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

- Auditor
- Comptroller and Auditor General
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, as the cash receipts under the securitisation contractual framework exceed the senior debt repayments and costs of operation, and Secretary of State has unconditionally assumed the long-term obligation for those cash receipts.”
Significant events
- “In June 2009, the Secretary of State ("the Secretary of State") became the beneficial owner of the Company's entire share capital. He unconditionally assumed the long-term obligations to fund the Company to service its note obligations.”
- “In November 2020, HM Treasury and the UK Statistics Authority published their response to the "Consultation on the Reform to Retail Prices Index (RPI) Methodology".”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
