Dundee FC finances

Copied from P&B thanks Mr Chisholm

Accounts for year ended 31 July 2009, filed at Companies House 26 March 2010:

Turnover ?2.1m (2008 -?1.8m)

Net loss ?286k (?85k)

Wages ?1.6m - 75% of turnover (?1.2m - 67%)

Intangible Assets ?295k (?25k) (value of players - will presumably include Griffiths & Harkins)

Cash in hand ?227k (?214k)

Total Current Assets ?375k (?435k) (Cash, trade debtors & other debtors)

Trade Creditors ?190k (?121k) (invoices owed to other businesses)

Other Creditors ?758k (?623k) (short term loans from Bennett, PAYE & NI, VAT, ST/sponsorship received in advance of the 2009-10 season & accrued costs)

Total Current Liabilities ?947k (?745k) (trade & other creditors)

Long Term Libilities ?430k (?150k) (presumably loans from Melville (Bennett) agreed not to be repaid within 1 year)

Balance Sheet shows the club is insolvant to the value of ?701k (?427k).

Wages = 75% of turnover? That's madness, but of course they're rent free but if Melville walks Dundee collapse in a heap. Is it any wonder things are so bad at Dens now?

I'm sure those figures are a lot better than a lot of full time clubs. Of course it helps that they were able to wipe the slate clean and start afresh when they went bust a few years ago.

Based on thiose figures they only have a solvency problem if Melville demands his loans back, which he'd be stupid to do.

However, if they are faced with another season in Div 1, things will be bleaker.

Do we publish our accounts for general public or do you need to get them from Comapnies House?
