## From the administrators' statement

3.1 Prior to entering Administration, the Company sought to agree a Time to Pay arrangement with HMRC in respect of a significant liability. Whilst the Company believed an agreement was in place, steps were taken by HMRC to issue a winding up petition.

3.2 The directors sought advice on the Company’s financial position, initially from Westgates Restructuring Ltd, whereby a prepack Administration was being considered, and subsequently from Parker Andrews due to internal director issues.

3.3 Given the financial position of the Company, and the threat of a petition, the directors considered the best course of action was to place the Company into Administration.
