WILLIAM HARVEY RESEARCH FOUNDATION (A Company Limited By Guarantee)

Trustees' Annual Report and Consolidated Financial Statements 31 MARCH 2023

COMPANY NUMBER: 2472965 CHARITY NUMBER: 803012

WILLIAM HARVEY RESEARCH FOUNDATION (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2023

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The objectives of the charity, as contained within its Memorandum and Articles of Association, are to promote and support, for the benefit of the public, medical research leading to new treatments for cardiovascular, inflammatory, metabolic and other diseases and to disseminate the results thereof. In shaping the objectives for the year and planning activities, and in presenting this report, the Trustees have endeavoured to comply with the Charity Commission's public-benefit requirements to illustrate identifiable benefits that are for the public good. The charity carries out its objectives primarily by pursuing the following activities:

(i) funding research into the causes and underlying mechanisms of cardiovascular, inflammatory and endocrine diseases, and the experimental evaluation of potential new treatments, the results of which are published in scientific journals and presented at scientific meetings;

(ii) supporting postgraduate research training through funding of PhD studentships, postdoctoral fellowships and travel awards to attend scientific meetings; and

(iii) sponsorship of conferences and seminars to discuss advances in research in certain disease areas.

The charity's grant-making policy has been established to achieve its objectives for the public benefit and is consistent with the membership requirements of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC).

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

(i) Three grants were awarded to the William Harvey Research Institute (WHRI) in 2022-23, amounting to £15,562. Two were small equipment awards, of £8,000 and £6,700 respectively, and one was £862 awarded in support of an academic conference. Disbursement of the research grant of £115,407 awarded in 2020-21 for a PhD studentship (comprising £94,008 from the Lorna and Yuti Chernajovsky Biomedical Research Foundation and £21,399 from the Foundation for further training and development) amounts to £74,288 to date. Additional funds amounting to £2,551 were committed during the year by the Lorna and Yuti Chernajovsky Biomedical Research Foundation to cover additional cost-of-living pressures.

(ii) The Foundation and the Trading Company maintained its research support at £684,882 (2022: £1,277,040), as follows: £388,406 (2022: £601,249) on cardiovascular disease, £239,776 (2022: £545,573) on inflammatory disorders, £56,700 (2022: £100,000) on endocrine diseases and £Nil (2022: £30,218) on other diseases. Between the Foundation and the Trading Company 16 (2022: 15) scientists at WHRI were funded in full or in part during the year. Of these a majority were female and about half are people from an ethnically minority background.

(iii) The John Vane Academy, which targets research and educational support on the next generation of medical scientific investigators, was launched in October 2023 with a successful event. During the year £10,000 of WHRF’s reserves were restricted for this purpose and £9,355 awarded to early-career researchers at QMUL’s Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry to support specialised training under the inaugural annual John Vane bursary. The bequest of £25,000 from Lady Daphne Vane’s estate received in 2021-22 will be used for the first time in 2023-24 to fund the inaugural annual Daphne Vane Media Training bursary.

(iv) The charity continued its Lay Communication Prize, awarding £500 to the winner and £400 each to the two runners-up to support the costs of attending academic meetings. This is targeted at early-career researchers at the William Harvey Research Institute to encourage the skill of presenting to non-scientific audiences, through both written and oral communication. This also forms part of marketing efforts to raise the profile of the charity. Expenditure in the year on these and previous years’ awards was £1,292.

(v) The charity continued to receive donations in 2022-23, totalling £10,386, for a new professorial chair in Intensive Care Medicine at the William Harvey Research Institute and Barts Health NHS Trust. Total funds donated to date amount to £67,039, including £10,000 of WHRF’s own pledged contribution of £25,000 over five years to support applicable research. This is a key research priority, particularly in the light of COVID-19 and the unique position of Barts Health to conduct medical research to meet the urgent medical needs of the population it serves with globally-representative demographics.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued) YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2023

FINANCIAL REVIEW

In the year and taking into account movement in investments, the Foundation received total income of £1,377,789 (2022: £1,662,601). With total expenditure of £1,250,259 (2022: £1,578,421), there was a net surplus of £127,530 (2022: £84,180). The Foundation's net assets at 31st March 2023 were £500,443 (2022: £372,914). Cash in hand was £516,044 (2022: £583,122).

