Restricted funds relate to monies given for specific purposes, which can be identified by the above descriptions.
```

```
Once a fixed asset has been purchased,or the funds utilised (and assuming there is no restrictionupon the use of the asset), the
funds are transferred to the appropriate fund.
```

```
Designatedfundsareunrestrictedandrelatetothetotalfixedassetsat thecurrentnetbookvalueandtheremaining balance
of the land loan. Repayments to the loan, and purchases of assets are transferred against this balance.
```

```
The prior year fund categories have been aggregated inline with the restriction rather than the donor.
```

```
The trustees have recognisedthat a number of restrictedfunds should have been consumedthrough standard expenditure over
recent periods, and as such have transferred the funds against the unrestricted fund where the expenditure was recognised..
