## **Trustees' Report**
## _**Organisational structure**_
A chief executive is appointed by the board to manage the day-to-day operations of the charity. The full board meets at least four times per year. Detailed written board reports and an agenda are prepared by the senior managers of the charity and circulated in advance of meetings. Board meetings are attended by the chief executive and (as appropriate) other members of the senior leadership team.
Board decisions are made by simple majority vote.
Outside of these meetings, all trustees are invited to attend informal 'contact group’ meetings with the heads of department on a voluntary basis. These meetings enable managers and trustees to stay in touch and build trustees understanding of the charity by allowing discussion and reflection in depth on particular aspects of the charity’s work.
There is an Audit and risk committee which currently consists of three trustees and meets at least twice a year. Other sub-groups are formed to assist on specific and time-limited projects.
Tyneside Cinema is part of the Newcastle Gateshead Cultural Venues (NGCV) group. NGCV is a voluntary partnership of 10 organisations running 20 venues, archives and heritage sites in Tyne & Wear. There are quarterly meetings of functional areas, all organisations work together to share learning and information in order to maximise sustainability, as well as maximising social, cultural and economic impact.

The building lease and some assets of the trading company are owned by the charity. The company shares the mission of the charity. Its aim is to provide a significant contributed income stream to support the charitable activities.
## **Related parties and other connected charities and organisations**
The charity has a longstanding relationship with its key stakeholder Newcastle City Council. Newcastle City Council regards the cinema as one of the city’s key cultural assets.
The charity owns the entire share capital of the trading subsidiary Tyneside Cinema Trading Co. Ltd. as described previously.

Some of the assets utilised by the trading company are also all owned by the cinema, and a fair charge, based on floor space occupied, made for their use. All surpluses generated by the trading company that are not required for working capital purposes will be gift aided to the Tyneside Cinema in furtherance of its charitable aims.
The charity works in partnership with charities, colleges, schools and other regional organisations to enhance the delivery and reach of its objectives.

## **Tyneside Cinema**
## **Trustees' Report**
## **Objectives and activities**
## _**Objects and aims**_
Tyneside Cinema is a cultural venue and social hub that has a unique heritage, its community value, and its place in UK independent film exhibition history. As the only full-time independent cinema in the north east of England, we play a vital part in the creative economy of Newcastle and the wider region. The group currently employs around 39 FT equivalent people. All profits are reinvested in support of our charitable objectives.
Our vision is to enrich the lives of people in the North East through film. Our mission is for people to be inspired, educated and entertained through the art of film. We value all aspects of film and its potential to connect, celebrate, educate, entertain and to help us make sense of our lives and the experiences of others.
Our heritage is evident in our 1930s Art Deco building, housing the last surviving newsreel theatre still showing films. Our more recent history as a ground-breaking independent cinema started in 1968 when the British Film Institute funded the reopening of the venue as the Tyneside Film Theatre and continued through the 70s, 80s and 90s. Between 2008 and 2015 the scale and profile of the cinema was developed through the addition of new screens and substantial investment in our hospitality venues, creating the opportunity for a more versatile programme and the ability to host a larger number of customers. From early 2020 to the summer of 2021 the cinema was unable to operate due to the pandemic and flood damage. The cinema and our hospitality venues reopened in August 2021 with a new board of trustees and senior management team and since then audience numbers have gradually increased, but are still at a lower level than before the pandemic. We are now focused on building an audience base for the future and the development of a clear organisational personality that leverages our difference as a unique, independent space for film.
## Restructuring
The cinema reopened in August 2021 following a period of rebuilding and renovation as a consequence of the pandemic and serious flood damage sustained earlier in the year. Over the next two and half years, the group’s management team was led by one long term and then a short term interim CEO. The board had intended to appoint a permanent CEO in the first half of 2023. However, the pandemic cast a very long shadow and in common with all cinemas, our audience returned more slowly than anticipated (and at the end of the year to 31 March 2023 had still not reached pre-pandemic levels). As a result of significantly reduced trading income in all operations, it became apparent that the group’s financial position would continue to deteriorate and the board decided to pause the CEO recruitment process until the group’s finances had stabilised.
During the 2023 calendar year steps were taken to restructure the team and implement other cost saving measures. A fundraising appeal was launched as a result of which some £100,000 was raised in donations during the 2023 calendar year (a tremendous demonstration of the important role Tyneside Cinema plays in the region). With the support of its lenders, the group’s long term debt was restructured and terms were agreed with the group’s landlord for the settlement of outstanding rent. As a result of the very significant support shown by our customers, landlord and lenders, the board was then able to negotiate and in June 2024 draw down a new £700,000 loan which has provided working capital and enabled the group to make investments in its operations.

