As a totally non-professional entity with no external funding, revenue is almost totally derived from ticket sales. In striving to present top quality music theatre at the lowest possible prices, CLOC has carved out a significant market share in an increasingly demanding and sophisticated music theatre audience. CLOC endeavours to maintain a reasonable liquid asset reserve to protect creditors against the failure of any production while at the same time providing for the future. CLOC's balance sheet has continued to show steady growth over the forty three years that CLOC has been operating.

CLOC's conservative approach of tight budgeting and marginal profits has resulted in steady growth - albeit somewhat slow. This means that from time to time there is an opportunity to mount a work of acknowledged artistic merit, but of less certain commercial success. Production budgets are in the range $130,000 to $200,000
