2. stat8ffl￿t 8xplalnlng the polky for holdlng I￿r￿e8 $tstln9 why th•y •re held
The Charty is nol yet in a pOSrt￿n to cite a pdicy on reserves after the first year of its
operations as a wistered Chanty. The b￿￿get for next year, to be prtsent￿ at the Annual
General Meeting, will seek lo relain reserves in the Ge￿ra1 Fund at three months ol annual
recuirenl expendrture. A reserves p0￿CY will b8 forrnalised aco)rdingly.
3. Arnountof rnserV￿ held
The General FuThJ has cash equivabnt to approximately seven mnths of annual recurrent
expendrture. This is due to the offunds brought fotward. It 15 anticipated to bring this
down to three months, worth in the %>)ming year and maintain this kvel going forward.
4. Reasons for holdlng zero re58rves

6. Explan•tlon of any uncèrtaiwtti•S it￿￿th• chawlty tontinulng as a golng conc•m
The Charty is prudent about the *tMties rt undertakes ano recc%Jnises that rts income flow
1$ necessanly uncertain Commrtted expendrture is Managed appropriately,. for example the
Debt Centre project ha5 been initially funded for a three-year peri(Kl and the em￿OyMent
contract of the manager is the￿0￿ for an equNalent time-frame. This flexibility together
with budgetary contrd should enatAe to Charity to expand or enntrxt its ￿tl¥rt￿S without
questioning it5 going concem st8tU5.