## **Trustees' Report**
## _**Fundraising disclosures**_
All fundraising is carried out with the full oversight of the Trustees. Tyneside Cinema strives to provide an excellent service to all of our supporters and any complaints are dealt with by our service team.
Tyneside Cinema prides itself on a high standard and we continually review how we contact the public to ask for support. This ensures we follow regulations, meet our own high standard, and exceed the public expectation.
We take responsibility towards supporters who may be considered vulnerable very seriously. Our fundraising and customer service teams are trained to respond sensitively and appropriately to any individual they may consider to be vulnerable.
There was no third-party fundraising and no complaints in the year.
## _**Public benefit**_
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

## **Tyneside Cinema**
## **Trustees' Report**
## **Achievements and performance**
In anticipation of the group’s long term finances being secured, the board was in a position to appoint a permanent CEO. In February 2024 Nic Greenan joined Tyneside Cinema as CEO. Nic brings more than two decades of experience in driving major strategic cultural programmes and capital projects in Yorkshire, being named Yorkshire Woman of the Year in 2017. She joined Tyneside Cinema following four successful years as Strategic Lead of City of Culture Policy & Events at Bradford MDC, where she played a pivotal role as part of the leadership team that won the UK City of Culture 2025 bid for Bradford.
She also led on the successful bid to bring Brit School North to Bradford, and was instrumental in the development of The Unit, a new screen talent hub in partnership with Channel 4.
## **Cinema**
Despite the financial and operation challenges that we faced during the year to March 2023, we worked hard to ensure that the Tyneside Cinema continued to be a home for great independent film, with a broad and diverse programme with appeal for a wide variety of audiences. We did this by hosting over 5,900 film screenings of more than 600 different films, representing more than 25 countries, from new releases to bold original programmes focused on a diverse range of themes in addition to our well established and much loved Halloween and Christmas programmes.
The business model for cinemas is very challenging with up to 60% of box office income being payable to film distributors. The pandemic has resulted in a change in customer behaviour. We cannot compete on price with home streaming and we do not believe it is appropriate to try to do so. Our challenge is to continue to show our audiences that the cinema experience is wholly different from watching a film at home. That means reminding returning customers and showing new customers what makes the traditional cinema experience so unique and what it feels like to watch a film in a heritage cinema. At the Tyneside Cinema we provide something that cannot be recreated at home: the excitement of going to see an eagerly anticipated new release film (who can forget the buzz of Barbie and Oppenheimer in 2023?) or a familiar, much loved classic (perhaps on 35mm film), sharing that experience with friends, family and neighbours in a packed cinema auditorium, making new memories, remembering the first film you saw at the cinema.
We remain committed to continuing to provide that special cinema experience as we have done for nearly 90 years. But that does mean that we have to charge a fair price that enables us to operate on a sustainable basis, so that we can continue to show film current and future generations. We continue to offer very significantly discounted prices for customers receiving universal credit, people in full time education, young people aged 16 and under, senior citizens and disabled people. We also provide dementia friendly and parent and child screenings together with targeted concessions for particular sections of our communities.
## **Events**
Our building has a long and deep heritage and is a historically important part of the history of cinema in the region. While our cinemas are primarily used to show films to our audiences, the cinema building is available to hire as a venue for businesses and other organisations, film premieres, private parties and other events. There are opportunities to grow this activity without impinging on our public film programme and we see this as an important part of how Tyneside Cinema will establish a sound financial foundation.

