Explanation			of any					Para 1.23	The legal case relating to a property ownership
uncertainties				about the					dispute with the previous Trustees was decided
charity continuing concern					as	a going			by the Leeds High Court in favour of the GNST(S) and costs awarded in September/
									October 2019.

The only uncertainty is the recovery ofthese
costs from the defendants R130k(F95k+F35k
+ Rental Income) from Surjit Singh who has
been declared Bankrupt and 895k (F118k
including interest and costs) from Balbir Singh
whose financial position remains unclear.
Post year end:
Following the election ofthe new Management
Committee a subcommittee was formed to deal
with outstanding legal matters including a claim
for historical unbilled legal fees totalling 865k
and circa F30k ofcurrent unbilled fees.
Members ofthe subcommittee met with the
Senior Partner ofWilkin Chapman on 2/11/2021
and as result the discussions WC agreed to
write off all unbilled fees to date except F10k
which was agreed to be paid in 10 monthly
instalments commencing December 2021.
Like all Charities dependent on donations
COVID19 restrictions had an adverse impact on
temple attendances and income but the
Management Committee and Trustees feel that
with the historical legal feesissue resolved the
Charity will have sufficient funds to continue as
a oin concern for the foreseeable future.
