    Looking through the filings it looked like a total dud in 1995. Looks like it's been dormant since c.2000.

    You could try to contact the people and/or the company mentioned in the most recent dormant accounts - Pellagia (UK) - but I'm guessing the real question is whether they're worth anything and the answer is probably not.
