SUMMARY
This company is 31.2 years old and is currently active. The company has negative equity (net assets) of GBP -271.6 thousand but has improved from GBP -281.7 thousand in the previous year. The latest reported revenue figure is GBP 1.2 million which is similar to the previous year's figure of GBP 1.2 million. Retained earnings is negative (GBP -271.5 thousand), 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 23 other companies, 4 (17.4%) 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)
