Financial Statements of the Trustees 5. Committee Reports ## **1. Chairman’s Introduction** Welcome to the 2024 AGM. Last year, I started my introduction with “Following last year’s introduction where I said that we have finally got back to performing after COVID, we have been hit by another issue, RAAC, which has impacted our ability to perform shows at The Orchard, however more of that in next year’s introduction!” So here we are a year later and still no change, at least for the next year, and so next year’s intro will be referring to the same thing! Having moved back to two Orchard shows last year, following the end of COVID restrictions, this year we have had to go back to one as The Orchard Theatre was closed in September 2023. We were all desperately disappointed to have to cancel Chitty with only a month to go, however after many, many conversations with the theatre’s management and the council, we had to admit defeat and cancel the show. Following more upheaval with the extended closure of The Orchard Theatre, we have had to once again change our plans for the 24/25 year, however I am pleased to say that the future is looking more certain as we have been in conversation with the theatre and council and have some exciting plans for shows going into 2025/26. Despite all of the issues we were going through, this wasn’t the end for our large musicals for the year! Following the unprecedented creation of the temporary theatre Orchard West, and the mobilisation of many people, we were able to produce the amazing revue, Curtain Up! In addition to this show, and despite the tough year, we still managed to produce two hall shows and three youth group shows, so it turned out to be a successful year in the end. For our main ‘Orchard show’, at Orchard West, the committee put a request out for a production team to put on a musical revue at the new venue and Laura Walsh, Ellie Beaumont and Matt Kellett-Baines came forward to put together the fantastic revue, Curtain Up! This was a show designed from scratch by the team, celebrating all musicals, with a nod to the history of DAODS shows as well as shows we may never be able to perform. The production was an amazing success and was a great demonstration of the depth of talent we have in our society. Well done to everyone involved! Earlier in the year and at Heathfields Hall, we had another revue, with a difference. Miscast was a revue where the genders were swapped. This show was created by Amy Farlie (Director and Choreographer) and Mark Fromings (Musical Director) but also gave the chance for a number of members to choreograph a routine of their own, once again demonstrating our depth in talent. The final hall show of our 2023/24 season for our adult group was our pantomime, Little Red Riding Hood. This was a panto written by Mark Fromings. Once again an amazing show which had adults and kids alike entertained over the 2 weeks. As always this show was a great artistic and financial success! Well done to Mark Fromings (Director and Musical Director) and Lauryn Fasakin (Choreographer). Finally, our youth group put on three productions – Did the Butler Do It/ Agamemnon & Clytemnestra (July 2023), A Christmas Carol Panto (Dec 2023) and the murder mystery, Bowing Out (Feb 2024). Well done to Matt Osborn and team, and in particular Elaine Mason for all of her work here. We also had a full social calendar putting on a number of events which have contributed towards our overall enjoyment of the society, as well as some much needed funds generation. Thanks to everyone who organised and attended these events. Last year, I reported that as a result of COVID and very low ticket sales over the last couple of years, our reserves have been hit by a reduction of over £40,000. However I am pleased to report that this year we have managed to recoup nearly half of that whilst we have been away from The Orchard due to being forced to put on lower cost productions. Although this is not our long-term plan, it has been helpful as we have been adjusting, post COVID. Every cloud………… We continue to focus on costs and increasing our income streams so that we can plan for a healthy future. Last year I predicted that we would aim to stay around the £150,000 - £155,000 level of Total Charity Funds, for the next 5 years, however In 2024, excluding the revaluation we are at £170,854. This is around £40,000 more than when we decided to move away from The Orchard Theatre in 2013/14, which remains a good measure of where we are financially. As I stated in last year’s report, we needed to look to put in place things that can grow other areas of income for the society in order to cover some of the losses on our main shows. This we continued to do during the year, namely: 1. Increasing the number of hall shows. This has continued to be the case this season and is forced upon us in the following, but we will continue to ensure we have a good programme of shows at Heathfields hall going forward. 2. Increased use of the bar. The bar refurbishment has largely been carried out this year, with some additional work rolled over into 2024/25. We now use the bar regularly after rehearsals, and due to increasing prices in line with the increased costs, we have brought our profit margin up to 41% in 23/24. The draft 24/25 figures are showing a profit percentage of 51% with the net income of around £6,000, which is moving towards the target of £10,000 I set last year. The investment in the bar has been for the benefit of the members but was also to make the hall more appealing to external hirers so that we could generate more income from sales from external events. Now the work has been completed, we will be focusing this year on looking to increase this so that it provides a valuable means of fundraising. 