If this truly was the complete end of Camel Audio's business, there would be no reason for doing so.
Taxes. Even if they're closing up shop, taxes.
still have to report the financials...and they came from the period before as listed in the bolded section.

source?
but what means 01/08/15 for our confused transatlantic friends.
maybe they only recover? marketing stunt? i mean everybody talked about CA in the last time, this thread goes on and on.
Source? Companies House (England &Wales)

"but what means 01/08/15 for our confused transatlantic friends." Americans write the date differently to the UK.

Filing documents at Companies House has nothing to do with taxes. Tax returns are filed with HM Revenue & Customs.

He made a mistake.
Just like CA's accountants may have done when lodging their original statements ;)
In short, it means nuffing. Mistake intentional :hihi:

Why bother with them, when you can pick up WusikStation for a far more reasonable price?

Or is this a joke?

Camel Audio Limited filed its last accounts to 31/03/14 on 26/11/14. Its next accounts aren't due for filing until 31/12/15.

It did occur to me that as they are continuing to provide support until July, they might want to keep their filing up to date. However, the Statement of Capital filed relates to 04/07/03 (the date of the company's incorporation) and the fact that an amended Annual Return was filed leads me to think that somebody has been making sure the company's statutory records are in good order. Why?

The information I have given regarding filing at Companies House is in the public domain so I'm not giving away any confidential information. Anything else is speculation... :)

The fact that submitted a statement of capital pretty much on the date they went dark suggest to me that they are indeed getting the final accounts in order before ceasing trading. I'm not sure exactly what you need to do in the UK when closing a business, but I assume a notice on your website isn't enough for the bureaucrats, NDA or not.

Maybe someone with a bit more insight into UK company law can tell us more :)

Obviously there was a mistake, that's why an amended Annual Return was filed. :)

A solvent private limited company can be brought to an end in 3 ways in England &Wales:

1. Members' voluntary liquidation (a solvent liquidation) - where any remaining assets are distributed to shareholders and the company is struck off once the liquidator files his final return.

2. Voluntary striking off - whereby the company requests the registrar of Companies to strike off the company.

3. Striking off for non-filing of returns.

None of these procedures would require making sure your filing at Companies House was accurate since incorporation.

How long a lecture on UK company law do you want? :)

Whether any of this means that somebody is looking to buy the company's shares, or just the company's business, or neither is another matter. We can only wait and see. :wink:

nice to see we get back on topic again.

No joke, WusikStation packs a lot of power, you can even stack patches :o

No doubt there are linkages:

Wusik Station: WaveSequencing + Vector Synthesis + Sample Based + Additive

Alchemy: Analogue/Subtractive + Granular + Sample Based + Additive

BTW, is Camel on a tour now?
