## **Financial Review**
During the year, income from investments and property was received by the Trust and investment management and other administrative costs incurred. Details of the income and expenditure arising during the year are shown on page 8 and in the accompanying notes on page 10.
The total income of the Trust for the year was £15,065 (2025 - £15,761). Expenditure was £40,351 (2025 - £32,413), resulting in a deficit of £25,286 (2025 – £16,652) before gains/(loss) on investments for the year. There were net gains on investment of £58,441 (2025 - £8,829) plus a gain on disposal of a property of £Nil (2025 - £23,257) leaving an overall surplus for the year of £33,155 (2025 - £15,434).
The total value of the Trust funds at 31 March 2026 was £701,786 (2025 - £668,631) all of which was unrestricted in the current and previous years.
## **Investment Policy and Performance**
The annual income generated from the Charity’s funds provides the means whereby the Charity is able to fulfil its purposes.
The Trustees have delegated the management of their stock exchange investments to experienced fund managers, Rathbone Investment Management. They have a discretionary mandate, as agreed with the Trustees, and report to the Trustees on a regular basis as to the performance of the portfolio.
The investment objective of the Trustees in relation to the share portfolio is to achieve a balance between capital and income growth. Approximately 20% of the fund is invested in good quality fixed interest stocks with the balance invested in equities, a proportion of which is allocated to investment/unit trusts in order to provide a good spread of risk.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Trustees have chosen not to designate any of the capital funds of the Charity. They regularly review the level of reserves of the Charity, and consider the donations to be made based on the funds available, after taking account of the operating costs of the Charity. The Trustees are satisfied that adequate funds were available at the year-end for the Charity to be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026**
## **Plans for Future Periods**
The Trustees intend to continue to provide charitable grants and donations in future periods for projects which are in line with the charitable objectives of the Trust, and to do so in a similar way to previous years. Having regard to the Equality Act 2010 and OSCR’s Equality Action Plan, the Trust will continue to support projects which contribute to mainstreaming equalities in Scotland.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The Charity was established in terms of a Deed of Trust dated 28 April 2011 and is an unincorporated body. The Trust Deed provides for a minimum of two Trustees and there are four Trustees at present.
The Trustees have wide investment powers and are in regular contact throughout the year in order to monitor the financial position of the Trust and make decisions on applications received by the Trustees for grants and donations to be made for charitable purposes from the Charity’s funds.
## **Grants and donations policy**
The Trustees make grants and donations in furtherance of the Charity’s objectives. All awards are made at the Trustees’ discretion and in line with the Charity’s aims and available funds.
## **Recruitment and appointment of the Board of Trustees**
The Trust is administered by the trustees who have power to appoint new trustees.
## **Trustees’ induction and training**
All trustees are familiar with the work of the charity. If there are any areas where additional training is required, this will be discussed at a trustees’ meeting and a solution identified.
## **Risk Management**
The Trustees review the risks faced by the Charity on an ongoing basis at each meeting and are satisfied that appropriate systems, controls and procedures are in place so as to ensure the satisfactory operation of the Charity and mitigate risk.
## **Details of Transactions with Related Parties**
No one individual had control of the Charity during the year. One of the Trustees, David Reith, administers the Charity on behalf of the Trustees and was paid £3,105 for his services (2025: £3,977).
No other transactions with related parties were undertaken such as are required to be disclosed under FRS 102.

## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements**
The charity Trustees are responsible for preparing a Trustees’ Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in Scotland requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Trust for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005, the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) and the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026**
I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2026 set out on pages 8 to 18.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner**
As described in the Trustees’ Report the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity’s Trustees consider that the audit requirements of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the financial statements as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seek explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In the course of my examination, other than as noted below, no matter has come to my attention:
- 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44 (1)(a) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Regulation 4 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended); and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) have not been met; or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **DR DAVID MCNEIL SUMMERS CHARITABLE TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## (a) Accounts Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) effective 1 January 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended).
The Trust has taken advantage of the exemption from the requirement to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows as permitted under FRS 102 and the Charities FRS 102 SORP.
The Trustees are not aware of any factors that affect the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern and as such have prepared the accounts under the going concern principle. The Trustees going concern assessment covers a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements.
## (b) Investments
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and sub-sequentially measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the market value at the balance sheet date. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
The Trust does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of the investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors and sub sectors.
## (c) Income
All income is recognised once the Trust has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be set and the amount can be measured with reasonable accuracy.

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026**
## **1. Accounting policies (cont.)**
## (d) Expenses recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. The charity is not registered for VAT and, accordingly, expenditure is shown gross of irrecoverable VAT. Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance cost are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings.
- Raising funds comprise the costs of investment management fees.
- Charitable expenditure comprise those costs incurred by the Trust in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## (e) Allocation of Support costs
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include governance costs which support the Trust’s activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities.
## (f) Commitments
- Commitments authorised to be paid in respect of the accounting year or future years are provided for in the accounts.
## (g) Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds are incoming resources generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.
## (h) Restricted funds
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure that meets these criteria is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs.
## (i) Taxation
The Trust is a charity and is recognised as such by the Inland Revenue for taxation purposes. As a result, there is no liability to taxation on any of its income.

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026**
## **1. Accounting policies (cont.)**
## (j) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

## **DR DAVID MCNEIL SUMMERS CHARITABLE TRUST**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026**
## **5. Investments (continued)**
All investments are carried at their fair value. Investments are all in traded in quoted public markets, primarily the London Stock Exchange. The basis of fair value for quoted investments is equivalent to the market value, using the bid price. Asset sales and purchases are recognised at the date of trade at cost (that is their transaction value).
The significance of the financial instruments to the ongoing financial sustainability of the charity is considered in the financial review and investment policy and the Trustee’s Annual Report.
The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of the investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors and sub sectors, particularly as the charity is reliant on the dividend yield in part to finance its work.
The charity has managed the investment risks by retaining expert advisors and operating an investment policy that provides a high degree of diversification of holdings within investment asset classes that are quoted on recognised stock exchange. The charity does not make use of derivatives and other similar complex financial instruments.
