Besides growing audience sizes and enhancing the cultural life of Hong Kong, the HKRep is committed to further exploring cross-border cultural exchange and sourcing more performance opportunities in China as well as other territories, to ultimately forge a stronger, more distinguished and truly world-class identity for the Company.

The Company has the missions of providing artistic leadership and setting professional standard for the local theatre community; promoting the appreciation of theatrical arts among the audience and enriching the cultural life of the general public.

The Company aims at staging mainstream theatrical works of high quality and to create meticulous productions with great artistic appeal and creativity.

attendance rate of 90%, with a total audience of 88,000 including that of outreach activities. We submit that this result justifies, partly at least, HKRT’s claim to flagship status.

As always, I thank all the members of the Company, our friends, our donors and sponsors, and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of HKSAR for their unstinting support and encouragement.

In the second half of the season, we rallied behind the SAR Government’s call to revitalize Hong Kong. We joined forces with Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra and Hong Kong Dance Company to produce the musical Sweet and Sour Hong Kong in record time. It played to full houses and was re-run in January 2004 under a sponsorship from Shun Hing Group. Most critics, purists and pedants aside, gave the show a thumbs-up; and audiences certainly seemed to have found it most entertaining and enjoyable and uplifting at the same time. We are looking forward to bring the production in September 2004 to Hangzhou for the China Arts Festival, and to Shanghai for public audiences under a private sponsorship.

The production not only galvanized the Company, it also gave a great boost to our Artistic Director Fredric Mao. Unbelievably, the hard work and tight schedule did nothing to hinder the recovery of his health. He rose to the challenge, overcame it with aplomb, and emerged in great spirit.

We are glad to have had the opportunity to demonstrate what repertory companies can do and the level of artistic standards that can be achieved. However, at present, companies with an artistic mission, as distinct from companies with purely commercial motivation, need public subvention in order to survive. There may well be a day when little or no such subsidy is required on top of

Plays that particularly drew public attention were the original musical, Sweet & Sour Hong Kong, jointly presented with the Hong Kong Dance Company and the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, and A Small Family Business, a British theatre hit adapted for the 2004 Hong Kong Arts Festival, with Anthony Wong playing the lead. By applying an integrated marketing approach to their respective publicity campaigns, extensive coverage was generated from both the electronic media and press for these productions.

Another important marketing difference that drew a positive response and very encouraging results was the bundling of the Company’s regular postal subscription with the newly introduced HKRep “PAL” subscription scheme.

The postal subscription channel was furthermore split into Spring / Summer and Autumn / Winter seasons, with different pricings for weekday and weekend shows.

Vigorous External Networking and Conscientious Community Care Apart from maintaining its connections with theatre talents locally, the Company also sought to reinforce its longstanding tradition of cultivating networks outside of Hong Kong.

The most noteworthy of such efforts was

a cultural visit to Xian in October 2003 by management representatives from the highest levels of the HKRep, specifically, the Council Chairman, Artistic Director and Executive Director.

Vital contacts were likewise established with representatives of various cultural facilities and arts organizations from the Mainland, Taiwan and Singapore during the “Conference on the Business of Performing Arts” held in Hong Kong in March 2004.

Other links with Zhejiang cultural officials, business figures and the Shanghai Dramatic Arts Centre have paved the

戲劇文學研究 Literary Research

話劇團的戲劇文㈻研究工作仍在起步階段，亦只㈲㆒位全職的戲劇文㈻研究員。她負責為本年度劇季的 劇目作㈾料搜集，紀錄導演、編劇和主要演員的創作經過，以及演後座談會觀眾的意見、及校對字幕等 工作。她同時㈿助宣傳部門撰㊢和整理宣傳和推廣文稿、編輯場刊、撰㊢部份劇團的導賞文章，以提高 話劇團在戲劇文㈻研究範疇㆖的素質。 The literary research work of the HKRep this season took on a slightly better defined – although still tentative – shape, as there is currently only one Literary Researcher working full-time on a wide range of tasks, including: material research for various productions, development of diverse promotional copy and collateral, editing and writing of background notes for the house programmes, recording the creative processes of the director, playwright and main cast of each show, and collecting audiences’ comments and feedback at the post-show seminars. These efforts nevertheless constitute an indispensable foundation for the gradual development of the Literary Research Unit of the Company.