The Trading Company distributed £84,173 (2022: £76,597) in the financial year ended 31st March 2023 and, subject to a final decision taking account of all circumstances, future commitments and material liabilities, will distribute £195,327 in the financial year ending 31st March 2024 to be added to the Foundation's reserves, primarily to cover future operational costs and support future grant-making, as determined by the Trustees.

Risk management

The Trustees examine on a regular basis both real and potential major business and operational risks, based on an in-depth analysis provided by the Audit and Risk Committee, and confirm that systems and a reporting structure have been established to enable ongoing monitoring and action to mitigate risks, including the regular review and renewal of relevant insurance policies. Following a detailed risk review during 2022, the principal systemic risks identified are the loss of access to critical resources that are dependent entirely on the charity’s unique model of interdependent relationships that depend in turn on continuing recognition of the mutual benefits of the model, and the loss of capacity and expertise from a failure to attract and retain key human and other resources. These risks are being mitigated by a concerted effort to promote and maintain key stakeholder relationships, by reviewing and updating internal procedures and processes to ensure effective business continuity during periods of change and by focusing on the recruitment and retention of key personnel. In addition, both entities continue to review their cost structures to reduce the financial burden of the reserves policy to sustain and improve the charity's position to offer grants.

Following the disruption to the normal pattern in recent years and no meeting in the financial year 202122 owing to the coronavirus pandemic, two John Vane Memorial Symposia (JVMS) were held in 2022-23, in September 2022 and March 2023. With the cancellation of the JVMS in March 2020, relevant liabilities were accounted for in 2020-21 while some principal costs were deferred to September 2022. The next, in-person meeting will take place in March 2024 and be the penultimate in the current series supported by an unrestricted educational grant of £744,600 over four years awarded by United Therapeutics (UT). An application will be prepared for a new funding series to begin in 2025-26.

In order to maximise possible returns, to diversify the risk and to ensure readily available funds to meet its cash-flow commitments, the Foundation invests its cash reserves in several short-term deposit accounts, with the aim that no single deposit with any one financial institution exceed £85,000, in line with the limit of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. These accounts are currently under review as interest rates improve.

Reserves policy

The reserves are held to cover the Foundation's operational costs, with 33% of salary costs for administration reimbursed to the Trading Company, reduced from 40% in 2020-21. The Foundation's reserves policy, as determined by the Trustees, is to achieve free reserves approximating to a level: (i) to meet costs covering 18months' expenditure, calculated at approximately £90,000 at current levels; and (ii) to meet future grant commitments entered into in previous years (see Note 21). Relying on both the Trading Company and Foundation, the level of free reserves for the year under review amounts to £280,122 (2022: £211,793). Free reserves are funds that do not have a restricted or designated purpose and which are not tied up in fixed assets.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued) YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2023

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The Trustees will prioritise their efforts promoting the John Vane Academy and making grants in support of early-career researchers, and will continue to mitigate the identified principal systemic risks. Key to both these is to continue to offer full support to the Trading Company, its Directors and their business model.

The Trustees continue to build and cultivate a closer working relationship with the WHRI to support its scientific and educational endeavours, and with the wider Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry of QMUL.

The Trustees continue to look to broaden and deepen their expertise to deliver the priorities of the Foundation, and are committed to keeping under review governance arrangements to ensure ongoing compliance and the effective working of the Foundation.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The Foundation is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission of England and Wales and is a company limited by guarantee not having a share capital, also registered with Companies House. It is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, amended by resolution at the Company's annual general meeting (AGM) on 12 October 2016 and again by resolution at an extraordinary general meeting on 28 January 2020.

The Foundation is the majority shareholder (60%) of William Harvey Research Limited, a company limited by shares and registered in England and Wales. The minority shareholder (40%) is Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). There are no Trustees on the Board of Directors of the Trading Company, but Trustees make up the majority of the Trading Company Board's Audit and Risk Committee and Remuneration Committee.

