Gospeed - What's Happening?

Here are some interesting links.

The question now is, what is with all the Compulsary Striking Off shennanigans?

Wouldn't it be interesting to see what the 2014 and 2015 figures would be for the "Debtors" which as this basically means SkySports, must be the value of the TV contract?

 

GoSpeed Info at Companys House
Check out the "Total Exemption" links for the 2011-12 & 2012-13 accounts

Now it looks to my untrained eye here that this is a company where the "assets" are in the form of money owed to it (debtors) and that money owed is increasing year on year. Isn't there a point where money owed needs to be collected and counted as cash in bank, or spent on what it should be spent on?

Terry Russell's previous company "Go Speed Ltd" ceased trading in 2010 - details here - one has to wonder where the new incarnation of Terry Russells company is going. With the apparent (and intended) beneficiaries of Go Speed being British Speedway, this is potentially concerning to all.

 

Can someone who knows about accounting things kindly explain please?

Guess would be the Annual Return was overdue, as the striking off was cancelled the day after it was received.

The company revenue is apparently too small to have to file detailed accounts, and there's very little detail you can glean from abbreviated accounts.

At a guess, GSI is just a vehicle for collecting and paying El Tel's fees from the deal. The money may have been unpaid for the year at the time of doing the accounts.

And entertaining reading that made... ;)
