Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	Norfolk Symphony Orchestra is in a very healthy financial position at the end of the period, following the receipt of a significant legacy donation, and it is well placed to cope with rising costs expected in future seasons.

Also, Gift Aid and Orchestra Tax Relief (claimed by the production company) are typically received after our financial year end, but are factored into our budgeted expenditure for the season; reserves allow us to do this. The Orchestra currently has higher reserves than required, following the legacy this season, and the committee has responded with some ambitious programming (with the consequence of a deficit budget for 2024/25) and is exploring opportunities for further community outreach.

NSO Treasurer’s Report

Year Ending 31 Aug 2024

Norfolk Symphony Orchestra produced five concerts during the season. Membership, Friends and ticket sales remained reasonably stable.

Ticket sales were in line with expectations, although it is noted that they remain – for most concerts – a little lower than our best pre-pandemic seasons. Ticket sales for our ‘film music’ concert in January 2025 were exceptionally good, however, with a total of 616 seats sold (of which 74 were free tickets for young concert-goers under 18).

NSO has continued to benefit from a higher rate of Orchestra Tax Relief recoverable by the production company. Following a further Government announcement in the 2024 Spring Budget, NSO’s future season plans now take into account the new 45% permanent rate of Orchestra Tax Relief (applicable from April 2025).

Within the season, the orchestra received a donation by way of a legacy from a former Friend of the orchestra, in a sum of just over £29,000. We are very grateful for this generous donation, which helps us to plan more confidently for future seasons.

The orchestra also received a donation of over £2300, resulting from the closure of King’s Lynn Music Society. It is sad to see another local organisation, promoting the enjoyment of classical music, reach a point where it could no longer continue to operate, and we are grateful that the Society considered us a suitable beneficiary for a portion of its remaining reserves.

The orchestra ended the season with a surplus of £35,813, comprising £31,430 of exceptional items detailed above, and £4383 on our usual activities. Orchestra net assets at the end of the season were £59,958, including £46,790 cash held in our bank accounts. The committee has taken advantage of better interest rates on savings, and these significant reserves, by opening a highinterest instant-access savings account and a fixed-term savings account, maximising our return on reserves while we make plans to use them for public benefit.

Looking ahead to the 2024-25 season, we anticipate cost increases in connection with venue hire and extra musicians, and higher expenditure on soloists and music hire, and we have budgeted accordingly. We have put together a varied, ambitious and popular programme and we have good reason to be optimistic for the orchestra’s medium- to long-term future.

Note 29 Additional Disclosures

The following are significant matters which are not covered in other notes and need to be included to provide a proper understanding of the accounts. If there is insufficient room here, please add a separate sheet.

A minor error has been identified with the 2021-22 accounts, in the Statement of Financial Activities. Expenditure on charitable activities (rounded) was £22,149, not £22,150 as stated. This error was not replicated in the Balance Sheet, whose Total Funds figure at year-end, £24,145, was the correct one.

The error is not material and therefore does not require a full restatement of the prior year accounts. The error has been rectified in this year's accounts, by stating the correct figure £22,149 in column F05 of row S09 on the Statement of Financial Activities, bringing the 'total funds' figure in that document in line with the Balance Sheet.
