TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
For the year ended 31 December 2025
Page 1

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 20 25.

The legal and administrative information page included before the Index page forms part of this report.

The company was incorporated on 11 May 2017 and was registered as a charity on 15 September 2017.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)".

Objectives and activities

Robert F. a nd Gina Goldhammer Memorial Foundation Limited is a registered charity.

The objectives of the Charity are such charitable purposes for the public benefit in any part of the world as the Trustees may in their absolute discretion determine, including but without limitation:

(a) The advancement of the Christian religion

(b) The advancement of education

(c) The promotion of the arts, culture and heritage

The Charity will operate as a grant-maker and the Trustees intend primarily to provide grants towards operational charities for the advancement of Christianity, advancement of education and promotion of the arts, culture and heritage (including music). The Trustees also propose to build and manage a sacred outdoor space to introduce people to and educate them about the Christian faith, as well as provide a contemplative and educative experience for children and adults of all backgrounds and faiths.

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
Financial review

Charitable expenditure amounted to £81,138 (2024: £288,213) during the year. At year end funds were £3,130,934 (2024: £3,222,82 9). The Charity is dependent on the ongoing support of its trustees and donors.

This has been a landmark year towards reali s ing the foundation's purpose. Restoration of the derelict monastery, chapel and landscape that began in the fall of 2024 moved forward at a steady pace. Pauses occurred at regular intervals to accommodate inspections by the Parco Regionale dei Coli Euganei and to obtain permits for each subsequent phase of construction. Emphasis throughout was on conserving – or when not possible then faithfully replicating – the historic design and materials. Plans were then drawn up for woodland and garden landscaping, the outdoor 'Path of Salvation' and design for The Cross, to be realized in 2026. The project is coming in under budget as the result of careful cost cutting and employing a regional construction company and local artisans.

Risk management and reserves policy

The Trustees intend to ensure that any intended expenditure for charitable projects is funded before the commitment is entered into. Additionally, reserves will be maintained to cover expected administrative costs covering a period of not less than 6 months.

Investment powers

In accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association the Charity has the power to invest in such charitable purposes as the Trustees see fit. Surplus funds are invested through a managed account in short term instruments to maintain capital value.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charitable company is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

The principal risk is the reliance on a principal donor however no commitments would be entered into without adequate funding in place.

Structure, governance and management

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
For the year ended 31 December 2025
Page 3

The Trustees (who are also the directors for the purpose of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company Law requires the Trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year. Under that law the T rustees must prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the T rustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.

In preparing these accounts, 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; and

- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue to operate.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

2
the financial statements do not accord with such records; or
3
the financial statements do not comply with relevent accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 December 2025

Accounting policies
Charity information

Robert F. and Gina Goldhammer Memorial Foundation Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Third Floor, 20 Old Bailey, London, EC4M 7AN.

1.1
Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019). The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The Charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements, which are those of Robert F. and Gina Goldhammer Memorial Foundation Limited as an individual entity, have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2
Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

The Trustees have received indications of support from the Charity's donors to support its intended activities. The trustees will ensure any intended expenditure for charitable projects is funded before the commitment is entered into.

1.3
Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the Charity.
1.4
Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Page 8

Cash donations and income from fundraising events are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) volunteering time is not recognised.

1.5
Resources expended

Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred on an accruals basis. Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. Costs of charitable activities include direct expenditure incurred through grants to partners and operational activities together with associated support costs. Grants are recognised in the period in which they are payable. Grants payable in furtherance of the C harity’s objects are attributed to the related classification heading in the SOFA. The costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in raising funds for the charitable work. Expenditure is allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity.

1.6
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold land and buildings
Land is not depreciated. Acquisition costs are depreciated over 10 years.
Charitable asset
In the course of construction

Assets in the course of construction are not depreciated.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.7
Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any.

1.8
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

Financial instruments

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans and other debtors receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Creditors

Short term trade creditors and other current creditors payable on demand are measured at the

transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Short term investments

Investments are stated at fair value with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognised in the income and expenditure account.

1.10
Foreign exchange

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation are included in net income/(expenditure) for the period.

1.11

Taxation

Robert F. and Gina Goldhammer Memorial Foundation Limited is a registered charity and therefore is not liable to income tax or corporation tax on income or gains derived from its charitable activities as they fall within the various exemptions available to registered charities.

As the Charity is effectively controlled by a US Charitable Trust this triggers US tax reporting which may in certain circumstances give rise to overseas tax which is provided for as its arises.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the directors 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.

Fixed Assets

As set out in more detail in the Trustees Report the charity has purchased land at a medieval monastery in Italy with the intention of undertaking various works so as to create a sacred outdoor space of prayer, pilgrimage and contemplation. The costs of this are shown in fixed assets and stated at cost, less depreciation where applicable to aspects other than land. The nature of the asset, the intended use and the potential restrictions applicable to the use and possible onward sale of the asset mean that the carrying value is difficult to gauge. The Trustees consider that to carry the asset at cost reflects the value to the company in what they hope will be a permanent feature of the landscape. But should the charity be put in a position of having to dispose of the asset there is no certainty it would recover the costs incurred.

The land and buildings comprises a monastery and surrounding land designated as a Monument in Italy. This status imposes certain restrictions on the use and disposition of the asset.

The charitable asset represents works on the monastery remains to make it into a sacred outdoor space of prayer, pilgrimage and contemplation.

During the year the charity commenced work to renovate the Monastery at Orbieso. At the balance sheet date the charity was budgeting for further building work of c. €3.6m (£1 : €1.14604 at the year end rate) to complete this project and in addition anticipates further professional fees in the region of €145,000 (£1 : €1.14604 at the year end rate). The charity has received undertakings from its donors to provide such further funds as are required to fulfil this commitment.
