(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements and auditors' report of the charitable company for the year ended 30 September 2025.

Structure, governance and management

Nature of governing document

The charity is a company limited by guarantee incorporated on 10 May 1973. It is governed by its memorandum and articles of association, last amended by special resolution on 30 July 2014. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission.

Each trustee is also a member of the charitable company. Each member undertakes to contribute to the assets of the charitable company in the event of it being wound up while they are a member, or within one year after they cease to be a member, such amount as may be required, not exceeding £1, for the debts and liabilities contracted before they ceased to be a member.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

The directors of the company are also trustees of the charity. They are unpaid and give their time freely and generously, bringing to bear significant skills to support the staff. The board meets at least four times per year.

Trustees may serve a maximum of two consecutive terms of three years each. This ensures that the board is refreshed on a regular basis. The board has recently undertaken a trustee recruitment process. Potential applicants were invited to apply by advertisement on the charity’s website and through social media. The recruitment activity took account of advice that was sought on how best to diversify the composition of the board. All applications were reviewed by the board and a number of applicants were shortlisted and interviewed by a number of trustees. Appointments are made by the board.

Induction of trustees

A formal induction programme is provided to new trustees. This includes a tour of our premises, a written induction pack which includes the charity's business plan and governing documents and a copy of the staff handbook which details all of the charity’s operational policies.

Arrangements for setting key management personnel remuneration

All trustees give their time freely. None of the trustees receive remuneration for their work with the charity. Details of any related party transactions are disclosed in the notes to the accounts.

The appointment of senior managers and the setting of their remuneration are matters that are reserved to the board. The remuneration of senior managers is set in the light of each individual’s skills and expertise and current market rates for equivalent roles.

Organisational structure

The chief executive officer (CEO) and other senior managers are appointed by the board to manage the day to day operations of the charity.

The 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 other members of the senior leadership team. Board decisions are made by simple majority vote.

A management committee comprising a number of trustees and the senior leadership team meets on a monthly basis to review current trading activities. Following each meeting, a report is provided to the board to enable all

trustees to be appraised of operational matters.

The audit and risk committee currently consists of three trustees and two independent members, including the chair. It meets at least twice a year and reports to the board after each meeting.

Related parties and other connected charities and organisations

Tyneside Cinema Trading Co. Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary company whose aim is to generate profits from its operations to provide an income stream to support the charity’s charitable activities. All surpluses generated by this company that are not required for working capital purposes are donated by way of Gift Aid to the charity.

The subsidiary operates the Tyneside Bar Café and Vicolo which are situated on the ground floors of the cinema building. This subsidiary also operates an events business. This company has a licence from the charity to operate in the spaces it occupies. Some of the assets used by the subsidiary are also all owned by the charity and a fair charge is made for their use.

Services such as finance, accounting, marketing and administrative support are provided by the charity to the subsidiary. A fair charge is made for such provision.

The charity works in partnership with other charities, colleges, schools and other regional organisations to enhance the delivery and reach of its objectives.

Objective and activities

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 55 people (both full and part time). All surpluses 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.

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. We continually review how we contact the public to ask for support. This ensures we follow regulations and meet our own high standards.

We take our 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 related complaints made in the period.

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.

Achievements and performance

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 that 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. 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 the operations.

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.

As a result of these positive developments, £545,000 of grants from the British Film Institute (BFI) and The National Lottery Heritage Fund were confirmed which have helped to fund a new audience development programme focused on film, music and food and also improve our Grade II-listed venue's carbon footprint.

Cinema

The cinema and our hospitality venues reopened in August 2021 since when 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.

Despite the financial and operation challenges that we continued to face during the year, 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 5,000 film screenings of more than 600 different films, representing more than 40 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.

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.

In January 2026 we announced the launch of the Tyneside Talent Unit, funded by the Sir Graham Wylie Foundation. The Tyneside Talent Unit aims to remove barriers to entry for young people from diverse backgrounds, ensuring talent, not circumstance, determines who has the opportunity to succeed.

