Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
Fundraising costs are unusually low relative to funds raised
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

One or more trustees receive payments or benefits from the charity for providing services to the charity and another benefit
The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

Unrestricted reserves appear to be dangerously low at the latest year end
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
