Wellcome Trust Finance plc
Annual Report and Financial Statements
Wellcome Trust and Wellcome Trust Finance plc (a wholly owned
subsidiary of The Wellcome Trust Limited as trustee of the Wellcome
Trust) announce that they have each published their Annual Report
and Financial Statements for the year to 30 September 2020 today. A
copy of each document is available on the Wellcome Trust website
.
Wellcome Trust has today issued the following press release in
connection with the publication of its Annual Report and Financial
Statements:
Covid-19 has been an extraordinary challenge for everyone this
year and has highlighted that the charitable mission of the
Wellcome Trust has never been more important. Wellcome has been at
the heart of the global scientific response to the pandemic,
generating, supporting, coordinating and funding vital research.
The mission is entirely funded from our investment portfolio, so we
are pleased to report that our investment portfolio recorded a
total return of 12.3% per cent, or 11.2% after inflation, for the
year to 30 September 2020. Charitable expenditure in support of our
mission was GBP1.1 billion and the investment base rose to
approximately GBP29.1 billion.
We have returned 212% per cent cumulative (12.1% per cent
annualised) in the decade since September 2010, recording positive
returns in each of these years. Returns have been 340% per cent
cumulative (7.7% per cent annualised) over 20 years. Since the
inception of our investment portfolio in 1985, it has provided a
total return averaging 13.7% per cent a year.
We maintain a AAA/Aaa (stable) credit rating. Leverage(1) stood
at 7.2% at 30(th) September. There were no new bond issues during
the financial year.
On the back of this performance, we aim to maintain the real
level of charitable spending for our core activities at current
record levels at least until 2022. We will continue to review
future allocations in the light of the performance of the endowment
and the pipeline of projects suitable for funding.
We saw positive returns in each of the asset classes in which we
invest (public equity, private equity, venture capital, hedge funds
and property). We also saw meaningful realised gains from hedging
activities over both equity indices and foreign exchange markets.
All have maintained their strong long-term track records. Sterling
strength was a slight headwind to returns this year. Our Sterling
exposure remained slightly above our minimum 15% level throughout
the period.
Baroness Manningham-Buller, Chair of the Wellcome Trust, said:
"I am delighted to report a year of exceptionally strong gains,
despite a tumultuous period of extreme disruption caused by the
Covid-19 virus . The pandemic has shown that Wellcome's mission has
never been more important. The strong long-term performance of the
investment portfolio has provided Wellcome with the means to spend
over GBP10 billion on our charitable activities since I joined the
Board. We are grateful to the Investment Team for making this
possible."
Nick Moakes, Chief Investment Officer and Managing Partner of
the Investment Division at Wellcome, added: "The portfolio has
performed extremely well in very challenging circumstances. Our
focus has been, firstly on providing ample liquidity to fund the
mission, and secondly on ensuring that the portfolio emerged from
the crisis in even better shape. Previous sales of low conviction
positions and selected portfolio hedges early in the year gave us
plenty of liquidity and put us in an excellent place to benefit
from the rebound in markets after the aggressive policy response in
March. However, double digit real returns are the exception not the
norm. We remain prepared for a more difficult environment in the
future when extraordinary global economic support measures
eventually get withdrawn."
Wellcome Trust Finance plc further announces that a copy of its
Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 30
September 2020 has been submitted to the National Storage
Mechanism, and will shortly be available for inspection at
https://data.fca.org.uk/#/nsm/nationalstoragemechanism .

