It does. These only show the financial results for 2008, a single year, though and not the overall balance sheet.
What I would say is that few clubs operate with robust business models that are self-sustaining, apart from Leeds and Hull FC, which is disappointing. Whether it's Davy at Huddersfield, Wilkinson at Salford or Moran at Warrington, there is huge over-reliance on individual benefactors to just keep putting their hands in their pocket. The salary cap is working in terms of levelling out the competition, but not in terms of helping clubs manage their financial positions responsibly. You do have to wonder how much longer the operation in London will go on and what purpose it serves other than a weekend away for supporters of the other clubs.
