The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1 } (d) of Ihe Accounts Regulats'ons does not apply.

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeks explanations from the trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other than that disclosed on the attached page"] Basis of independent examiner's statement Independent examiner's statement which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply wilh Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understandin of the accounts to be reached.

Phase 2 Account - The Phase2 Group was set up as a sub-group of the then Whalsay History Group in 2009. The main purpose being in the first instance to raise funds for a feasability study to look at the possibility of restoring more of the B listed buildings around the area adjacent to the then History Group premises (now Whalsay Heritage & Community Centre SCIO premises). These buildings were B Listed in 1971. Being part of the Symbister Junior High School, the Midden Court area and its environs has great potential as a building suited to community use and the Phase2 Group continues to explore ways of taking this forward.
