Notes:

1. The payments are made under the Aircraft and Shipbuilding Industries (Northern Ireland) Order 1979.

2. Until 1980 the company's annual accounts were on a calendar year basis; those for 1981–82 were adjusted and covered a 15-month period; thereafter on a financial year basis. The selling value of work done and employee figures follow this pattern. Both are based on the company's annual accounts.
