On the right hand side of the page there is a basket marked order information on this company
on the list you are looking for code AA (Annual Accounts). The desciption will be something like total exemption small.
Should be available to buy all the way back to about 1995.
Downloads cost £1 each and are available for redownload for 10 days before you have to buy it again if you haven't saved a copy away.
HTH,
Shaun.
p.s. editied because the AA line didn't read how I meant it to at all!

which also links to directly into directorcheck in order to search other directorships including any dissolution's that they have left in their wake.
The original poster however wanted to download the original documents from 2008 for which I believe companies house is the best source.
kind regards,
Shaun.
amended because the "from 2008" bit was missing.

Duedil sometimes have the previous years pdf - even though the info displayed on screen is for the latest year.
Companycheck is annoying now there is an extra step to go through - where they email the pdf out to you rather than display it or even let you download it directly.
Still, both are free so why should I complain.

Duedil is very useful for research, but I found for accounts it's usually quite a way behind the paid services.
Personally I use company searches made simple, it's £199 for a year but you do get unlimited accounts, documents and you can put a watch on a company so if anything changes then you get an email.
They tend to only be a few days behind companies house so for the price are very good.
We are working on removing the email link for downloading PDF's. We had to implement it because of other companies building scrapers to download 000's of documents over a short period. The email step meant that they couldn't use our system and pass it off as their own.
It is now enabled for Pro users and we are currently building 2nd step of verification so that free users can also benefit from a direct download.
When I download the free pdf from companycheck or pay £1 to companies house I get the same document but it only shows me assets and liabilites.
It is called Abbreviated Unaudited Accounts.
But all there is, is an 'Abbrevated Balacne Sheet' that shows assets and liabilities and reserves. Under Reserves it says profit and loss account, what does this mean in this context?
And a section on 'tangible fixed assets' that shows depreciation.
There is no Income Statement, Statement of changes of equity or Cash flow statements, all of which I thought were legally required. So whats up?
Small companies are allowed to file abbreviated accounts at Companies House (see here for more details). As you noted, these generally consist of a balance sheet, accounting policy notes, a fixed asset summary and details of share capital.
They still have to prepare full accounts for their shareholders, which would include a profit and loss account and more detailed notes to the accounts, but these don't need to be made publicly available.
