## 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.

## **Investments**
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds and similar investments are valued at initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at the year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investments held for resale or pending their sale and cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than 1 year are treated as current asset investments
**Stocks and work in** Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net **progress** realisable value.
Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock. Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at **Debtors** settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
The charity has has investments which it holds for resale or pending their sale and cash and **Current asset** cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit and **investments** cash equivalents with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due.
They are valued at fair value except where they qualify as basic financial instruments.

## **Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)**
## **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.
