What the accounts disclose
“The Trustees consider that a prudent level of free reserves for the Trust ie reserves over and above the amount invested in net tangible fixed assets and stock, should equate to between three and six months of the expected combined operating expenditure of both the Trust and the Coffeeshop.” — page 5
“The Coffee Shop is a separate trading company called Mustard Seed (Marlborough) Ltd. It is owned by the Trustees and is therefore a connected trading company.” — page 7
