  financial data over the ten-year period 2004/2005
  to 2014/2015
• 205 pro forma submitted
• 91 uploaded into database (44)

Pro forma Database

• To collect pro forma data in a logical framework
• Populated by information submitted by landlords

  towards 2015

RSL Results

• Actual analysis based on only 66 cases
• Some large RSLs not yet uploaded (notably GHA)
• Arguably aggregate RSL figures not representative
  of stock to present any details with confidence

Future work

• Pro forma modified to make updating information
  easier
• Database will store updated data alongside
  existing data allowing time series analysis of
  actual figures
• SDP validation continues, data quality improves
