Treasurer Annual Report – Sep 2025

Overview and current position

I have been treasurer since 2019 AGM.

At the start of the financial year 1[st] July 2024 the assets were as follows

Equipment £ 2,827 Additions £ 1,010 Less accumulated depreciation (£ 2,811) Fixed assets £ 1,026 Debtors & Prepayments £ 2,212 Current Account £ 6,927 Petty Cash £ 156 Current Assets £ 9,295 Creditors & Accruals (£110) Totalling £ 10,211

The examined accounts show assets as of the 30[th] June 2025 are as follows

Equipment £ 3,837 Additions £ 0 Less accumulated depreciation (£ 3,408) Fixed assets £ 429 Debtors & Prepayments £ 1,332 Current Account £ 16,020 Petty Cash & Float £ 156 Totalling £ 17,508 Accumulated fund £ 17,937

The financial position compared to twelve months ago has again improved considerably with £ 7,726 more in the company accumulated fund.

A lot of hard work has gone into fundraising and reclaiming money (Gift Aid) this year and all of that has helped with the financial position of the company, we cannot afford to relax though and budgets will still be strictly monitored for productions.

Changes over the year

It has been another busy year with £71,714 of transactions through the accounts, this is up on the £53,000 in 2023/24.

Show Accounts

In The Spotlight returned a profit of £ 2,423

SPAMALOT returned a profit of £ 491

Both the productions did well, the low costs and the generous donations of time and equipment for In the Spotlight in particular helped to turnover the profit.

There was also a substantial donation to SPAMALOT and generous discounts on services provided by a number of departments on the technical side, again thank you to those that helped in this way.

Chesham Fringe (£ 79)

Unfortunately, this was not echoed on the Chesham Fringe concert and affording the company a loss of £ 79. This was the first time CMTC had participated and much was learnt about action and timing to get a good venue along with costs related to rehearsing and supporting the event.

Total profit on shows £ 2,835

Gift Aid

Gift aid claims were submitted in 2024 and paid into these accounts for 2025.

Total Gift aid paid to the company from HMRC £ 3,678

If everyone that COULD allow gift aid claims on their memberships/donations had done so in the last 4 years then the payment would be nearer to £ 7,000.

Memberships

Memberships subscriptions £2,273 are slightly up on last year, but still not at the levels we have previously seen. There are currently around 62 members (paid and life).

Other Income

There was £ 400 in microphone hire income and £ 426 in costume sales/hire.

Other Income totals £ 3,099

Social

A Quiz night in February made £497 and other income totalled £ 917

Launch Nights – In the Spotlight loss (£ 45); SPAMALOT made £15; In the Spotlight 2025 made £23; Sweeney Viewing loss (£67) and other expenses totalled £ 494.

Social Profit £ 423

Donations

Individual donations of £ 130; Just Giving donations of £32

Donations £ 162

General

In The Spotlight 2025 is being prepared for October in the Little Theatre, if you are not in the show please do come along and support your fellow members and the company, we want to ensure we make a profit to put towards the spring 2025 production.

42[nd] Street has been booked for May 2026 and the initial deposit paid for the licence.

Thanks as always to the local on the ground help, Steve Taylor as non-committee Assistant Treasurer as he handles some of the week-to-week cash and card transactions at rehearsals and pays in cash to the account via the post office.

Independent Examiner

Finally on behalf of myself and the company extend our grateful thanks to Peter Jeffrey for his work as independent examiner. It is with his support that the accounts have been available and confirmed for the AGMs each year. We wish him all the best and there are now several weeks a year that will be far more relaxing for him.

Thank you to Amber Mahoney who with Peter put together the examined accounts this year and subject to everyone’s approval will be doing so ‘solo’ next year and many more to come hopefully!

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Chesham Musical Theatre Company

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the Year ended 30th June 2025, which are set out on the following pages

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirements of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 does not apply.

It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charities Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes an examination of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention:

have not been met; or
