## From the administrators' statement

The Company was introduced to Armstrong Watson by Mazars LLP Chartered Accountants In order to discuss the options available to it. In this case, the Joint Administrators considered a pre-packaged sale to be necessary because it enabled the Company to trade for a very short period in order to secure the pre packaged sale and enable the jobs of the employees to be saved across all of the Company’s stores. It was also unlikely that a Company Voluntary Arrangement would have been approved by creditors as a payment plan that was already in place with HM Revenue & Customs had been reneged on.

I can confirm that Armstrong Watson were formally engaged by the Company on 9 September 2014. |
