STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Structure and Governance The charity is constituted as a Chaditable Incorporated Organisation and is governed by a constitution dated 3 December 2013 and was registered with the Charity Commission as a charity on that date. The Board of Trustees meets at least three times a year and delegates the day-to-day management to a Chief Executive who oversees aspects of governance, fund-raising and charitable activity. Recruitment and appointment of new trustees Currently, new trustees are invited by agreement of the existing trustees having due regard to the skills, knowledge and experience required for the effective administration of the charity. Trustees are appointed for a term of three years and may be reappointed.

4 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE 9 MONTHS ENDED 31ST DECEMBER STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT (continued) Risk management The trustees actively review the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and believe that maintaining adequate levels of reserves, combined with an annual review of controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to manage the significant risks. OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims The objective of Leuka is to relieve sickness and preserve and protect health, in particular, by promoting research into leukaemia and/or related disorders; and providing support directly or indirectly to people affected by leukaemia and or related disorders including the maintenance of specialist treatment units. In March the board of trustees approved a resolution to accept the transfer of the assets, liabilities and undertakings of the charitable trust Leuka (charity number now wound up), together with its subsidiary company Leuka 2000 (Appeals) Limited (now dormant). The transfer took effect at midnight on 31" March and the total funds transferred amounted to f3,785,255. The charity has undertaken to carry on the work of Leuka (the charitable trust) and the funds transferred will be applied to the charitable objectives; any restrictions on the application of those funds will be maintained. Principal Activity Leuka's long-term vision is a future free from cancer. Our mission is to improve the lives of patients with leukaemia, other blood cancers and related disorders. Leuka's niche is funding leukaemia related research by supporting specialist research and clinical staff, as well as supporting the provision of high quality facilities and cutting edge technology needed to undertake relevant research. Leuka's general approach to fundraising is to solicit unrestricted funding to enable maximum flexibility with regard to how funds are applied in line with our overall charitable objects. Given Leuka's size, our aim is to complement and "add value" to work being undertaken by other larger charities and major research bodies. Leuka strives to work in partnership with other agencies where this will result in scientific advantage and the leveraging of more resources for leukaemia related research and care. Leuka supports innovation and aims to augment capacity and capability to enhance patients' wellbeing rather than to fund core day-to-day NHS services. Leuka's funds are not used to substitute for work/services that should be properly funded by public funds. Instead, the charity supports new developments and the provision of additional facilities and services that improve research, clinical care and the patient experience. One of the proudest achievements of the charitable trust Leuka, was funding the building of the Catherine Lewis Centre in West London, which opened in 2002 as a flagship haematology centre. Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust runs the Catherine Lewis Centre and similar Centres of Excellence now exist elsewhere around the UK. Meanwhile, Leuka continues to support world-class research delivered by top scientists and doctors from within environments and institutions of the highest quality around the UK and beyond. Priorities Leuka's focus is leukaemia related research. Supporting both research and specialist clinical management lies at the heart of the charity's work. During the calendar year, due to a reorganisation to make the charity more efficient and effective, we distributed a modest amount of funds relative to our income and reserves. Over the next 3 years Leuka aims to address this by:

5 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE 9 MONTHS ENDED 31ST DECEMBER ~ Developing our programme of charitable activity. ~ Using this increase in charitable activity to leverage an increase in income by investing in additional marketing and fundraising activity. From 2015 we will begin supporting a more varied programme of charitable activity along the lines set out below. The precise details of our grants portfolio will evolve in step with further needs assessment and consultation with the field. Charitable activity - plans In we put in place a more rigorous, transparent system of applying for Leuka funds, with the establishment of an independent scientific panel and the introduction of peer review to guide trustee decisionmaking. In 2015 we will launch a new grants programme in memory of Leuka's founding chairman Professor John Goldman, who was a renowned haematologist and a pioneer in the treatment of leukaemia. The John Goldman Fellowships for Future Science initiative will aim to fund at least five such fellowships each year for the next three years. We will also aim to enhance our other grants programmes to support those with a passion for science and a talent for translating scientific advances into clinical practice. In addition, given Leuka's reserves we are considering supporting at least one more significant initiative over the next three-year period. This is likely to be a research or clinical project in partnership with another leading institution in the field of leukaemia related research. In selecting collaborators Leuka trustees will be guided by our scientific advisors and independent experts. We are also exploring innovative ways to new promote awareness of Leuka's cause and to encourage and reward scientific and clinical excellence Where the charity holds or receives funds restricted to the upkeep of the Catherine Lewis Centre in West London, these will be utilised to help maintain and equip the Centre in keeping with the wishes of the original benefactors. As far as possible Leuka will encourage Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust who are responsible for the Centre to fulfill its obligation to do likewise. Resource mobilisation Our goal over the next three years is to fund the priorities outlined above and to develop a longer-term and sustainable programme of charitable activity. This will require Leuka to achieve increased income targets during this period and beyond. To do this we must retain our focus on fundraising, specifically in those areas of activity that have in the past produced the most income for the least expenditure. At the same time Leuka aims to diversify its income streams to build on those aspects of its current fundraising activity that are working well, whilst at the same time investing in new initiatives, some of which may not see an immediate return in the first months. Looking forward we need to find ways of developing and sustaining new income streams from across a wider regional, national and global constituency than hitherto. Our resource mobilisation programme will therefore be developed accordingly.