3. Review of our costs. This is an on-going exercise but we are committed to challenging costs wherever we can. Finally, our main aim is to keep performing great shows both at The Orchard and the hall, so as always, it is so important for all members, whether you are in the show or not, to promote our shows in order to generate ticket sales to support our cast but also our society’s financial future. We are lucky to have such a wonderful society and with all of our efforts, we can ensure we continue for many more years to come. ## **Paul Farlie** ## **2. Treasurer’s Report** ## **Financial Review 2023/24** The 2023/24 season is yet another season that has been impacted by events outside of our control, with the closure of The Orchard Theatre due to the discovery of RAAC in September 2023. This has resulted in fewer shows produced by us this year, which in turn has resulted in a bias towards our own venue, Heathfields Hall, with 5 out of 6 shows performed there. We produced one show at Orchard West, due to the venue type, the costs of which were lower than usual, and the rest from our hall – two for the adults and 3 for the Youth Group. The net impact on our surpluses from these shows was an increase of £16,626. |our surpluses from these shows was an increase of £16,626.|| |---|---| |The break down across shows can be summarised thus:|| |Curtain Up|£ 671| |Miscast|£ 3,540| |Little Red Riding Hood|£ 9,182| |Youth Group Shows:|£ 3,233| |Did the Butler Do It/Agamemnon & Clytemnestra|| |A Christmas Carol Panto|| |Bowing Out, a Murder Mystery|| |In addition, we had some costs related to other shows/cancellations:|In addition, we had some costs related to other shows/cancellations:| |---|---| |Our House – missing sound invoice from 2022/23|£ (2,306)| |Chitty Chitty Bang Bang – net loss after insurance claim|£ (1,079)| We are working with the council for some compensation for our loss on Chitty as well as other costs that we have incurred as a result of the closure of the theatre. All of the above has resulted in a net surplus from our shows of £12,287. This represents an increase in our net ‘show’ surplus/(deficit) from last year of £33,016. This due to all 23/24 shows having a surplus versus an extremely large deficit last year on Hello Dolly of £ (27,759). This production related surplus was increased by non-production related surplus of £5,858. This has roughly doubled from last year. Our main source of non-production related income is our subscription income, which was slightly down on last year but still sits around £9,000 at £8,886. We also received a net income from the Youth Group of £1,590 (£2,981 2022/23), excluding the show income. Other significant net income contributors are from the Bar of £3,976 (2022/23 £3,602), which although sales were down due to less use of the hall between September and December 2023, the profit percentage was up to 41% (32% 2022/23), Hall Hire of £1,820, Social and Fundraising of £898 and Gift Aid (2 years claimed) of £5,920. Our non-production costs consisted of Hall related expenditure of £22,408 (including Accountants fees), down £2,653 from last year. The decrease is due to a small reduction in energy bills and depreciation as well as the fact that last year we incurred a large legal bill for the lease renewal. In addition to the above, we had a healthy increase in the value of our investment of £2,862, complimented by a benefit of interest rate rises resulting in Interest Income of £1,231. In summary, as a result of all the above, our net surplus for the year on all activity was £18,145, which is comparable to the previous year’s net (deficit) of £ (18,925), a swing of over £37,000. I stated in the previous year’s accounts that if we reduce our deficit on Orchard shows to a normal level, we can return our financials to at least a breakeven position. This is borne out by the fact that when removing the Gift Aid of £5,000, our surplus would sit at around £12,000, the equivalent of two Orchard shows losses of £6,000 each. One final point to note in the accounts is that in June 2024 we had a valuation carried out on Heathfields Hall to support the lease renewal. The result of this valuation was an increase of around £54,000 to £63,500 as at the year end and is reflected in our reserves. ## **Format of the accounts** We adopt fully the idea of ‘fund accounting’. This means that we have to recognise all revenue when we receive it. For example, when we receive money for ticket sales for a show that will take place in the next financial year, we will have to account for the cash in the earlier financial year rather than declare it as Deferred Income on the Balance Sheet. This in turn means that when you read the financial statement the ‘Net Movement in Funds’ figure cannot be considered as profit but more as a growth or reduction in funds. It is a fact that we should not strictly use the word Profit for anything we do as we are a charity and are therefore considered as a ‘Not for Profit’ organisation. Which is why we use the terms Surplus and Deficit. ## **Funds and Reserves** The society currently has monetary reserves of £224,957 which is £72,385 greater than last year. These reserves are freely available for all and any activities of the society. Of this figure £24,950 has been designated for other purposes but can be used for any purpose should the trustees deem it necessary. The investment in the ’COIF Charities Fixed Interest Fund’ of £40,000, which stood at £43,167 at the end of last year, has increased in value to £46,029. The deposit account now stands at £97,986, as we must still maintain a balance that would cover the cost of an aborted Orchard show. ## **Paul Farlie on behalf of Elaine Mason** DARTFORD AMATEUROPERATIC DRAMATICSOCIETY INDEPENDEiYT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2024 INDEPENDENI.
