There has been little by the way of financial activity, this mitigated by reductions in the annual maintenance costs of the historical collection. In addition, there is little anticipated future expenditure, the investment fund being reserved for the needs of any future restoration projects, while the banked reserves are being reserved for routine expenditure.
