Going concern

Affirmed

“At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, despite the company having net liabliitles of £3,148,656 at the balance sheet date, due to the continued financial support of its parent company and its directors. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”

Significant events

• “2024 proved to be another financially challenging year despite an increase in turnover to £6.5 million (2023: £6.3 million) as revenues are still way below pre-pandemic levels of £7.4 million.”
• “Losses before tax increased to £1.9 million as expected, due to several mitigating factors.”
• “The performance of the team in the 2024 season was a considerable improvement on 2023 with the club having reached the Challenge Cup Final and also finishing in the top three in the Super League Table.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