好友營活動 HKRep Pals

「好友營」的成立，旨在讓愛好戲劇的朋友聚在一起，交流彼此對戲劇的認知和心得。 會員們不單可以藉參與活動跟演員們接觸，亦可獲贈全新設計的季刊《友營報》，掌握話劇團 的最新消息及動態，更可享有九折優先訂票、課程、美食、髮型、購物等商號折扣㊝惠。 2003/04年度好友營共有368名會員，今年為會員舉辦的活動包括：《好友營》一周年派對、 「我最喜愛劇目」選舉、好友營聖誕聚會等。 The HKRep Pals was set up in March 2002 with the aim of strengthening ties between the HKRep and its audiences and to provide members with greater access to the dramatic arts.

(1) GENERAL The company is limited by guarantee, such that under the provisions of the company’s memorandum of association, every member shall, in the event of the company being wound up, contribution such amount may be required to meet the liabilities of the company but not exceeding HK$100 per member.

(2) PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these accounts are set out as below: (a) Basis of preparation The accounts have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Hong Kong and comply with accounting standards issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants. They have been prepared under the historical cost convention. (b) Fixed assets Fixed assets, comprising furniture and fixtures, office equipment, computer equipment, audio equipment and stage equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Fixed assets are depreciated at the annual rate of 33.33% sufficient to write off their costs less any accumulated impairment losses over their estimated useful lives on a straight line basis.

At each balance sheet date, both internal and external sources of information are considered to assess whether there is any indication that assets included in fixed assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated and where relevant, an impairment loss is recognised to reduce the asset to its recoverable amount. Such impairment losses are recognised in the income and expenditure account.

The gain or loss on disposal of fixed asset is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant asset and is recognised in the income and expenditure account. (c)

Operating leases Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of assets, remain with the leasing company are accounted for as operating leases. Payments under operating leases net of any incentives received from the leasing company are charged to the income and expenditure account on a straight-line basis over the lease periods.

(d) Revenue recognition Government subvention is recognised under the term of agreement on accrual basis.

Ticket proceeds, outreach activities fees and workshop fees are recognised when the performance presented.

Other donations are recognised on cash receipt basis.

Bank interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking into account the principal amounts outstanding and the interest rates applicable. (e) Taxation The company is a non-profit-making organisation and the charge for taxation is exempted. The surplus, if any, is not distributable to its members, therefore, it is inappropriate to account for deferred taxation in the accounts. (f)

Provisions Provisions are recognised when the company has a present legal or constructive obligations as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where the company expects a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain.

(g) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other financial institutions, and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash

48

and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, having been within three months of maturity at acquisition. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company’s cash management are also included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the cash flow statement. (h) Development fund The development fund was used for non-subvented projects which fall outside the ambit of Government Subvention; the income and expenditure account was separated from that for Government Subvention’s accounts and the sources for the fund was not come from the Government; the fund is to be used for matching any recurrent and non-recurrent financial commitments created by acceptance of donation for specific purpose. (i)

Employee benefits (i) Employee leave entitlement Employee entitlements to annual leave are recognised when they accrue to employees. A provision is made for the estimated liability for annual leave and long service leave as a result of services rendered by employees up to the balance sheet date.

Employee entitlement to sick leave and maternity or paternity leave are not recognised until the time of the leave. (ii) Retirement benefit costs The company’s contributes to the defined contribution retirement scheme set up pursuant to the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (the "MPF" Scheme) for all qualifying employees are expensed as incurred. The company’s employer contributions vest fully with the employees when contributed into the MPF Scheme.

(j)

Related parties Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.

(3) COUNCIL MEMBERS’ REMUNERATION No remuneration has been paid or is payable to the Council members of the company for the year (2003: Nil).

TO THE JOINT PRESENTERS OF THE "PERFORMANCES : SWEET AND SOUR HONG KONG"

We have audited the accounts on pages 52 to 53 which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong.

Respective responsibilities of joint presenters and auditors It is the responsibility of the joint presenters to prepare accounts which give a true and fair view. In preparing accounts which give a true and fair view it is fundamental that appropriate accounting policies are selected and applied consistently, that judgements and estimates are made which are prudent and reasonable and that the reasons for any significant departure from applicable accounting standards are stated.

It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our audit, on those accounts and to report our opinion solely to you, as a body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other persons for the contents of this report.

Basis of opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Statements of Auditing Standards issued by the Hong Kong Society of Accountants. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the accounts. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the joint presenters in the preparation of the accounts, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the joint venture’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance as to whether the accounts are free from material misstatement.
