CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

For the year ended

30 NOVEMBER 2024

What a year.

The year started badly with the very wet weather at the beginning of the boat tour, allied with major engine issues on our beloved Tyseley, however this ended up with us seeing one the most successful seasons we've ever had, with a dream team of four actor-musicians and a great creative team. We finally saw audience figures returning to pre-covid levels - almost 15,000. I hope this is the last mention of the pandemic in my Chair reports. It really has had such a huge effect on such a small organisation like Mikron.

‘Common Ground’ had a 5 star and several 4 star reviews. Supporters loved the ‘right to roam’ message and some of the venue settings were the best backdrops we could ever wish for.

‘Jennie Lee’ captured the imagination of the nation. Fabulous reviews from the Guardian, Yorkshire Post and various theatre blogs complimented our audiences' appreciation. Performing the show with Lawrence Batley Theatre in Huddersfield on election night was a real highlight of the year.

We’ve continued our brilliant project with East Riding Mobile Library service. The research period finished this financial year, and our artistic team has moved on to the drafting stage for a show to be toured in 2026. Our Arts Council England support has made all this possible.

I would also like to give special mention to the team at Northwich Drydock, the engineers we dragged out of retirement and Marianne and the team for persevering with what was a very difficult year, mechanically! We are indebted to Caulcutt Boats for their assistance with an emergency boat loan and a donation from Beegrip that virtually covered the entire engine work.

The surplus of £57,659 we show in these accounts is nothing short of miraculous, given the climate in the touring theatre sector. Once again testament to the sterling work undertaken by one of our trustees, Janet, alongside Pete and Rachel keeping a very close eye on every single line of expenditure. The surplus can be accounted for by a one off £10k in memory donation that created the “The Christine Tomlinson Emerging Artist Fund", and £40k from increases in 'pay what your feel' collections, box office, merchandise and donations.

This season saw Lisa leave the board of trustees after five years of service. She has revolutionised lots of our administration processes and we’re still very much in touch. Rebekah ‘Bex’ Hughes has also moved on to pastures new after nearly 25 years at the musical helm. They have both shaped Mikron and on behalf of the board and entire company, I can’t thank them enough.

Once again, audiences, donors, creatives, funders, board and staff - thank you.

MARK KELLY Chair 3 March 2025

MIKRON THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

For the year ended

30 NOVEMBER 2024

The directors present their report and unaudited financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 30 November 2024. 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 £57,659 (2023: £24,487).

Reserves policy

The Trustees have reviewed the reserves of the company, being general unrestricted funds of £187,258 (2023: £160,826), unrestricted designated funds of £Nil (2023: £176,678) and restricted funds of £208,268 (2023: £363), totalling £395,526 (2023: £337,867). 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 a minimum of 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 2024 equated to, based on expenditure in 2024, just under 8 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 2024 which are set out on pages 6 to 20.

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.

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.

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.

MIKRON THEATRE COMPANY LIMITED

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

30 NOVEMBER 2024

1 Accounting policies (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

The designated fund was established in 2011 order to fund the future purchase and/or improvement of our boat and van.

The trustees agreed to create new designated unrestricted fund to be called The James Sykes Memorial Fund. This fund is for all future legacies, in-memory giving and funds that the trustees see fit, to help us build future resilience.

In 2024 the trustees re-designated these funds as restricted funds. This will allow management of specific expenditure to be charged against them with board authorisation.
