## **TALISMAN THEATRE COMPANY** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023**_ 

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2023. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the financial statements and comply 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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016) 

## **Objectives and activities** 

To present, promote, organise, provide, manage and produce such plays, dramas, comedies, operas, operettas, burlesques, films, broadcasts, concerts, musical pieces, puppet shows, ballets, entertainments and exhibitions, whether on any premises of the CIO or elsewhere, as are conducive to the promotion, maintenance, improvement and advancement of education or to the encouragement of the Arts. 

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **Financial review** 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. This includes taking out additional Insurance whilst the Building Works are in progress. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. 

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: 

Nigel Elliott Richard Thacker Stephen Duckham Philip Bowser Kerrie McCann Corrina Jacob Rosemary Gowers 

(Resigned 23 October 2022)

## **TALISMAN THEATRE COMPANY** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023**_ 

The Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) has a Governing Document (the Constitution of the CIO) and a subsidiary set of “Rules of the CIO.” The Constitution provides that the CIO shall have a committee that will be responsible for the general running of the CIO (“the Executive Committee”).  Members of the Executive Committee are appointed annually by the members of the CIO at the Annual General Meeting, in accordance with the Rules of the CIO from time to time in place. The Executive Committee meets in the period immediately following each Main House Production. 

Charity Trustees are then appointed by the Executive Committee, from amongst their number. The Members, or the Charity Trustees, may also at any time decide to appoint a new Charity Trustee, whether in place of a Trustee who has retired or been removed in accordance with clause [15] (Retirement and removal of charity trustees) of the Constitution, or as an additional Charity Trustee, provided that the maximum number of 12 Trustees is not exceeded. 

The Trustees formed a new company called Talisman Theatre Productions Limited which was incorporated on 6 September 2021 with a registration number of 13603573. This company was formed to deal with the Box Office business and forms part of the VAT Accounting Group. The Trustees named above are directors of the company. 

The Charity Trustees meet quarterly. They are satisfied that the CIO has continued to work within the Purpose and Objectives of the Charity and review the Policies and Procedures of the CIO annual/bi-annual (dependant on the policy) in conjunction with the Executive Committee. These include: - 

- Child Safeguarding 

- Anti-Bullying and Harassment. 

- Vulnerable Adults Safeguarding. 

- Computer, Internet and Email use. 

- Financial Procurement, Delegated controls, Financial Governance. 

- Theatre Overall Risk Assessment, Theatre Fire Risk Assessment. 

- Data Protection 

- Health and safety 

- Diversity. 

- During this year an expenses policy was created and approved 

All appropriate Theatre’s Policies are made available on our website. 

**Child Protection** : There have been no reported incidents during the year. 

**Health and Safety:** – four incidents were reported during the year to 31 July 2023 

|8 August 2022|Actor|Abrasion to forearm|
|---|---|---|
|5 December 2022|Actor|Bruising to face|
|19 March 2023|Crew|Abrasion to hand followed by faint|
|12 May 2023|Audience member|Trip on auditorium stairs|



In each case, no further action was required as the injured party did not request nor attend any further medical advice. On investigating the cause of each incident, it was assessed that other than briefing, there was nothing we could reasonably do further to avoid these accidents. 

The Trustees have continued to work to ensure the building is a safe place in which to carry out our activities, as part of this we are working with a new volunteer, experienced in health and safety, to review our current overall theatre and fire risk assessments.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023**_ 

## **Activities of the Charity** 

The period under review is notable for the impact of the development of the foyer area on audiences and front of house teams, although despite this we continued to see growing audiences (post Covid). 

We kept Coronavirus Risk Assessments under constant review and removed them in the early part of the period, but continued to urge patrons to consider whether to attend if they were unwell. 

The Trustees and the Executive Committee moved back to face-to-face meetings. 

October 2022 saw the 80[th] Anniversary of the Talisman Theatre and which kicked off with a very successful gala performance of The Railway Children, followed by an Anniversary Ball and ‘In Conversation with Andrew Davies’, one of the Theatre’s patrons and BAFTA Fellow 

The building work meant outside letting opportunities were limited but at the end of the period we welcomed back The Made in 48 House company. 

_**PHASE 1 Building Extension -**_ Work continued throughout the period towards completing the extended foyer area. We continued to welcome audiences in the car park marquee up until November.  Negotiations with the building contractor meant audiences could be welcomed inside from the Pantomime onwards, although it was nearly the end of the season and Pride & Prejudice before it was substantially complete. We are grateful for the patience and resilience our audiences and front of house teams have shown. 

The Foyer Sub-committee met regularly in the early part of the period and presented recommendations to the Executive Committee on colour schemes, and treatments of the various sub-areas of the foyer e.g., box office, etc. 

Whilst funding was in place at the start of Stage 1, the impact of Brexit and Covid on materials and supply chains, saw delays in progress of the build as well as increased cost. We’re grateful for additional funding received during the period to support completion of the works, particularly from Kenilworth Town Council. At the end of the period work was substantially complete with focus moving to final snags and furnishing the new space. 

## **During the reporting period, the following Main House Productions were staged:** 

|Sept 2022|The Ladykillers|Oct 2022|The Railway Children|
|---|---|---|---|
|Nov 2022|Children of the Wolf|Dec 2022|Goldilocks & the 3 Bears|
|Feb 2023|Ladies Down Under|Mar 2023|Around the World in 80 Days**/Twinkle|
|Apr 2023|The Girl on the Train|May 2023|Don’t Dress for Dinner|



Jun 2023 Pride & Prejudice* 

*Andrew Davies agreed to adapt his much-acclaimed 1995 screen play of Pride & Prejudice into a stage play and we were delighted to be given the opportunity to perform the world premiere. **Youth Theatre production 

## **And the following films were screened:** 

Aug 2022 222 Downton Abbey –   A Oct 2022 West Side Story New Era Nov 2022 Top Gun - Maverick Mar 2023 Operation Mincemeat Apr 2023 Mrs Harris goes to Paris Jun 2023 Banshees of Inisherin Jul 2023 Leave No Trace 

The **“Tea with The Tali** ” short plays, which grew out of a desire to keep theatre alive during lockdown, came to a natural end in the autumn of 2022 having been very successful and out of which grew Talisman Fringe.

## **TALISMAN THEATRE COMPANY** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023**_ 

The **“Talisman Fringe”** continued to play each month at the Holiday Inn, with breaks in August and January. We’ve seen growing and ‘new’ audiences and a wide range of both Talisman members and guest artists appearing as well as a range of genres being performed. We’ve been delighted to invite guest companies including Side by Side, Fiery Feet Dance Company, Pop Voices Choir and Kenilworth School. 

The Trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TALISMAN THEATRE COMPANY** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Talisman Theatre Company (the charity) for the year ended 31 July 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the Trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act). 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination,  I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ICAEW, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- 4 the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

## **TALISMAN THEATRE COMPANY** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Talisman Theatre Company is a Charitable Incorporated Organsation registered in England and Wales. The registered office is Barrow Road, Kenilworth, Warwickshire, CV8 1EG. 

## **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 charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

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

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **1.3 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. 

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. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **(Continued)** 

## **1.4 Tangible fixed assets** 

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

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Fixed Assets 

## Various 

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 the statement of financial activities. 

## **1.5 Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date.  Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. 

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. 

## **1.6 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). 

## **1.7 Stocks** 

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost. 

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