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 has some deficiency. The balance sheet displays a very modest amount of net assets. For the size of the company as inferred by the balance sheet the amount of net assets represents a slender 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.
