FINANCIAL REVIEW
In this period the Trust was in receipt of revenue funding from London Borough of Havering and
Arts Council England.
The remainder of income usually earned. princlpally through box office sales, but also through
trading income. investment income, sponsorship arbd donations. QTH were able to benefit from
the increased Theatre Tax Credit late.
This was the ninth year in which the Trust commissioned its wholly-owned trading subsldiary
Hornchurch Productions Limit8d to produce all of thè productions led by Queen's Theatie
Hornchurch.
This ha8 made it possible to claim Theatre Tax Credit. eflectively reducing production costs
across all of the Trust's activities.
Total income for the year of £4.671,84412024- £4,698.3941 comprised of donations of £41.577
12024- £45,049), grant income of £1.209.26812024- £1,452,025). income from charitable
activities of É3,021,71112024- £2,695,094), investment income of £15,62512024- £25,109} and
other income of É383,66312024- £481,117).
Total expenditure for the year of £4.546,80912024- £4.877,6011 was made of direct costs of
theatre opeietions of £3,763,44812024- £4,179.3031, support costs of £766.27312024-
£676,050) and governance costs of £17,08812024- É22,2481.
The result lor the yearwas net income of £125,03512024- net expenditure of £179,207).
RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees have considered the risks to which the company is subject and have concluded
that it Is prudent to maintain an unrestricted reserve fund against those risks which cannot be
mitlEÈted through, for example, insurance policies.
The new unrestricted reserves policy is based on 8 we8k8 of turnover as adopted by many Arts
Council England funded organisations. Based on 2024-25 tuinover this would be valued at..
£711,972.

TrUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Free reserves at 31 March 2025 were É781.408. which represents 9.0 weeks ofturnover. The
charitywill seek to make a small surplus each year O¥Erthe next three year term in order 10
maintain the revised unrestricted reserve target.
GOING CONCERN
The Trustees have considered an initial deficit 2025-26 budget. to be reviewed and re-forecast
after the first quarter. 8nd nole that due to positive variance in the 2024-25 budget, Ihe
unrestricted reserves target is met and the projected deficit for 2025-26 mitigated against in
excess.
In view of ACE continued increased funding over the next yearwith no LBH reduction. the
Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity 8nd group have adequaie resources to
continue in operational existence forthe foreseeable future and for a period ot at least 12
months from the date of signature of the audit report of these financial statements.
