Th¢ Trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31° D¢c¢mber 2023. The financiaE statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note I to the accounts and comply with the Charity's trust deed, the Chariti¢s Act 201 l and 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). Charities SORP 2019. Objectives and activities Charitable objects and Public Benefit Statement The objects of the Charity are the promotion oleducation. The Charity does not actively fundraise, and is required to make distributions, after deducting expenses arising from the ChaTity's property. administration and management, to th¢ beneficiaries named and in the proportion laid out in the Charity Commission Scheme governing the Charity. These are shown on page 18. The trustees have had regard to th¢ Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. All benefIciari¢s are educational establishments, all of which are re8lStered charities. Investment Policy and perform&nee Following approval by ihe Charity Commission, the Charity's investment strategy is a total return approach to the invcstmcnts of the tolal value of the endowment (the 'Total Endowment" or 'Fund'). In accordance with the Order, the Trustees confjmi that.. In identifying the value of the portion of the Tolal Endowment that represents distributable funds (the 'Expendable Endowmcnt,), the Trustees first identified the valu¢ of the Pemianent Endowmcnt at 24 DeLemb¢r 1980 (the earliest practical date), and The Expendable Endowment represents the difference between the Total Endowment and the Pemianent Endowment, with the latter adjusted for inflation. When det¢rniining the annual distribution to beneficiaries out of the Expendable Endowment the Trustees have considered the long tem] susiainability of such a level of distribution, and When reaching their decision as to the level of distribution, the Trustees have taken advice from their investment advisers regarding the market outlook, investment tr¢nds and yicld and the prospects for future capital growth. The Investment5 Advisors are instructed to invest to maxim ise the total return on the non-agricultural p¢rnianent endowment investments, within the constraints of a long term investfflentstrategy. Thc Trustccs agrcc target asset allocations and seeks a return of inflation + 2.5 /0. Pag¢ 2
Financial revieTrv The Charity is reliant on the Total Endowment which hold a diversified range of assets, mainly quotcd equitics but also agricultural properties and other assets. The return in 2023 before adjustfftng for distributions to beneficiaries was 2.78 % (2022 - 1 .33D/o). Interest rates began to rise rapidly in 2023 as a reaction to very sharply higher rate of inflation {a consequenc¢ in part of Russia's invasion of Ukraine) and remained high in 2023. Both equities and bonds were generally weak in 2023 but equity markets began to recover later in the year and this recovery has continued in early 2024. The Trustees have made an interim distribution of £180,000 (2022- £175,000), and proposed a second distribution of£190,000 (2022 - £190,000) to maintain their principle of distributing approximately 2.5 % of the average value of the Total endowment over the last 5 year5. At 3 ljl December 2023 this avera8e was £15,132.129 (2022 - £14,698.535). Reserves Policy The Trustees have established a policy for withdrawal of funds from Expendable Endowment which aims to tnaintain the real value of the Total Endowment in the medium terni (5 years) as measured against movements in the retail price index, and to maintain the l¢v¢l of distributions at approximately 2.5 % each year of the trailing average value of the Fund over the past 5 years, This may be increased up to 30/0 by the Trustees. As at 31, D¢ccmb¢r 2023 thc valuc of th¢ Fund was £15,523,452. The value of the Pemianent Endowment was £11,363,555 and the value of the Expendable F.ndowment was £4,159,897. Further explanations are given in the notes to the financial statements on pages 14 and E 7. Future PIAns In early 2024 global equity markets have been stron8, anticipating that the peak of the interest rate cycle has been reaLhed as inflation rat¢s fall sharply, The Trustees havc appointcd two n¢w Invcstment Managers to manage the non-property assets of the Charity, replacing the fomier Investment Manager. Since the Trust¢¢s adopt a long-t¢rni approach to investment strategy and base distributions to beneficiaries on a five-year average of the value of the total Endowment Fund, the Trustees do not intend to make any significant change to the investment strate8y pursued by th¢ Charity. Structure, Governance and Management The Charity is a registered charity, number 532297 and is govemed by a scheme approved by the Charity Commissioners dated 26 October 1979. On 6 May 2010, the Charity Commission approved th¢ Trustees'plan to adopt a policy of Total Return with effect from l January 2011. Page 3
Trustees There are seven Trustees, appointed as to three by the Trustees of the Estat¢ of William Hulme, two by the Principal and Fellows of Brasenose College, Oxford, onc by the Council of the University of Manchester and one by the beneficiary charities, in rotation. Trustees are appointed for their expertise in specific areas related to the Charity's activities, including investment and property management. All Trustees giv¢ of their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Details of Trustee expenses and related paty transactions are given in note 2 to the accounls. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and to register them with the Clerk to the Trustees, and in accordance with the Charity's policy withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises. The Trustees meet twice a year to review the perforniance of and agree a strategy for the Fund, approve distiibutions and considcr risk managcment. Risk Management The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and conduct an annual review of risks, established systems and proccdures to manage those risks. A Risk Management ststem¢nt is maintained and is reviewed annually. The Trustees Consider variability of investment returns on the Fund to constitute the Charity's major financial risk and recent volatility in world stOLk markets has demonstrated this risk. The Trustees manage the Fund on a total return basis, having obtained an Order from the Charity Commission. allowing them to use a total return approach to the Fund. The Tru5t¢es considcr that the use of a total return approach will smooth the amount available for distribution to ben¢fi¢iaries. Page 4

