**TALL STORIES THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES’ REPORT** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

## **INTRODUCTION** 

The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and the audited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. 

## **The Trustees** 

The trustees who served the charity during the year and up to the date of approval of the financial statements: 

Penny Daly Steve Cowton Annabel Arndt James Jones Toby Park Rachel Tackley 

## **Key Personnel** 

Olivia Jacobs Toby Mitchell Lucy Wood 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The main objective of the charity is to advance education for the public benefit by the promotion of the arts, in particular but not exclusively the art of drama. In order to achieve this objective, the charity presents a number of high quality, imaginative productions each year, which can be enjoyed by children and adults equally. These productions present old, new and timeless stories in fresh and exciting ways, touring to theatres, community venues and schools in the UK, continental Europe, North America and other countries. The charity aims to tell stories in a physical, visual style reaching as diverse an audience as possible worldwide. 

## **Principal Activities of the Year** 

On 16th March, at the end of the previous financial year, theatres across the country closed their doors indefinitely because of the covid-19 pandemic. It was a hugely challenging start to 2020/21 as the charity looked to reschedule projects due to take place in the early part of the year, in the UK and across the globe; and did much scenario budgeting for the various options of dates that theatres might open once more. 

It has been an extraordinary year for the charity, one of resilience and flexibility where all members of the team have pulled together to make activity happen despite the detrimental circumstances brought about by the pandemic. For the first five months of the year it was not possible for productions to be performed as per the usual business model on tour and overseas. However, the charity has maintained a high level of activity despite this through live streamed performances, digital performances, outdoor performances and continuing the renovations of the studio in Islington. In December the charity was finally able to perform in theatres again, only to be closed for the second lockdown a few weeks later. 

## **Studio and office at Islington Central Library** 

The organisation had been working on a major project partnering with Islington Council to transform an under used section of Islington Central Library into a storytelling hub for the company. The project was designed by architects Haworth Tompkins (renowned for their work on theatres), with technical input and project management from Gary Beestone Events and Theatre. 

As building work was allowed to continue during the early part of the pandemic, the project was completed in September 2020. The space provides the company with an administrative base, alongside a large studio space suitable for rehearsals and performances for an audience of up to 80. The development has also reinstated the original library entrance on Holloway Road as an alternative entry point to the building, and we are hoping to add a ramp sympathetic to the library’s frontage at some point to enable accessibility. 

Tall Stories’ programme of work in the studio space will include free performances for Islington school groups and residents, opportunities to give local young people an insight into how a stage production is created, workshops for actors and theatre creatives, a programme of support for emerging theatre companies and storytellers, sharing of works-in-progress and preview performances of new shows. 

The studio will also be available to hire by local groups and other companies as a rehearsal/preview space with technical facilities.

**TALL STORIES THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

This year the company produced a variety of different projects to their usual remit of work: 

## _**The Snail and the Whale**_ 

## **Live Stream- October Half Term** 

During the October half term the company performed a run of fifteen performances in partnership with fifteen different venues to audiences around the country and the world; in total, 2775 tickets were sold. As each household bought one ticket, it is estimated that approximately 7000 people watched the show, with an average of 2.5 viewers per ticket. A new partnership was created with a company called TicketCo who managed both streaming and ticketing. The company exchanged the use of the studio for use of the production ‘Showstoppers’ streaming equipment which made finances easier for both companies. The office team were involved in the running of the production providing camera and cabling management support. The Studio space with the office on site, supported this approach and it was of great benefit having the artistic and administrative team in one place. Audience feedback was hugely positive, with many photos placed on social media of families enjoying the show from their homes. 

## **USA Digital Tour January to March 2021** 

Holden Arts, the company’s American tour bookers, booked a fantastic digital tour of _The Snail and the Whale_ across the USA which ran initially from January to March 2021, but was then extended into the early part of 2021/22. Filmed during the live streamed shows of October 2020, the company produced a full length and episodic recording of the show. Alongside this, a package for venues including preand post- show content explaining a little about what went into making the show, plus some themed craft activities from the cast and an activity pack was created. Hugely positive feedback was received from venues and it was a much welcomed initiative during this time for school children who had no access to cultural activity during the pandemic. 

## _**The Gruffalo**_ 

## **Live Streamed shows with The Lowry, Christmas 2020** 

After the company was unable to go ahead with live performances of _The Gruffalo_ at The Lowry for Christmas 2020, it was decided an alternative option would be to build on the success of _The Snail and the Whale – Live Streamed_ with 6 live streamed performances of _The Gruffalo_ . Two were for schools, with one shown for free to 200 schools in Islington and Salford, and the other broadcast to an estimated 22,700 students around the country. Of the 4 public performances, the company played to an estimated audience of 5,500 (assuming 2.5 viewers per ticket). 

