Total reserves including retained profitability and movement in reserves has some deficiency. For the size of the company inferred by the balance sheet this level of net assets suggests total debts and obligations were moderately well covered. 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.

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
