No, me either now. I don’t think you’re missing much.
The only striking change I noticed was ‘other borrowing’ which increased by roughly £1 million. I guess that might be the emergency govt loan. But it is only a guess, because I don’t have any expertise in this area and even if I did, I’ve a suspicion that there’s not enough detail to say anything very definitive.
One thing I find curious (not meaningful, just an oddity) is how precisely the intangible assets are valued. I presume this is the player registrations and maybe the estimated value of a place in super league - if you wanted to transfer all the assets to a new entity, as a going concern, how much you’d be able to realise for creditors and shareholders of Hull FC. Last year it was £1,777,649 and now it is £1,650,880. Like somebody has really worked it out. Surely it is a bit more like valuing a house, and you’d just round off to the nearest £1000 or £5000. Or maybe they started with a round number years ago and there’s some sort of adjustment they apply each year. Appreciation and amortisation algorithms… possibly. Adopting a rigorous approach to updating a purely notional valuation is… I dunno, there’s a kind of sweetly futile conscientiousness to it.
