## HIGHBURY THEATRE CENTRE LIMITED 

## INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HIGHBURY THEATRE CENTRE LIMITED 

## Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of Hightbury Theatre Centre Limited (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 July 2023 which comprise of Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet and 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 Financial Reporting Standard 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: 

- e give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 July 2023, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- e 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 responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 charitable company'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 trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and 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.

## HIGHBURY THEATRE CENTRE LIMITED 

## INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HIGHBURY THEATRE CENTRE LIMITED 

Matters on which we are required to report by exception 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- e the information given in the trustees’ report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- e sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or e the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or e we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

## Responsibilities of trustees 

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 4, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes 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 charitable company’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 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 

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: 

We focused on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatements in the annual report, including, but not limited to the Charities Act 2011. Our tests included agreeing the annual report disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management and third party representatives. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the annual report, the less likely we would become aware of it. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud. As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

## INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HIGHBURY THEATRE CENTRE LIMITED 

## Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued) 

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of the instances of noncompliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the FRC's website at: httos://www.fre.org.uk/auditors/audit-assurance/auditor-s-responsibilities-for-the-audit-of-the-fi/description-ofthe-auditor%E2%80%99s-responsibilities-for. This description forms part of our auditor's report. 

## Use of our report 

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s trustees 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 trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

Basis of preparation 

Highbury Theatre Centre Limited is a registered incorporated charity registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accountancy Practice. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. The policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

Company status The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the trustees named on page 1. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. 

## Income recognition 

Income is included in the accounts as soon as the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is certain that the resources will be received, and the amount is known. 

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS102). Further detail is given in the Directors and Trustees Reports. 

The charity received government grants in respect of Covid-19. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred. 

## Expenditure recognition 

Expenditure, and any associated liability is recognised when there is legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. 

- e Direct charitable expenditure — these include costs allocated to the direct generation of income. e Other expenditure — these are all other costs associated with charity governance, depreciation, and administrative expenses. 

## Tangible fixed assets and depreciation 

Depreciation is being charged by annual instalments commencing with the year in which the assets are first available for use, so as to write off each asset's cost, less any residual value, over its anticipated useful economic life. The following rates of depreciation have been used: 

Freehold Buildings - 2% Straight line Plant & Equipment - 10% Reducing balance

HIGHBURY THEATRE CENTRE LIMITED 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023 

2. INCOME FROM DONATIONS AND LEGACIES 

| 

| | 

Revaluation of tangible fixed assets 

Under previous UK GAAP the company had a policy of revaluing freehold land and buildings. On transition to FRS102 the charity has elected to use the previous revaluation at 31 July 2013 as the deemed cost for those assets. 

## investment properties 

Investment properties are measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognised in net gains/(losses) on investments in the SOFA. 

## Stock 

Stock has been valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. 

## Short term debtors and creditors 

Debtors and creditors receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. 

## Fund accounting 

Unless otherwise stated all funds belonging to and generated by the charity are unrestricted in nature, and can be expended by the trustees, for the furtherance of the objects of the charity, at their discretion. 

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

## Going concern 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising the financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
