Balance ***



Okay, the end is getting closer.

Thanks to the help I've completed the Trading and Profit and Loss AND
the statutory Profit and Loss (I know the Trading Profit and Loss is
not part of the statutory accounts hence why I make the distinction
and you know what I'm talking about).

After completing the Profit and Loss I have made a loss. After adding
the 'Retained profit BROUGHT forward' from last year I have a profit
figure.

Again looking at previous years account, the 'Retained profit carried
forward' figure is the figure that, when added to the 'Called up share
capital' in the Balance *** should come to the same figure as the
Total Assets Less Current Liabilities figure in Balance ***?

To give you an idea of what I'm talking about, my figures are:

P & L
Operating Profit: (2254)
Profit Before Taxation: (2161)
Retained profit brought forward: 8413
Retained profit carried forward: 3277

Balance ***
Tangible Assets: 2762
Net Current Assets: (8125) (this figure is due to a large creditors
amount)
Total Assets Less Curr. Liabilities: (5363)

My questions are:

1. I have a lot of negative figures, should any of them just be 0
instead (ie. some negative figures might not be possible so a 0 is
used instead)?

2. Should the Shareholders funds = Called Up Share Capital (2 in this
case) + Retained Profit C/F from P & L (if so I'm sort of stuck)?

3. A slight deviation, however under Debtors in the Notes I have Trade
Debtors and Other Debtors - the figure for the previous year has a
large Other Debtors figure and I can't see any reason for this - can
somebody give me the obvious 'Other Debtors' (if there are any) to
look for?

Again thank you in advance for any help.