Annual Report and Financial Statements
Year ended 30 September 2020
Strategic Report
The directors of Wellcome Trust Finance plc (the "Company" and
the "Directors") present their strategic report for the year ended
30 September 2020 (the "Strategic Report").
Strategy and objectives
The principal activity of the Company is to meet its obligations
relating to the bonds that it has previously issued and admitted to
trading on the London Stock Exchange and to continue to lend the
proceeds to other group entities.
Review of the business and future developments
The Company issued two tranches of bonds: GBP550 million on 25
July 2006 of 4.625% Guaranteed Bonds due July 2036 and GBP275
million on 28 May 2009 of 4.750% Guaranteed Bonds due May 2021 (the
"Bonds"). The Bonds are admitted to trading on the London Stock
Exchange. The obligations of the Company in relation to the Bonds
are governed by Trust Deeds between the Company, the Wellcome Trust
Limited, as trustee of the Wellcome Trust, and Citicorp Trustee
Company Limited, as the trustee for the holders of the Bonds. The
payment of all amounts due in respect of the Bonds is
unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed pursuant to the terms of
a guarantee given by The Wellcome Trust Limited, as corporate
trustee of the Wellcome Trust; the guarantee is part of the Trust
Deeds.
The Company loaned the proceeds from the Bonds to Wellcome Trust
group (the "Group") undertakings and receives interest on these
loans.
On 15 May 2020 the GBP245.5 million loan made by the Company to
Wellcome Trust Investment Limited Partnership was novated by
Wellcome Trust Investment Limited Partnership to The Wellcome Trust
Limited as trustee for the Wellcome Trust. As this was novated to
another group entity, there has been no impact on Wellcome Trust
Finance Plc's financial position.
In May 2021 the Company will receive repayment of the GBP275
million principal and accrued interest arising from the Loan to
group undertakings called 'Loan (new bond)' and the Company will
pay the bondholders the GBP275 million principal and accrued
interest due on the May 2021 Bonds. The Company will continue to
receive interest on the other loans to Group undertakings and pay
interest on the July 2036 Bond liabilities for the foreseeable
future. The Company has not issued any bonds during the year and
does not expect to issue any bonds in the near future.
Results for the year
The Company made a profit of GBP3,434,938 (2019: GBP 3,404,231 )
during the year ended 30 September 2020. As at 30 September 2020
the Company had net assets of GBP137,500,000 (2019:
GBP137,500,000).
Key performance indicators
Due to the nature of the Company's operations, the key
performance measures are that the Company meets all its legal
obligations to the Bond holders and that the Company achieves
sufficient return on its assets to be profitable before any
donations to the Wellcome Trust as Gift Aid. During the year the
Company met all its legal obligations to the Bond holders and made
a net profit before donations to Wellcome Trust as Gift Aid.
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Directors of the Company implement policies to manage the
inherent risks relating to the financial assets and liabilities of
the Company.
The Directors have assessed for each financial asset and
liability: the market risk, currency risk, interest rate risk,
liquidity risk, and credit risk exposure. The Company is not
exposed to significant market risk or interest rate risk
Financial risk management objectives and policies
(continued)
because the Company's main financial assets have fixed
redemption values, fixed interest rates and fixed maturity dates,
which match those of its financial liabilities. The currency risk
exposure is limited to the payment of one administrative expense
amount per annum. The liquidity risk of the Company is mitigated by
the matching of the cash flows from the Company's financial assets
and liabilities. Credit risk exposure of the Company's loans is
reduced by the Company only advancing loans to entities within the
Group. Credit risk exposure of the Company's remaining financial
assets is reduced by stringent selection procedures for any
external counterparties with which the Company transacts.
The risks associated with Brexit are considered at a group level
and documented within the Risk Management section of the Wellcome
Trust Annual Report and Financial Statements 2020 which are
available from Wellcome's website ( wellcome.org/what-we-do/reports
).
COVID 19 has not caused a material risk to the assets held,
although the impact of COVID 19 has influenced the economic
environment.
The Company's internal control and risk management is undertaken
as part of the Wellcome Trust's processes, which are detailed in
the Wellcome Trust Annual Report and Financial Statements,
available at wellcome.org/what-we-do/reports . The key elements of
this specifically applicable to the Company are:
-- delegation: there is a clear organisational structure with
documented lines of authority and responsibility for control and
documented procedures for reporting decisions, actions and issues;
and
-- review: the Group Audit and Risk Committee reviews the
effectiveness of the Company's internal control, its financial
reporting process, the independence of its statutory auditors and
its compliance with relevant statutory and finance regulations and
advises the Directors of the Company of any relevant matters.
Section 172 statement
The Board of Directors, in line with their duties under s172 of
the Companies Act 2006, act in a way they consider, in good faith,
would be most likely to promote the success of the Company for the
benefit of its members as a whole, and in doing so have regard to a
range of matters when making decisions for the long term.
The key stakeholders of the Company are considered to be
Wellcome Trust (as the sole member), the other Wellcome Trust Group
entities and the holders of the Bonds. We ensure that the
requirements of s172(1) Companies Act 2006 are met and the
interests of our stakeholder groups are considered through a
combination of the following:
-- The Board sets the Company's purpose and strategy which
considers the long-term sustainable success of the Company and our
impact on key stakeholders. The key purpose is discussed under Key
performance indicators above.
-- The Board's risks management procedures identify the
principal risks facing the Company, and the mitigations in place to
manage the impact of these risks. This is discussed under Financial
risk management objectives and policies above.
-- The company has no employees and no carbon generating assets.
The Wellcome Trust group's consideration of Social Responsibility,
including Climate change and energy transition is discussed in
their Annual Report and Financial Statements.
Corporate and social responsibility
Due to the nature of its activities the Company has a minimal
environmental impact. The Group's approach to social responsibility
is detailed in the Wellcome Trust Annual Report and Financial
Statements, which are available at wellcome.org/what-we-do/reports
.

