Flnanclal revl
The organisation stzrted 2022123 an extremety healthy cash reserve. having operated with a reduced staff
throughout the pandemic period. Over the course of the year Rifco spent down some ol these reserves In order to
restart our live touring pro8ramme and increase our 5taffin8 to pre-pandemic leve15. We also made the decislon to
Spend 50meofthese reserves onthe21 Artists progrnmme as a wayto supportexisting and developing British South
Asian talent.
There was an operational deficit of £126,344 ￿ unrestricted fund5, and together with total unrestricted reserves
carrled forward ai i Aprll 2023 of £3SO,907.
Trustees have assessed the major risks to t*thKti the Rifco is exp05ed, induding those presented by the Covld-19
Cri￿5. The Risk Register has been updzted Imarch 20221 and there are systems in place toensure business continuity
within the small team. The 8oard are satlsfied that the systerns in plats m5ti.eate any exposure to major Tisk5.
Fundr•islr¥ and inmffle iener*•o
The Board and the EXe￿t￿e set an initial fundraising tawget of £62.5(Xl based on the 202V22 outcome. In the
period to March 2023 £29.7CKJ was raised frorn Trusts and Foundations. £8.￿6 from indNidual donations and Gift
Aid. and £18.500 from Rifco's first G31a Fundraiser for a totsl of just over £57,(IxI for the year. This wa5 somewhat
down on expectation, partly because the Gala Fundfaiser was moved ffom Marth 2023 to April 2023. but 315Q
because the Trusts and FoundatKJns irKorne wa5 significantty down on previDU5 years. This is representative of a
nurnber of thing5'. rnany Trusts and Foundations h8ve been workin8 to a ievised stratey and criteria plan. based on
the amends they made to support organisat10115 in the aftermath of the Covid pandemic. Consequently, there are a
significant numberofthem who may pr￿lOUs￿ have supported arts Projects but repurposed theirfunds to support
the 5UStainability of charities who were in the greatest need. Secondty, our ￿serveS position. p05t-Covid. was
extremely healthy as funds desvdnated for tourin8 rernalned largety unspent. so our immediate need appeared less
urgent than many other charrties. This placed us in an unfavourable position when competing with those other
charities for funding from the same grant gr¥in8 bodies. A number Trust and Foundatii)n5 a150 reported that their
own ability to award grants was reduced. as so fflany of thern rely donations and rewm on investments. Both
sources of income were down on previous years.
There wa5 additionalty £82,250 of Trncome Benerated from toproduditin. br*x oTre. and guaraniees from touring

The Covid-19 pandemic zave greater emphasis on the need to inflate reser4fes ni orderto ensure the Company
remains viable in the event of another total shutdown of activity. The Reserves Polity now aims to hold the
equivalent of 3 months, core expenditureloperating costs Icurrentty eqUatir￿ to £91.0￿. plus the fiThancial

3. To ensure that our financial tomrnitmènts art horNwred should a production be forcibty cancelted before it 15

The Board have conchjded that the figure of £221,￿ reser￿ remains apFffopriate forthe scale, ambition. and
commitment levels ofthe ￿MPanY, particularty in this Pen.￿ of economic uncertainty.
Desi8nated reserves are also held for spend on the maiN production planned for 2024. This production is in line
with Rifto'5 busine55 model- to Stage a larger scale tour once ewy four years- as ouuined in ourArts Council

At l April 2023, unrestrirted reseThes decreased from the previous yearto E160.907 which is urca £60.903 below
the poliry figure. This figure is due to pre4pendin8 on our 2023D4 show Hoppy BfftrthdoySunito financial year,
