Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 2024

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation

    These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A (Small Entities) of Financial Reporting Standard 102

    Turnover policy

    Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business. Sale of goods is recognised when the company has delivered products to the customer, the customer has accepted the products and collectability of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue from services is recognised when the services have been provided and the right to consideration has been earned.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: Fixtures and fittings 25% Computers 25% The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

    Other accounting policies

    Impairment of fixed assets At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company. The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date. Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed. In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the director is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Year Ending: 31 December 2024

Company activities and impact

This year has been another exciting chapter for Rubber Chicken Theatre CIC, as we continue to share the performing arts with our community and create opportunities for people of all ages to take part, grow in confidence, and shine on stage. At the very heart of what we do are our productions. These shows bring our community together in an ex-citing and positive way, giving young people the chance to perform in both professional theatres and our own community venue. In 2024, our October holiday production of Six Teen Edition achieved record levels of teenage engagement, and in May, we were overjoyed to bring home the Outstanding Production Award from the Junior Theatre Festival Europe. These moments remind us why the stage is such a powerful place for young people to belong. Alongside productions, our weekly programme of classes has grown to over 200 children and young people each week, from pre-school through to S6. Our community choir also continued to thrive, with singers aged 16 to 80+ meeting each week to share music, laughter, and friendship. We also ran a strong programme of holiday activities and workshops, offered creative opportunities for pre-school children to play, explore, and perform, and provided one to one support and audition preparation for teenagers preparing for further study in the arts. Education remained an important strand of our work, and we were thrilled to see a 100% pass rate across all three of our National Progression Award courses in Musical Theatre, Technical Theatre, and Professional Theatre Preparation. To meet growing demand, we also launched an additional lower-primary musical theatre class and introduced an advanced performers class for older high school students, giving them space to develop skills in smaller, more focused groups. Our community focus reaches far beyond our own rehearsals and shows. We continue to support local schools with directing, choreography, and technical input, while our free-to-hire costume library makes costumes, props, and equipment accessible to schools and community groups. A highlight of the year was sponsoring and performing at Stirling’s first-ever Pride event a joyful celebration of inclusivity that we were proud to be part of. And following the success of our inclusive production in 2023, we continue to make sure children with additional support needs have the chance to experience the stage in a fully sup-ported way. We also remained closely connected to our town, supporting local events such as High Street open evenings and Christmas concerts, giving our young people further chances to perform and be part of com-munity celebrations. Through all of this, our mission has remained the same: to put community at the heart of everything we do, and to use the performing arts as a way to bring people together, celebrate individuality, and create spaces where confidence and creativity can flourish.

Consultation with stakeholders

The company’s stakeholders are the children, young people, and wider community in and around Dunblane and Stirling. We make it a priority to listen to our community, whether that’s through feedback on social media, open conversations with current members, or the informal chats that happen at our events. This ongoing dialogue helps us keep our work relevant, inclusive, and responsive to what people really want and need. In 2024 we continued to shape our programme around the interests of our young people. This saw an in-crease in both family-friendly Disney productions and the teen edition of the hugely popular concert musical Six. Not only did this reflect what our performers were most excited about, it also fuelled our growth with waiting lists now a regular feature for both our productions and our weekly classes. Our commitment remains to put the voices of our community at the centre of everything we do, making sure Rubber Chicken Theatre CIC continues to grow in ways that reflect the needs and aspirations of those we serve.