report and the audited Financial Statements for the year ended 30
September 2020.
Future developments
These are discussed in the Strategic Report.
Going Concern and Viability
The Directors have assessed the viability of the Company and
have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence and to meet any
commitments as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Thus, they
continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual
financial statements. This assessment has considered the
significant risks laid out in the Risk Management section in the
Strategic Report, as well as the significant accounting estimates
and judgements in note 2. The Directors have considered the impact
of Covid-19 on the Company and have concluded that there are no
material uncertainties related to these events or conditions that
may cast doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
The Board of Governors of Wellcome Trust assess the viability of
the group as a whole and this is laid out in the Going Concern and
Viability statement in the Financial Review section of the Wellcome
Trust Annual Report and Financial Statements 2020 which are
available from Wellcome's website ( wellcome.org/what-we-do/reports

Gift Aid to the Wellcome Trust.
Financial risk management objectives and policies

Statement of Directors' responsibilities
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic
Report, Directors' Report and the Financial Statements in

Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom
Accounting Standards and applicable law), including FRS 102 the
Financial Reporting Standards applicable in U.K. and Republic of
Ireland. Under company law the Directors 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 Company and of
the profit or loss of the Company for that period. In preparing
these Financial Statements, the Directors are required to:
-- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been
followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and
explained in the Financial Statements;
-- prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis
unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will
continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting
records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's
transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the
financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that
the Financial Statements 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 Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity
of the company's information on its parent undertaking's (the
Wellcome Trust's) website. Legislation in the United Kingdom
governing the preparation and dissemination of Financial Statements
may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The Directors consider that the Annual Report and Financial
Statements, taken as a whole, is fair, balanced and understandable
and provides the information necessary for shareholders to assess
the Company's performance, business model and strategy.
Each of the Directors, whose names are listed in the Directors'
Report confirm that, to the best of their knowledge:
-- the Financial Statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law),
including FRS 102 the Financial Reporting Standards applicable in
U.K. and Republic of Ireland, give a true and fair view of the
assets, liabilities, financial position and result of the Company;
and
-- the Directors' Report contained in this section of the Annual
Report includes a fair review of the development and performance of
the business and the position of the company, together with a
description of the principal risks and uncertainties that it
faces.
Statement of disclosure of information to auditor
Each Director in office at the date of approving this report
confirms that so far as the Director is aware, there is no relevant
audit information of which the Company's auditor is unaware and
each Director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken
as a Director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant
audit information and to establish that the Company's auditors is
aware of that information.
Independent auditors
In accordance with Section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a
resolution dated 14 December 2020 was passed by the members
re-appointing Deloitte LLP as auditors of the Company.
Events after the end of the reporting period

INDEPENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WELLCOME TRUST
FINANCE PLC
Report on the audit of the financial statements
1. Opinion
In our opinion the financial statements of Wellcome Trust
Finance plc (the 'company'):
-- give a true and fair view of the state of the company's
affairs as at 30 September 2020 and of the its profit for the year
then ended;
-- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial
Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable
in the UK and Republic of Ireland"; and
-- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
We have audited the financial statements which comprise:
-- the statement of income and retained earnings;
-- the balance sheet; and
-- the statement of accounting policies; and
-- the related notes 1 to 16.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their
preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting
Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland" (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice).
2. Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International
Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the
auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial
statements section of our report.
We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial
statements in the UK, including the Financial Reporting Council's
(the 'FRC's') Ethical Standard as applied to listed public interest
entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities
in accordance with these requirements. We confirm that the
non-audit services prohibited by the FRC's Ethical Standard were
not provided to the company.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
3. Summary of our audit approach
Key audit matters The key audit matter that we identified in the current
year was:
* The amortisation of bond liabilities and
collectability of intercompany loans which is
consistent with the prior year.
Within this report, the key audit matter is identified
as follows: Newly identified
Increased level of risk
Similar level of risk
Decreased level of risk
------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------
Materiality The materiality that we used for the financial statements
was GBP19.30m which was determined on the basis of
2% of total assets.
------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------
Scoping Audit work to respond to the risks of material misstatement
was performed directly by the audit engagement team.
------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------
Significant changes There are no significant changes in our approach
in our approach
------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------
4. Conclusions relating to going concern
We are required by ISAs (UK) to report in respect of the We have nothing to report in respect of these matters.
following matters where:
* the directors' use of the going concern basis of
accounting in preparation of the financial statements
is not appropriate; or
* the directors have not disclosed in the financial
statements any identified material uncertainties that
may cast significant doubt about the company's
ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis
of accounting for a period of at least twelve months
from the date when the financial statements are
authorised for issue.
5. Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional
judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements of the current period and include the most significant
assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to
fraud) that we identified. These matters included those which had
the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation
of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the
engagement team.
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the
financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these
matters.
5.1. Amortisation of bond liabilities and collectability of intercompany loans
Key audit matter The company has external debt (bonds listed on the
description London Stock Exchange) of GBP825m as at 30 September
2020. This comprises two bond issues with the following
terms:
GBP550m which is repayable on 24 July 2036 at an
interest rate of 4.625% per annum; and
GBP275m which is repayable on 28 May 2021 at an interest
of 4.75% per annum.
The company also has receivables totalling GBP951m
due from its parent.
These bonds and intercompany loans are highly material
to the company as they account for 99.9% of total
liabilities and 99.9% of total assets of the company
respectively.
The bond liabilities are stated at amortised cost
using the effective interest method and requires
the calculation of the effective interest rate for
their measurement on the balance sheet as at 30 September
2020. This is performed in an amortisation schedule
prepared by management. This calculation has a material
impact on the carrying value of the bond liabilities.
In addition, the ability of the company to repay
the external debt when it matures and pay the interest
to the bond holders is dependent on the future financial
performance of the parent and their ability to repay
the intercompany loans to the company. The basis
for this collectability relies on accurate assumptions
in the future forecasts of the parent and a liquidity
position which does not indicate the need for impairment.
Loans to group undertakings are disclosed in note
8 and bond liabilities in note 9, as well as the
accounting policies note.
----------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
How the scope With regards to the bond liabilities, we:
of our audit responded * reviewed the amortisation schedule prepared by
to the key audit management in regards to amortisation of the bonds;
matter
* obtained the original bond prospectuses to assess
whether the terms of the bonds agree to the inputs
used by management to calculate the effective
interest rate;
* recalculated the period to period effective interest
and the carried forward balance of the bond
liabilities until maturity;
* reviewed the disclosures in the financial statements
relating to bond liabilities as at 30 September 2020.
With regards to the collectability of the loans given
to the parent, we:
* performed a credit risk analysis by assessing the
current net asset and liquidity position of the
parent;
* obtained the cash flow forecast of the parent and
assessed whether the assumptions in the forecast were
reasonable;
* assessed whether the cash flow forecast and the
liquidity position of the parent suggested any
indicators of impairment.
----------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
Key observations As a result of our procedures, we concluded that
the amortisation of bond liabilities and collectability
of intercompany loans are appropriately stated.
----------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------
6. Our application of materiality
6.1. Materiality
We define materiality as the magnitude of misstatement in the
financial statements that makes it probable that the economic
decisions of a reasonably knowledgeable person would be changed or
influenced. We use materiality both in planning the scope of our
audit work and in evaluating the results of our work.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined materiality
for the financial statements as a whole as follows:
Financial statements
----------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Materiality GBP19.30m (2019: GBP19.28m)
----------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basis for determining materiality 2% of total assets (2019: 2% of total assets)
