The following is based on the accounts data presented in this report sourced from Companies House, however the company has filed later accounts. Our analysis of the latest account can be viewed by unlocking our full report.

Current debt exceeded short term liquid assets as at the balance sheet date. We would normally view this in the context of other profitability and solvency indicators. Total reserves including retained profitability and movement in reserves appeared positive. We would normally view a company positively for this. The balance sheet presents modest net assets. For the size of the company as inferred by the balance sheet the amount of net assets represents a relatively small margin of cover over total debts and obligations. The latest accounts are not up-to-date. Later accounts are now overdue. Late filing is not a positive factor. Analysis based on the latest figures available must be taken in the context that the figures are not up-to-date.

The going concern valuations value the company on the basis that it continues to trade without the threat of liquidation for the foreseeable future. These valuations are primarily profit and cashflow based.

Valuations Valuation Measures
Estimated High Value £XSI,000 Retained Profit £YX,000
Estimated Mid Value £YY,000 EBIT £SY,000
Estimated Low Value £X,000 EBITDA £SSX,000

Liquidation Valuation

The liquidaton valuation values the company as if it were to cease trading and assets were subject to rapid disposal to cover liabilities. This valuation is primarily asset based.

Valuations Valuation Measures
Estimated High Value £XY,000 Total Assets £XIX,000
Estimated Mid Value £Y,000 Net Assets £YX,000
Estimated Low Value £S,000 Tangible Equity £SX,000

The above valuations are based on our own algorithms and take no account of many factors that can influence actual valuations realized and should not therefore be assumed to be accurate.
