, with well trained staff and a well-resourced structure of welfare provision, alongside a broad range of co-curricular activities. Through a Hymers education our pupils develop the crucial personal qualities ol'sell'.esteem and resilience to allow them to flourish both during their school days and later While a Hymers education is about so much more than purely academic outcomes, results in external public exams are readily understood to be of importance and one indicator of the success of the school in meeting its aim to offer an education of all-round excellence, with a strong academic thread. In the summer of 2025 our students achieved the bestA Level and GCSE exam result5 in the school's history. It wa5 the first year in which some of our students took a B TEC qualification in Sport. and those BTEC pioneers, together with their teachers, are to be congratulated on the tremendous results they gained. Overall, one in 5 of all A Level grades was an A with 55% of all exams in both A Level and BTEC qualifications graded at A or A, or their equivalent, and 78(Yo at A -B.. the grades required to secure entry on to the most prestigious university courses in the country. These results saw us placed 91st in the Times newspaper national league table. 74Q/o of our students took up a place at one ol the research-intensive Russell Group universities. 10 Hymerians gained places to pursue medicine or dentistry. A large concentration of the Hymers Class of 2025 started at outstanding universities that still attract many ol. the brightest and best students from across the world, including the London universities ol UCL, Imperial, the LSE and Kings, the universities of Warwick, Bristol, Durham and Manchester,. and six HyTnerians successfully achieved the grades to take up their places at Oxford or Cambridge. Not to be outdone by the outgoing Year 13 students, a week later our GCSE cohort received superb results: comfortably the best since GCSES have been redesigned and regraded 9-1. The statistics tell their own story.. 31% of all exams were graded a 9.. more than 500kn achieved a g or an 8,. and 690h received 9-7 grades (the old A'/A metric). Outside the classroom Hymers pupils of all ages participated with enthusiasm, commitment and in good spirit in a wide range of co-curricular activities. The performing arts continue to flourish in the School, with our youngest pupils at Hymers Hessle Mount following the example set by pupils in higher year groups. Following its success at the

HYMERS COLLEGE THE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 Cottingham Music Festival, the Year 6 Choir were invited to sing at the festival's prize wnners concerL For the 13th consecutive year the junior School Choir qualified for the Barnardo's National Choral competition at Birmingham Syn]phony Hall. For the second consecutive year the Year 6 dancer5 reached the national final of the Great Big Dance Off. Senior School music goe5 fron] strength to strength and during the academic year we enjoyed a series of superb concerts.. some chamber music, some large-scale orchestral or choral works such as those at Christmas and the Spring Term's performance of exterpts from Handel's Messiah bya chorus made up ofpupils, Old Hymerians, teathers, parents and friends. Our pop and rock bands seized an increased number of opportunities to perform both within school and to a wider audience, and one ot our excellent Sixth Form bands took I ' prize in the Yorkshire Wolds Music Festival. On the stage. ag we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Dame ludi Dench Theatre. our senior dramatl5ts took on the on5iderable challenge of performing Hamlet,. and thank% to the considerable efforts of cast, crew and stsff alike, the audience was treated to a spirited and moving production - with some outstanding individual performances - that really got to the heart of the tragedy. For the second consecutive year one of our Students reached the national final of the English Speaking Union's Shakespeare Reading Competition held on the Southbank in London, while one of our Sixth Formers gained prolessional experience in a production with Hull Truck Theatre Company. Itwas heartening and indeed inspiring for our young draTnatists to hear of the professional success of one of our recent alumni who had a role in a Hollywood blockbustsr film starring Cate Blanchet¢ Piers Brosnan and Michael Fassbender. The sporhng succes5 of our pupi15 during 2024-25 was perhaps unprecedented. The U9 gir15 won the city futsal tournament, while both the Ul I boys and girls won the Hull City football competition. The girls then went on io win the HMC North East competition and the Yorkshire round ol the Premier League Primary Stars football tournament before representing Hull City at the national finals at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Molineux Stadium. In rugby our Ul I boys won the Ashville 7s festival and competed in the top tier of the Rosslyn Park competition. In rugby the Ull girls were crowned In2 Hockey Yorkghire champions. In the Senior School our U16 rugby players were victorious at the Woodhouse Grove 7s tournament, beating stiff competition en route to the final. The U15 rugby players had a highly successful cup run to reach the last four tean]5 of the national cup [out of the 256 teams that entered the competition), only to be defeated in the serni-final by a school that acts as a leeder to a professional Premiership club academy. Five years after football was reintroduced to the Senior School as a competitive sport, four of our squads reached the semi-linal stage ol. national cup competitions. The U12 boys achieved this feat, as did our own Lionesses the U15 and U13 ￿rIs, 50Tnething which we were particularly thrilled about However, our U15 boys, after unluckily la.sing on a penalty shootout at the semi-final stage two years ago, showed the value in persistence and dogged detern)ination by reaching and then winning the national final of the Independent Schools Football Association Cup. Very well done too to our U 13 girls. hockey players who won the regional round5 to compete in the national plate final and the U14 boys. hockey squad did the school proud at the Tier 2 national finals at the University ot Nottingham. Ernbedded within some of these strong collective perfornjances froTn Hymer5 teaTll5 was some magnificent young individual talent that we are privileged to be able to nurture,. and so many congratulations to our cricketer who over the summer represented the North of England,. our rugby players who play for the Yorkshire and Hull Kingston Rovers squads,. our footballers who are involved wth a number of professional academies in the region,. our two hockey players who have been selerted for the USA junior national squads at U18 and U16,. our ryelist who has been signed up by a professional training team in the Netherlands and who is part of the Great Britain development squad for the next two Olympics in 2028 and 2032. Furthermore, we are excited by our new partnership with the Tom Dean Swim School, as we became only the second venue in the north to host an initiative that is committed both to high performance and simply enCoura￿ng more children to swim recreationally. Across the whole school the Hymers curriculum is enriched by a carefully planned series of enrichment activities and trips. The junior School Theme Week wa5 again a highlight of the calendar and pupils acr05S the school benefitted from the opportunities to extend their learning outside the classroom through the many educational visits that took place. Pupils at Hymers Hessle Mount enjoyed trips to Pink Pig Farm, Yorkshire Wildlife Park and Eureka! while in the lunior School pupils wsited Hull Street Life History Museum and Year 6 relished their residential week in Windermere. Senior School pupils took part enthusiastically in a myriad of enrichment societies, academic challenges and Olympiads, as well as the trips to destinations near and far. Our historians located the graves of Old Hymerians on their trip to the Battlefields of Belgium, while the classicists and geographers did their own Grand Tour of the sites of Rome and the