----------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rationale for the benchmark applied Total assets is considered as an appropriate benchmark as the principal activity
of the entity
is to issue bonds on the London Stock Exchange to provide financing to the
Wellcome Trust
Group and therefore it is the key area of interest for the users of the financial
statements.
----------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6.2. Performance materiality
We set performance materiality at a level lower than materiality
to reduce the probability that, in aggregate, uncorrected and
undetected misstatements exceed the materiality for the financial
statements as a whole. Performance materiality was set at 70% of
materiality for the 2020 audit (2019: 70%).
In determining performance materiality, we considered the
following factors:
-- our risk assessment, including our assessment of the overall control environment; and
-- our past experience of the audit, which has indicated a low
number of corrected and uncorrected misstatements identified in
prior periods
6.3. Error reporting threshold
We agreed with the Audit and Risk Committee of the Wellcome
Trust, which oversees the group entities that we would report to
them all audit differences in excess of GBP965k (2019: GBP964k), as
well as differences below that threshold that, in our view,
warranted reporting on qualitative grounds. We also report to the
Audit and Risk Committee on disclosure matters that we identified
when assessing the overall presentation of the financial
statements.
7. An overview of the scope of our audit
We have performed an audit of the company only and the company
is located in the UK. The audit work to respond to the risks of
material misstatement was performed directly by the audit
engagement team. Our audit was scoped by obtaining an understanding
of the entity and its environment, including internal control, and
assessing the risks of material misstatement. Based on our scoping,
we have not relied upon IT controls or taken controls reliance in
performing our work.
8. Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The
other information comprises the information included in the annual
report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's
report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other
information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated
in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion
thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our
responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent
with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the
audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent
material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there
is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a
material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the
work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material
misstatement of this other information, we are required to report
that fact.
We have nothing to report in respect of these matters.
9. Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities
statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true
and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors
determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to
fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are
responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a
going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the
directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
10. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is
a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from
fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial
statements.
Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable
of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance
with laws and regulations are set out below.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of
the financial statements is located on the FRC's website at:
www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities . This description forms
part of our auditor's report.
11. Extent to which the audit was considered capable of
detecting irregularities, including fraud
We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks,
including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
11.1. Identifying and assessing potential risks related to irregularities
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in
respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with
laws and regulations, we considered the following:
-- the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance
-- results of our enquiries of management and the Audit and Risk
Committee, about their own identification and assessment of the
risks of irregularities;
-- Any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the
company's documentation of its policies and procedures relating
to:
o identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and
regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of
non-compliance;
o detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether
they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
o the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to
risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;
-- the matters discussed among the engagement team and involving
relevant internal specialists, including IT specialists regarding
how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any
potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities
and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud. In
common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are required to perform
specific procedures to respond to the risk of management
override.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory
framework that the company operates in, focusing on provisions of
those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the
determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this
context included the UK Companies Act and listing rules for the
company's listed bonds.
11.2. Audit response to risks identified
As a result of performing the above, we did not identify any key
audit matters related to the potential risk of fraud or
non-compliance with laws and regulations.
Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the
following:
-- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to
supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of
relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effect
on the financial statements;
-- enquiring of management, the Audit and Risk Committee and
in-house legal counsel concerning actual and potential litigation
and claims;
-- performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or
unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material
misstatement due to fraud;
-- reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance,
reviewing internal audit reports and reviewing correspondence with
HMRC; and
-- in addressing the risk of fraud through management override
of controls, testing the appropriateness of journal entries and
other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making
accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and
evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions
that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.
We also communicated relevant identified laws and regulations
and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members including
internal specialists, and remained alert to any indications of
fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the
audit.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
12. Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