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.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

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 year ended 30 September 2025 our income split was 80% earned and 20% grant income.

As referred to above, the group's long term restructuring plan has seen the group invest in its operations and implement operational changes that are intended to ensure that the group becomes a financially secure organisation that consistently generates operating surpluses. In the last 12 months the group has made good progress towards achieving the restructuring plan's financial goals. In the year to the end of 30 September 2025, the group made an operating deficit (not including grant income received in advance or expenditure on capital infrastructure) of £207,549. That compares with deficits of £1,203,518 in the 18 months to 30 September 2024 and £1,219,441 in the year to 31 March 2023. This shows significant progress has been made since the implementation of the restructuring plan and further operational improvements are expected to be delivered in future years.

The cash balance at the end of the period was £299,130. The group’s financial position was strengthened by our proactive action to reduce our cost base and grow income streams across the charity and trading company.

At the period end, the total funds of the group amounted to £228,693. However the majority is not freely available because the balance is invested in fixed assets or has a restriction for other purposes. The charity made a surplus for the year of £1,557 (2024: loss of £1,203,518) of which £186,077 was the recognition of grants in respect of which expenditure remains to be incurred. Without recognition of these, the group deficit would have been £184,520. The recognition of these grants, means the trustees anticipate a deficit in the 2026 year. The wholly owned subsidiary Tyneside Cinema Trading Co. Ltd made a profit of £105,329 (2024: £69,249).

Reserves policy

The funds of the group as at 30 September 2025 were £228,693, of which £1,069,198 were restricted, with a balance of unrestricted funds of £(840,545). Unrestricted funds include designated funds of £nil and fixed assets of £nil. Consequently, free unrestricted funds are in deficit by £840,505.

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.

I nvestment policy and powers

Under its articles of association, the charity has the power to invest in any way the trustees wish.

Plans for future periods

We are mid way through the second year of our transformation plan, and able to draw on the successes we’ve already achieved, including returning the Trading company to profit and increasing box office revenues ahead of pre covid years. 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 charity to ensure we achieve maximum income, margins and cultural value for our beneficiaries and we aim to be recognised as an exemplary employer. 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.

In May 2025 we welcomed a new chair, and five new trustees to the main board, as well as an independent director and observer to the trading company. All of whom bring a breadth of cross sector knowledge and

experience to the Tyneside, that will see us go from strength to strength over the coming years and beyond.

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 cinema and cultural venue.

Going concern

The charity’s detailed medium term forecasts indicate that the charity is able to continue as a going concern. These forecasts include assumptions regarding continuing increases in admissions (lower than current UK Box Office growth forecasts) and other hospitality income. With a stronger and evenly spread film release schedule, the continued recovery of post pandemic audiences, and sustained demand for city centre hospitality and event spaces, the sensitised growth modelled is considered to be achievable.

The £700,000 loan received from Northstar Ventures in June 2024, ongoing grants awarded from British Film Institute and Heritage Lottery Fund, as well as the negotiated capital repayment terms on long term loans, have provided the funds to support the strategic growth of the cinema and hospitality offering. This is being met with the continued growth of post pandemic cinema audiences, and a highly anticipated slate of film releases throughout the year, following industry strikes in previous years.

The trustees and the senior leadership team continue to investigate opportunities to enhance the long term sustainability of the charity, through improving the financial and trading performance of existing operations and expanding our audiences. The 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, with more to achieved.

As a result of all the above considerations, the trustees consider the going concern basis to be appropriate.

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

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 period. 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:

• 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

Kinnair Associates Limited were re-appointed auditor to the company on 8 January 2026 in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, at the annual general meeting.

