FINANCIAL REVIEW
'I"he decrease in financial reservcs was a total of £9,231 (2024 £20,135 increase) giving a total increase over the
two years of £10,904. Total income was £52,040 (2024 £66,147).
There is no forn]al reserves policy apart from good stewardship.
The church is managed by an office manager, a financial administralor aiid dn adininislralor. All stsii" are
pernianently employed.
FIXED A.S,SETS
The Trust charges the full cost of the purchases of small items of equipment less than £500 directly to revenuc
in the year in which thcy are acquired. The Trust owns the Church Building in Deveron Way, which is included
in the Dalance Sheel ai £86,073. This has been capitalised at the book valije at time of transfcr os held in Ihc
account.s ot" Hollycroft Church.
The cost of the extension to thc rear of thc cxisting Church Cenlre amounting to £425,65 6 was capitalised iii
thc accounLs in Ihe year the expenditurc was incurrcd. Under accruals aLLounting the cost was depreciatcd al
2 % on a slraighi line basis from September 2009 to August 2012. Siiice Ihen, the accounts are being prcpared
on a receipts and payments basis, so no further charge is to be made in the accounts for depreciation, as
reccipts and Pdymenis accounts do not havc to account for chlanges in th¢ value of asscis.
