Part of the day involved an exercise in groups, each provKled with their own stsck of Lego bricks and pieces which we used to represent our m¢Jdel ofthe CLS Orchestra going fornyard-each reflecting relevance, differentiation and financlal sustainabillty, buifton a solid pktforni and values lo delr4er that mLssion. vision and strategy. It is ttsj earty to share the thinking WKlefy but whe it was dear that the macro and micro arts environments have continued to change dramalicalty from that whth defined Ihe'way Ahead. strategy we developed before COVID, our CO values and obiectsves remain conslant, defining our very special music-sharing in drflerent settings. The way in Wh we achieve th has already been changing - and at an even grealer pace since Rth¥an joined us. This will posiiivety affect the current year, and is shapin9 the budget for 2024r25, on whtch our Strateg planning and 'going COreM. viws are based. So. as we are in.a transitb)na5 phase of models. let rne rew1 on 2022r23. in tenns not of a strategic model, but of r81ovan¢e. difforentiation. financial sustslnability- th what we hoped for al the time of my last report and what has been achieved. To start al the end- at the rtsk of being a"spoilerf- we havp exeded eXFetstnS expressed in last yearfs Chairfs Statement. We achieved a surplus of £45.539 for 2022123 compared to a defrt of£68.879 in 2021r22. IAÈ increased our reseNes to £66,656 - broken down into £50.656 in unreStled funds and £16.000 in reStrted funds. So, after a year 120211221 of using part of cwr reserves lo invest in our strategy, this year the expectstions I shared with you regarding restoring slabilrty have been more than 1ustrfd. How did we gel the? A. Relevance For over a decade our focJJs has been heavily on Ihe reknn of what we are doing. and h¢y•V we do it. both on and off the stage.

CITY OF LONDON SINFONIA LIMITED CHAIRMAN'S REPORT B. Differnnllatlon Justifying ourexistence in a 7hy)rkl ofmary orchestras has been a eontinuous pre0patiOn throughout my Chaimanship.

This albwed us in my 2021122 report, togelher with other positive factors, to state the Board's confiderKe in CLS as 'going concern. despite the huge lth of clarty kM)king fOard through the windscreen. And we will be relying on many of these same factots to remain equally confident with regard to 'going concern, for the year ah - with overhead and VarIae costs continuing under very dose swts'ny, as any arts organisation requires in these diff11 times.