6 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE 9 MONTHS ENDED 31ST DECEMBER Improving Governance In Leuka introduced more rigour into its grant making through, where appropriate, a transparent open application process and peer-review. From 2015 the charity will implement clearer guidelines and formal reporting systems, which allow for greater synergy between the fundraising effort and the funded programme, along with better accountability to donors. By the end of Leuka had put in place an Independent Scientific Committee, made up of world-class experts whose role is to independently access applications for research funding, as appropriate. From 2015 only research and initiatives that have been independently assessed as worthy of funding and recommended to Leuka trustees will be considered for financial support. This approach will ensure better governance and accountability. Furthermore, Leuka's strategy to invite applications for research funds from across UK academic or clinical institutions and to introduce a peer-review process will make its funds eligible to attract matched funds from the Charity Research Support Fund meaning Leuka funds will be able to make more impact. Grants made following open competition mean the recipient institutions will also be eligible for the Charity Research Support Fund (universities - HEFCE) top-up subsidy. In 2015 Leuka will look at applying for membership of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC). Membership criteria require the charity to adopt a research strategy and establishment an Independent Scientific Panel to guide its decision-making. FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policy The trustees ensure that reserves are maintained at a level that enables the charity to meet its ongoing grant making commitments and its operating costs as well as managing financial risk and fluctuating income levels as its seeks to develop new income streams on a long term basis. A designated fund for grant making has been created and the trustees have transferred sufficient funds from the general reserves to meet the anticipated grant making programme for the coming financial year. Investment policy and objectives The trustees have adopted a cautious and prudent approach to investment of its funds and in order to ensure appropriately diversified investments have agreed for the charity's funds be split between (1) short and medium term bank money market deposits and (2) a portfolio of investments managed by two firms of stockbrokers. This split of resources is designed to balance potential returns with appropriate risk as well as ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet cash flow requirements. The charity has a policy of not investing in tobacco companies. Financial position Due to the change in legal structure, these accounts cover the 9 month period ended 31 December and show total incoming resources of 5395,492 with total resources expended of E511,942. After taking other recognised gains/losses into consideration, the net movement in funds for the period was net outgoing resources of 674, 331. The total funds transferred from Leuka, the charitable trust, amounted to E3,785,255 and the total funds held at the end of the period therefore amounted to F3,710,924. PUBLIC BENEFIT The trustees have complied with their duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to guidelines issued by the Charity Commission. The charity funds research into the causes and treatment of leukaemia and considers that its work is of benefit to the public.

7 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE 9 MONTHS ENDED 31ST DECEMBER STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial 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, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those 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 judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which 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 Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.

Fund raising income is accounted for gross. Interest is recorded when it is received. Dividends are accounted for when due, and tax recoverable on such income is accounted for on the basis of the repayment due in the fiscal year ending in that accounting year. Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at the period end. (c) Resources expended Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and liabilities are recognised as expenditure when there is a legal obligation committing the charity to the expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be made and the obligation can be measured.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to an activity including support and office costs they have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of the resource estimated time spent or resource used. Grants payable are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the charity's objectives. Unconditional grant offers are accrued once the recipient has been advised of the grant award. Where grant awards are subject to performance conditions that are outside of the control of the charity these are accrued when the recipients has been notified of the grant award. Multi-year grants are recognised at their present value where payments are due over more than one year from the date of the award, there are no unfulfilled conditions which are within the control of the charity and the effect of discounting is material.
