Financial Review

income stream and this has been identified as a major risk area for the Charities
continued existence.

operating expenses for six months should funding cease. It is, however, anticipated
that this reserve will be depleted on occasions such that shorter period of expenses
would be covered.

Use of core reserves:
To support funds, grants until expected monies are actually cleared.
To cover unexpected costs on a one-off basis.
