If I’m reading this right we have nearly $5m in debt coming due in the next 12 months. Looks like we’ll be restructuring our debt unless there’s a $5m windfall we don’t know about.
*waits for correcting post by REH*
We have renegotiated the terms of the debt. All clubs and general organisations who have high levels of short term debt, try and renegotiate longer terms or roll it over with new short term commercial bills. Obviously it depends how strong a balance sheet you have, or in our case - just like about 10 or 12 other AFL clubs - if you get a guarantee from the AFL to give the bank comfort to roll over the debt.
