Trustees' Report
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Objectives and Activities
Aims and Objectives
The purpose of the charitable company is the advancement, promotion and encouragement of education and research in the field of art history and the contemporary arts, in particular in the medium of prints. The dissemination of the results of such research will primarily be achieved through the publication of the Print Quarterly magazine.
Public Benefit
In fulfilling the main clauses of the Charitable Company’s Memorandum of Association and its role in providing a public benefit, Print Quarterly has continued to strive to advance the understanding and enjoyment of arts, culture and education in the history and appreciation of prints and printmaking.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and Performance
Main Achievements
The charity continued to operate smoothly with two part-time administrators and the editor.
The journal continues to maintain a global scope. In 2025 several articles on Polish subjects were published by authors based in Poland, as well as an article on a Chinese subject by a scholar from mainland China. In total, 93 authors contributed to the journal during the year.
Total income from trading activities was almost identical in 2025 compared with 2024. with small increases of around £600 and £300 to subscription income and advertising income respectively. Production and distribution costs also remained broadly consistent. Support costs increased by around £15,000, due to increased staff costs. The increase relates to ongoing salary increases in line with inflation.
Excluding donations and gifts, total income amounted to £110,113. Total expenditure, excluding the Curating Prints seminar, was £219,600, resulting in a shortfall of £109,487, which was offset by ongoing donations.
Print Quarterly successfully organised the final seminar in 2025, generously funded by the Getty Foundation Paper Project. Thanks to careful planning over the previous years, we benefited from an increased budget in 2025, which allowed us to expand the itinerary to include Paris alongside London. The seminar took place across both cities from 19 March – 26 March 2025, with ten participants. By the end of the 2025 fiscal year, the total funds of the grant had been spent on programme activities as per the initial budget. Thanks to the success of the seminars, we have successfully secured a new sponsor for 2027 (Tavolozza Foundation).
Financial Review
Financial Position
Although the aim in every financial period is to generate sufficient income to cover its expenditure on both trading and charitable activities, the charity is dependent on donations to achieve this aim. In the 2025 year, donations were received of £78,758 (2024 - £76,397) which supplemented income from the Journal of £108,265 (2024 - £108,290). Overall, an operating deficit of £29,229 was incurred after expenditure of £218,100 (2024 - £203,435).
Seminar costs relating to the Curating Prints Project increased slightly within the year and expenditure for the year was £37,156 (2024 - £32,930), covered by the restricted funds originally provided by the Getty Foundation in 2019.
The balance sheet shows total funds of £12,104 (2024 - £79,989), which is represented by an unrestricted general funds deficit of £1,752 (2024 - £3,299 surplus), an endowment fund of £13,856 (2024 - £13,856) and restricted funds solely relating to the Curating Prints Project of £0 (2024 - £62,834). This followed a transfer of the remaining restricted funds at the end of the Curating Prints Project, into unrestricted funds, with the consent of the Getty Foundation.
Reserves Policy
The income from the permanent endowment funds may be used for general purposes of the charitable company and is therefore included as part of unrestricted funds. However, the endowment fund balances themselves are ‘capital’ and must be invested and held indefinitely by the charitable company.
The restricted funds represent a grant from the Getty Foundation to support a series of travelling seminars.
The unrestricted general fund represents the charitable company’s “free reserves.” The charity operates without setting a target for free reserves due to a donor’s commitment to provide funds, as needed, to allow the charity to continue to meet any immediate financial requirements and continue its core activity of publishing the Print Quarterly Journal.

