## From the administrators' statement

Relevant extracts from the company’s financial statements and management accounts are summarised below:

As mentioned previously, the lack of a finance team has meant that the latest available management accounts for the Company are dated 31 May 2022. Prior to our appointment, an interim finance team were in place and working to bring the management information up to date to December 2022. However, following our appointment, it was not considered cost effective to continue this task noting the management information would not provide any additional value to the Company, as confirmed by agents appointed as set out later in this report.