-- the information given in the strategic report and the
directors' report for the financial year for which the financial
statements are prepared is consistent with the financial
statements; and
-- the strategic report and the directors' report have been
prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company
and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have
not identified any material misstatements in the strategic report
or the directors' report.

-- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns.
We have nothing to report in respect of these matters.

Wellcome Trust Finance plc
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 September 2020
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with
applicable United Kingdom law and United Kingdom accounting
standards. The accounting policies which have been adopted
consistently in the current and prior year are described below.
(a) Statement of compliance
The Company, a public limited company, is incorporated in
England and Wales, United Kingdom under the Companies Act. The
address of the registered office is given in the Administrative
Details. The nature of the Company's operations and its principal
activities are set out in the Strategic Report.
The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary undertaking of the
Wellcome Trust through its corporate trustee, The Wellcome Trust
Limited, and is included in the Consolidated Financial Statements
of the Wellcome Trust, which are publicly available.
The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis as well as in accordance with applicable UK accounting
standards (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including
Financial Reporting Standard 102 the Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland ("FRS
102"). Refer to the Directors' report for more information.
The functional and presentational currency of the Company is
pounds Sterling. Most of transactions undertaken by the Company are
denominated in pounds Sterling.
The Company meets the definition of a qualifying entity under
FRS 102 and has therefore taken advantage of the disclosure
exemptions available to it. Exemptions have been taken in relation
to financial instruments, the presentation of a Statement of Cash
Flows and the Related Party disclosures. The equivalent disclosures
relating to the exemptions have been included in the Consolidated
Financial Statements of the Wellcome Trust.
(b) Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of
these financial statements are set out below. These policies have
been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise
stated.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical
cost convention. The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with FRS 102 requires the use of certain significant
accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its
judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting
policies. The areas involving more judgement or complexity, or
areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the
financial statements are disclosed in note 2.
(i) Turnover
Turnover is interest derived from loans to Wellcome Trust
Investment Limited Partnership, an undertaking in the Group, and
the Wellcome Trust. Income is calculated using the effective
interest rate method and is recognised on an accruals basis.
(ii) Cost of sales
Expenditure is the effective interest on the Bond liabilities
(as described in Bond Liabilities section below) and is recognised
on an accruals basis.
(iii) Gift Aid
The amount of Gift Aid donation recognised for each period is
equal to the estimated taxable profits of the Company for that
period at the time of the approval of the financial statements.
Gift Aid donation payments made within nine months after the
balance sheet date are equal to the estimated taxable profits of
the Company for the period at the time of payment less any interim
donations made in the year. Any difference between the Gift Aid
donation accrued and Gift Aid donations paid is recognised at the
time of payment.
(iv) Taxation
Although subject to taxation, the Company does not pay UK
Corporation Tax because its policy is to donate taxable profits as
Gift Aid to the Wellcome Trust.
Subject to the above, current tax, including UK corporation tax
and foreign tax, is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or
recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
(v) Financial assets and liabilities
The Company has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in
respect of financial instruments. Financial assets and financial
liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified
according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered
into. All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured
at transaction price (including transaction costs), and
subsequently at amortised cost.
Financial assets which qualify as basic financial instruments as
laid out in FRS 102 paragraph 11.8, including trade and other
receivables and cash and bank balances, are subsequently valued at
amortised cost and assessed for impairment at the end of each
reporting period. Financial assets and liabilities are only offset
in the Balance Sheet when, and only when, a legally enforceable
right exists to set off the recognised amounts and the Group
intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset
and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when (a) the
contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset
expire or are settled, (b) the Company transfers to another party
substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the
financial asset, or (c) the Company, despite having retained some,
but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has
transferred control of the asset to another party .
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation
specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Loans to Group undertakings
The loans are not quoted in an active market. The loans were
recognised initially at fair value and after initial recognition
are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method.
Bond Liabilities
The initial measurement of the liability is equal to the
proceeds of issue less all transaction costs directly attributable
to the issue for each Bond. After initial recognition the liability
is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The Company is not required to, and therefore does not, recognise
any adjustment to fair value in the Balance Sheet and Statement of
Income and Retained Earnings.
(vi) Foreign Currencies
Transactions in currencies other than Sterling are recorded at
the rate of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions.
At each balance sheet date, recorded monetary assets and
liabilities and balances carried at fair value that are denominated
in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on
the balance sheet date. All realised and unrealised profits and
losses arising on exchange are included in net profit or loss for
the period.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF
ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based
on historical experience and other factors, including expectations
of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
Accounting judgements
The Company has made no significant accounting judgements in the
application of the Company's accounting policies that have a
significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial
year.
Significant accounting estimates and assumptions
The Company makes estimates and assumptions to produce the
Financial Statements. The resulting accounting estimates will
seldom equal the related actual results.
The Company has made no significant accounting estimates and
assumptions in the application of the Company's accounting policies
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
financial year.

Company for their services. There were no Directors for whom
retirement benefits provided by the Company are accruing under a

there were no Directors who exercised share options during the year
or became entitled to shares under a long-term incentive
scheme.

The profits of the Company for the year will be paid under Gift
Aid to the Wellcome Trust, a charity registered in England under
the UK Charities Act 2011 (registered charity number 210183). There
is no difference between retained profit/(loss) and taxable
profits, so there is no provision required for deferred tax.

