**Progressive Players Gateshead Limited (The) Notes to the Accounts** 

## **for the year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## _**Basis of preparation**_ 

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)  - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Under section 138(2) of the Charities Act 2011 the charity has taken exemption from preparing consolidated accounts which would have included the results of its subsidiary company. 

The directors have considered the impact of Covid-19 and believe that the company is in a position to minimise any impact on the business as they consider the company to be well positioned to trade profitably following the lifting of lockdown. 

## _**Income and recognition policies**_ 

Income derives from the staging of plays including ticket and season ticket receipts, wardrobe hire and other associated activities. 

- Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met: - The charity has entitlement to the funds. 

- Any performance conditions attached to the items of income have been met are fully within the control of the charity. 

- There is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable. 

- The amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Restricted funds are funds which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

## **Tangible assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: 

Fixtures and fittings 2.5% reducing balance basis Stage properties 25% reducing balance basis Computer equipment 25% straight line basis 

## **Investments** 

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



**Progressive Players Gateshead Limited (The) Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with immediate access. 

## **Debtors** 

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. 

## **Creditors** 

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. 

Season ticket box office income and members income paid in advance at the balance sheet date have been included with deferred income and will be released to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which the income relates.

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011("The 2011 Act"). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the 2006 Act; 

- the accounts do not accord with those records: 

-  the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination or; 

-  the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**Progressive Players Gateshead Limited (The) Notes to the Accounts** 

## **for the year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## _**Basis of preparation**_ 

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)  - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Under section 138(2) of the Charities Act 2011 the charity has taken exemption from preparing consolidated accounts which would have included the results of its subsidiary company. 

The directors have considered the impact of Covid-19 and believe that the company is in a position to minimise any impact on the business as they consider the company to be well positioned to trade profitably following the lifting of lockdown. 

## _**Income and recognition policies**_ 

Income derives from the staging of plays including ticket and season ticket receipts, wardrobe hire and other associated activities. 

- Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met: - The charity has entitlement to the funds. 

- Any performance conditions attached to the items of income have been met are fully within the control of the charity. 

- There is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable. 

- The amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Restricted funds are funds which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

## **Tangible assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: 

Fixtures and fittings 2.5% reducing balance basis Stage properties 25% reducing balance basis Computer equipment 25% straight line basis 

## **Investments** 

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



**Progressive Players Gateshead Limited (The) Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with immediate access. 

## **Debtors** 

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. 

## **Creditors** 

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. 

Season ticket box office income and members income paid in advance at the balance sheet date have been included with deferred income and will be released to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which the income relates.