## **Tyneside Cinema**
## **Trustees' Report**
## **Hospitality**
Our hospitality business delivers important elements of our social and community ambitions by offering welcoming spaces in which to eat and drink. We see significant potential to develop and grow the profits generated by our hospitality venues which are an important part of how we finance our charitable activities. We will ensure that we remain commercially focused while continuing to provide a varied range of options for our customers in a safe environment in the city centre
## **Engagement**
In December 2022 Arts Council England announced that we had been unsuccessful in our application for core funding for our engagement programme. Sadly this meant that during 2023 it was necessary to pause our delivery of that programme. We are very proud of the collaborations and participatory projects with individuals, groups and communities that we have delivered. Our engagement activity included artist commissions, participatory projects with children, young people and adults from diverse communities and backgrounds together with events for the public and creative communities of the North East.
As the group’s finances stabilise, we remain very focused on generating surpluses from our business operations to invest in projects that ensure that we reach as many communities as possible in our region. We also intend to work with a broad range of funders, so that we can grow our engagement activities on a sustainable basis with the intention of broadening and deepening this work which is a vital part of our role in our city and our region.
## **Employment**
The Tyneside Cinema group is a Real Living Wage employer. Although this puts some of our operations at a competitive disadvantage when compared with other venues in the city, we believe that it is important that we continue to provide good, flexible employment opportunities on fair terms. We intend to ensure that as our operations grow and develop, we take active steps to make new employment opportunities accessible to all our communities.
## **Financial review**
It continues to be a challenging time for Tyneside Cinema with audience numbers that although they are growing, remain significantly below pre-pandemic levels. We generate the vast majority of our income from our cinema, events and hospitality operations. During the 2022/23 year our income split was 84% earned and 16% grant income. This is a significant improvement from the 37% earned and 63% grant and public subsidy for the year 2021/2022.
The cash balance at the end of the period was £359,444 when the group was under growing financial pressure. The group’s financial position was strengthened by our proactive action to reduce our cost base and implement efficiencies where possible and was further improved in June 2024 by the drawdown of a new £700,000 loan and the restructuring of existing long term loans and short term debts.
At the year end, total funds of the group amount to £1,430,654. However the majority is not freely available because the balance is invested in fixed assets or has a restriction for other purposes. The wholly owned subsidiary Tyneside Cinema Trading Co. Ltd. made a Loss of £59,330 (2021/22Surplus: £59,380).

## **Tyneside Cinema**
## **Trustees' Report**
## _**Policy on reserves**_
The funds of the group as of 31 March 2023 were £1,430,654 of which £1,736,247 were restricted, with a consequent deficit on unrestricted funds of £305,593. Consequently, free unrestricted funds are in deficit by £442,011.
The trustees regularly review the reserve levels to ensure that they are appropriate. This review encompasses the nature of income and expenditure streams, the need to match income with commitments and the nature of reserves.
The trustees have agreed a policy that the charity should aim to hold a level of unrestricted reserves (namely those not held for a specific purpose) of £275,000. The trustees believe that this level of reserves is the minimum necessary to ensure the financial sustainability of the charity, given the uncertainty in both amount and timing of much of our income.
## **Investment policy and powers**
Under the memorandum and articles of association, the charity has the power to invest in any way the trustees wish.
## **Plans for future periods**
The cinema is open again and audiences and guests have returned. Attendances are lower than pre-pandemic figures but in line with other UK cinemas. Our plan for the future is to build our audiences, business skills and our resilience. We have a highly competent management team and a dedicated, confident staff. On this basis we are building our business to ensure we achieve maximum revenue, margins and cultural value for our beneficiaries.
We will continue to develop the role and contribution of our board of trustees, linking them more closely with our senior leadership team to develop strategy and plans. We will continue to embed the recommendations of the independent review into our everyday practice, and we aim to be recognised as an exemplary employer.
Tyneside Cinema is a unique organisation that is vital to the cultural landscape of Newcastle and the North East. Through film, learning and hospitality we will continue to serve our audiences and guests as a world-class independent cinema.
## **Going concern**
The Trustees consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The £700,000 loan received from Northstar Ventures, £233,475 grant awarded by Heritage Lottery Fund, and an extension to capital repayment terms on other long term loans, will provide the funds to support the strategic and operational changes that (along with the continued growth of post pandemic audiences) are intended to see the charity return to generating annual surpluses.
The Trustees and newly appointed CEO continue to investigate opportunities to enhance the long term sustainability of the charity, through improving the financial and operational performance of existing offerings and expanding our audiences. Realignment of staff roles and responsibilities is yielding both cost savings and operational efficiencies, and continuous reviews of contracted services have already delivered recurring annual savings.
As a result of all the above considerations, the Trustees consider the going concern basis to be appropriate.

