LAMDA Llmltgd Oimited by guar¥rteel and sUbdiary comp8ny Dlrectofs rèport For year endlng 31 2021 Director's Report In his Foreword. the Chair has raptured the scale and Significan of the work we have engaged in durin9 academic and financial year 2020-21. The following is a record of the activity undertaken during each quarter.. August-O¢tobor. LAMDA was one of the first institutions to relum to 'live' training after the March 2020 lockdown, returning lo fa-t(pface teaching from 291h June 2020. There was a huge amount of work to catch up on, after a Herculean effort al the end of the 2019-2D acadamic year to ensure that strmlents caught up on any missed work and graduated. Ex8m$ staff conb'nued throughout to plan to introduce Remoie Online Assessments IROAI as a response to the closure of face-tfrface examinations. 2019-20 had seen a c£4.2m r&u¢tion in proiecled income due to COVID. However, after cost dUCtIOnS and conlro5s, and growng income vtherever we coukl. we ended with a net deficit of £1.7m. We therefcire started the current year wlh great financial uncertainty and reliance on a £1.Sm overdraft facility. We hoped for a Bank or C-BIL loan lo give greater financial certainty for the year, but lasl summer this wa5 very far from certain. The final approval of DAPS wa5 also not in ght, a detemiinatton having been delayed by the Ofs trcause of LAMDA'S financial UnrtaInty. Againsl Ihis unrtain and precarious financial backdrop, we continued the consultation on how L4MDA should restructure. The discussion vrith slaff reptesent8tNes lasted into September at which point the Board of TnJstee5 approved the restructure prorx)sals. Meanwhile further difficult conversations were taking place about Racism which led lo Global Majority students and alumni, dernonslraling extraordinary courage in describing thr experien¢&s and thereby laying the ground for extensivg WDrk on developing a new approach to Anti-Racism at LAMD Following a gradual retum to School from the end of June, and measure8 Put in place to institute a 'COVIt SecLJre' environment, we had the first case of COVID on 3rd SeptemlH. followed by 4 more in October. We dealt wlh each of these effectively. working closely wth Hammersmith and Fulham Public Health to develop and implement our contingency F4ans. November- January.. Followng the October Cases at LAMDA we implemented a'circuit breav, in consultation with Hammersmith and Fulham Publ Health, with a greater reliance on online learning. As a result of this, the London Public Exams had to be Gancelled. We reiurned to the building on 9th November, wth a mixture of online and in-person teaching, and final year students conb'nuing their preparations for the December programrne of live performances. A second national lockdown was annou[ed by the Prime Minister from 5th Novem unts'l 2nd December. Higher Education was expected to continue operating but we were a5kwJ to make our own 'infoffned decisions,. The universities minister publicly encouraged the sector not to relum to online leaming. We continued,. doing our best to manage a confusing policy silualion.. keeping Talgarth Road COVID safe and doing our best lo make online learning the best experience for students that rt ¢ould be. LAMDA student5 were sent home eadier than planned as part of the Governmenvs scheme to gel all students home for Christmas. Once more, there was a huge effort made by staff and their tremendous Ilexibility allowed productlDns fo be staged on time. It is of credit to the Drama School, that we were able to compensate for the lack of live audiences wth the adoption of INe streaming.. which in a short space of time has become an established practice at LAMDA, providing studerrts with excellenl industy exFerience of Itve-streamed theatre. Discu8sion8 with the Ofs about finanaal viability and stsbility gNerb the major reduction in Exams income ¢onb'nued over this period. Meanwhile in December, UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) conducted a snap audit of our visa application and tnonitoring procedures and records. The restructu continued, with PTASS moved into the Drama Sthool and appointments were made to the new structure during the Autumn Temi. Other key devek>pments included the establishment of a Curriculum Revlew frdmework and appointment of a Student Wellbeing Officer. Pago 7 of 52

Many also struggled financially due to prolonged unavaiLabilily of work to finance their study and living costs. We set up the Student Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund, and thanks to the incredible generosty of our supporters we were able io hugely increase the specialised wellbeing and financial supp)rt for our siudents. The prolongation of COVID led us lo postpone revalidation of the MFA and review of Foundation Year (now complete} to the coming year. and work started to review the ffinanaal pcts5tson and consider al LAMDA'S longer temi strategy might look like. February - Aprll" Students returned to live training on 8th March after the newyear loKkdown. with LAMDA making its voice heard wlth letters lo Ministers and by collectively lobbying, particularfy through GuildHE. To help build the case for risk- managed trNIng, LAMDA was one of the first institutions to instigate asyrnptomatic testing using Lateral Flow Tests ILFTs} thanks lo sterling work undertaken by Ihe Estates Team.

Signs of recovery continued th a substsnlial improvernent in LAMDA Examinations bookings to a posltion ahead of February's income re-forecast Therewas also a fijrther pick up in PTASS applications and shortcourse tx)okings.

