Section E Financial review

Further financial review details (Optional information)

MADS financial position can be summarised as follows[1] :-

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant about:

1. Profit and Loss – a Return to Operating Profit

Following an Operating Loss of over £10K in 2021/2022, MADS has returned a profit of £8879 over the 2022/2023 Season. The following have made significant contributions:

a) Audiences have returned to pre-pandemic levels, with ticket sales up by 39% over the previous Season. Other play-related income increased similarly. b) Bar profit rose by 54%, although the margin (profit as a percentage of Sales) remained at just over 49%.

The bank balance at the Year End was £37,694. Although major expenditure (£11.8K) on the Stage flooring is scheduled for the summer, the predicted Cash Flow indicates a continuing balance of around £20K and MADS should remain solvent for the coming Season.

It is notable, if not surprising, that on-line and card payments are now much larger than cash payments for everything except teas, coffees, and programs.

2. Balance Sheet

There were no capitalisations during 2022/2023, so the Tangible Asset costs remained at £242,652 while depreciation (£15,014) reduced their net Book value from £177,945 to £162,931 with the net book value of Equipment depreciating to zero, as predicted in last year’s report.

Debtors stood at £7725, although about half of this (the cost of two Lets paid in July 23) has already been recovered. Much of the remainder is Prepayments for Rights and Scripts for next Season. Our Gift Aid claim is still outstanding – this is due to confusion at HMRC regarding the claimant identity – this has been corrected and progress is expected albeit at the usual leaden pace. Creditors, at £1,436, consisted mainly of Accruals of items owed in June 23 but paid in July 23.

The bottom line was that, as required by double entry accounting, the two values for MADS Net Worth (Assets minus Liabilities and Accumulated Profits/Losses) were identical at £204,109.

3. Other Accounts

Productions made an overall profit of £10,376. All plays were profitable although “Shakespeare in Love” (SiL) made a loss after deduction of overheads. Although expensive to produce, SiL was nevertheless financially successful, being the highest grossing play of the season. Club Nights remain an excellent source of bar income, with overall bar profits up from last year to £16,736. Other Social and Catering Events made a small

profit with the exception of the MADS 75th Anniversary Party, which made a loss of £776 (a modest cost for such an auspicious event). Lettings continued to make a major contribution to MADS income (£19,025) and demand seems to be increasing, which augurs well for the future.