## **Tyneside Cinema**
## **Trustees' Report**
## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Tyneside Cinema for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the parent charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the parent charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the parent charitable company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the parent charitable company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
## **Disclosure of information to auditor**
Each trustee has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditor is aware of that information. The trustees confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and of which they know the auditor is unaware.
## **Reappointment of auditor**
Azets Audit Services Limited, trading as Azets Audit Services, were appointed auditor to the company following their acquisition of the trade of Tait Walker LLP, trading as MHA Tait Walker, on 1 May 2022.
In accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a decision to appoint auditors will be made at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

## **Tyneside Cinema**
## **Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Tyneside Cinema**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Tyneside Cinema (the 'charitable parent company') and its subsidiary (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2023, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and parent charity's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of the group's incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements were authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

## **Tyneside Cinema**
## **Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Tyneside Cinema**
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the and Trustees' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Trustees' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the and the Trustees' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent charitable company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees' responsibilities (set out on page 9), the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

## **Tyneside Cinema**
## **Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Tyneside Cinema**
## **Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
• Enquiries with management about any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
• Reviewing board minutes;
• Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates;
• Review financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and
• Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness.
Because of the field in which the client operates, we identified the following areas as those most likely to have a material impact on the financial statements; and compliance with the UK Companies Act and Charities Act.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). For instance, the further removed non-compliance is from the event and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the auditor is to become aware of it or to be recognise the non-compliance.
## **Use of our report**

## **Tyneside Cinema**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **1. Going Concern**
The Trustees consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The £700,000 loan received from Northstar Ventures, £233,475 grant awarded by Heritage Lottery Fund, and an extension to capital repayment terms on other long term loans, will provide the funds to support the strategic and operational changes that (along with the continued growth of post pandemic audiences) are intended to see the charity return to generating annual surpluses.
The Trustees and newly appointed CEO continue to investigate opportunities to enhance the long term sustainability of the charity, through improving the financial and operational performance of existing offerings and expanding our audiences. Realignment of staff roles and responsibilities is yielding both cost savings and operational efficiencies, and continuous reviews of contracted services have already delivered recurring annual savings.
As a result of all the above considerations, the Trustees consider the going concern basis to be appropriate.
## **2 Charity status**
The charity is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
The address of its registered office is: Newe House, 10 Pilgrim Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 6QG
## **3 Accounting policies**
## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates**
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
## **Statement of compliance**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis of preparation**
Tyneside Cinema meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
These financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the entity.

## **Tyneside Cinema**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **Basis of consolidation**
The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 March 2023.
No statement of financial activities is presented for the charity as permitted by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006. The charity made a deficit after tax for the financial year of £1,160,113 (2022surplus of £418,460.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is achieved where the charity has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between the charity and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, are eliminated in full.
Intra-group losses are also eliminated but may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the group’s equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling shareholder’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination. Total comprehensive income is attributed to non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
## **Estimation uncertainty and judgements**
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations or future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
There are considered to be no significant judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies which effect the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
## **Income and endowments**
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
## _**Donations and legacies**_
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

## **Tyneside Cinema**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## _**Grants receivable**_
Grants are recognised when the group has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
## _**Deferred income**_
Income received in advance for shows are deferred until the screening or performance actually takes place.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## _**Raising funds**_
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
## _**Charitable activities**_
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## **Support costs**
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
## **Governance costs**
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees' meetings and reimbursed expenses.
## **Government grants**
Government grants are recognised on the performance model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are recognised in income once the performance conditions of entitlement are met.

## **Tyneside Cinema**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Intangible assets - Website**
Intangible assets are stated in the Balance Sheet at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. They are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives.
## **Amortisation**
Amortisation is provided on intangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
**Asset class Amortisation method and rate** Website costs 3 - 5 years straight line
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £100 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
**Asset class Depreciation method and rate** Leasehold land and buildings Over the term of the lease Cinema technical equipment 10 - 33% straight line Fixtures and fittings 20 - 33% straight line
## **Fixed asset investments**
Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal.
Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.
## **Stock**
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO).

## **Tyneside Cinema**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Trade creditors**
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **Borrowings**
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the relevant borrowing. Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the group.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the group.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
## **Defined contribution plan**
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided.

## **Tyneside Cinema**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
The specific purposes for which the funds are to be applied are as follows:
General reserves - the general reserves represent the free funds of the charity which are not designated for any particular purpose.
Restricted funds:
Arts Council - revenue funding to support the digital and creative media arts programme at the Tyneside Cinema.
Capital Development fund - for the refurbishment and modernisation of Tyneside Cinema.
A grant was received from Art Council England's Cultural Recovery Fund during the 2022 year end. A condition of this grant was that part of this fund was to be used to reflate the charity’s reserves and therefore the trustees agreed in 2022 that a designated fund of £913,941 would be created for this purpose, which was fully utilised during 2023.
