Structure, governance and management (continued)
Appointment of trustees
The Chairperson and the Trustees recruit and select new Trustees as needed. New Trustees are recruited on the relevance of their professional skills, and their potential to be able to make a helpful contribution to the governance of the charity. As part of the recruitment process, they are made aware of a Trustees' legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committee and decision-making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity.
Once the potential new Trustee has agreed to be considered for appointment to the role, the Trustees meet to review and to vote on the candidates’ suitability for appointment. If there is unanimous agreement, their names are then proposed for appointment, to the voting Members of the Company at the next Annual General Meeting. Should there be a gap in skills a new member may be co-opted by current Trustees should an AGM be some time away.
Objectives and activities
Replay Theatre Company, as the company is more commonly known, has been making theatre adventures for younger audiences since 1988. We develop and tailor our work to engage and inspire four key audiences under the age of 19: from tiny babies in our early years programme, to primary school age children of all abilities and backgrounds, to teenagers journeying into adulthood, and children and young people with diverse, complex, and often multiple disabilities.
In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. In 2024 the trustees took some time to consider the strategic priorities for the next 5 years and published the company's 2025-2030 Strategic Plan.
The Strategic Plan can be accessed here: https:/Awww.replaytheatre.co.uk/2025-2030-strategic-plan/
Our Vision
Enriching the lives of young audiences in Northern Ireland and beyond through valued, world class theatre.
Our Purpose
Replay's purpose is to create world class theatre especially for young audiences, because it is every child's human right to have their lives enriched through the arts.

If someone walked into the room you are in right now and told you something, something big, would you believe them?
This show with its single performer travelled to post-primary schools across Northern Ireland. Young people's perception of what is news and who we can trust was challenged. Teacher feedback included:
"The show opened up lots of discussion re social media etc as well as helping pupils become aware of Dramatic techniques/staging.”
"| thought it was very relevant to our students and thought provoking. It was great that the theatre came to the school and was set up very quickly. The play was well written, and the performance engaged the students and they were very interested in the themes."
"It tackled the critical issue of fake news online, delivering a powerful moral for my teenage audiences. The storyline was engaging and very thought-provoking, highlighting the importance of verifying information before believing or sharing it.”

Partnership Working
Belfast Children's Festival & TYANI
In 2024-25 the company continued in its commitment to building the infrastructure and raising the profile of theatre for young audiences and the arts sector in general. Throughout the year Replay was represented on multiple national and international festivals ensuring that there was representation of the company and the TYANI sector.
Replay premiered THE VELVETEEN RABBIT show at the Belfast Children's Festival in 2025, however there will be a planned break from presenting new work at the festival in 2026 as the company will be presenting a brand new show in Sweden, with a view to bringing it to the festival in 2027.
This work is the result of a partnership with Estrad Norr and Folkteatern Gavleborg in Sweden. The company's Director of Inclusive Theatre will travel to direct the new piece of theatre ROTVISKA, a show aimed at young audiences with complex needs. The culmination of 2 years of development with these Swedish partners the show will be performed across Sweden in 2026 before coming to Northern Ireland in 2027.
The introduction of the Replay Artist Development Fellowship in 2023 has seen Shannen McNeice's production BETWEEN GALAXIES tour once already with another tour planned for summer 2025. In 2024 Shannen was awarded the Art's Council's SIAP award. Replay also continues to mentor a number of individual artists on an ongoing basis, several of whom have since (with Replay's support) successfully applied for ACNI Support for the Individual Artist Programme Artist Career Enhancement Scheme Awards.
The company has continued to deepen its working partnerships with a number of venues both in Belfast and regionally with the key aim of bringing theatre for young audiences to as many young people across Northern Ireland as possible.

New Work Development
Replay will continue the development of new works in 25/26
The Elf Inspectors
The Elf Inspectors was conceived after a long period of research and development, and as a result of our observations at East Belfast Sure Start and Shankill SureStart, when we could see that children between ages 2 and 5 are at a crucial developmental stage learning about themselves in relation to other people.
We recognised need for a Christmas show which is accessible for an early years audience, and decided to create an engaging, bespoke show that met the children exactly where they are - tapping into a mixture of sound logic and magical thinking, insight and ignorance, the reasoned and the unreasonable.
This show will be staged at The MAC in Belfast, winter 2025.
New Post Primary Production
The company will continue to develop a new show exploring issues around sexual violence against young women over the next year with a view to producing in the autumn of 2026. The problem of violence (and specifically sexual violence) against girls and women in Northern Ireland is not going away, and terrifyingly, according to the "It's Just What Happens" report from QUB is often seen as a normal part of growing up. Replay believes that this play is an excellent opportunity to address some of the related issues in front of the very people who could be experiencing it.
A special word of thanks
Replay Theatre Company is always grateful for the financial support it receives from its funders. This has been another very challenging year, and the Board would like to take this opportunity to specifically thank its funders for the great understanding and flexibility they have shown, and additional support provided by some. With changes made to the criteria of some funding schemes that Replay has received support from in the past the year ahead may be the company's most challenging for some time, with decisions on future programming potentially having to be taken late.
Financial review
Replay's income for the period amounted to £356,101 (2024: £412,819) with expenditure of £406,235 (2024: £410,890) leaving a deficit of £50,134. This deducted from reserves brought forward leaves an unrestricted fund balance of £62,766 and a restricted fund balance of £28,078 at 31st March 2025.