## **The Gruffalo – Watch at Home; Christmas 2020 and February 2021 with the Rose, Kingston** 

Although initially committed to releasing only live content, in person or streamed in the UK, the company had a rethink when the third lockdown meant it was not possible to perform live and were unable to live stream over much of Christmas. After the cancellation of _The Gruffalo’s Child_ at Alexandra Palace, it was decided that a recording of _The Gruffalo_ would be released for a limited period. The company released the recording again through Rose Kingston for 3 weeks in February in lieu of a cancelled run of _The Gruffalo’s Child_ which had been scheduled for February half term, hoping to reach out to their committed family audience. This was produced alongside a captioned stream with a BSL introduction. The company was pleased to be able to continue to offer some access provision during this time. 

## **Germany** 

The charity continues to work with Junges Theatre Bonn on a German language Gruffalo; touring in theatre performances were not possible through the pandemic, so JTB ran a limited run of ‘drive in’ and picnic performances of _The Gruffalo_ over the summer which were very popular with local families. 

## _**The Gruffalo’s Child**_ 

## **Christmas 2020 at Alexandra Palace** 

The run of _The Gruffalo’s Child_ was sadly cancelled after 12 out of a planned 41 performances due to government restrictions. Before cancellation, this tour had sold 8322 tickets, indicating that the public were keen to return to the theatre. Performances at Alexandra Palace worked well, with their large theatre, entrance hall and ample parking perfect for social distancing. The company had a successful run of _The Gruffalo_ at Ally Pally in August 2022, and hopes to continue the relationship with the venue in the future.

**TALL STORIES THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

## _**Room on the Broom**_ 

## **Australia** 

We continue to work with CDP Theatre Producers on _Room on the Broom_ , which toured in Autumn 2020. Due to restrictions being very different to the UK, the Australian production was able to get up and running and performed at socially distanced capacities in the Autumn. 

## _**Lockdown Projects**_ 

Whilst theatres were closed the company ran a number of activities to keep freelance actors and creatives who regularly work with the charity engaged and inspired. These consisted of weekly warm-ups which ran every Monday morning online, free weekly online workshops delivered by industry professionals, as well as twelve weeks of an online story telling project called _Tales of Light_ where performers recorded a story to be delivered online. 

The company did its utmost to continue output as much as possible through the pandemic. However, with a team of seven permanent staff it was necessary to use the Government’s furlough scheme, which enabled the charity to retain all staff and to pay them 80% of their salary. 

## _**Future plans for 2021-22 & 2022-23**_ 

Inspired by JTB in Germany, the company has formed a new partnership with Brand Events and toured _The Gruffalo_ around the UK during May & June 2021 playing outside, drive-in performances. The aim was to provide families with some much-needed cultural activity after such a long period of closure of all arts based buildings. The charity also remounted a tour of _The Snail and the Whale_ throughout the spring and summer of 2021 to venues across the country. 

Plans for a new show _The Smeds and the Smoos_ had to be postponed during lockdown, but the show was created in the autumn of 2021, and it opened at Rose Theatre Kingston during the October half term. It then went on a short tour and is currently enjoying a Christmas run at Curve, Leicester. Due to the significant financial loss of 2020/21 and the projected loss of 2021/22, the company is setting up as strong a year as possible in 2022/23; tour-booking the flagship productions into the best possible venues. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Constitution** 

Tall Stories Theatre Company Limited was incorporated on 2 July 1998 as a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended by special resolution on 20 June 2007. On 30 October 2007, the company was registered as a charity with the Charities Commission. 

## **Trustee Induction and Training New Trustees** 

New Trustees are briefed on their legal obligations under Charity and Company Law, the content of the Articles and Memorandum of Association, the committee and decision-making processes, and recent financial performance of the charity. They are also given a Trustee pack at the start of their term, laying out their responsibilities and the company’s terms and conditions. 

All Trustees are given a copy of the annual budgets and profit and loss reports on all projects, as well as a summary of forthcoming plans. All appropriate papers relevant to the discussion points on the meeting agenda are circulated to all board members ahead of each board meeting. 

All Trustees are encouraged to see performances throughout the year and are invited to shows on a regular basis. 

