## From the administrators' statement

NCP, the sole tenant of the Group’s properties, concluded a comprehensive restructuring in April 2012 and as a result the Group was impacted by a reduction tn tts annual rental income (down from circa £46m pa to circa £41m pa) Given the high level of debt and interest burden, this reduction in revenue placed a strain on the Group’s liquidity In addition, the Group had historic tax liabilities owed to HM Revenue & Customs of circa £14 4m for which a Time to Pay arrangement had previously been agreed

In May 2012 the Group was forecast to run out of cash by the end of August 2012 absent an injection of additional funds and following identification of this need, the Group had been in negotiations with its Secured Creditors to seek to agree a consensual restructuring However, the various stakeholders were unable to agree the level of additional funds and priority required for the Group to continue
