Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts present a series of detailed transactional ledgers for various funds and a trading subsidiary without providing a consolidated summary of total unrestricted reserves or a clear statement of financial position. The document lacks standard financial health indicators such as an auditor's report, trustee statements on reserves policy, or a consolidated income and expenditure summary that would allow for a definitive assessment of financial stability.
