The comparative figures have been restated to correct a prior period error. A balance of £1,850 was recognised as a debtor at 31 December 2022 in respect of an anticipated accountancy fee. No service was provided and no fee was ever charged, so the balance did not represent an asset. Retained earnings brought forward at 1 January 2024 have been reduced by £1,850; debtors at 31 December 2024 have been reduced by £1,830 and amounts owed to the director increased by £20. There is no effect on the result for either year.
The comparative figures have also been adjusted to reclassify £137 of pension contributions outstanding at 31 December 2024 from debtors to creditors, so that the prior year is presented on the same basis as the current year. Net assets are unaffected.
