THE NEW THEATRE ROYAL- TRUSTEES (PORTSMOUTH) LIMITED FINANCIAL STA TEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 CHAIR'S INTRODUCTION l am pleased to report that the New Theatre Royal, Portsmouth, has had another busy year with our audience numbers continuing to build. There were countless highlights in the programme. We were one of the venues on the World Premiere tour of Tole5from Acorn Wood" We hosted Les Enfants Terribles, world class production of "The House with Chicken Leg>, which was co-produced with HOME Manchester prior to their Christma5 run at London's 5outhbank Centre. We enjoyed the production by Say It Again, Sorry? of'trhe Importance of Being.... Earnest? a brand new interactive production inspired by Oscar Wilde's classic play following a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe. Our associate artists did not disappoint and produced some excellent work this year. Downtown Pompey's 'Sticky Floors and Polm Trees" supported by New Theatre Royal, The National Lottery and The Arts Council was 3 brand new original piece of heritage theatre that examined tho humanity, complexity and community of pubbing and clubbing in 80,5 Pompey. Filskit Theatre continued to produce wonderful shows for early years, including "Kaleidoscope" inspired by research into how a baby's sense of sight develops and how they instinctively begin to categorise colour. Produced by New Theatre Royal, Two Colours Ukrainian Choir presented an emotional, thought-provoking musical extravaganza, celebrating their heritage and highlighting the ongoing trauma the war in Ukraine has brought to their lives. Going to the theatre is an experience and l am incredibly proud of our excellent team of staff and volunteer5 who generate consistently excellent feedback from our visitors who comment on the warmth and service they experience when coming to our shows. This experience would not be possible without all the work that goes on behind the scenes. The Board of Trustees has continued to support the team with difficult decisions and I want to thank them for the support they provide all year round. The challenges of running a Grade I l* listed building continue and this will become an increasing focu5 of the staff and Board. We are grateful for our strong working partnership with Portsmouth City Council, owners of the building, in this regard. Finally, I would like to thank all those who buy tickets to our shows,. without an audience there is no theatre. We look forward to delivering more exciting shows next year with the support of our board, staff, volunteers, stakeholders and audience. Angela Parks Chair

THE NEW THEATRE ROYAL- TRUSTEES {PORTSMOUTH) LIMITED FINANCIAL STA TEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 TRUSTEES, REPORT Our year included these highlights.. al Our pantomime collaboration with Jordan Productions continued into its fourth year, with the production of Alladin, attracting the highest level of ticket sales year on year for our pantomime. bl We continued to partner with Associate Artists, Downtown Pompey, Filskit Theatre and Two Colours Ukrainian Choir, as they delivered projects to their own target groups.

FINANCIAL REVIEW Principal f inancial matters The statement of financial activity in these accounts shows a deficit of £175,186, including a depreciation charge of £53,25012023.' surplus £482,638). The reported surplus for 2022123 was not a fair reflection of financial activity, albeit it did reflect an encouraging recovery from the Covid closure period. It included the receipt of grants totalling £581,499 relating to previous years, which were not paid at the normal release time, so the outcome was distorted from a measure of current performance as a result.

THE NEW THEATRE ROYAL- TRUSTEES {PORTSMOUTH) LIMITED FINANCIAL STA TEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 TRUSTEES, REPORT The underlying result for 2022123 was a deficit of almost £IOO,000. These results were flattered by a still-depressed cost base coming out of the Covid closure period. which was not Sustainable in the longer term with the pressures it puts on a small team. During 2023124, additional recruitment and expansion in activity were planned, with a budgeted deficit of £200,000 for the year, which was to be funded from the delayed grant receipts. In that context, the actual deficit for the 2023-24 year of £175,186 was a slight improvement on that plan. Principal risks The Board has the responsibility for reviewing all risks facing the organisation and ensuring wherever possible that mitigation is in place. The Board has delegated the detailed examination of the risk register to the Finance and Risk Committee. In the current environment, NTR continues to face a range of significant risks, notwithstanding that its finances have been transformed by the release of withheld grants. The first principal risk is that the organisation is currently operating at a deficit and will eventually exhaust the cushion provided by the recent Arts Council grant release. It is important that we identify new funders and rebuild the confidence of existing funders in the strength of governance and the quality of the cultural programme. The second principal risk reflects the uncertain general economic environment. Consumer spending on arts events remains a readily avoidable expenditure when pressures increase on family budgets. Fundraising for grants and donations remains difficult. The third principal risk relates to the buildings and the fact that responsibility for maintenance will lie with NTR in the near future. To mitigate this risk, the Board is in the process of appointing a trustee with experience in thi5 area who can assess the maintenance cost exposure in collaboration with Portsmouth City Council. They will support the management team in working with PCC to ensure that the building is maintained appropriately. Investment powers and policv Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, NTR has the power to invest in any way the trustees wish in furtherance of its objective5. Reserves policy Reserves are to be spent lat the trustees, discretionl in furtherance of NTR'S objectives. The policy is to retain sufficient free reserves that equate to approximately three to four months of overhead expenditure. The calculation of free reserve5 ignores the fixed asset reserve but includes the designated sustainability reserve and adds back the long-term loan that is effectively permanent funding. Thi5 would provide sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs and the target level is currently around £225k. The value of the free reserves as at 31 March 2024 was £305k so the target was achieved. The trustees are resolved to continLJe to build up free reserves as a priority objective over the next few years.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially incon515tent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financi21 statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

