Regent's Park Theatre Limited Trustees, Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 (continued) Senior Staff Remuneratlon The Trustees are solely responsible for setting and reviewing the remuneration of the Joint Chief Executives in line with thelr contractual enlillements. The remuneration of other senior staff is reviewed annually by the Executive Director and may be increased within the overall budgets approved by the Trustees to take into account inflation and individuals, duties and performance. Charity Governance Code The Trustees have had due regard for the God8 and will review and consider the updated version {as of Ncvember 20251 throughout 2028. Financial Revlew Incoming resources decreased by 4% to £8,665,030 (2024 r&staled.' £9,043,529) and total funds decreased by £320,220 to £8,891,47212024.. £9,211,692). This was primarily due to Brigadoon underperforming at the box office, not h81ped by both wet Weather and transport strikes in September 2025. Th6 charity's wholly owned subsidiary Regent's Park Enterprises Ltd. operates our bar and dining facilities. Th8 year ended 31 December 2025 saw income increase lo £1,202,55812024'. £1,190,501) and a profit for the year of £84,849 (2024.. £98,184). This slight decrease in profits compared to 2024 was primarily due to increased staff wages, salaries and Social security C08ts as well as admlnislrative overheads. Th8 charity's wholly owned subsidiary Regent's Park Productions Ltd. produces some of the productions staged at the theatre under a commissioning agreement. The year ended 31 Dember 2Q25 saw an inc888 in commissioning fees re¢8ivable from Regent's Park Theatre Ltd. to £3,691,655 (2024.. £3,426,631) and an increase in theatre tax relief to £1,035,56312024'. £967,360). This increas8 is primarily due to 2024's theatre tax relief claim for The Enormous Crocodile being processed by the lead co-producer for that project (Leeds Playhouse) instead of the charity. Commissioning fees receivable are equal to the subsidiary's costs less provision for theatre tax relief and as a result the subsidiary broke even in the years to 31 December 2024 and 2025. Due to several years of inactivity, the charity's wholly owned subsidiary R8gent's P8rk Ventures Ltd. was dissolved on the 30 September 2025.

Regent's Park Theatre Limited Independent Auditors, Report to the Members and Trustees of Regent's Park Theatre Limited (continued) Our responsibility is to read th8 other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent wlth the financial statements or our knowl8dge obtained in the audit or Otheise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determin8 whether this gives rise to a material mlsslatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work w8 have perfomied, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that facl. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinions on other matters prescribed by th8 Companles Act 2006 In our opinion based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit the informatlon givèn in the trustees, report, which includes the strategic report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistenl with the financial slatem&nts', and the strategic report included within Ihe trustee8' report have been prepared In accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Regent's Park Theatre Limited Independent Auditors, Report to the Members and Trustees of Regent's Park Theatre Limited (continued) the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to Gease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are lo 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 IUKI will always detect a material misslatemenl 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 influenGe the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations are set out below. A further description of our responsibilities for the audil of thè financial stalem8nts is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at.. www.frc.or .ukJaudilorsres onsibililies. This description forms part of our auditor's report. Extent to which the audit was consldered capable of detecting Irregularities, Including fraud Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstalemenl of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or èrror, and discussed these between our audit team members, Wè then designed and performed audit proGedures responsive lo those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate lo provide a basis for our opinion. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company and group operate, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, including financial reporting legislation and the Charities SORP {FRS 1021, and UK tax regulations. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial Statement Items. In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and règulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be necessary to the group's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with thèse laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the group for fraud. We identified the greatest risk of material impact on financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the recognition of Theatre Tax Relief IThR), the recognition of Fiddler on the Roof co-production net results and management override of controls. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management and the Finance, Audit & Risk Committee about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing regulalory correspondence with the Charity Commission, reviewing the wording of the co-production agreements, reviewing the TTR calculations prepared and reading minutes of meetings ofthose charged with governance. 22
Regent's Park Theatre Limited Independent Auditors, Report to the Members and Trustees of Regent's Park Theatre Limited (continued) Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidabSe risk that we may nol have detected some rnaterial misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations {irregularitiesl is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, th816ss likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addilion, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularit18s, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations. Use of our report This report Is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in a¢¢ordance with Chapter 3 of Part 18 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state lo the charitable company's members and trustees, those Matters we ar8 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 members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