Trustees are appointed by ordinary resolution at a general meeting of the charitable company, although Trustees may be appointed pro tem by the Board of Trustees until the following AGM. The exception is one representative of Barts and The London School of Medicine (i.e. QMUL Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry), whom the Trustees may appoint as a Trustee under the provisions of the Articles of Association. The minimum number of Trustees at any time is four, and the maximum ten. Trustees are appointed for five years and on retirement are eligible to be re- appointed, normally for one further term only. On 3 May 2022, Professor Sir Mark Caulfield, the newly appointed QMUL Vice Principal (Health), was appointed a Trustee as the representative of Barts and The London School of Medicine; along with Vanela Bushi, Andrew Hall and Kathryn Kerle, whose appointments were ratified by Members at the AGM on 12 October 2022. Peter Marshall retired as a Trustee at the AGM on 12 October 2022 on completion of his second term.

New Trustees are identified by the Board of Trustees and must first be Members of the company, appointed as such by the Board of Trustees. The membership of the company must contain a majority who are relevantly scientifically qualified. The Board of Trustees is constituted of individuals with appropriate expertise and experience to direct the activities of the Foundation, in particular its charitable, scientific and executive functions. The Trustees are aware of the importance of improving the diversity of Board membership and fully supports the initiative of its Trading Company in this area.

The work of the Board of Trustees is supported by the Audit and Risk Committee, containing a majority of members who are Trustees, the John Vane Academy Management Committee, and a Grants Review Committee (GRC), which includes over 50% external, unconnected persons, in line with the peer-review policies of the Association of Medical Research Charities. The GRC membership is 50% female and has one member from an ethnically minority background. The GRC did not meet in 2022-23. Each Board committee has terms of reference agreed by the Board, and there is a schedule of matters reserved for the Board and a protocol to ensure appropriate and timely communication and decision-making between committees and the Board.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued) YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2023

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued)

The Board and its committees have been supported by a Programmes Manager, appointed in January 2022, to manage the John Vane Academy and other grants, and a part-time Accountant. The current postholder resigned in 2022 and has since been supporting both companies on a freelance basis pending the appointment of a new Finance Manager beginning in September 2023. Further support is provided as required by a Chartered Secretary in Public Practice.

The same Programmes Manager, Accountant and Chartered Secretary also support the Board of the Trading Company, which has four directors. Trustees receive no remuneration. Remuneration of the Trading Company's directors and staff is reviewed and benchmarked annually. The Foundation works closely with the Trading Company and the William Harvey Research Institute, benefitting from their relevant expertise and capacity to enhance the Foundation's fundraising activities. New whistleblowing policies for the Foundation and for the Trading Company were agreed during the year, the existence and availability of which will be highlighted in appropriate correspondence with clients, donors and researchers.

FUNDRAISING POLICY

The Foundation's approach to fundraising excludes any contact with the public and involves no commercial participators or professional fundraisers. The Foundation promotes support for its charitable activities and seeks to raise funds with explicit consent from potential donors. The Foundation is registered with the Fundraising Regulator (FR) and contributes to the FR levy and adheres to the FR Code of Practice. No complaints have been received in the year.

Due diligence is undertaken on funds received from third parties to ensure the continuing professional integrity of William Harvey Research, its research aims and the Foundation’s charitable purpose, and appropriate antimoney laundering measures are being implemented.

RELATED PARTIES

The Trustees have submitted to Moore Kingston Smith LLP, the Foundation's external Auditors, for inspection 'Declaration of Related Party Interests and Fit and Proper Status' forms to assist them in conducting their audit in accordance with the revised and redrafted auditing standards as issued by the Auditing Practices Board.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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 Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

In so far as the Trustees are aware:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of William Harvey Research Foundation (the ’parent charitable company’) and its subsidiary (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprises the Group Statement of Financial Activities, the Group and Parent Charitable Company Balance Sheets, the Group Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

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 group’s and parent charitable company'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 there is 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.

Page 7

WILLIAM HARVEY RESEARCH FOUNDATION (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ annual report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 5, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group and parent charitable company’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 group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with those Acts.

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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Page 8

WILLIAM HARVEY RESEARCH FOUNDATION (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

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.

The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the charitable company.

