The accounts state that unrestricted funds increased to £660,012, significantly exceeding the reserves policy target of £11,600 required for the PSV operator license. This increase was largely driven by a £476,645 revaluation of heritage assets, as operational activities resulted in a net expenditure of £35,873.