Investment policy
The endowment funds are held risk free in cash in a premier interest account, so as to generate some interest and to have the money readily available if required.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
Introduction
The charity is a company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales (registered number 2677762) and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 15 January 1992. It is also registered with the Charity Commission, charity registration number 1007928. In the event of the company being wound up the members would each be required, if necessary, to contribute to the assets of the company a sum not exceeding £1.
Key management personnel
The directors consider that the Board of Directors, and an employee whose principal role is as Editor of the Print Quarterly Magazine, comprise the key management personnel in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. 
The directors received no remuneration.
Changes to pay and benefits are determined by the Board of Directors.
Directors
The directors constitute trustees of the charity for the purposes of charity legislation. The following persons shall be entitled to be directors/members:
  • Not more than six Members nominated by the Subscribers.
  • Any Member formally proposed, seconded and listed in the notice convening the first Annual General Meeting or any subsequent General Meeting of the Company and who shall be duly elected.
The following members served throughout the financial period and to the date of this report, where:
D Alexander
N Barker
D Bindman (deceased 29/05/2025)
H Chapman (appointed 15/07/2025)
A Griffiths
D Landau
J Martineau
E von Baeyer (appointed 15/07/2025)
Risk management
The directors have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those relating to the specific operational areas of the charitable company and its finances. In view of the size of the charitable company and its operations, they have established effective systems to mitigate those risks.
The directors consider that financial sustainability is the principal risk faced by the charitable company. In order to mitigate this risk the directors recognise that most publications are struggling financially because of decreasing advertising revenue and subscriber numbers. However, both advertising revenue and subscriber numbers have been relatively stable for the Journal. The directors keep a close eye on these key financial indicators and, should the need arise, will reassess cheaper production models, including printing on demand, offering an online version behind a paywall, or being an online Open Access journal.
The charity relies heavily on donations and needs to ensure that they will continue. The directors have received a reassurance from the charitable company's main donor that he will cover any shortfalls in its finances and eventually endow the charity to ensure its financial stability.

Post Balance Sheet Events
Print Quarterly remains committed to the successful publication of the journal, continuing to deliver high-quality articles, informative notes, obituaries, and reviews of current books and exhibition catalogues.
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Print Quarterly Publications for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statement 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 the financial statements the trustees are required to:
  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
  • make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
  • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Small Company Rules
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
The trustees' report was approved by the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Print Quarterly Publications
I report to the trustees (who are also Directors for the purpose of company law) on my examination of the financial statements of Print Quarterly Publications (‘the charitable company’) for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes.
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011.  My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Responsibilities and Basis of Report
As the trustees of charitable company you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charitable company’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’) and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.
Independent Examiner's Statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 
  • accounting records were not kept in respect of the charitable company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 
  • the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 
  • the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
  • 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). 
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) "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)", Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
The trustees have not identified any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Included in the trustees' assessment was a consideration of the commitment received from the charity’s main donor that donations will continue to be made to the charity and at a level to provide sufficient cash reserves to allow the charity to meet its operational expenditure and financial commitments.
The trustees have made this assessment in respect to a period of one year from the date of approval of these financial statements.
2.3. Significant judgements and estimations
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and judgements. It also requires the directors’ to exercise judgement in the process of applying accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including an expectation of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on the directors’ best knowledge of the amount, event or actions, actual results may differ from those estimates.
The directors do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty or key judgements made in the preparation of the financial statements.
2.4. Fund Accounting
The endowment funds comprise monies which will be held indefinitely as capital. 
General funds represent those monies which are freely available for application towards achieving any charitable purpose that falls within the charity’s charitable objects. 
The restricted fund represents grant income received from The Getty Foundation for the Curating Prints Project.
2.5. Incoming Resources
Income from donations is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to the donation and where receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. Donations include gifts of services provided to the charity free of charge. These are measured at fair value using the estimated market value of the services received.
Charitable activity - Print Quarterly Magazine includes magazine subscriptions and advertising income. Subscription and advertising income is deferred when received in advance.
2.6. Resources Expended
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It includes VAT which cannot be recovered.
Project costs include all expenditure related to the Curating Prints project. Support costs include staff and office costs directly attributable to charitable activities. In order to carry out the primary purposes of the charity, it is necessary to provide support in the form of financial procedures, provision of office services and equipment and a suitable working environment.
Governance costs are those which are directly attributable to the management of the charity’s assets and the necessary legal procedures for compliance with statutory requirements.

2.7. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks.
Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Work in progress is reflected in the accounts on a contract by contract basis by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses.
At the end of each reporting period stocks are assessed for impairment. If an item of stock is impaired, the identified stock is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell and an impairment charge is recognised in the statement of financial activities. Where a reversal of the impairment is required the impairment charge is reversed, up to the original impairment loss, and is recognised as a credit in the statement of financial activities.
2.8. Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
2.9. Financial Instruments
The company only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and financial liabilities and their measurement basis are as follows: Financial assets – subscriptions and advertising income and accrued income are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments.
Cash at bank – is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Financial liabilities – accruals, trade and other creditors are basic financial instruments and are measured at amortised cost. VAT and other taxes and social security liabilities are not financial instruments. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument.
2.10. Foreign Currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating surplus.
2.11. Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax as all its income is charitable and applied for charitable purposes.
