That 11.5 mil figure includes the Westpac amount (6.5) that the AFL is guarantor for, right?
Im not an accountant, so feel free to chime in if you have a better idea. Numbers below have been sourced from last years financial report, and I've rounded numbers in calculations.
Looking at the revenue last year we had $20mil from the AFL, $9 mil from members and $7.5 mil in sponserships and events. Assuming sponsership revenue declines by 80%, memberships only decline by 20% and there are no merch sales, non-AFL revenue would become ~$9 mil.
On the other side, total operating costs not including finance costs came to $46 mil. The staff wages and player payments were $30mil. Assuming that the wage bill can be reduced by 30% but everything else can only be reduced by 20%, then the total costs not including finance would be $34 mil.
So as a ballpark figure, we may potentially need somewhere around $25 mil from the AFL. Now it all comes down to how nice the AFL are. Assuming the AFL says they will pay 80% of last years distrbutions as a sign of goodwill (works out to $16 mil), this would mean that the rest ($9 mil) would be an additional loan. So our total debt would increase to $20 mil.
What do others think?
I'm also no accountant, I just look at technical documentation and engineering docs daily on other goods which also include plenty of numbers and similar wordings if more "fire, electrical, chemical" instances.
But yes it does, the 6.7 is the guarantee that we exist, not the 10-12-47 or random bullshit people spout.
Without knowing the bank from basically October last year to now, everyone is guessing, all we have thus far as ironclad is;
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1(b) in the financial statements, which indicates that, as at 31 October 2019, the Group’s current
liabilities exceeded its current assets by $10,452,263. As stated in Note 1(b), these events or conditions, along with other
matters as set forth in Note 1(b), indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s
ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter
The assumption is that the loan due to depreciation of said assets and downturn is around 800k (770 odd) and our actual loss was around 330k, so puts it at at 1.1 additional if we're talking total likely increase which then is around 11.5 if it had to be here and now. Keep in mind, over the same period the Lions had above 13;
Going concern
The Company has reported a profit of $648,618 for the year ended
31 October 2019 (2018: loss of $230,641). As at 31 October 2019 the
Company has Accumulated Losses of $12,715,877 (2018: accumulated
losses of $13,364,495) and a net current asset deficiency of $13,445,872
(2018: $12,236,104).
Or otherwise were almost 3 million worse off than we are, theirs is also an 8m loan drawn to 7.3 instead of our 6.7 drawn to 6.25, slightly better position overall but greater overall bank required is arguably equal/irrelevant.
The long and short is that if chips were called, we all exist, but if the AFL say "we need X to run a comp" and call for it, we're in the s**t, theyre in the s**t and you'll likely have a comp of about 6 teams who aren't in the s**t and most of them are interstate.
