## **CHAIRMAN’S REPORT** 

For the year ended 

## **30 NOVEMBER 2023** 

My annual Chair report has mentioned strange times for some years now, and 2023 delivered again, in our 51st year of touring. 

Why strange times? One of the wettest summers on record, an entirely new cast of talented actor-musicians (we haven't had this for many years - the all-new cast, not the talent) a week of cast illness being covered by Artistic Director Marianne and other challenges ... all dealt with by our swan like board and our excellent office team. 

Despite the awful summer, audience figures did show some signs of post-pandemic recovery as we tipped just over the 13,000 mark. Thanks to all who came to watch a show! Both shows were received brilliantly, and we know we have made Mikron newcomers and stalwarts alike happy. 

Aside from our visible touring work, we’ve been busy: 

- developing new artists for 2024 and beyond with a new writers callout (63 submissions!) 

- working with East Riding Mobile Library Service on a research and development project 

- rebranding and launching a new website 

- creating a board ‘financial futures’ strategy 

- exploring future shows having integrated audio description 

The surplus of £24,487 we show in these accounts is truly remarkable, given the rising prices we are all enduring. We have benefited from higher interest rates on our savings (£7,970) and a continuation of the higher rate for Theatre Tax Relief, which is £10k higher than pre-covid. There has been extremely effective cost control in place - thanks are due to Janet, our board finance lead, Producer Pete and Rachel, for literally keeping our heads above water. 

Another huge contributory factor to this position - our amazing audiences and donors. 

Darren Henley, Chief Executive of Arts Council England came to see us in Marsden for the last performance of the year, and he commented on the remarkable love and support there is for Mikron and was astonished at the level of support we get from audiences and donors. 

He said he was proud to have Mikron in the National Portfolio. 

This all cements what we already know - we have a wonderful community around us. 

Thank you, from us all. 

MARK KELLY Chair 6 March 2024

## **DIRECTORS’ REPORT** 

For the year ended 

## **30 NOVEMBER 2023** 

The directors present their report and unaudited financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 30 November 2023. The directors have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the report and financial statements of the charitable company. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charitable company’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The charitable company’s principal activity during the year was that of providing theatrical and educational entertainment to the public at large in furthering the company’s charitable purposes for the public benefit. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The achievements and performance are covered in the Chairman’s Report on page 2 and the review of the financial year below. 

## **Review of the financial year** 

The attached financial statements show the results for the year with an excess of income over expenditure of £24,487 (2022: £16,662). 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees have reviewed the reserves of the company, being general unrestricted funds of £160,826 (2022: £134,968), unrestricted designated funds of £176,678 (2022: £176,614) and restricted funds of £363 (2022: £1,798), totalling £337,867 (2022: £313,380). In recognition of the relative uncertainty of incoming resources for the provision of the company’s activities, and in the light of lessons learnt through the pandemic, the Trustees have reviewed their reserves policy. The company is at its most vulnerable in the first six months of the financial year when costs of initiating the annual tour exceed income, which is traditionally earned during the second half of the year as the shows roll out. Whilst efforts are always directed at trying to mitigate this, it was felt prudent to adjust the reserves policy and to aim to be holding 6 months of expenditure at the end of each financial year and to monitor this target throughout the year using the monthly cash flow forecasts. Actual general unrestricted funds at 30 November 2023 equated to, based on expenditure in 2023, just over 6 months unrestricted expenditure. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

## Governing document 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 18 May 1972 and registered as a charity on 23 February 1973.  The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MIKRON THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 30 November 2023 which are set out on pages 6 to 19. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.  I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **MIKRON THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **30 NOVEMBER 2023** 

## 1 **Accounting policies** 

- a) General information and basis of preparation 

Mikron Theatre Company Limited is a registered charitable company limited by guarantee in the United Kingdom. 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. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements.  The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are detailed in the Directors’ Report. 

The charitable company constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. 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 (FRS 102) issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention and are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest pound. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.  These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

- b) Fund accounting 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Management Committee for particular purposes. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes.  The aim and use of restricted funds is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

- c) Income recognition 

   - All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. 

However, any income received during a financial period intended by the payer for use in funding expenditure of some future financial period is carried forward as deferred income until the period of intended use is reached. 

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS102). 

The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

## **MIKRON THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)** 

## **30 NOVEMBER 2023** 

## 1 **Accounting policies (continued)** 

- c) Income recognition (continued) 

Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and sponsorships and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.  Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. 

Investment income is included when receivable. 

- d) Resources expended 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.  Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries.  It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Governance costs, included within support costs in note 5, include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the accountancy fees. 

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource.  Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis. 

The charity makes contributions towards the Equity Pension Scheme, a Personal Pension Plan, for actors opted into the scheme and to other Personal Pension Plans for salaried employees.  Contributions are expensed as they become payable. 

- e) Tangible fixed assets 

Tangible fixed assets are included at cost less accumulated depreciation.  Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. 

Depreciation is provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful lives.  In the year of acquisition tangible fixed assets are depreciated from 1 December. 

Boat - 20% per annum straight line Van - 25% per annum straight line Staging, lighting and sound equipment - 25% per annum straight line Computer and office equipment - 25% per annum straight line

## g) Financial instruments
