Financial review
Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Details of any deficit Donated facilities and services (if any)
	Since showing films is the main income stream, the charity has had a policy on reserves that it would aim to hold sufficient funds for to buy replacement equipment for showing the films – a projector . a screen and a sound system. The previous figure for this was £60,000 while the new projector and sound system should mean that these don’t require to be replaced for several years, the charity aims to build up reserves sufficient to purchase such equipment when necessary.
	A surplus of £4,286 was reported for the financial year as detailed in Appendix 2. Having agreed and signed the MoU with Live Life Aberdeenshire (LLA), we had arrears payment to make for venue hire prior to November 2024. In addition, there are venue hire costs that we had not yet received from other users of the venue, who used to pay LLA directly befrore the MoU came into effect.
	The donated services consisted of the time spent by committee members in various administration tasks, organising events and ingesting films ahead of showings. Donations totalling £500 were received from Aboyne Co-op

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner	The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees
	consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations
	does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section
	44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement	My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. 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 concerning 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 viewgiven bythe accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement	In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other than that disclosed on the attached page*] 1. 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 with 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 understanding of the accounts to be reached.
