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 has some deficiency. 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. Information provided by Companies House shows Liquidation.

Estimated Mid Value £YY,000 EBIT £SY,000
Estimated Low Value £X,000 EBITDA £SSX,000