Independent Auditor's Report to the trustees of Hulme Trust Estates (Educational) st for the year ended 31 December 2023 Auditor's rejpollsibilities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 201 l 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 whol¢ ar¢ free from material misstatemenL whether due to fraud or e0, 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 il exists. Missiatements can arise from fraud or error and arc consid¢red material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected io 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 responsibilitles, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of d¢t¢cting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: The extent to whlch the audlt was consldered capable of delectlng Irregu14ri¢ies lThcludlng frAud Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in re5P¢Ct of irregularities, including fraud and non-complianc¢ with laws and regulations, was as follows: the engagement director ensured that the en8a8ement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. we focused on specific laws and rcgulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, in¢ludin8 legislation such as the Charities Act 2011, taxation legislation, data protection and employment. we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of officers and managem¢nt and inspecting legal correspondence. identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team r¢gularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. We assessed the susceptibility of the Charity's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by". making enquiries of management as to where they considered ihere was susceptibility to fraud. their knowledge of actual, suspeLted and alleged fraud. considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulalions.

Indepeudent Auditor's Report to the trustees of Hulme Trust Estates (Educational) for the year ended 3151 December 2023 To address the risk of fraud through officer and manag¢ment bias and ov¢rride of controls. we: perfortned analytical proccdurcs on specific balances for which robust. substantive analytical procedures have been undertaken to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships, tested joumal entries to identify unusual transactions assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in detennining the accounting estimates set out in Note I were indicative of potential bias. investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely Lt is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and ihe inspection of regulatory and legal Correspondence, if any.

I. AcCOuNTG POLICtES The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items rOgnISed at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the rclevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial stat¢m¢nts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of RecoTnmended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective l January 2019). (Charities SORP (FRS102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Charities Act 2011. The accounts are presented in £ Sterling. The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. Global equity and bond markets were generally weak in 2022 as a result of high inflation and rising inl¢rest rates. Since the Trustees adopt a long-lenn approach to investment strategy and base distributions to beneficiaries on a five-year average of the value of the Total Endowment, the Trustees do not intend to make any significant change to the investtnent strategy pursued by the Trust. The Trustees therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going conc¢m basis. Exetnption has been taken from preparing a cash flow statement on the grounds that the Charity qualifies as a srnall Charity. Tlie key judgements are those policies relating to Inv¢stm¢nt Propety and Fixed Asset Investments. Incoming resources comprise mainly investment income, interest and rents and are accounted for on a receivable basis. l. Cost of generating funds This records direct expenditure on the management of investments, prop¢rti¢s and the collection of rental and other income. 2. Cost of Charitable Activitics Resources expended are included on the basis of the amounts authorized and expended. 3. Governance Costs Costs of Governance are set out in the Statement of Financial activities. The Trll.gtees consider that rcquircmcnts for the exemptions from taxation set out in the Income and Corporation '[ axes Act l988 and the Taxation of Chargcable Gains Act 1992 ar¢ m¢t, and therefore no provision is made for taxation. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the Charity. and as such is included in the relevant costs in the staten)ent of financial activities. The Charity has a Total Fund comprising a P¢m]anent Endowment and an Expendable Endowment. The Charity Cornmission Scheme provides for the Trustees to invest the Fund in perpetuity and it is managed on a total return basis. The Trust¢¢s may at their discretion allocate any part of the Expendable Endowment to the purposes of the Charity. Page 12
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. A provision for bad and doubtful debts relating to rental arrears is made on an estimation of those specifLC debts at the statement of financial position date which are considered to be potentially irrecoverable. Currcnt asset investlnents include cash and cash equivalents invested on a short term basis with a maturity of twelve months OT less from the date of acquisition. They are recognised initially at cost and subsequently at market valu¢ at the reporting date. Any change in valuation between reporting dates is recognised in the statement of financial activities. Cash at bank and ca.sh in hand includes cash and short tcrtn deposits with a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of deposit or similar account. The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabiliti¢s of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instrumenls are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be m¢asurcd or cslimated rcliably. Creditors and provisions are nornially recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. Property Propety Investments are held for investment purposes, and therefore no provision has been made for depreciation, These properties are measured at fair value at the reporting date. An annual assessment of the value of investment asset5 must be carried out. The Trustees have detern)ined thai ihe value of the Investment Properties is not materially different to the independent valuation made in March 2024. This has been determined by the usc ofroutine and rcputable indices published by RICSIRAU and Savills. Quoted Investments Investments are a fom] of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised as their transaction value and subsequently tneasured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the quoted market price, The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on the revalualion and disposals throughout the year. The investment power of total return was granted by the Charity Commission on 6th May 20IO. The power penn its the Trustees to invest the Permanent Endowm¢nt to maximise total return and to apply part of the Expendable Endowment to distributions to beneficiaries each year. Until the power exercised to distribute part of the Expendable Endowment (as disclosed in the fund transfers, note 7) th¢ Expendable Endowment remains invested alongside the Pernianent Endowment in the Total Fund and is also invested to maximise total returns. The power allows the Trustees to decide in each year how much of the Expendable Endowment is distributed. The Trustees, having considered the fiv¢ year average value of the Total Fund and their desire to srnooth the annual distribution to beneficiaries, have decided to make a total distribution of £370,000.
