SUMMARY
This company is 10.4 years old and is currently active. It is controlled by First Rail Holdings Limited. The company has negative equity (net assets) of GBP -95.4 million which has worsened since the previous year's figure of GBP -94.4 million. The latest reported revenue figure is GBP 268.6 million which is similar to the previous year's figure of GBP 258.6 million. The company is both loss making and has negative equity, it is therefore likely to go bankrupt unless it can raise funding or business has improved since the last accounts were filed. Retained earnings is negative (GBP -95.4 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 58 other companies, 21 (36.2%) 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 2 court cases involving the company that we are aware of.FINANCIALS (BETA)
