Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that total unrestricted income increased to £48,894 from £43,250 in the prior year, while total expenditure rose to £50,935 from £32,919. This resulted in a net deficit for the year, reducing cash funds from £30,089 to £49,036? No, the cash funds increased from £30,089 to £49,036 despite the net deficit shown in the receipts and payments account?

No, the Statement of Assets shows closing cash 49,036 and opening 30,089. The Receipts and Payments shows Net of receipts/(payments) as 2,041 (positive) for 2024/25? Let's re-read. Total Receipts 48,894. Total Payments 50,935. Net is (2,041). But the Cash funds line says 49,036. The previous year cash was 30,089. 30,089 - 2,041 = 28,048. This does not match 49,036. There is a discrepancy in the provided text or my reading. Let's look at the Receipts and Payments again. Total Receipts 48,894. Total Payments 50,935. Net (2,041). Opening cash 30,089. Closing should be 28,048. But Statement of Assets says 49,036. The text says