Financial review (continued)
Reserves policy and going concern
Reserves are needed to bridge the timing gap between spending and receiving of income and to cover unplanned temporary shortfalls in income should they arise. Holding adequate reserves safeguards the provision of our services in the event of unexpected significant financial pressures. The trustees consider that the ideal level of reserves would be between three to six months expenditure which for the year ended 31 March 2025 would be between £101,559 and £203,118.
Unrestricted reserves freely available to spend, therefore excluding fixed assets, restricted reserves and designated reserves amounted to £42,270 which is below target level, however the trustees believe this represents a sufficient level of reserve to ensure that the going concern assumption is appropriate.
Risk management
The Replay Board meets on a quarterly basis where they examine the current strategic risks faced by the company. Risks are given a red-amber-green status depending upon both the likelihood of the risk materialising and the severity of the outcome of such an instance. Actions are agreed at these meetings to mitigate against these risks.
Plans for future periods
Governance & Management
Replay recognises the importance of good governance and management in achieving artistic aims and ensuring the impact of the company's work for beneficiaries.
Replay has developed a 5-year strategic plan running from 2025-2030 in which targets for each year are operationalised through an annual outcome delivery planned which is monitored on an ongoing basis by senior management and the Board.

Plans for future periods (continued)
In 2024-2025 the company continued to strive to reach the highest levels of best practice.
Replay has a number of sub-committees to aid in the furtherance of its objectives and provide good governance:
-
Audit and Finance Subcommittee
-
Artistic Programming and Strategy Subcommittee
These subcommittees typically meet separately to the main Board meetings and report back to the main board meetings any concerns or achievements.
Creative Programme 2025-26
The 2025-2026 programme will continue to engage children and young people from ages 0-19 years through a diverse and exciting range of productions, workshops and initiatives.
The programme has been drawn up in collaboration between board and staff and takes into consideration the needs of each of Replay's young audiences alongside wider sector trends and local priorities. Replay's ongoing consultation with audiences continues to inform planning and delivery of our programme. In 2025-2026 Replay will work in partnership with new and existing community and statutory organisations and will deliver of a number of major-projects to engage children from the most disadvantaged communities across Belfast.
Public Benefit
Replay's purpose is to provide accessible professional theatre and arts experiences for children and young people up to the age of 19, primarily in Northern Ireland and to promote creativity in the lives of children and young people.
The benefit of our work is to provide accessible professional theatre and arts experiences for children and young people ensuring positive impacts on confidence, self-esteem, personal development (including understanding themselves and others better), social development (including potential to challenge cultural prejudices and societal differences), and emotional development (including the development of empathy and emotional !Q).
In addition the benefits of promoting creativity in the lives of children and young people means that engaging in creative activities can help develop intrinsic human qualities, such as communication, expression, identity, culture and imagination, helping children and young people to shape their individual, community and global identity.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Replay Productions Limited
Year ended 31 March 2025
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Replay Productions Limited (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position 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 FRS 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:
-
= e give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its 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;
-
e 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's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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 the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out below, 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.
In common with many other businesses of our size and nature we use our auditors to assist with the preparation of the financial statements.
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 charity'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.

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.
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.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

-
e __ the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

e —_ certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Replay Productions Limited (continued)

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors 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.
Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK). Those standards require us to comply with the Financial Reporting Council's (FRC's) Ethical Standard for Auditors’, in the circumstances set out in note X to the financial statements.
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.
13
Replay Productions Limited Company Limited by Guarantee Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Replay Productions Limited (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2025
Auditor's 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.
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:
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we considered the following:
-
the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the design of the remuneration policies, key drivers for directors' remuneration, bonus levels and performance targets;
-
- results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;
-
any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed documentation of their policies and procedures relating to: ¢ identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether management were aware of any instances of non-compliance;
-
- detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether management have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
-
¢ the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
the matters discussed among the audit engagement team including significant component audit teams and relevant internal specialists, including tax and valuations specialists regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.
As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override.
We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks in operation, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included ongoing compliance with the UK Companies Act and tax legislation.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental for their ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty.
14
Replay Productions Limited
Company Limited by Guarantee
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Replay Productions Limited (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2025
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
e Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
e Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
-
° Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
e Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
e Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

- Accounting policies (continued)
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
e income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
° legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. e¢ income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
° income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis asa liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
° expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
° expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
° other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Equipment
- 20% straight line
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Year ended 31 March 2025
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Impairment of fixed assets (continued)
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
Replay Theatre Company is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated. Replay Theatre Company is a registered charity with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland. Replay Theatre Company is a membership organisation with currently 20 members, each of whom agrees to contribute £5 in the event of the charity winding up.
