Directors' Responsibilities Statement
Year ended 31 May 2022
The directors are responsible for preparing the directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Dundee Football Club Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 May 2022
1. General information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in Scotland. The address of the registered office is Dens Park Stadium, Sandeman Street, Dundee, DD3 7JY, Scotland.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Section 1A of FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
The company has made a loss for the year of £892,440 (2021-profit of £74,279). At the year-end, there was a deficit of £3,392,308 (2021-deficit of £2,499,868) of shareholders' funds. In considering the company's ability to continue as a going concern in relation to the continuing significant level of deficit on shareholders' funds, the directors of the company have considered interim financial statements and detailed financial projections prepared covering the period to 31 May 2023, as well as further financial projections covering the year to 31 May 2024. The projections reflect the expected trading results for season 2022/23 as well as for season 2023/24, which are not expected to be better than the results reported for year end 31 May 2022. These projections have been drawn up on the basis of conservative assumptions as to the league position to be achieved by the football club, attendance levels at matches, and the management of all costs, including expenditure on players costs. The financial projections which have been prepared anticipate that the company will be able to meet its ongoing financial commitments from funds generated from operations. As the company does not have formal funding facilities in place to cover any financial deficits which might occur during the forecast period, the directors recognise that the company might again require to obtain further financial support from the company's majority shareholder, Football Partners Scotland L.P. The board of directors has received an undertaking in writing from Football Partners Scotland L.P. that it will continue to make additional funds available to the company in situations where these funds are required, with the aim of ensuring that the company has sufficient funds available to meet its financial commitments as they fall due and that this undertaking is given for at least the 12 months period from the date of signing these financial statements. The directors are satisfied that Football Partners Scotland L.P. has sufficient financial resources to fulfill this undertaking. Consequently, the directors consider that it is appropriate to continue to prepare the accounts on the going concern basis.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Revenue recognition
Turnover comprises amounts invoiced or received by the company in respect of season ticket sales, gate receipts, donations and other commercial income, exclusive of Value Added Tax. Season ticket and commercial income sales which relate to the next football season starting after the year end date are deferred and recognised in the following year.
Foreign currencies
Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the profit and loss account.
Operating leases
Operating lease rentals require to be accounted for on a straight line basis over the full lease term. Where there is a difference between the rental amounts accounted for on that basis on that basis and the rentals actually paid per the terms of the lease, then the difference is charged or credited to the statement of comprehensive income and adjusted against the provision (see note 13).
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Any intangible assets carried at revalued amounts, are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation, as determined by reference to an active market, less any subsequent accumulated amortisation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful life of that asset as follows:
Player registration
-
Straight line over length of contract
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in amortisation rate, useful life or residual value of an intangible asset, the amortisation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Tenant's improvements
-
Straight line over the remaining life of the lease
Plant and machinery
-
10%-33% Reducing balance and Straight line
Fixtures and fittings
-
10%-33% Straight line
Motor vehicles
-
20% Straight line
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
Finance leases and hire purchase contracts
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts are recognised in the statement of financial position as assets and liabilities at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments, which is determined at the inception of the lease term. Any initial direct costs of the lease are added to the amount recognised as an asset. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method. Finance charges are allocated to each period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised using the accrual model. Under the accrual model, government grants relating to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis over the periods in which the company recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which it it becomes receivable.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense. Provisions are initially measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date and subsequently reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best estimate of the amount that would be required to settle the obligation. Any adjustments to the amounts previously recognised are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income unless the provision was originally recognised as part of the cost of an asset. The terms of the stadium lease provide for an annual escalation of rentals payable. On adoption of FRS 102, the company has established a significant provision for additional rental costs recognised in the accounts as a result of the change in accounting to a straight line basis to comply with FRS 102.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately. For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics. Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised .
Pension cost
The pension cost charged in the financial statements represents the contributions payable by the company during the year.
4. Staff costs
The average number of persons employed by the company during the year amounted to 59 (2021: 43 ).
The aggregate payroll costs incurred during the year, relating to the above, were:

Under FRS 102, rental amounts payable in relation to leases require to be accounted for on a straight line basis over the full lease term. The company's stadium lease provides for an annual escalation in rentals payable. With the transition to FRS 102, a transitional adjustment was needed to reflect additional rental charges for earlier years. The total of these earlier years' differences was deferred as a provision. Each year, the difference between the straight line rental amount and the amount payable per the lease will be charged (where amounts payable are lower) or credited (where amounts payable are higher) to the statement of comprehensive income and adjusted against the provision.
