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 measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life at 25% reducing balance basis.

    Other accounting policies

    The Directors have considered the outlook for the company. The company had to move out of its creative space due to the site ownership change in 2024 which prompted a refocusing of the company's activities on a research arts laboratory where inter-disciplinary lines can overlap to create projects that explore processes and techniques, address social, political, cultural and critical issues, teaming up with other organisations and using various locations throughout UK. The company has also received a Crowdfunding donation this year which helped with the move and storage. During the year the company was supported through a combination of public funding, trusts and foundations, international cultural institutions, earned income, and community fundraising. Support continued from organisations including Arts Council England, British Council, House of Europe, AHRC, and European cultural partners. These partnerships are being cultivated to last beyond the year end. The directors are of the view that the company has sufficient cash reserves to continue as a Going Concern. Donations. Donations are brought into income when the Company has entitlement to the funds or assets, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably. Donations related to income are presented as part of profit or loss, under a general heading of other operating income. Grants. Grants are not recognised until there is a reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attached to them and the grants will be received. The company choses to recognise grants based on the accrual model. Grants related to income are presented as part of profit or loss, under a general heading of other operating income. Stocks. Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is determined using the first in first out method. The carrying amount of stock sold is recognised as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognised. 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. Short term creditors are measured at transaction price, which is usually the invoice price. Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. Taxation. A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Provisions. Provisions, i.e. liabilities of uncertain timing or amount, are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Foreign currency translation. Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss. Leased assets. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Company activities and impact

IKLECTIK is a laboratory for experimental sound, art, and technology, supporting emerging and established artists to push the boundaries of creative practice. In 2024, IKLECTIK entered a period of profound transition while continuing to deliver ambitious, inclusive, and high-quality artistic programmes across London, the UK, and internationally. Since its inception, IKLECTIK has hosted over 1,800 events, including 1,700+ live performances, 38 workshops, 27 talks, and 23 screenings, engaging more than 60,000 attendees. In 2024, following the closure of our permanent space in Waterloo, IKLECTIK evolved into a nomadic model, sustaining its artistic and community mission through partnerships, touring programmes, and site-responsive events across multiple venues. Artistic Programme and Reach Throughout 2024, IKLECTIK continued to curate and produce a diverse programme of concerts, performances, workshops, talks, and residencies, with a strong focus on experimental sound, spatial audio, and interdisciplinary practices. Our activities spanned both internal productions and external collaborations, allowing us to remain visible and impactful despite the loss of a fixed venue. We strengthened our relationships with London-based organisations and presented events at partner venues including Corsica Studios, Ormside Projects, and other independent cultural spaces, fostering new collaborations and cross-pollination between artistic communities. Our live streaming and digital outputs remained a key component of our programme in 2024, extending international access to our work and supporting artists to reach global audiences. This continued to benefit disabled audiences, international listeners, and those unable to attend events in person. National and International Collaboration In 2024, IKLECTIK expanded its national and international partnerships, curating and co-producing projects with organisations and artists from Spain (Barcelona), France, Italy, Ukraine, and other European contexts. These collaborations included artist exchanges, streamed performances, touring sound systems, and residency-style research and presentation formats. We continued to support Ukrainian artists and organisations, building on previous years of collaboration through programming, knowledge exchange, and international visibility during a period of ongoing crisis. Our international work reinforced IKLECTIK’s commitment to cultural exchange, solidarity, and long-term relationship building beyond borders. Festivals, Fairs, and Community Activity Our Experimental Sound & Book Fair (IKLECTIKA) continued to grow in scale and relevance, hosting over 50 publishers, record labels, artists, and independent platforms, and attracting more than 1,000 visitors since its launch in 2021. In 2024, the fair remained a vital platform for independent publishing, artist-led research, and alternative economies within experimental culture, generating income for stallholders, performers, caterers, and speakers while supporting IKLECTIK’s sustainability. We also delivered the 4th edition of NOISEMAS, our annual community-led fundraising marathon, bringing together dozens of artists across sound, performance, and visual media. This event played a crucial role in sustaining IKLECTIK during a financially challenging transition year and reaffirmed the strength of our community support. Employment, Skills, and Organisational Development During 2024, IKLECTIK worked with approximately 10–15 freelancers and collaborators, including sound engineers, artists, producers, technicians, designers, and communications support. These roles were central to delivering our programme and maintaining operational continuity during the shift away from a permanent venue. The year also marked a period of internal reflection and restructuring, as IKLECTIK developed new strategies around mobility, partnership-led programming, and long-term sustainability, laying the groundwork for a future permanent home while remaining active and visible in the cultural landscape. Funding and Support IKLECTIK’s work in 2024 was supported through a combination of public funding, trusts and foundations, international cultural institutions, earned income, and community fundraising. Support continued from organisations including Arts Council England, British Council, House of Europe, AHRC, and European cultural partners. In addition, IKLECTIK organised several events where donations were collected on behalf of charitable and solidarity organisations. All funds raised were transferred in full to the intended recipients, each of which was a registered charity in the UK or an equivalent recognised body internationally.

Consultation with stakeholders

In 2024, IKLECTIK maintained regular and open dialogue with its stakeholders through informal conversations, participant observation, structured feedback forms, and ongoing collaboration with artists, audiences, freelancers, and partners. This approach allowed us to gather qualitative, real-time feedback during a year of significant organisational change. The directors continued quarterly internal evaluations, reviewing artistic outcomes, audience engagement, financial sustainability, and organisational well-being. Findings were discussed collaboratively with freelancers, volunteers, partners, and external advisors, informing strategic decisions and shaping IKLECTIK’s future direction.

Directors' remuneration

The total amount paid or receivable by directors in respect of qualifying services during 2024 was £13,270. There were no other transactions or arrangements in connection with the remuneration of directors, or compensation for loss of office, that require disclosure.

Transfer of assets

No transfer of assets other than for full consideration
