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

- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The Company is cash generative and is forecast to remain cash positive. The forecast cash generated is adequate to meet the Company's liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements including the scheduled partial repayment of bond capital and interest. In the unlikely event that a change in circumstances results in the Company being short of adequate cash to service the bond an arrangement approved by the Northern Ireland Authority for Utility Regulation would be triggered which would ensure bond payments are made. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements.”
Auditor, going-concern and subsidiary information is drawn from the narrative of the latest annual accounts. About these numbers
