The director's review of the business is set to reveal a turnover of £65.2 million for the year ending May 31, 2012, and a net profit of £14.6 million after tax - despite operating costs including wages.
And the club say that plans to increase the capacity of the Liberty Stadium to 35,000 are being discussed, with the idea of a phased development over a two-year period "when the timing is right."

The net profit, which was boosted by the £5 million received from Liverpool for the loss of former boss Brendan Rodgers and the three staff members to move with Rodgers more than counteracts the net loss of £8.3 million incurred from the promotion push in the previous financial year.
A statement on the club's site said: "The directors will reiterate their resolve to continue to manage budgets which should produce a level of profit capable of generating sufficient cash to fund future growth and capital investment plans.
"While the extent and timing of a capital investment program relies heavily on the club’s ability to remain in the Premier League, some progress has already been made.
"Work is well underway on the £2.5 million Landore training ground development and the creation of a partnership with Swansea University which involves the acquisition of a long-term lease of the playing fields at Fairwood, which will result in a first class training complex befitting a Premier League club.
"Plans to increase the capacity of the Liberty Stadium are already being discussed with the idea of a phased development over a two-year period when the timing is right.
"Further details and comment will follow on the release of the full accounts."
