You can’t really do anything on Amazon to get your Balance Sheet.
Your balance sheet is made up of such things as how much sssets you have, your liabilities and how much money you are owed in addition to other things.
No report on Amazon will tell you this.
At rhe same time you file your balance sheet you normally file your return to HMRC so they can calculate how much corporation tax you need to pay. This is not easy to do unless you really know what you are doing.
Your accounting package though should give you a balance sheet for your year end which will contain most of the information you need to submit your balance sheet to companies house.

It frankly amazes me to see posts such as this.
I wouldn’t even dream of attempting to do company accounts, without at least some decent accounts software in place. And even then…

but this is accounts filing to companies house not tax filing to hmrc. My company is vat exempted because it not touches the threshold limit.

Me too. Having done it in the past for my limited company I know how complicated the online forms are.
Even with good accounting software it is not always obvious what to enter where. I do though have an accountant in the family who verifies I have done it right or points out what I have done wrong!

Companies house wants a balance sheet though.
Where on Amazon would they know your assets such as the value of your stock and how much money you have in the bank?
How do they know how much money you owe to trade suppliers?
All of this is needed for your company house return plus a lot more.

Surely over the prior year, you have been keeping accounts?

Find an accountant in the morning

As I said above you often file your corporation tax return the same time as your annual accounts to Company House and then you have to pay the corporation tax within 9 months of your year end.
Mostly the two are filed together as it easier but you don’t have to. You can file them seperately. You need to file your corporation tax return within 9 months of your year end and your company accounts to companies house within 12 months of your year end.
As long as you have been keeping your accounts up to date then it shouldn’t be too difficult to get all the required information. A professional should be able to do it relatively easily.

Assuming that it the companies account with CH which may make the corporation tax return overdue.

What accounting software are you using?
I use Xero with Link my books for reconciling my eBay and Amazon deposits, on top of that other e-commerce sales from my retail website and whether or not VAT applies (domestic and international), recommend getting an accountant for the purpose of filing accounts especially if your over the VAT threshold although I don’t know if you are but to be fair the LMB and Xero would make it easier to file ready accounts if you know what you’re doing, but I prefer a professional to do mine lol

It amazes me the amount of people that set up a limited company without any basic knowledge of what is required to do so or whether its even financially beneficial to do so.
I would be having a very long detailed conversation with an accountant before I even considered it.

My head wasn’t hurting when I got up this morning…but after reading this…it is now !!

This is beyond belief, absolutely beyond belief.
Unless the OP get’s this sorted quickly, he’s heading for a whole heap of trouble. He obviously needs to speak with an accountant today but being frank, a lot of accountants may look at this and want to stay away from it. It will be a ball ache for them to sort, and for that, they’ll want appropriate renumeration.
If it’s not sorted, it then causes problems for the authorities, who then need to start their process for striking off/issuing fines etc. Putting further pressure on government resources which they could well do without in these troubled times.
It’s about time the requirements for forming a limited company were tightened-far too many think that it’s the easy route when in reality it’s not.

I also hope that they would be aware of any impact on their own self-assessment tax return
