## From the administrators' statement

The Company commenced trading in November 2006 foliowing the acquisition of 121 bakery units from the administrators of Three Cooks Limited

Since acquisition the Company struggled to make a profit The high street was becoming more challenging and, despite a promising 2008, by 2009 the Company only managed to break even

The Company embarked on a store disposal program to raise funds to continue trading whilst also cutting costs However it suffered from continuing cashflow pressures brought on by constant strong competition on the High Street