HYMERS COLLEGE THE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 Bay of Naples. In July 60 students and 8 staff enjoyed what may well be the trip of a lifetime to Sri Lanka on a multi- sports tour, that was packed with sport and cultural experiences that are Sure to stay long in the memory. In addition, Hymers students were to be found in greater number than ever before taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award seheme. A Hymers education is a transforniaiive experience and we are proud to be able to report that our excellent students are making the most of their few short years at school and doing their utmost to share their privilege as widely as possible. Charltles of the Year During 2024-25 Hymers pupils continued to engage wholeheartedly in charitable fundraising activities and community work, including through our Primary Mentoring scheme which saw our sixth form students supporting reading in local primary schools and by volunteering to assist in large numbers at the Rotary Disability Games. We were proud that our Science Triathlon for Year 10 pupils from schools across the region won 1st prize in the'small budget evenv category of the AMCIS national awards (Admissions. Marketing and Communications in Independent Schools), and our gifted & talented English and Maths days for primary-age pupils again proved popular with local schools. We were delighted by the way in which the pupils and the wider school community got behind our inaugural Giving Day that raised £85,000 to support the john Hymer5 Bursary Appeal. We were delighted that our efforts in this regard were recognised at the 2025 Independent Schools of the Year Awards in the Social Mobility category when we won the accolade of Highly Commended because of the difference that Hymers makes in the lives ofyoung people in Hull, East Riding and North Lincolnshire.

Since the start of the initiatiye we have worked with a variety of organisations year on year, as well as other one-off projects. Some of these organisations and projects are outlined below. Hymer5 NCS Hymers College is the only independent school in the country to offer NCS programmes as a delivery provider. Hymers NCS has been running fror eight years, with over 80% ot participants from external'hard to reach, backgrounds, forging partnershipg with 15 schools and colleges around Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire. The scheme aims to provide young people with opportunities to grow through hands-on, real-world experiences that encourage personal and social development. Disappointingly, the National Citizen Service (NCS) programme in England concluded on 31 March 2025, with the NCS Trust being wound down by the government to make way for a new national youth strategy. The NCS program is no longer operational at Hymers College. Public Benefit Our strategy aims to meet several broad objectives.. by continuing to provide significant educational benefit to the ommunity, not only by awarding Hymers Fee Remission grants to enable academically able children from low income families to attend the School, but by implementing programmes, events and letting our facilities in broad support of edutation and practical wellbeing projects to local people and tommunity groups. School staff and pupils regularly engage with the wider community and provide mentoring. The Board of Governors ha5 taken full account of the Charities Act 2011 regarding the Public Benefit required to be provided by independent schools in 5UPPOrt of their charitable status and remain confident that Such benefit is being provided within the stated aim ot the charity to advance the education of boys and girls in or near the City ot Kingston- Upon-Hull, East Yorkshire, and North Lincolnshire. The School encourages local organisations to use its lacilities, which include a swimming pool. all-weather pitch, theatre, sports hall and sport5 centre. In the pastyear the School has seen a wide range oforgani52tions on campus. In a wider context, the School continues to make a significant social and economic contribution to the life of the city, through.. FinancialAssistance We continue to educate a significant number of children from a broad range of background5 at no costto the State. The Independent Schools, Council's Impact Assessment Tool was used to calculate that Hymers College saves the UK Exchequer £6.596m in 2024-25 by eliminating the cost of providing state-funded education. The School devotes around 7.5 % of its income to bursaries to enable academically talented children from low- income backgrounds to attend the School. Hordship Funds Ongoing bursaries and 5hort-term hardship grants were made to enable pupils whose parents experienced reduced income due to the effects ot bereavement, loss of employment, illness or injury to remain at the School. Fundraisillg Members of the School'5 Staff and student body organise various fundraising events and co-ordinate a variety of activities both within the School and the wider community to raise funds for an array of charitable cases throughout each year. The school does not use any professional fundraisers or involve commercial participators in its fundraising efforts.

