Independent Examinerfs Report
I report on the financial statements of TRMB Limrted for the year ended 31 January 2025 which are set out
on pages 7 to 14.
Responslbilities and basls of report
The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company
law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordan￿ with the requiremenls of
the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 ("the 2005 Acr) and the Chanties
Accounts (Scouand) Regulations 201% ("the 2(YA Regulations.) and the Companies Act 2006.
I have satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under Regulation (10)(11(a)-{c) of the
20C6 Regulations or company law and is eligible for independent exafflination. I have therefore
examined your charity's accounts as required under section (44)11)(G) of the 2005 Act and
Regulats'on 11 of the 20C6 Regulabons. In carying out my examinatson I have followed the
guidance issued to independenl examiners by the Offi￿ of the Scottish Charity Regulator
(OSCRI
My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to
believe..
that accounting recxjrds were not kept as required by section 44(1)(a) of the 2005 Act and
Regulation 4 of the 2QKJ6 Regulats'ons; or
that the accounts do not accord with those reconls,. or
that the accounts do not comply with the aC￿Unting requirements of Regul*on 8 of the
201% Regulations.. or
that there is further infonnation needed for a proper understanding of the accounts.
Independent examinef s statement
I have completed my examination and I have no concems in ￿spe￿ of any of the above and I
have found no other matters that require drawing to your attention.
