SUMMARY

This company is 26 years old and is currently active. The company has positive equity (net assets) of GBP 991.7 million which has increased from GBP 0 in the previous year. The latest reported revenue figure is GBP 773 thousand which is down -40% on the previous year. Retained earnings is negative (GBP -1.7 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 6 active officers (directors or partners) who are or were officers of 85 other companies, 20 (23.5%) 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.