HYMERS COLLEGE THE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 Principal Risks and Uncertainties The Board ofGovernors has established robust policies and procedures to address key risks and monitor performance, which under normal conditions will allow risks inherent in its day to day operations to be mitigated to an acceptable level. A key purpose of the Corporate Trustee is to provide a layer of protection to persons a￿ng as Governors, so that the Board can reduce Governors, personal liability to attract the best governors with the widest range of professional skills and experience. The Board of Governors regularly reviews the School's principal areas of operations and considers the organisational risks it Tnight face. The Board will continue to acknvely monitor the effectg of such risks on its operations and review exi%ting and emerging legislation, and likewise the effects of current and forecast economic, political and market conditions. The principal risks include, but are not restricted to.. Parental affordability. fee pressure and ongoing cost inflation.. Increasing pension c05ts', Impact of the imposition of VAT on fees and loss of Business rate relief., Retention and recruitment ol'talented education professionals,. Competition from local state and independent education provider5', Meeting societal demands to demonstrate the value of a private education. Group Hymers College is the parent charity of a group which comprises three wholly owned subsidiaries, Botanic Sidings Limited Ico. no. 37967321, The School Shop IHulll Limited (co. no. 23498031 and The College Enterprises (Hull) Limited Ico. no. 2583012). Each subsidiary is a trading company Set up to deliver the charitable objectives of Hymers College. The Sthool Shop (Hull) Limited..

Owns property which is used by Hymers College to provide sports facilities including an all- weather pitch and playing fields. See Note 12 for a summary of results. Reserves Poliry Currently the School holds free reserves, which are defined as unrestrirted funds excluding land and buildings. Free reserves include cash and other working capital balances. As part of our strategy to build effective flexible financial reserves we evaluate our need for reserves and hold those reserves to ensure that we can deliver serwces. Financial impact of risk- There are a range ofrisks the charity faces, including the risk of an unforeseen drop in incoTne and in the extreme, to political influences which may pose an existential threat to the School. To ensure that there is no significant disruption to our charitable activities, holding an appropriate level of reserves 11 enable the organisation to respond to unforeseen short-term reductions in income, which we deterTnine as a low risk in current circumstances. Working capital- A significant proportion of our reserves are represented by cash and trade debtors. We maintain a large proportion of our current assets in cash to reduce dependency on borrowing and cut the cost of financing our services. These cash reserves are used to meet day to day liabilities. io