THE NEW THEATRE ROYAL- TRUSTEES (PORTSMOUTH) LIMITED FINANCIAL STA TEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the statement of trustees, responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material rn isstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustee5 are re5pon5ible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to Issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, includ ing fraud. The extent to which our procedure5 are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: Based on our understanding of the Charity and the industry in which it operates, we identified that the principal laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements to be the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. In addition, the Charity is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence if any. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included.. Di5CUssions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud. Reading minutes of meeting of those charged with governance. Challenging assumptions made by management in their significant accounting estimate5 in particular those relating to provisions. 13

THE NEW THEATRE ROYAL - TRUSTEES {PORTSMOUTH} LIMITED FINANCIAL STA TEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT Enquiry of those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims. Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the busine55 rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transartions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilitie5 is available on the FRC'S website at: httP5'.//www.frc.org.uk/auditors/aLsdit-assurance/auditor-5-responsibilities-for-the-audit-of-the- fi/description-of-the-auditor's-responsibilities-for. This description forms part of our auditorfs report. Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company'5 member5 those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. // S.* 7oZSt Geoffrey Sc (Honsl FCA, Senior Statutory Auditor For and on behalf of Blue Spire Limited, Statutory Auditors Cawley Priory, South Reliant, Chichester, West Sussex P019 ISY 14

THE NEW THEATRE ROYAL - TRUSTEES (PORTSMOUTH) LIMITED FINANCIAL STA TEMFNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 ACCOUNTING POLICIES General information, scope and basis of the financial statements The New Theatre Royal Trustees (Portsmouthl Limited is an incorporated charity, limited by guarantee, incorporated in England with the company number 01266053. In the event of the NTR being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information page of these financial statements. The nature of the NTR'S operations and principal activities are outlined in the trustees, report. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021, the Charities Act 2011, the Companie5 Act 2006 and U K Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of NTR and rounded to the nearest £. 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. Incoming resources All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities ISOFAI when NTR is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. For donations to be recognised NTR will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained, then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of NTR and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. Investment income in the form of bank interest is recognised as the right to receive payment is established. For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified where it is not yet possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed. 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.

Staff costs, support cost5 and governance costs Support costs are those that assist the work of NTR but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. Staff costs have been allocated between costs of raising funds, charitable activities and governance costs on the basis of time spent by staff. Support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings and have been allocated to cost of raising fund5 and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Support costs have been allocated to charitable activities on the best estimate of the use of those resources. Governance costs are costs associated with the general running of NTR as opposed to the day to day activities. Governance costs have been allocated to cost of charitable activities on the basis they form part of carrying out those activities. Allocation of support costs and governance costs Support costs and governance costs are allocated to the different activities within expenditure on charitable activities on the basis of the number of clients involved in each activity. Employee benefits When employees have rendered service to NTR, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. Termination benefits are recognised on the same basis as expenditure as outlined above. NTR operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable. Tax NTR is considered to pass the tests set out in sections 466 to 493 Corporation Tax Act 2010 ICTA 20101, 35 such no corporation tax is payable on its activities.

Debtors and creditors receivable/ payable within one year Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expendittjre. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short~term highly liquid investments that are feadily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Fund accounting Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. Unrestricted desi nated funds are funds used, or set aside for use, for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.