## **Trustees and Organisation** 

The Articles of Association require that a minimum of three Trustees will serve at any one time, up to a maximum of seven. The power of appointing Trustees rests with the Trustees in office. The Trustees, who meet quarterly, administer the charity with the day-to-day running being carried out by the Artistic Directors Olivia Jacobs and Toby Mitchell and Executive Director Lucy Wood and four office staff, currently consisting of Creative Programme Manager Natalia Scorer, Finance Officer Sheila McClenaghan, Production Co-ordinator Harriet Billington and Production Assistant Robyn Wilson.

**TALL STORIES THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

The Trustees are also in charge of setting the pay of the senior staff. All salaries are reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings and inflation. In view of the nature of the charity, the directors benchmark against pay levels in other theatre companies or venues of a similar scale. 

## **Risk Management** 

The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises: an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity faces; the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and the implementation of procedures designed to minimize or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise. 

The Trustees constantly consider and monitor the major risks to which the charity is exposed, especially those relating to the operations and finances of the charity. Once a risk has been identified and assessed, controls are established to mitigate the risk and it is included in the annual review. The Trustees are satisfied that the systems in place are suitable to mitigate the majority of the risks faced by the charity. 

The main risks the charity faces are currently risks arising from the Covid-19 pandemic such as theatres being closed for long periods, employees becoming unwell, and loss of earnings from projects being cancelled at short notice. Risks that also apply are management of performing rights, health and safety of artists and audience in the UK and overseas, and changes in long-term administrative staff. 

The risks related to Covid-19 are managed by policies and procedures being kept up to date, reviewing risk assessments regularly, responding to the guidelines laid out by the government/industry bodies, adapting and providing back up plans for all projects. The company manages other risks by planning ahead, ensuring accreditation is up to date and re-evaluating training for staff working in these operational areas. 

A combined Directors’ Report and Trustees’ Report has been prepared to meet company law requirements. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW FOR 2020-2021** 

Due to the pandemic and theatres being closed for the majority of the year, the charity ended the year with a deficit of £229,778 (2020: surplus of £194,745). The income for the financial year was £293,588 (2020: £2,187,925), with expenditure of £523,366 (2020: £1,993,180). 

Despite the pandemic and the need to use reserves for survival, the company still maintains a strong level of reserves which have reduced from £1,574,072 in March 2020 to £1,344,294 at 31 March 2021. The charity has sufficient funds to cover its expenditure for a period of more than six months. These reserves will also enable the company to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income during the pandemic and to continue to operate during any continued instability. 

It is likely that the company will experience major losses due to the pandemic for the next financial year also, and these reserves will assist the company by making up the shortfall in planned income and allow the company to be able to respond to opportunities that may arise throughout the year. The company is likely to need its reserves to survive the following financial year(s) and retain its staff so that it can reemerge from the pandemic as quickly as possible. 

## **RELATED PARTIES AND CO-OPERATION WITH OTHER ORGANISATIONS** 

None of the company’s trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a trustee and senior employee of the charity with a production company, contracted actor, performer or exhibitor must be disclosed to the full board of trustees in the same way as any other contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year, the company has used the composers Jolly Good Tunes [trading as Shock Productions Ltd] as composers on a number of productions. Olivia Jacobs, Artistic Director of Tall Stories, is married to Jon Fiber, Director of Jolly Good Tunes. 

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The charity confirms that the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and the charity has complied with their duty as dictated by the Charities Act. The company tours on the large and small-scale to bring high quality drama to audiences from all walks of life at affordable ticket prices.

## **TALL STORIES THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED** 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_ 

The trustees, who are also the directors of Tall Stories Theatre Company Limited for the purpose of company law,  are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements  comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **TALL STORIES THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE MEMBERS OF TALL STORIES THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED** 

## **Opinion** 

We have audited the financial statements of Tall Stories Theatre Company Limited (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including  FRS  102 _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) . 

## In our opinion, the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources , including its income and expenditure , for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis for opinion** 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the _Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements_ section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## **Conclusions relating to going concern** 

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. 

## **Other information** 

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and , except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006** 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit: 

- the information given in the trustees'  r eport, which includes the  d irectors '  r eport prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the  d irectors '  r eport included within the trustees'  r eport has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the  d irectors ' r eport included within the trustees'  r eport.

## **TALL STORIES THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## **TO THE MEMBERS OF TALL STORIES THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED** 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- the trustees were  not entitled to prepare the  financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies ' exemptions in preparing the trustees'  r eport and from the requirement to prepare a s trategic  r eport. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more fully in the  s tatement of trustees'  r esponsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are  responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the  trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## **Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements** 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below . 

As part of our planning process: 

- We enquired of management the systems and controls the charity has in place, the areas of the financial statements that are most susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud. The charity did not inform us of any known, suspected or alleged fraud. 

