Yeah, or similar wording. Chris Gaunt said we'd only received about 10% of the claim so far but sees no reason why we shouldn't receive the full 2m.

That’s good news. I’m sure it was reported only 1 club had put this in place (Dundee maybe?). Glad we had the foresight.

KPMG says accounts fair if I picked that up right.

Basically just that the numbers presented are accurate enough.

Was curious about the uncertainty relating to going concern though - I don't imagine either Hibs or KPMG would have wanted to include that and it reads as if it could have been avoided had Ron provided some assurances. But without knowing what was being looked for specifically it could be that it wasn't something that could have been as easily chatted away as I've read it to be.

Also confirmed that we'd taken the scottish government's loan option of £1.8m. Repayments over 20 years with 0% interest. First repayment due September 2022.
