## From the administrators' statement

The company was incorporated on 26 May 1998. The Company operated from the head office in Dundonald and operated 47 trading stores, which were held on leases. The stores were located in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The Company’s principal activity was as a high street retailer of clothing and accessories. The Company also operated an online business with ware house facilities at Dundonald.

In late 2011 the Company was advised that the Bank of Scotland would not be renewing its existing Banking facilities when they were due to expire on 31 December 2011. The Directors actively sought to arrange new banking facilities and investors. In addition, the Directors had a number of discussions with interested parties. After a period of diligence, the main interested party concluded that it did not want to proceed with investment.