The Bond liabilities are stated at the amortised cost using the
effective interest method for the GBP550 million 4.625% Guaranteed
Bonds due July 2036 ("GBP550 million Bonds"), issued by the Company
on 25 July 2006, and the GBP275 million 4.750% Guaranteed Bonds due
May 2021 ("GBP275 million Bonds"), issued by the Company on 28 May
2009. The Bond liabilities falling due within one year are the
unpaid coupon interest accrued for the year to 30 September 2020
for each Bond. The interest payment to the Bond holders is at a
fixed rate of 4.625% per annum (GBP550 million Bonds) and 4.750%
per annum (GBP275 million Bonds) and is paid in arrears on 25 July
or 28 May respectively each year until repayment of the Bond
principals. The bond repayments and amounts receivable from group
companies are aligned in timing for liquidity management. Effective
interest on bond liabilities is shown as Cost of Sales in the
Statement of Income and Retained Earnings.
The obligation of the Company on the Bonds is governed by a
Trust Deed dated 25 July 2006 (GBP550 million Bonds) or 28 May 2009
(GBP275 million Bonds) between the Company, The Wellcome Trust
Limited, as trustee of the Wellcome Trust, and Citicorp Trustee
Company Limited, as the trustee for the holders of the Bonds (the
"Trust Deed" and the "new Trust Deed" respectively). The payment of
all amounts due in respect of the Bonds is unconditionally and
irrevocably guaranteed pursuant to the terms of a guarantee given
by The Wellcome Trust Limited, as corporate trustee of the Wellcome
Trust; the guarantee is part of the Trust Deed and the new Trust
Deed.

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption contained in
FRS 102 Section 33 paragraph 33.1A3 "Related Party Disclosures",
which exempts it from disclosing details of transactions with the
Wellcome Trust and its subsidiary undertakings, as the Company and
its related undertakings with whom it may have transactions are
wholly owned subsidiaries of the Wellcome Trust through its
corporate trustee, The Wellcome Trust Limited. There are no other
related party transactions requiring disclosure.
13. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments comprise the loans to Group
undertakings and the liability arising from the issue of the Bonds.
The Company's loans are non-derivative financial assets with fixed
payments which are not available for sale. The Bond liability is a
non-derivative financial liability with a fixed redemption value,
fixed interest rate and fixed maturity date. The Company has not
undertaken any trading in financial instruments during the
year.
The financial instruments issued by, or held by, the Company are
Sterling denominated and at fixed interest rates and carry no
foreign exchange risk or interest rate risk.
The key risks relating to the financial instruments held by the
Company are the credit risk and liquidity risk of the counterparty
Wellcome Trust in relation to the loans to Group undertakings.
These risks are in respect of the Wellcome Trust's ability to meet
the interest and principal payments as they fall due. The total
value exposed to credit risk as at 30 September 2020 is GBP963.8
million (2019: GBP964.1 million), which comprises the value of the
loans to Group undertakings, amounts owed by Group undertakings,
accrued interest on loans and cash at bank and in hand. The
liquidity risk of the Company is mitigated by the exact matching of
the cash flows from the Company's loans to Group undertakings to
those arising on the Bond Liabilities.
Credit risk exposure of the Company's loans is reduced by the
Company only advancing loans to entities within the Group. Credit
risk exposure of the Company's remaining financial assets is
reduced by stringent selection procedures for any external
counterparties with which the Company transacts.
14. COMMITMENTS
The Company has no outstanding commitments to make further
investments at 30 September 2020 (2019: GBPnil).
15. ULTIMATE PARENT UNDERTAKING AND CONTROLLING PARTY
The Company is a company limited by shares. Its sole shareholder
is the Wellcome Trust through its corporate trustee The Wellcome
Trust Limited, whose place of business is Gibbs Building, 215
Euston Road, London, United Kingdom. The Company is considered a
wholly owned subsidiary undertaking of the Wellcome Trust for
accounting purposes and its assets and liabilities have been
consolidated with those of the Wellcome Trust as required by
section 9 of FRS 102.
The ultimate parent undertaking and controlling party of the
Company is the Wellcome Trust, which is the parent undertaking of
the smallest and largest group to consolidate these Financial
Statements.
Copies of the Wellcome Trust Annual Report and Financial
Statements 2020 are available from Wellcome's website (
wellcome.org/what-we-do/reports ) or from the Company
Secretary.
