Fund Accounts - Help explain this.

Post  Pershing36 on Wed Dec 07, 2011 3:16 pm

Just out of interest I thought I would have a look at some of the Madeleine funds statistics.

It seems that the companies capital in the bank peaked in 2009. However the Net worth, continued to fall. How is it that a company takes more money yet it's value decreases? The assets have also fallen well off as well, does this mean assets were sold which would explain a rise in the bank balance? . What kind of assets could they own worth £520,000? That seems like an awful lot of cuddly toys, wrist bands and tee shirts.

One thing is clear that the statistics show a clear path, money available is falling, Net worth is falling, company assets are falling, liabilities are rising. Seems at this rate there will be nothing by 2013 without a major boost.

Sorry I edited because I thought I made a mistake.

2008
1,115,000 in assets
572,000 cash
105,000 liabilities

This is what I cannot work out. If I take the liabilities off the cash you get £467,000. But they are returning assets of 1,115,000. If I take of the available cash minus the liabilities then they have something worth £648,000.

2009
740,000 in assets
720,000 in cash
50,000 in liabilities

using the same system I get cash of £670,000. If I minus that off the assets it is only £20,000.


So that is a big change in a year. So what could be declared as an asset. I gather stock of their tee shirts, toys etc. Would that mean that they sold £628,000 in stock in a year but then only replaced it with £20,000?

Sorry I am probably wrong in all of this.

Kate was working from home studying the files was she not? I'm wondering if perhaps the fund bought their house and it is perhaps being used techincally as an office?

Didn't brian kennedy set up some investigation offices, maybe these were assets and he has now closed at least one of them

Just a quick note to say I had to edit original post I had made errors. However there is still some things that others might be able to explain.

I did company tax returns a few years ago (seem to of forgotten a lot of it now), the companies filled in a detailed tax pack showing what money had been spent on, what assets they had etc. Assets can be anything from a computer, vehicles, machinery to buildings they own.

This is where I got stuck. From 2008 accounts to 2009 accounts they changed from having 648,000 to 20,000 in assets whilst maintaining a fairly stable bank balance. If a good sum of the assets were the finding Madeleine merchandise it has been reduced massively from 2008 to practically nothing in 2010. The bank balance would suggest they sold the assets so why did not replace them with anywhere near the quantities again.

It is like a supermarket saying we sold 2 million Turkeys last xmas making 30 million pounds however this year we are only going to buy 600!!

There must be something I am missing here it all makes no sense.

March 2008 was around the time that they sued the Express for £500,000 this would have paid later in the year and included as a debtor (asset) in the accounts.

Cool that explains it. So it appears the only way this company makes money is by legal action. Even with that it is in a rapid decline to nothing.

The legal team should get their finger out, or their client will have no money to pay them in a year or two.

I am just impressed by their business strategy. All they have to do is continue to be controversial and try and wind the press up. Sooner or later somebody will take the bait and they can sue them. Why waste your time trying to manufacture, sell, supply or provide a service. This idea is ingenious, one libel suit is more than I can make in 6 years, I work far too hard.
