1. Introduction
1.1. Why we’re sending you this report
This is our second annual report, and draft final report, to members and creditors. It will help if you read this
alongside our previous progress reports which can be found at www.pwc.co.uk/melloy.
This report provides a summary of the steps taken during the second year of the liquidation and the period to
closure.
In Section 2 we provide more detailed information on what we’ve been doing during the periods covered by this
report and in Section 3 we provide a summary as to what the outcome for creditors was.
By law, we have to give you certain statutory information. This is included in Appendix A.
We’ve also included notice of the final meeting of members and creditors to be held on 13 January 2017 at
Appendix F
1.2. Appointment of Administrators
On 16 April 2013 Roger Hale and Rob Lewis were appointed Joint Administrators of the Company. The

Roger Hale and Rob Lewis were appointed as Joint Liquidators.

2. Progress made during the period
2.1. Assets realisations
Most assets were realised in the former administration, with the only assets being realised in the liquidation
being an insurance refund and the receipt of bank interest.
In the period from 18 September 2015 to 17 September 2016 bank interest of £43.54 was received.
There were no receipts in the final period from 18 September 2016 to 13 January 2017.
2.2. Statutory and compliance
The majority of the statutory tasks required by the Liquidators were completed in the prior period, and that
included the obtaining of clearance from HMRC that the tax obligations of the Company had been concluded.
In the period to 17 September 2016 we have submitted the final VAT refund to finalise the VAT position of the
Company.
The final filings at Companies House will be sent following the holding of the final meetings, after which the
Company will be dissolved.
2.3. Distribution to unsecured creditors
In the period to 17 September 2016 we have concentrated on facilitating the distribution to unsecured creditors.
This culminated in the payment of the first and final dividend to unsecured creditors of 3.46 pence in the £ on
27 July 2016.
As creditors are aware, due to the submission of a large and complex claim we had to delay the declaration of
the dividend by six months in order to able to adequately adjudicate the claim in question. After numerous
discussions, this claim was eventually reduced by £105,000, which ensured each creditor received an uplift on
their distribution of 0.3 pence.
We have since remained in office to allow creditors to cash their unsecured dividend cheques.

3. Outcome for creditors
3.1. Secured creditors
As at the date of insolvency, the Company had three secured creditors: HSBC, HSBCIF and FW
HSBC’s lending to the Company as at the date of the prior administration was £518,481 and was secured by a
debenture dated 23 March 2005. This security gave HSBC fixed and floating charges over all the Company’s
assets. From the proceeds of the sale of the leasehold property, HSBC received £425,665, with the remaining
balance and accrued interest satisfied with further distributions totalling £115,769 from floating charge
realisations.
In addition, HSBIF had an invoice factoring agreement with the Company and was due £360,972 at the date of
the prior administration. HSBCIF recovered the amount due in full under its factoring agreement directly from
customers.
Finally, FW held a fixed charge over a specific asset of the Company secured by a charge dated 9 September
2004, as well as a debenture dated 14 March 2011 to cover any shortfall. FW’s lending to the Company as at the
date of the prior administration was £68,937, of which £29,475 was repaid from the net proceeds of the secured
asset in the administration. In the liquidation, the remaining shortfall of £39,462 was distributed to FW.
In summary, all secured creditors have been repaid in full.
3.2. Preferential creditors (mainly employees)
As previously reported, we paid preferential creditors in full in the former administration, distributing a total of
£17,026.
3.3. Unsecured creditors
The prescribed part is a fund that has to be made available for unsecured creditors. It’s paid out of “net
property”. Net property is floating charge realisations after costs, and after paying - or setting aside enough to
pay - preferential creditors in full. But it only has to be made available where the floating charge was created on
or after 15 September 2003.
The prescribed part applies in this case as there is a floating charge created after 15 September 2003.
The amount of the prescribed part is:
– 50% of net property up to £10,000;
– 20% of net property above £10,000; and
– Subject to a maximum of £600,000.
The Company’s net property was £256,148 which means the value of the prescribed part was £54,230. From
this, after costs, we paid a first and final dividend of 3.46 pence in the £ from the prescribed part on 27 July
2016.
There won’t be any other dividend for unsecured creditors.

