## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ 

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2022. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 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** 

The objective and aim of the Company is to advance education in the arts for the benefit of the Public by production of performance art, including drama, music, dance and other performing arts, and by encouraging and providing facilities for the understanding, appreciation and development of performing arts, creative arts and visual arts. And in furtherance of these objects, to provide and manage a theatre and performance venue in Beverley, East Riding of Yorkshire. 

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

## **Significant activities** 

On 14th March 2020 East Riding Theatre closed as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic. The Theatre remained closed throughout the year to 30th June 2021 and did not reopen until July 2021. Audiences were limited to around 50% of maximum capacity for the first few months and returned full capacity for the 2021 Christmas show (with a few restricted capacity performances offered). Audiences picked up a little in the second half of the year but did not recover to pre-pandemic levels. 

## **Public benefit** 

On reopening the company has resumed its public benefit obligations. There were two weeks of Summer School in July 2021 and three weeks are planned for July 2022.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ 

## **Achievements and performance** 

East Riding Theatre opened its doors in December 2014 and has had great success in presenting high quality, professionally produced drama. The theatre also hosts music and comedy events and provides training and development opportunities for communities in the East Riding of Yorkshire. 

In 2021 ERT updated its mission statement and aims as follows: 

ERT produces high-standard, life affirming plays and presents a variety of performing arts to enhance the lives of our local community through creative engagement for all. 

## **Our Vision is to:** 

## **Engage in:** 

Relevant and life affirming high quality productions Delivery of a diverse and financially sustainable artistic programme Measurable audience development Organisation-wide and long-term commitment to diversity and inclusion Short and long-term access solutions for people who have disabilities Realistic ways to improve environmental sustainability Specific creative experiences and community participation 

## **Reach Out:** 

Education and community engagement projects for specific target groups Through volunteering programmes Broaden and measure ERT’s marketing capability and website accessibility Collaborate with other Arts organisations 

Through outreach and in-house education programmes and training to audiences who have disabilities. 

ERT presents drama from several sources as follows: 

**In-house productions –** In-house shows are produced by ERT, and all costs and revenues are managed by ERT. The choice of what to produce is made by our Artistic Director in consultation with the Board. This year ERT has created three in-house shows: - _The Dumb Waiter_ ; _The Hound of the Baskervilles_ ; and our Christmas production - _Frost Hollow Hall_ . 

**Company in Residence** – SHE productions continued in their role as Company in Residence, staging shows for both adults and children. 

**Incoming Shows** - ERT is a receiving house for shows produced by other companies. The company has developed relationships with other companies including the John Godber Company, Theatre Royal Wakefield, Paines Plough, York St John University. Visiting companies receive a share of box office sales with ERT and cover all their own production costs. 

**Festivals** – ERT hosts festivals, including the biennial Beverley Puppet Festival and Stage4Beverley Music festival. Programming and planning festivals sits with the festival organisers and ERT charge a fee for use of the building, technical staff, and a fee for box office administration. 

**Music and Comedy** - Hosting incoming music, comedy and spoken word shows provides a more varied programme encouraging those who might not otherwise attend the theatre as well as being financially beneficial to ERT. These shows help to develop and broaden our audience as well as expanding it geographically, with audiences often coming from further afield than our regular theatre audiences. The visiting companies and performers share receive a share of box office sales with ERT and cover all their own production costs. 

**Learning and Development** - ERT is committed to developing talent particularly among young people who would not otherwise have had the opportunity to experience theatre, and in developing personal skills through participation in drama and music. During 2021/22 ERT organised two summer schools in drama and musical theatre.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ 

## **Financial review** 

## **Reserves policy** 

It is the policy of East Riding Theatre to hold a reserve of at least £100,000 to mitigate the risks associated with income failing to materialise. As a result of the enforced closure of the Theatre in March 2020 and subsequent reduced activity this year, the Board determined that should it be necessary the Theatre would call on reserves to cover any essential spending during the closure. During 2020/21 the theatre was able to maintain funds of over £100,000 and the trustees hope to rebuild reserves as activity increases. 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

ERT holds cash in its current accounts and on deposit. The trustees have adopted a prudent, risk averse policy in respect of its cash holdings. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. 

As part of the ongoing management of the organisation ERT has produced a risk register to identify the key risks it faces and indicate how each risk is managed. The risk register has been drawn up in consultation with the ERT Board, key members of staff and volunteers. 

Each risk and its associated mitigations are monitored by the Board and the Management team to ensure they are properly managed and remain up to date and relevant. The risk register is formally reviewed annually by the Board. 

## **Future plans** 

By 30 June 2022 theatre activity had almost returned to pre-pandemic levels and the trustees expect the business to recover quickly. Daytime operation of the café has been limited but it is hoped will pick up over the near term. 

East Riding of Yorkshire Council, who own the freehold to the building and the adjoining land on Lord Roberts Road, put the site up for sale. After further consideration ERYC decided to exclude the Theatre Building from the sale and proceed only with the adjoining land. It is understood that a buyer has been chosen but their identity is not known. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF EAST RIDING THEATRE LIMITED** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of East Riding Theatre Limited (the charity) for the year ended 30 June 2022. 

## **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.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

East Riding Theatre Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 10 Lord Roberts Road, Beverley, East Yorkshire, HU17 9BE, 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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). 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. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes. 

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. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

## **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. 

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.

**Financial Statements at 16 January 2023 at 12:49:41 EAST RIDING THEATRE LIMITED** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

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. 

Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes. 

## **1.5 Resources expended** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **1.6 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: 

|Leasehold improvements|33% on cost|
|---|---|
|Plant and equipment|33% on cost|
|Fixtures and fittings|33% on cost|
|Computers|33% on cost|



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 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. 

## **1.8 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).

**Financial Statements at 16 January 2023 at 12:49:41 EAST RIDING THEATRE LIMITED** 

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** 

## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. 

## **1.9 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. 

## **1.10 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## **1.11 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. 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans 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 payments 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 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.12 Employee benefits** 

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

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## **1.13 Retirement benefits** 

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

## **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.

## **19 Designated funds** 

The income funds of the charity include the following designated funds which have been set aside out of unrestricted funds by the trustees for specific purposes: 

|<br>Provision for productions|**Balance at**<br>**1 July 2021**<br>**£**<br>18,725<br>18,725|**Transfers**<br>**Balance at**<br>**30 June 2022**<br>**£**<br>**£**<br>13,487<br>32,212<br>13,487<br>32,212|**Transfers**<br>**Balance at**<br>**30 June 2022**<br>**£**<br>**£**<br>13,487<br>32,212<br>13,487<br>32,212|
|---|---|---|---|
||||32,212|



East Riding Theatre produces its own shows and this carries a substantial risk, especially so because of Covid. Each show has to be funded up front and costs will only be covered if there are sufficient ticket sales or project grants. Therefore the directors have adopted a new policy of designating funds to cover budgeted production costs within the next four months.
