- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' 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 company'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.”
Significant events
- “Throughout the 2024 Super League season, Castleford Tigers demonstrated modest improvement on the field, securing a 10th-place finish.”
- “Off-field development included Martin Jepson purchasing the Fulton family's shareholding and becoming majority shareholder on 30 April, aiming to attract new investment and reshape governance.”
- “Off-field efforts centered heavily on infrastructure enhancement and IMG grading compliance, reallocating resources toward stadium improvements and securing a Grade A IMG license.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