4. Liquidators’ fees and other financial
information
4.1. Our fees
During the administration, the secured and preferential creditors passed a resolution fixing the Administrators’
fees by reference to time properly given by the Administrators and their staff in dealing with the administration.
The fee basis agreed in the administration continues to apply in the liquidation. This means that our fees as
Liquidators were calculated by reference to time.
From 18 September 2015 to 17 September 2016 we incurred time costs of £41,875 for 175 hours work, which
works out at an average hourly rate of £238.94. The average hourly rate in our last progress report was £226.60
From 18 September 2016 to 23 October 2016 we have incurred time costs of £3,108 for 14 hours work, which
works out at an average hourly rate of £215.82.
We include details of the above time costs incurred, by work type, at Appendix D.
Total time costs incurred in the liquidation from appointment to 23 October are £86,514. Of this, we have
drawn fees of £28,585. We will not draw any further remuneration.
Further details of our fees are included in Appendix D, together with details of work that we would normally do
but has been subcontracted in the period.
4.2. Our disbursements
We’ve incurred disbursements of £417.71 during the period from 18 September 2015 to 17 September 2016.
No disbursements have been incurred during the period from 18 September 2016 to 23 October 2016.
We’ve not drawn any disbursements in the period.
Further details on our disbursements are provided in Appendix D.

5. Final meetings of members and
creditors The work we need to do has now finished and we’re required to hold final meetings of members and creditors. Attached to this report is a notice of these meetings and a proxy form. The purpose of the meetings is to present this report and for the creditors to consider our release. No formal resolutions will be considered but creditors may propose a resolution against our release. If there is no such resolution, we’ll automatically be released from liability in respect of our actions undertaken as liquidators. If you require further explanation of any aspects of this report, but don’t wish to attend the meeting, please telephone or write to Lee Panther. If you wish to attend the meeting, please telephone Lee Panther so that arrangements can be made. We must have regard to the convenience of creditors when convening any general meeting. From experience, creditors don’t often attend such meetings and so this meeting is being convened at the offices of PwC, Central Square, 29 Wellington Street, Leeds, LS1 4DL in order to reduce costs. If you wish to attend the meeting but think the venue is inconvenient, it can be reconvened at an agreed venue if you contact us within the next 7 days. This is to ensure all other creditors can be told about the revised arrangements. If you want to propose a resolution against our release the following paragraphs will apply: Individual creditors (i.e. not limited companies): You can vote by simply attending the meeting, provided a proof of debt has been lodged at the address stated in the notice of the meeting before 12.00 noon on the working day before the meeting. If you don’t attend the meeting you may complete a proxy form to nominate:
someone else to attend and vote for you; or
the chair to vote on your behalf. The proxy form needs to be signed by you. Limited companies: A company is not physically able to attend meetings, so it must appoint someone to attend on its behalf by:
completing and returning a proxy form (even if you’re a director); or
producing at the meeting a sealed or certified copy of a board resolution authorising you to represent that company at the meeting.
A company can also complete and return a proxy form to nominate:
someone else to attend and vote as its representative; or
the chair to vote as its representative. The proxy form needs to be signed by someone authorised to sign on behalf of that company and the nature of that person's authority should be stated. A proof of debt also needs to be lodged at the address stated in the notice of the meeting before 12.00 noon on the working day before the meeting. Important information if you are submitting a proxy: A proxy holder can vote either on your instruction or at their discretion as indicated on the completed proxy form. The proxy form must be lodged at the address stated in the notice of the meeting before 12.00 noon on the working day before the meeting.

Appendix D. - Details of our
remuneration and disbursements and
other professional costs
Background
This section sets out the process that was established for setting and monitoring the Liquidators’ remuneration.
The basis of our fees and certain disbursements was agreed in the prior administration by the secured and
preferential creditors and have transferred across to the liquidation in accordance with the Rules.
The basis of our fees is by reference to time properly given. Details of the amount we have drawn can be found
in Section 4.
Liquidators’ charging policy
The time charged to the liquidation is by reference to the time properly given by our staff and us in attending to
matters arising.
It is our policy to delegate tasks in the liquidation to appropriate members of staff, considering their level of
experience and any requisite specialist knowledge needed and they are supervised accordingly to maximise the
cost effectiveness of the work performed.
Our junior people have done the routine work in the liquidation to keep the costs down. But we and our senior
staff have supervised them and we have dealt with any complex or significant matters ourselves.
Matters of particular complexity or significance requiring more exceptional responsibility are undertaken by
senior staff or the Liquidators themselves.
Details of subcontracted work
We’ve not sub-contracted any work in the periods.