HYMERS COLLEGE THE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 Our reserves policy defines the fran]ework we have in place to determine the level of reserves we consider to be necessary for the College and draws upon guidance provided by the Charity Commissioners in CCI9. As of 31 August 2025, the School held total reserves of £12,995k of which £12,314k were unrestricted. Free re5erve5 which the School could spend on any ofits charitable purposes, excluding tangible fixed assets were £106k at the year end. This figure would be in addition to restricted funds which cannot be utilised for operational expenses. The target level of reserves Is between 2 and 3 month5 of operating costs, which 15 in excess of current free reserves level5. CommRtments and long-term plans The Board of the Trustee remain committed to developing the land and buildings which forn) the entire campus and will approve Capital projects, from time to time, when funds permit. Pension Liabilities The School is a meTnber of the Teachers Pension Scheme which carries an overall fund deficit. Because we carry a proportion of the fund's liability with other members of the Scheme the assets and liabilities ol'this defined benefits scheme are excluded from the reserves calculation as they are not expected to lead to any short or medium-term cash outflow which is not already included in budgeted spending and net cash inflows. This is consistent with the Charity Commission guidance. Endowed Assets The assets held in a Permanent Endowrnent Fund are used to generate income which is applied to meet the charitable objectives of the College. The fund is to be held indefinitely and the School doe5 not have the power to convert the fund, which comprises land and buildings, into income. Financial Review The Board takes the view that, in order to support the Headmaster in providing excellent academic, cultural, pastor31 and sporting education opportunities for its pupils, Hymers College must operate on sound business principles, with an efficient organisational structure which can respond quickly to opportunities and challenges to deliver the best Possible Yalue for money. At time of writing, the Board is confident that projected pupil numbers. fee income and existing reserves can support the School'5 educational programme, however Governors are Tnindful of a greatly heightened level of political and economic risk facing the independent school sector. The Board operate5 3 responsible financial strategy based on projected revenue, reserves and expenditure based on educational need and will only approve plans presented by its Committees after an appropriate level of due diligence and corporate governance. Budget reports are presented every term to the Finance and Property Committee prior to final review by the Board. Each year, Heads of Departments submit their bids for funding and are subsequently allocated devolved budgets. IncoTne and expenditure is monitored on a monthly basis by the HeadTnaster and Bursar. The total incoming resources for the year, a5 Set out in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 18, amounted to £13,697,081 {2024.. £13,291,886). Going Concern We draw attention to the Statement of Comprehensive Income which reports a deficit of £1,316.759 (after one-off costs of £856,458) and Statement of financial position which shows net assets of £12,995,774. A5 Stated in the Accounting Policies there is no material uncertainty about the School being able to continue as a going concern. Our Finance Committee has established key performance indicators which they monitor regularly. Cash flow management remain5 an important factor in deterTnining the financial health of the School and therefore we regularly

HYMERS COLLEGE THE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025 adjust our financial plans based on the available cash resource, and our senior management continue to revise the business plan when necessary, to adapt to changing circumstances.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficientand 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, maycast significantdoubt on the group or the parentcharity's ability to continue 25 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 wth respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this reporL Other Information The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent othenvise 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 incon51Stencie5 or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves.

HYMERS COLLEGE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE BOARD OF THE TRUSTEE OF HYMERS COLLEGE Matters on which we are required to Report by Exception We have nothing to report in respect of the followng matter5 in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if. in our opinion.. the infornjation given in the Trustees, Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the linaneial statements,. or the parent charity has not kept sufficient accounting records,. or the parent charity's fjnancial statements are not in agreernentwith the accounting records and returns.. or we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audiL ResponslbllRdes of Trnstee As explained more fully in the Trustee's Responsibilities Statement set out on pages 12. the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial staten]ent5 and for being satl5fied 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 tree from material misstatement. whether due to Iraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group and the parent 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 unles5 the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or the parent charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditorfs Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements We have been appointed as auditors under the Charities Art 2011 and report in accordante with regulations made under that Act. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the group and parent financial statements a5 a whole are free from Tnaterial mi5Statement, 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 canducted in accordance with ISAS [UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or errorand 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 olnon-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including traud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below. Identifying and assessing risks related to irregularities.. We assessed the susceptibility of the group and parent charity's financial statements to material misstatement and how fraud might occur, including through di5CU5sions with the trustees, discussions within our audit team planning meeting, updating our record of internal controls and ensuring these controls operated as intended. We evaluated possible incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements. We identified laws and regulations that are of significance in the context of the group and parent charity by discussions with trustees and updating our understanding ol. the sector in which the group and parent charity operate. Laws and regulations of direct significance in the context of the group and parent charity include the Charities Act 2011, the Charitie5 [Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and guidance issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales, the Independent School Standards are found in the Education and Skills Act 2008 and guidance issued by the Department for Education.

HYMERS COLLEGE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE BOARD OF THE TRUSTEE OF HYMERS COLLEGE Audit response to risks identified.. We considered the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items including a review of financial %tatement disclosure& We reviewed the parent charity's records of breaches of laws and regulations, minutes of meetings and correspondence with relevant authorities to identify potential material misstatements arising. We discussed the parent charity's policies and procedures for compliance with laws and regulations ￿th members of management responsible for compliance. During the planning meeting with the audit team, the engagement partner drew attention to the key areas which might involve non-compliance with law5 and regulations or fraud. We enquired of management whether they were aware ol'any instances ol'non-complianee with laws and regulations or knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. We addre$5ed the risk of fraud through management override of contro15 by testing the appropriateness of journal entries and identifying any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business. We assessed whetherjudgements made in making accounting estimates gave rise to a possible indication ofmanagement bia& At the completion stage ofthe audit, the engagement partnerfs review included ensuring that the team had approached their work with appropriate professional scepticism and thus the capacity to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud. There are inherentlimitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the fjnancial statements, the less likely we would become aware of IL Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error. as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
