25 Mar 2013	Company accounts accepted by Companies House.	Again undertaken in house, using Quickbooks recording transactions.
27 Mar 2012	Company accounts accepted by Companies House.	This followed an intensive in house production of accounts, including weekend work, culminating in successful submission of business accounts
24 Mar 2012	The MD in discussion with the company's accountants was extremely disappointed to note that the accounts were nowhere near ready, with an estimated week's work to go. The MD was informed the best he could hope for was accounts submitted literally at the deadline, leaving no time to allow for rejection as recommended by Companies House. The MD is well aware that failure to produce accountants on time is a criminal offence for the Directors of a company.	The MD decided that the company needed to take over producing the accounts from the company's accountants, due to failure for them to produce accounts in comfortable time to meet the required deadline. A deep disappointment particularly when the company had the figures ready in December 2011. This years accounts will be produced in house by Datalite UK Ltd in time to meet required deadlines, due to failure of their appointed chartered accountant.
19 Mar 2012	MD has got to the bottom of why work on company accounts has not even started by the company's accountant. Apparently the chief accountant of the accountant company has been absent for 4 months out of six, and is still off due to medical reasons.	MD gave the accountants until Friday 23 March 2012 to produce accounts, otherwise stated they will need to be done in house.
16 Mar 2012	The MD of Datalite UK Ltd has been constantly monitoring production of accounts. During the course of the past week he has been extremely disappointed to note that these had still not been done. Indeed a two week extension was requested to companies house, but turned down as problems with accountant was not deemed a sufficient reason.	The law appears very unfair in this area, most companies employ accountants, but the directors remain absolutely responsible in Companies House eyes, for all errors and delays instigated by accountants. Albeit complaints can be made to the Institute of Chartered Accountants.
5 Mar 2012	The company has decided to recruit two more Sales & Despatch staff, namely Aden and Sarah. Recent staff shortages, have highlighted the need to have better absence cover.	Also a reflection on the company's continuing expansion.
1 Feb 2012	Datalite UK Ltd has prepared records for the period 1 July 2012 to 30 Jun 2011, for the company's accountants to produce accounts.
31 Jan 2012	Datalite UK Ltd is again pleased to announce a record Sales figure for January 2012. The month saw a record gross paid sales figure that is over 5% higher than the previous record in November 2011. This result is even more pleasing when considering, traditionally January is usually the quietest sales month of the year.	Underpinned by some of the paid Sales figures comprising of late payers from previous months, offset by invoiced sales in January 2012. Nevertheless even accounting for this actual sales made during the month were at a record level.
3 Dec 2011	Datalite UK Ltd is very pleased to announce excellent sales and profit figures for the month of November 2011. The month saw a record gross sales figure that was over 10% higher than its previous sales record set in November 2010. The NET profit figure was also the highest ever achieved in a single month.	Company Bonus paid to staff member Samantha Hely for her part in gaining a substantial frame order from a company chain owned by Theo Pathitis of television's Dragons Den.
