- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “The club secured an Ashes Rugby League Test match at Headingley in November 2025 and is again hosting the Leeds Rob Burrow Marathon. It has also secured a long term medical imaging partner to be based at the stadium and is in active discussions to bring additional events to the stadium.”
- “The company has made qualifying third party indemnity provisions for the benefit of its directors during the year. These third party indemnities cover all directors and remain in force at the reporting date.”
- “During the year the company amassed a total taxable loss of £1,962,167 of which £410,549 was utilised against property income profits. The remaining £1,551,618 has been surrendered to group companies on a paid bas's.”
- “During the year the group loan with Leeds Rhinos Netball Limited was formalised into a loan to be repaid after 5 years.”
