4 - The income and expenditure – or general – reserve, which is the part of the reserves which has built up over the years through accumulated operating surplus/(deficit); the reserve has then been used by the college for investment in assets, such as buildings and equipment, of which current assets forms the most ‘liquifiable’ part is £3,047,000
