Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“On the basis of their assessment of the company's financial position, the enquiries made of the directors of GLID Wind Farms Topco Limited and the letter of support issued by GLID Wind Farms Topco Limited for the period to 30 April 2026, the company's directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”
Significant events
- “The company's long-term plan is to generate fixed price revenue for the life of the wind farms and to decommission or repower the wind farms at the end of the economic lives. No decision has been made to change the long-term plan.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