The Board of Trustees signed off an Annual Operation Plan and budget in JLJne. There are still significant uncertainties around income {Exams ongolng recovery, HEIF and institutional fur]ng for World Class provision}, but we have a plan that reflects LAMDA'S refreshed stralegy. Rules on COVID were relaxed for theatres from 17th May. meaning we were able to welcome back a live audience, albeit socially distsnced, for the first time in over a year to our graduakn'ng students, productions. Despite the remaining government restrictions being lifted in July. LAMDA decided lo maintain COVID secu practice, with some specified relaxations - to protect our summer short course provision as the Delta variant continued to spread, especially In Hammersmith and Fulham.

ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS Despite the continuing context of the pandemic. our siudents and staff continued to surprise and amaze us th their resilience and creativity. There is no doubt that the hardest period for students was caused by the enforced IkdOWn in the eady months of the Spring Terrn 2020, and the timing of this was a contributing factor to our drop in student sats'sfaction as measured by Ihe National Student SuNey which was relea8ed at the same lime. All learning outcomes were met," perfornances and film shc(Jts, wtth some agile rescheduling, went ahead,. and some adaptations that were made for pandemwelated reasons led to some wonderful innovation. particularfy in some of the students self-crealed, work whid) saw creative collaborntions take place between students in different time zones and continents. Audience ¢apacities were limited k*c8use of social distancing, but LAMDA moved nimbly to live-streaming, to ex¢ellent industy response, and we wll continue to make use of thi8 technology in the fLrture. In April 2021 we were infom)ed by the Office for Students that LAMDA had met its criteria lo granted Full Degree Awarding Powers. In recent years, our degrees have been awarded by the University of Kent. LAMDA'S degree awarding powers started from 1 st August 2021. This authorisation, which includes the supplementary power to aulhorise other institutions to grant awards on our tehalf, recognises the quality of LAMDA'S training and will build on our history and repLatIcl. Below is a summary of results.. Degree results remained very strong in 2020-21.

In order to assess as many leamers as possible. retain revenue aThJ meet customer demand, we increased the volume of Remote Online Assessments (ROAS) and provKled addrtional cJJstomer guidance and support for this transition. However, we found that many customers either F(SStponed LAMDA leaching or decided to wail until in-per5on assessments were available again to examine their leamers. This meant that we had a large backlog of learners who wanted to be assessed when restrictions were lifted from March and into Summer 2021. The transition of leamers between assessment meths, the stpOneMent of examination events and customer demand in¢reased the volume of refunds and transfer C[lit vouchers we needed lo process. Many of the transactions were exiremety complex as we split cohorts across different sessions. removed the minimum fee requirement and worked hard to assess as many leaTners as FK)ssible. Additionally, due to ongoir)g Sla1 distancing fftquirements, we intrThJuced an extra S minut&8 bètween each in- person assessment to reduce the volume of customers at exarnination events. This was in line with the additional 5 minutes conb'llgency time between exams that we applied to ROA sessions, used to resolve technical issues and enab5e Examiners to ensure remote venLJes were suitable. The extra time betrfftn exams reduced the number of leamerg and income per session by an average of 280h. The impact of COVID in 2020-21 therefore reduced the number of leamers we Could assess, when they were assessed, how they were assessed and presented complex customer refund issues.

The main reductions being for the spring semester and summer schools, where there was a recjuced appetite from international students lo travel to London to study.

This was the result of ongoing cost reductions from the pausing of examinations and commercial operations, and ongoing cost control. Staff costs deEaSed to £5,079k (2020: £5.825kl. The reasons for this include a reduction in teaching staff costs to £1,578k12020= £1,786kl follo¥Mng the restructure in 2020. which is in line wth a reduction in teaching staff numbers trom 52.2 FTE to 46.2 FfE.

Additionally, the cost of *aff on furfough was nil in 2021 12020.. £423k - this was largely offset by grant income from HMR&C, which is induded as income in these accounts).

BalanGe Sheet The key changes on the balan sheet reflect the loss of profitability trom examinations and commercial a¢tiwlies as a result of Covid, and the impact on cash and resetves to finance the resulting in-year deficit. During ltte year a £1.5m C-BIL loan was secura with Barclays, and drawn down in March 2020, and is reflected in the year end cash balance. It was dsfficult lo accurately forecast the exam income during the summer period. The concentration of the examination Iransacts'ons in the last three months of the financial year. In addition, there were a large volume of deferrals of individual exams. This led lo a reduction of exam in¢x)me Nthich was only fvlly known after the year end. As a result, one of the bank covenants was breached: and accordingly the long-tem loans have for 2020- 21 been shown as $hort-term liabilities. Prior the signature of these accounts Barclays has approved a covenant waiver. At the date of approval of the financial statements, the loan covenants are no longer being breached and it is the trustees, extstion that there will be no breaches at the 2022 yearond date. a) LAMDA'S consolidated working capita position (current assets less current liabilities} at 31 July 2021 was negative £6,437k12020. negatNe £1,260kl, due to the restatement ofthe long-term108ns.
