Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities

The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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 estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed; and

• 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 proper accounting records that 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.

Independent Auditors’ Report To the Members of The All England Lawn Tennis Ground plc

We have audited the financial statements of The All England Lawn Tennis Ground plc for the year ended 31 July 2010 which comprise the consolidated profit and loss account, the consolidated and company balance sheets, the consolidated cash flow statement, and the related notes 1 to 26. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of directors and auditors 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. Our responsibility is to audit the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s (APB’s) Ethical Standards for Auditors.

Scope of the audit of the financial statements An audit involves obtaining evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error. This includes an assessment of: whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the group’s and the parent company’s circumstances and have been consistently applied and adequately disclosed; the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by the directors; and the overall presentation of the financial statements.

Opinion on financial statements In our opinion the financial statements: • give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the parent company’s affairs as at 31 July 2010 and of the group’s profit for the year then ended; • have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and • have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion the information given in the Directors’ Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: • adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or • the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or • certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or • we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

The All England Lawn Tennis Ground plc and subsidiary undertakings Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 31st July 2010

1. Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. All have been applied consistently throughout the current and preceding year for the group and the company.

(a) Accounting convention. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards.

(b) Basis of accounting. The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of The All England Lawn Tennis Ground plc and its subsidiary undertakings.

(c) Tangible fixed assets. Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, net of depreciation. Depreciation is not provided on freehold land. On other assets, it is provided on cost in equal annual instalments over the estimated lives of the assets. The rates of depreciation are as follows: Freehold buildings, expenditure on grounds etc. (see note 10) - 2% Pavilion at Raynes Park Sports Ground - 4% Plant and machinery - 5%-10% Fixtures and fittings - 20% Museum equipment - 10%-20% Museum exhibits, library books, films etc. (see note 10) - 0%-10%

(d) Deferred taxation. In accordance with FRS19 “Deferred Taxation”, deferred taxation is provided in full on all timing differences that result in an obligation at the balance sheet date to pay more tax, or a right to pay less tax, at a future date, at rates expected to apply when they crystallise, based on current tax rates and law. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is regarded as more likely than not that they will be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Current taxation. including United Kingdom 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.

(e) Turnover. The figure for turnover represents sales to third parties net of value added tax and facility fees payable by The Championships. Turnover from the supply of services represents the value of services provided under contracts to the extent that there is a right to consideration and is recorded at the value of the consideration due. Where a contract has only been partially completed at the balance sheet date turnover represents the value of the service provided to date based on a proportion of the total contract value. Where payments are received from customers in advance of services provided, the amounts are recorded as deferred income and included as part of creditors due within one year.

(f) Investments. Shares in group companies are stated at cost less provision for impairment in value. Investments held as current assets are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

(g) Investment receivable. Interest on investments credited in the financial statements is accrued on a day-to-day basis.

(i) Going concern. The group is funded on an ongoing basis by the annual facility fee received from The Championships and by the issue of debentures and since 31 August 2007 has also had a long-term secured loan facility with HSBC (see business review on page 2).3). The board of Directors is satisfied that on the basis of the group’s cash flow projections and the funding sources in place, it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.

The Finance (No 2) Act 2010, which provides for a reduction in the main rate of corporation tax from 28% to 27% effective from 1 April 2011, was substantively enacted on 21 July 2010. The rate reduction is reflected in the determination of the tax charge above.

The Government has also indicated that it intends to enact future reductions in the main tax rate of 1% each year down to 24% by 1 April 2014. The future 1% main tax rate reductions are expected to have a similar impact on our financial statements as outlined above, however the actual impact will be dependent on our tax position at that time.

9. Profit of Parent Company

As permitted by Section 408 of the Companies Act 206, the profit and loss account of the parent company is not presented as part of these financial statements. The consolidated profit and loss account includes a profit after taxation of £1,320,000 (2009: loss of £5,601,000) which is attributable to the parent company.

The balance on the profit and loss account of the parent company carried forward, after adding the profit after taxation for the financial year and after transferring £6,259,000 from the Championships Rebuilding Reserve (2009: transferring £6,259,000 from the Championships Rebuilding Reserve), is a surplus of £24,082,000 (2009: £16,503,000).

The Championships Rebuilding Reserve has been established to set aside funds to meet the potential long term rebuilding costs of facilities for staging The Championships. The reserve will be transferred to the profit and loss account over the next five years as the group incurs higher depreciation related to the Centre Court building project. Accordingly the reserve will be fully transferred by 31 July 2013. Other Reserves comprise the Lord Ritchie Library Fund and General Reserve. The reserves are all non-distributable.

In the opinion of the directors, the nature of the premiums received on the debentures is not a finance item within the spirit of Financial Reporting Standard 4. The premiums are received by the company because the debentures carry the privilege to receive Centre and No.1 Court tickets for future Championships. This privilege is conveyed by the shareholders of the company, rather than by the company itself, and accordingly the premiums received are recognised as a movement in Shareholders’ Funds. The value of the Centre and No.1 Court tickets for the 2010 Championships was £2,259,234.

24. Pension Scheme

All of the employees of The All England Lawn Tennis Ground plc and its subsidiaries, and their associated pension benefits and obligations, were transferred to the Club on 1 October 2004.

Eligible former employees of The All England Lawn Tennis Ground plc and its subsidiaries are members of The All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club Pension and Assurance Scheme, a defined benefit scheme. The assets of the Scheme are held in separate Trustee-administered funds.

The group has had no employees since 1 October 2004, and therefore no financial obligations are reported in these accounts under FRS17.

25. Controlling Party

The beneficial ownership of The All England Lawn Tennis Ground plc rests jointly, 50% with the Club and 50% with the LTA.

26. Subsequent Events

Since 1 August 2010, the group has refunded substantially all of the £4,600,000 nominal value of the Centre Court debentures relating to the 2006-10 Championships. Under the terms of the debenture prospectus, the group was contractually committed to refund the nominal value of a debenture on 2 August 2010 provided that the holder of the debenture had returned the relevant debenture certificate.

In September 2010, the company and the Club signed a “venue use agreement” with the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Limited (“LOCOG”) which sets out the terms and conditions under which the company’s grounds will be used by LOCOG to stage the tennis event at the 2012 London Olympics.
