## From the administrators' statement

Prime Endeavour Ltd was formed in 2012 to purchase STS Motors Ltd and STS Switchgear Ltd from Key Technologies PLC +The Company was incorporated in 1995 to manufacture electric motors

Following acquisition, the Company was financed by a factoring agreement with Positive Cash Flow secured by a debenture of both companies In addition, the purchase of the Company from Key Technologies PLC had been undertaken on a deferred basis over 4 years, and this was secured by a debenture and chattel mortgage over each of the companies

In order to assist with cash flow, in March 2015, STS Switchgear Ltd negotiated the receipt of approximately £131k for retentions not due unti April 2017 and again in July 2015, STS Switchgear Ltd received £178k after negotiating with another customer for retentions not due until April 2017 These eased immediate cash flow pressures on the group However, the Company had been carrying the burden of a debt owed by EDF for almost two years, of approximately £77k, which had an impact on tts financial position