Approved by order of the members of the board of Trustees on 3 March 2026 and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TYNESIDE CINEMA

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Tyneside Cinema (the 'parent charitable company') and its subsidiary (the 'Group') for the year ended 30 September 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 Auditors' 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 or the parent charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TYNESIDE CINEMA (CONTINUED)

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 Group's and the parent charitable company'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 Group or the parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TYNESIDE CINEMA (CONTINUED)

Auditors' 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 Auditors' 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.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We assessed the susceptibility of the Group’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: -

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: -

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: -

There are inherent limitations in our anticipated audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of noncompliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, and to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

TYNESIDE CINEMA (A Company Limited by Guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

1. General information

The charity is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales (company number 1113101) and consequently does not have share capital (referred to in these financial statements and reports as the "charity" and the "Company"). 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 entity is also registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales (charity number 502592).

The registered office is Newe House, 10 Pilgrim Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 6QG.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

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.

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and Consolidated Balance Sheet consolidate the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary undertaking. The results of the subsidiary are consolidated on a line by line basis.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the entity and rounded to the nearest pound.

2.2 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 30 September 2025.

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 for the financial period of £103,775 (2024: deficit of £1,272,767).

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 and balances are eliminated in full.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.3 Going concern

The charity’s detailed medium term forecasts indicate that the charity is able to continue as a going concern. These forecasts include assumptions regarding continuing increases in admissions (lower than current UK Box Office growth forecasts) and other hospitality income. With a stronger and evenly spread film release schedule, the continued recovery of post pandemic audiences, and sustained demand for city centre hospitality and event spaces, the sensitised growth modelled is considered to be achievable.

The £700,000 loan received from Northstar Ventures in June 2024, ongoing grants awarded from British Film Institute and Heritage Lottery Fund, as well as the negotiated capital repayment terms on long term loans, have provided the funds to support the strategic growth of the cinema and hospitality offering. This is being met with the continued growth of post pandemic cinema audiences, and a highly anticipated slate of film releases throughout the year, following industry strikes in previous years.

The trustees and the senior leadership team continue to investigate opportunities to enhance the long term sustainability of the charity, through improving the financial and trading performance of existing operations and expanding our audiences. The 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, with more to achieved.

As a result of all the above considerations, the trustees consider the going concern basis to be appropriate.

2.4 Income

All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

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 control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

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.

Income received in advance for shows are deferred until the screening or performance actually takes place.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

2.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.5 Expenditure (continued)

the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Group to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities 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 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 include the costs attributable to the charity's compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees' meetings and reimbursed expenses.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.6 Government grants

Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities upon the completion of the relevant performancerelated conditions. Other grants that are not subject to performance-related conditions are credited to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities as the grant proceeds are received. Grants received prior to the revenue recognition criteria being satisfied are recognised as a liability.

2.7 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Group; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.8 Taxation

The Company 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 Company 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.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.9 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 is provided on intangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life.

The estimated useful lives are as follows:

Website Costs - 3-5 years

2.10 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £100 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Long-term leasehold property - Over the term of the lease - Fixtures and fittings 10-33% straight line - Office equipment 20% straight line - Computer equipment 20-33% straight line

2.11 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities.

Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost less provision for impairment.

Investments held as fixed assets are shown at cost less provision for impairment.

2.12 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.13 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.14 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.15 Liabilities

Liabilities and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

2.16 Deferred taxation

Full provision is made for deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from all timing differences between the recognition of gains and losses in the financial statements and recognition in the tax computation.

A net deferred tax asset is recognised only if it can be regarded as more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable surpluses from which the future reversal of the underlying timing differences can be deducted.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates expected to be effective at the time the timing differences are expected to reverse.

2.17 Financial instruments

The Group only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.18 Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.19 Pensions

The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Group to the fund in respect of the year.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.20 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Group and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Group for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

3. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgment

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgments are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

There are considered to be no significant judgments (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.

Grants previously made by the European Regional Development Fund, BFI and Heritage Lottery Fund are repayable if the charity breaches the terms of the agreement with the grant funders, undergoes a significant change in status, ceases to operate or is declared insolvent within the period to 2028 for the European Regional Development Fund and 2031 for the Heritage Lottery Fund. Annual depreciation regarding the property is being charged annually against the restricted funds.
