SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL NETWORK CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2007

The Trustees submit their annual report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2007. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" issued in March 2005 in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. Structure, governance and management The Scientific and Medical Network Charitable Trust was established by a Trust Deed dated 1 July 1986 and registered with the Charity Commission on 17 October 1986. Objects The Charity's objects are the advancement of learning and religion in any part of the world by the study of the various aspects of Truth represented through a rts, the sciences and all religions in which may be found spiritual truths necessa ry for man's fullest development through his understanding the laws of life and living.

The Trust is managed by the Board of Trustees. The existing Trustees have the power to appoint new Trustees when a vacancy arises. The Trustees do not retire by rotation so new trustees are only appointed when a vacancy arises as a result of retirement or removal, or when specialist knowledge is needed. The methods adopted for recruitment of a new trustee, and the procedures to be adopted for induction, are therefore decided by the existing trustees in the light of the particular vacancy to be filled. No policies and procedures have been adopted for ongoing training of trustees.

Objectives, achievements, performance and financial review The Trust aims to achieve its objectives through its support of the Scientific and Medical Network ("SMN") (company number 4544694, charity number 1101171). This associated charity was set up to undertake activities formerly conducted by the Trust and has similar objects to the Trust.
During the year, the Trust made a grant of 20,000 to SMN for their general projects and 4,000 for educational projects. The Trust received a donation of shares valued at 63,510 from the GB Blaker Charitable Trust. The Trustees have designated these as additional funds to be used specifically for education projects until 1 January 2027 when any remaining balance shall be transferred to general income funds. Investment policy

The investment policy of the Trust is to invest in low risk investments which maintain a balance between capital growth and investment income and the trustees consider that this investment objective was met during 2007.

SCIENTIFIC AND MEDICAL NETWORK CHARITABLE TRUST TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2007
Future plans The charity plans to continue to support the activities of SMN by the making of grants as approved by the trustees from time to time. Rese rves The Trust does not maintain a specific amount of general funds as monies will not be donated unless sufficient funds are available Risk assessment The Trustees review financial and other risks when appropriate and have established procedures to ensure that all transactions and projects are properly authorised. Statement of Trustees' responsibilities The Trustees are responsible for preparing the report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Under the Charities Act 1993 the Trustees are required to prepare a statement of accounts for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the year and of its incoming resources and application of resources in the year. In preparing the statement, the Trustees are required to: select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the statement of accounts; prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its operations. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity at that time and to enable the Trustees to ensure that any statement of account prepared by them complies with the regulations under Section 42(1) of the Charities Act 1993. 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.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of accounting The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" published in March 2005 and the Charities Act 1993. Fund accounting The unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. Investment income is allocated to general unrestricted funds and investment gains are allocated between unrestricted and endowment funds. Incoming resources All voluntary income is included in income on receipt except where the donor requires the sum to be invested to provide income for the Charity's purposes, in which case it is treated as a permanent endowment. Donations are recognised as income when received. Investment income is included in the accounts on a receivable basis and includes amounts accrued for outstanding refunds of tax deducted at source. Resources expended All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
