Net Liquid Assets, funds that are readily available for use, during the first six months of the financial year, have increased by £1.432 million to £176.894 million.
Movements in fixed assets and stock are only undertaken at year end therefore this is an estimated figure. This figure is inclusive of receipts related to the oil industry.
(*) These figures exclude unrealized gains and losses on investments and all revenues and expenditure related to the oil industry. Unrealized investment losses for the first half of the year were £8.442 million; almost double the YTD surplus reported.
