Filing Accounts with Companies House

[KatyMac]

Oh poop

I though I had done last years accounts (the company didn't trade) & I just got a letter saying I haven't

What do they want - can I do it on-line (if I can find the number) or is it a paper jobby?

you could, but if you want to keep it not a problem.
So - are the accounts making sense now?

How many are issued - I thought 1

But it isn't balancing

So called up share capital not paid = 100
Current assets = 0
Net assets = 100

Authorised share capital = 100 ordinary @£1
Issued Share Capital = ?

no - called up share capital not paid = 1

current assets = 1

net assets = 1

authorised share capital = 100 ordinary @£1

issued share capital = 1

If I make current assets 0 it balances

Not how you expected to spend Valentines evening is it - I appreciate your help

During the year the company allotted 1 ordinary shares with an aggregate nominal value of £1 the consideration received by the company was £1 ?? is that right or not? Should the consideration be 0?

no, not 0 - use figures in my last post.

TBH I am never sure about that one, on reflection I have decided that consideration is £1 (ie the consideration is the debt owed to the company).

That automatically changes the net assets to 2

oh, I can't picture it now.
Ok - if "called up share capital not paid" is showing as a separate line leave current assets as 0.

you have to do a check anyway at the end so it will make sure the numbers make sense.

"Current assets" has "Cash at bank & in hand" written under neath it

ok, nil

Well it worked

Thanks so much

I will ring on Monday to see if they are going to fine me, I will try & blame the accountant for not sending the letter - but I don't hold out much hope

I really appreciate your help - Thanks again

no problem.
They will fine you. If the accounts were for y/e Feb 08 they were due late last year.
Companies House won't care, tbh it isn't worth the phone call. The penalty notice will come in the post in a week or so.
If anything I would ring the accountant and tell them that you are holding them responsible for not forwarding mail received and you expect them to pay the fine.

I would also change the registered office online while you are there.

I won't tell DH - hope I get to the letter before him
