Can I have some financial information about the company?

The accounts are only available up to the end of 2001 because the final accounts for 2002 and beyond have not yet been finalised. However, the business does know how the accounts are looking through the use of their accounting software package which links all aspects of the trade directly through to a computer at the house. Weekly sales figures, monthly data and annual turnover so far can all be identified through this system.

Jilly knows that the turnover last year (2003) was around £150,000. Given that the business was turning over just £15,000 a year in 1997, this represents a 900% increase in turnover in 6 years!

The financial accounts for the company since 1999 are also available in Biz/ed's financial database.
