Significant estimates and judgements
In the application of the Trusi's accounting wlicie& the Truscees are required to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on histori(al experience and
other factors thac are considered relerdnL Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimatrs
and underlying assumpts'ons are reviewed on an onp'ng ba515. Revisions to accounting estimates are
recognised in the period to which the estimatr is rewsed if the revision affects only that period or in the
period of the revision and future period5 if the revision affects both current and future periods. The key
sources of estimacion uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial
statemenrs are the depreciation rate and residual *dlue5 of fixed assets. The Trustees consider that the
depreciaiion ra￿ and residual Ydlues are appropriite.
Going Concern
The Trustees consider chat the Trust will be in a position ro meet its financial obligations for the
foreseeable fuwre and that there are no material uncertainries relating to golng concern.