Our approach was as follows:

Page 9

WILLIAM HARVEY RESEARCH FOUNDATION (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. 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.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and, in respect of the consolidated financial statements, to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 8 of the Charities Act 2011. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members and trustees those matters which we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to any party other than the charitable company, the charitable company’s members, as a body, and the charity’s trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinion we have formed.

WILLIAM HARVEY RESEARCH FOUNDATION (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Accounting Convention

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention, modified so that investments are being measured at fair value through income and expenditure within the Statement of Financial Activities.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The Charitable Company and its subsidiary form a public benefit group for the purposes of FRS 102 and therefore the Charity also prepared its financial statements in accordance with 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 (the FRS 102 Charities SORP), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.

The Trustees have assessed whether the use of the going-concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charitable group to continue as a going concern. This primarily arises from the coronavirus pandemic, which temporarily reduced income from the trading subsidiary as a result of the difficulties of hosting events and conducting contract research, which have since eased. In particular, arrangements for and the timing of the John Vane Memorial Symposium in 2020-2022 have varied, with proportionate adjustments to the unrestricted educational grant received as a result. The planned March 2022 conference was postponed to September 2022, and so pre-pandemic arrangements were not fully resumed until 2023 with a conference held in March 2023, which utilised savings held over from the cancelled event in 2020.

The Trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular, the Trustees have considered the charitable group’s forecasts and projections, and have taken account of pressures on donation and investment income as well as the contribution from the trading subsidiary. After making enquiries, the Trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charitable group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charitable group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.

b) Basis of Consolidation

The William Harvey Research Foundation holds sixty per cent of the shareholding and voting rights in William Harvey Research Limited and is therefore its Parent Company and prepares consolidated accounts that include the activities, assets and liabilities of William Harvey Research Limited.

c) Income

Income is recognised when there is entitlement to the funds, the receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. Donations in kind appraised and included in Donations are typically, but not limited to, the use of property, utilities and facilities.

WILLIAM HARVEY RESEARCH FOUNDATION (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (continued) YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

d) Sponsorship and Contract Research income

Sponsorship and Contract Research income is recognised on an accruals basis: income relating to future accounting periods is deferred and recognised in those future accounting periods. The basis of apportionment over the time is specified by the sponsor or the client.

e) Expenditure

Liabilities are 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.

f) Expenditure on raising funds

The costs of raising funds consist of marketing fees, sponsorship and contract research management costs, administration and governance expenses incurred for the running of the William Harvey Research Foundation and William Harvey Research Ltd.

g) Expenditure on charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises all expenditure incurred directly relating to the objects of the charity. They are accounted for on an accrual basis and have been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. They include grants made for research within the William Harvey Research Institute.

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objects of the Charity. Unconditional grant offers are accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award and its payment is probable. Grant awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance or other conditions are accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and either the performance condition is met or any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to the grant is outside of the control of the Charity.

Grants are paid only for scientific research where an application covering the scientific proposal outlining the background of and the needs for the research, methods and financial support is submitted. The grant applications are evaluated by the Grants Review Committee, which recommends applications for approval to the Trustees, who make the decision. Provisions for future expenditure related to single or multi-year grants are made for salaries and PhD studentships. Further details of grants are disclosed in notes 8 and 9.

h) Governance costs

Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include statutory audit and legal fees as well as Trustees' related expenses.

i) Pensions

The company contributes to employees’ personal pension schemes in accordance with employment contracts and statutory pension regulations.

WILLIAM HARVEY RESEARCH FOUNDATION (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (continued) YEAR ENDED 31st MARCH 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

k) Investments

Shares in William Harvey Research Ltd are stated at cost.

l) Provision

In accordance with the SORP, provision for future costs is recognised for those grants where there is the constructive obligation of future provision of funds for payments of awarded grants.

m) Restricted Funds

Restricted funds represent amounts yet to be expended on grants from fund holders on restricted research projects. These are funds which were given for specific purposes which are narrower than the general objectives of the charity. Further details of restricted funds are disclosed in note 19.

n) Designated Funds

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes, in furtherance of the charitable objectives. Further details of unrestricted funds are disclosed in note 20.

o) Foreign Currencies

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising in the ordinary course of business are included in the operating profit. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date.

p) Employee benefits

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
