Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-06-30 vs 2023-06-30

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

Affirmed

“At the year ended 30 June 2024, the Company suffered a loss of £2,300,639 (2023: £2,152,035) and a net current liability position of £522,154 (2023: £155,997). The Company remains reliant upon the support of the WRU, its various funders and the ongoing support and goodwill of fans, commercial sponsors, Directors & shareholders. The Directors have reviewed the current financial position and projected future cashflows and have a reasonable expectation that the company will have sufficient resources to operate for a period of at least 12 months from the approval of the accounts, due to the continued support of its investors. On this basis, the accounts are prepared on a going concern basis.”
