The headlines from the report are:-
- The club made a loss in the year of £480k – compared to a £285k loss in the previous year. This is due to an increase in turnover of £209k, offset by an increase in costs of £404k – largely related to an increase in wage/ salary costs of £352k.
- The club continues to have no debt and holds around about £1m cash in the bank.
- The directors took no salary or dividend payments from the club consistent with prior years.
- The club was in a positive net assets position at 30th June 2015 of £11.8m – that is to say it had £11.8m more assets than liabilities at that date.
