SUMMARY
This company is 32.5 years old and is currently active. It is controlled by Dic Corporation. The company has positive equity (net assets) of GBP 20.1 million which has increased from GBP 18.4 million in the previous year. The latest reported revenue figure is GBP 164.5 million which is similar to the previous year's figure of GBP 169.6 million. Retained earnings is negative (GBP -305.5 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 4 active officers (directors or partners) who are or were officers of 9 other companies, 1 (11.1%) 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 no court cases involving the company that we are aware of.FINANCIALS (BETA)
