The committee are pleased with the results for the year given the general cost of living pressures on personal spending. At the start of the year, the charity had reserves of £44,836, transfer from the unincorporated charity. During the year the reserves increased by £46,061.
At the end of the year, reserves were £90,897.

## **St Joseph's Players Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of St Joseph's Players For the Period 20 March 2024 to 30 June 2025**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of St Joseph's Players (the Trust) for the period ended 30 June 2025.
## **Responsibilities and Basis of Report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and contents of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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 accounts to be reached.

## **St Joseph's Players Notes to the Financial Statements For the Period 20 March 2024 to 30 June 2025**
## 1. **General Information**
St Joseph's Players is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charity Commission, registered charity number 1207535. The principal address is .
## 2. **Accounting Policies**
## 2.1. **Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) "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)", Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Charities Act 2011.
The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
## 2.2. **Incoming Resources**
Income is recognised on a receipts basis.
The main source of income is from ticket sales for productions and grant received for repair of building. Grants are recorded in the year of receipt. Investment income is recorded in the year of receipt.
## 2.3. **Resources Expended**
Expenditure is recorded when goods and services are paid for.
## 2.4. **Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation**
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures & Fittings
20% straight line
## 2.5. **Stocks and Work in Progress**
Stocks and work in progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slowmoving stocks.
Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.
Work in progress is reflected in the accounts on a contract by contract basis by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses.
At the end of each reporting period stocks are assessed for impairment. If an item of stock is impaired, the identified stock is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell and an impairment charge is recognised in the statement of financial activities. Where a reversal of the impairment is required the impairment charge is reversed, up to the original impairment loss, and is recognised as a credit in the statement of financial activities.
## 2.6. **Cash and Cash Equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.
