THE BENTHAM-MOXON TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORTFor the year ended 31 December 2012

The Trustees of The Bentham-Moxon Trust present their report and financial statements for the year ended31 December 2012. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the Trustcomply with current statutory requirements, the requirements of the Trust's governing document and theprovisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) 'Accountin9 and Reporting by Charities(revised 2005).'

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Legal structure and governing documents

The Bentham-Moxon Trust was founded by a Scheme of the Charity Commissioners for England and Walessealed on 18th September 1984, combining the Charity of Geor9e Bentham, founded by will on 11thDecember 1884 and the Charity of James Edward and Louisa Sarah Moxon Memorial Fund, founded by willon 20th September 1920 and 22nd July 1930 respectively. All the charities and funds administered by theTrustees are treated as a single charity for purposes of accounting and registration with the CharityCommission. The Trustees must, however, ensure that the funds for each charity are spent for the purposesof the charity.

The governing documents are the 1984 Scheme and requests made by the donors of the individual funds.The Trustees have created a mission statement that embraces all the funds' objectives and sets out the long-term objectives of the Trust.

The charities and funds that make up Bentham-Moxon are listed below:

General FundsGeorge Bentham Trust; James Edward and Louisa Sarah Moxon Memorial Fund; Florence HamiltonMemorial Fund; Miss D R Butcher Bequest; Stanley Smith Gift (Other Purposes) Fund; Eleanor ConstanceBor Trust; Kew Bicentenary Fund; Kazimierz & Winifred E A Kaminski Memorial Fund; Mr. William RonaldMarshall Bequest; Jan Gillet Bequest; the Metcalfe Cup; Donald Dring Memorial Prize; Henry ldris MatthewsMemorial Travel Scholarship Fund; John Gilbert Prize; Landsmans Bookshop Prize; Perkins Fund, for theuse and benefit of the Herbarium at Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; Pat Brenan Memorial Fund; FrankKingdon-Ward Fund; and George Conrad Johnson Fund.

Restricted FundsB A Krukoff Fund for the study of African Botany, Stanley Smith Gift (Travel and Expeditions) Fund andMarjorie Hurley Bequest for the Conservation of Wild Flowers at Kew and Wakehurst Place.

Endowment FundsSainsbury Orchid Trust Fund for the Sainsbury Orchid Fellowship, Conservation Officer and support oforchid work at Kew.

Governance and management

The Trust is managed by the Trustees, who delegate day-to-day responsibility to the Secretary/Treasurer.The approval of all financial transactions is evidenced by two signatories from the three authorisedsignatories, two Trustees and the Secretary/Treasurer.

The Trustees meet twice a year, currently in June and November. At the November meeting the Trusteesreview grant applications and make grants for projects that further the work of the Royal Botanic Gardens,Kew. The size of the Trust makes it possible for all the Trustees to take part in the grant decisions.

THE BENTHAM-MOXON TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORTFor the year ended 31 December 2012

Statement on risk review

The Trustees consider that the major risk facing the Trust is the potential reduction in value of itsinvestments. The major part of the Trust's investments is held in COIF Equities, the pool fund managed byCCLA with the smaller part invested in a segregated fund managed by Rathbone Investment ManagementLimited. The Trust now has the benefit of advice from two separate investment teams and, for part of itsinvestments, is able to determine the asset allocation. The Trustees review these arrangements annually.

Appointment and training of Trustees

As the Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew wished to resign as a Trustee in 2011, the Trusteesagreed a change in the composition and appointment of the board of Trustees. In order to keep the balanceof three Trustees with direct experience of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and three drawn from outsidethe organisation, the Director now appoints two Co-optative Trustees from Kew's senior management(previously he appointed one). The Keeper of the Herbarium, Library, Art and Archives remains an ex-officioTrustee. The two Co-optative Trustees appointed by the Director are currently Rebecca Bower and Dr. PaulSmith. The other Co-optative Trustees are appointed by the Bentham-Moxon Trustees. Co-optative Trusteesserve for five years but can be reappointed. The small size of the Trust makes it possible for new Trusteesto understand quickly the work of the Trust. Prior to becoming a Co-optative Trustee, a new Trustee has theopportunity to discuss the Trust with the Keeper and the Secretary/Treasurer and is given the previousyear's minutes and board meeting papers. The Trust is fortunate in that it is able to appoint Trustees whohave considerable knowledge of the work of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and other charities. TheTrustees therefore see no need for formal Trustee training but keeps this under review.

Relationship to other charities

The Trust is related to another charity, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew by virtue of the objects of bothorganisations being related and because the Keeper of the Herbarium, Library, Art and Archives is an ex-officio Trustee and two of the Co-optative Trustees are appointed by the Director from the Royal BotanicGardens, Kew senior management.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Trust's mission is to provide financial support for botanical collections and research and publication thatfurther the work of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

In furtherance of the Trust's objectives, grants are made in the following three main areas:

Plant collection and field research expeditions

Overseas botanists visiting or working at RBG, Kew

Travel to botanical institutions and attending conferences

The Krukoff Fund continued to support Kew's work on African Botany by financing the Krukoff Curator ofAfrican Botany, the editorial and production costs of Flora Zambesiaca publications and freelance work onthe Flora of Tropical East Africa. It has also proved possible to make two awards for African projects in theannual awards scheme.