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company. We determined that the following were most relevant: the Charity SORP, FRS 102, Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006, employment law and h ealth and  s afety. 

- We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the charity, including the extent of management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly. 

- Using our knowledge of the charity, together with the discussions held with the charity at the planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment. 

The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included: 

- I dentifying and testing journal entries and the overall accounting records, in particular those that were significant and unusual. 

- R eviewing the financial statement disclosures and determining whether accounting policies have been appropriately applied. 

- Reviewing and challenging the assumptions and judgements used by management in their significant accounting estimates. There were no accounting estimates that would be considered critical to the financial statements. 

- Assessing the extent of compliance, or lack of, with the relevant laws and regulations. 

- Testing key income lines, in particular cut-off, for evidence of management bias. 

- Assessing the validity of the classification of income, expenditure, assets and liabilities .

## **TALL STORIES THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED** 

## **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)** 

## **TO THE MEMBERS OF TALL STORIES THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED** 

- Performing a physical verification of key assets and stock. 

- Obtaining third-party confirmation of material bank balances. 

- Documenting and verifying all significant related party balances and transactions. 

- Reviewing documentation such as the charity board minutes for discussions of irregularities including fraud . 

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities and fraud rests with the trustees of the charity. 

A further description of our responsibilities is available on  the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http s ://www.frc.org.uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report. 

## **Use of our report** 

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor ' s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Tall Stories Theatre Company Limited is a an incorporated charity limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Acre House, 11-15 William Road, London, NW1 3ER, United Kingdom. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document,  the Companies Act 2006 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The  financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the  charity .  Monetary a mounts  in these financial statements are  rounded to the nearest £. 

The accounts have been prepared on the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

The Covid-19 outbreak has caused major disruption to the charity’s activities throughout 2020 and is likely to have an impact on the following year. The recent outbreak of the Omicron variant has not affected the productions that are on currently to date but it is a fast changing situation. It is likely that sales will be slower than usual during the months ahead as confidence in booking theatre declines whilst the variant is a concern. Notwithstanding the significant challenges that lie ahead for the organisation, the Trustees have reasonable expectation that the charity can continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. 

The organisation has sufficient cash and reserves to continue for at least that period pending future income and the Trustees will take steps to reduce costs if required to do so. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds comprise those which the charity is free to use for any purpose in furtherance of its charitable objectives and which the trustees may appropriate to reserves for internally designated purposes. 

## **1.4 Incoming resources** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Theatre productions income is income from running shows and is recognised when the performance takes place. 

Income from the sale of merchandise is income derived from merchandise related to the shows and is recognised at the point of sale. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

## **1.5 Resources expended** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the statement of financial activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. 

Charitable activity costs comprise those cost s incurred by the charity in the performance of its productions. It include s both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity.

_Allocation of support costs_ 

All support costs have been allocated to the one charitable activity. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets  are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows: 

Islington Studio 5% Straight line Equipment 33% Straight line Fixtures and fittings - Lighting 10% Straight line Fixtures and fittings - Seating and Sound System 7% Straight line Fixtures and fittings 33% Straight line Motor vehicles 17% Straight line 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in  net income/(expenditure) for the year. 

## **1.7 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the  charity  reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) . 

## **1.8 Stocks** 

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and  estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell . Cost comprises direct purchasing costs. 

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. 

## **1.9 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks . 

## **1.10 Financial instruments** 

The  charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the  charity 's  balance sheet  when the  charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

## **(Continued)** 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of  operations  from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **1.11 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

## **1.12 Retirement benefits** 

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due. 

## **1.13 Foreign exchange** 

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are recognised on the statement of financial activities. 

## **1.14 Taxation** 

The charity is not liable to direct taxation on its income as it falls within the various exemptions available to registered charities. The charity is registered for value added tax (VAT) and therefore charges output tax on income where applicable, and reclaims input tax it suffers on its purchases. Income and expenditure in the accounts is therefore shown exclusive of VAT. 

## **1.15 Pensions** 

Employees of the company and self-employed actors are entitled to join a defined contribution workplace pension scheme. 

Contributions made for the accounting period are treated as an expense and were £10,259 (2020: £25,854). 

## **1.16 Government grants** 

Government grants are accounted for under the accrual model and are recognised at the fair value of the amount received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received. Government grants  were received under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme designed to compensate for staff costs. Amounts received or receivable are recognised in the statement of financial activities over the same period as the costs to which they relate. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. 

There are no judgement or estimates included that would be critical to the financial statements.
