Cerep UK Investment D GP Ltd (no. 05768117) was recently issued with a striking off notice (upon which it would be dissolved) by Companies House unless sufficient cause was shown why such an action should not be allowed to proceed.. The reason for this? The company had failed to file its accounts by the due date.
Given that the accounts have only two amounts on the balance sheet: cash at bank of £1,018 and loan of (approximately) £14.9 million, you would have thought that the company would have filed the accounts in good time. Of course, there are other aspects to the accounts, mainly the notes relating to its only shareholder, Freeport (of which it owns 100% of the shares - or should that be the one share!), and a few notes, too - like controlling parties..
So why did the company miss its deadline for submitting its accounts to Companies House and incur the possible wrath of the Registrar of the companies. Its accounts are so simple they must have taken its accountants, RSM Tenon Audit Limited, less a day to complete.
Cerep UK (we assume) had to wait for Freeport to finalize its own accounts so that its profit, or loss in this case (of £68,671), could be shown on the its (Cerep's) own accounts. But did it have wait so long?
Further, we assume that the directors of Cerep UK Investment D GP Ltd (Robert Hodges, Robert Konisberg and Eric Sasson), were not overly concerned that a company with a balance sheet deficit of £14.9 should show up with a fed flag.!