In 2012 the annual income from the Sainsbury Orchid Trust Fund supported the Sainsbury Orchid Fellowand the start of a long term orchid project in Madagascar.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Trust's total incoming resources for the year rose slightly to £247,039 from £246,909 in the previousyear. This is mainly attributable to an increase in bank interest and dividend income from investments whichtotalled £242,659 (2011 - £238,990).

Total resources expended increased to £234,420 from £229,396 in 2011 - a rise of £5,024, or 2.2% - mainlydue to the charge for the Krukoff Curator salary being higher than the previous year.

The Trust achieved net incoming resources for the year of £12,619 (2011 - £17,513), before investmentgains of £488,462 (2011 . losses £312,065). As a result, total funds rose from £5,363,214 to £5,864,295.The Trust has substantial liquid funds and the balance at the bank is sufficient to meet its grantcommitments.

In 2012 the capital value of the Trust's investments rose to £5,751,341 from £5,267,252 (2011), a gain of9%. The Trust's fund managers forecast that equity markets will remain volatile but should continue theirrecovery.

THE BENTIIAM-MOXON TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORTFor the year ended 31 December 2012

Reserves policy

The Trust has two types of unrestricted reserves, those held in the COIF Equity Fund and the segregatedfunds managed by Rathbones and those represented by non-investment assets. The former have beendesignated by the Trustees to be retained by the Trust in order to maintain the value of its annual grant-making in real terms, the main activity of the Trust. The latter, the unrestricted non-investment assets, ortree reserves', are held as working capital and to fund minor unforeseen circumstances. The Trustees haveagreed that the free reserves should be maintained at the level of approximately three to six months' non-grant expenditure, in 2012 equal to approximately £16,000 to £32,000. The tree reserves held at the yearend were £25,133.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The Trustees set themselves the following objectives for 2013:

1. To maintain the Trust's emphasis on its annual awards scheme by using a high proportion of theTrust's discretionary annual income on it, together with the use of restricted funds where appropriate(Stanley Smith Travel, Marjorie Hurley Wildflowers at Kew and Wakehurst Place and the Krukotf Fundfor work in Tropical Africa).

2. To generate good quality applications for grants through the promotion of the Trust's scheme to Kewstaff and associated botanists and horticulturalists.

3. To support the students at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew School of Horticulture.

4. To continue to use the Krukoff Fund to further Kew's work in Africa through the funding of the KrukoffCurator of Atrican Botany, to publish Flora Zambesiaca and the start of a new collaborative project inMozambique.

5. To extend the range of work carried out with support trom the Sainsbury Orchid Fund, with a long termOrchid research Programme in Madagascar.

6. To support a bee and plant conservation programme at Kew Gardens with the income from theMarjorie Hurley Fund.

7. To administer for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Foundation and The Amar-Francis & Foster-Jenkins Trust an annual award scheme, the Emily Holmes Memorial Scholarships, for botanistsworking for post graduate qualifications.

8. To maintain CCLA and Rathbones as investment management teams.

The Trustees will maintain the present emphasis on the Trust's annual grant awards, continuing to supportfield collections and research that furthers the work of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The Krukoff Fund iscommitted to supporting African Botany and FZ publications. The annual income from the Sainsbury OrchidFund will continue to support the work of the Sainsbury Orchid Fellow. While the main focus of the SainsburyOrchid fund will remain supporting the work of the Sainsbury Orchid Fellow, other orchid projects, to bedetermined by the Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, will be undertaken when funds permit.

The effects of events relating to the year ended 31 December 2012 which occurred before the date ofapproval of the financial statements by the Trustees have been included in the financial statements to theextent required to show a true and fair view of the state of affairs at 31 December 2012 and the results for theyear ended on that date.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particularpurposes. An Endowment fund has been created, reflecting the value of unrestricted investments held togenerate income.

Endowment funds represent non-expendable capital funds. The income generated from such funds is utilisedin accordance with the directions of the donor and is treated as movements on restricted funds.

Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restriction imposed by the donorsor which have been raised by the Trust for specific purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund isdescribed in the Trustees' Report.

c) Incoming resourcesIncoming resources represents the total income during the year comprising donations, investment income,book salesand royalties.

d) Resources expendedResources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis.

Grants which are made to individuals to carry out research projects are regarded as a grant to an institutionwith which the individual is connected rather than as a grant to the individual. Grants made to individualsinclude only those that are made for the direct benefit of the individuals who receive them. Grants payableare recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when the liability is committed and is then adjusted ifthe award is amended before the date the grant is paid.

Expenditure which is directly attributable to specific activities has been included in these categories. Wherecosts are attributable to more than one activity, they have been apportioned across the cost categories on abasis consistent with the use of these resources. In particular support costs have been allocated betweencharitable expenditure and governance costs of the Trust, in proportion to staff costs on those activities,which in turn has been apportioned on an estimated time basis. Governance costs include the costs of auditandstrategic management of the Trust.
