SUMMARY
This company is 57.4 years old and is currently active. It is controlled by Times Newspapers Holdings Limited. The company has negative equity (net assets) of GBP -496.3 million but has improved from GBP -500 million in the previous year. The latest reported revenue figure is GBP 330.3 million which is similar to the previous year's figure of GBP 326.4 million. Retained earnings is negative (GBP -497.3 million), which means the company has aggregate losses since it's inception or it has paid more dividends than it can afford; given the company's age, this is a sign of serious financial problems. The company has 5 active officers (directors or partners) who are or were officers of 147 other companies, 50 (34.0%) of which have since been dissolved or are proposed for strike off. The company has no public disputes filed on the Business Disputes Register. There are 56 court cases involving the company that we are aware of.FINANCIALS (BETA)
