Page **1** of **3** ## 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. Page **2** of **3** ## 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** Page **3** of **3** ## 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! Steve Urry Hon. Treasurer Chesham Musical Theatre Company September 2025 _Contact:_ treasurer@cheshammusicaltheatre.co.uk Northgate House Bratton Fleming Barnstaple Devon EX31 4TG 07432 196109 ## **Chesham Musical Theatre Company** ## **Accounts** **Year ended 30th June 2025** ## **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: - 1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Charities Act 1993; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act, have not been met; or - 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
