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
“The Board of Directors have reviewed the future financial position of the company by preparing detailed cash flow forecasts to the end of season 2025/26. These have been prepared on a cash break-even basis in 2025/26 and it is the Board's view that there will be adequate funding in place to cover all known liabilities as the fall due until the end of the season. The Board has considered uncertainties over the various income streams of the company, and there are a number of actions that can be taken to reduce costs should forecasted income be lower than expected. As with most football clubs, income is front loaded to the start of the financial year. With minimal structured debt and creditors paid in a timely fashion, this allows the Board to prepare a budget for 2026/27 based on expected income for the following season regardless of which league the club is in and cut or increase squad and other costs as appropriate. Therefore, it is the directors' assessment that the financial statement can be prepared on a going concern basis.”
