    Why we’ve sent you this report I’m writing to update you on the progress of the liquidation of the Company in the 12 months since 21 April 2018.

    How much creditors may receive The following table summarises the possible outcome for creditors*, based on what we currently know.

    Class of creditor

    Current estimate

    (p in £)

    Secured creditors N/A

    Preferential creditors N/A

    Unsecured creditors Nil

    *Please note this guidance on dividends is only an indication and should not be used as the main basis of any bad debt provision or debt

    trading.

    There are no secured or preferential creditors of the Company.

    We attach at Appendix G a general website notice, informing creditors that we will not write to individual creditors with general updates and information, but will post these on a website at www.pwc.co.uk/APVC. Creditors can request to continue to receive paper copies of such reports following the procedure set out in the notice.

    What you need to do If you haven’t already done so, please send your claim to us so that the liquidotors can agree it. A claim form can be obtained by telephoning Chris Sykes on 0113 289 4083.

    We may decide that some or all creditors who are owed £1,000 or less by the Company won’t be required to submit a proof of debt in order to receive a dividend payment.

    A creditor who we decide is not required to submit a proof of debt will be notified when we deliver notice of our intention to pay a dividend of the amount we’ll treat as their admitted debt for the purpose of the dividend, unless the creditor advises us that the amount is incorrect (in which case a proof of debt will be required) or not owed.

    Please note that should you wish to vote in relation to any decision procedure during the liquidation (which is unlikely to occur) or object to a decision sought by deemed consent, you’ll need to submit a proof of debt, even if one is not required for dividend purposes.

    Opt out rights and general website notice We are required to inform you about your right to opt out of receiving further documents relating to these proceedings. Appendix [F] contains further details on this right and how you may elect to opt out.

    This is our first progress report to members and all classed of creditors.

    We summarise below the Company’s background and reasons for its insolvency:

    the Company had been incorporated as a holding company for a subsidiary named Purple Pulp Inc;

    Purple Pulp Inc was incorporated in Texas, USA, to produce moulded fibre packaging in the USA;

    equity investment in the Company was provided to Purple Pulp Inc by the Company and secured by a lien over certain assets. The finance was used to acquire two moulded fibre production lines located in Lubbock, Texas, USA;

    before the USA production lines were fully operational, the Company ran out of funding and was unable to raise further capital to complete the project; and

    The Company’s members resolved to put the Company into liquidation and we were confirmed as liquidators at a creditors meeting held 21 April 2017.

    After an initial review, we decided the most appropriate strategy was to try to realise the Company’s interest in assets of Purple Pulp Inc. We remain in office to realise these assets. The majority of the value of the assets subject to the Company’s lien are located in the USA. There are complications in realising these assets given their legal ownership by Purple Pulp Inc. (which we are not appointed over) and the remoteness of the assets and the different jurisdictional laws applying. There is also certain tooling located in the UK, which may prove easier to realise, albeit subject to competing claims.

    Overview of what we’ve done to date

  • 5

    Outcome for creditors

    Secured creditors

    The Company has no secured creditors.

    Preferential creditors

    The Company had no employees at the date of appointment and we therefore do not believe there are any preferential creditors.

    Unsecured creditors

    Dividends become available for unsecured creditors when there are sufficient funds (after costs of the liquidation) to pay the secured and preferential creditors in full, with an amount left over, which as noted above, is not relevant in this instance In certain circumstances, part of the amount available for secured creditors may be ring-fenced for the benefit of unsecured creditors. This prescribed part is paid out of ‘net property’, which 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. In this case the prescribed part doesn’t apply because there is no floating charge registered against the Company. Based on what we know currently, we expect that the costs for the liquidation could exceed realisations. Accordingly, we do not think that there will be any funds available for distribution to unsecured creditors.

    Realisation of assets

    USA registered Lien over Purple Pulp Inc. Included within the directors’ statement of affairs were ‘stocks’ with a book value of £270,810 and a realisable value of £62,672. Following our appointment we investigated this asset class and determined that it related to funds advanced to Purple Pulp Inc. The funds advanced were secured by way of a formal lien registered in the USA on 22 October 2016, with security registered over the Charged Machinery. We understand that Purple Pulp Inc is no longer trading and has no other substantial assets other than the Charged Machinery, which we are advised was located in a premises in Lubbock, Texas. At the appointment date, the Company had no funds available to enable us to inspect, uplift or secure the Charged Machinery and we are unaware of its current condition. Following appointment, therefore, Mr Andy Hubbard, a director of the Company engaged US agents, Loeb to carry out a desktop valuation of the Charged Machinery. The accuracy and independence of this valuation was questioned by the Committee however, as no funds exist to pay for an alternative valuation, this is the only one available. On 26 July 2017, a meeting of the Committee considered an offer from a third party for the Charged Machinery. We advised the Committee that the offer should be accepted as it was close in value to the Loeb valuation, and due to an absence of any other offers. The Committee asked that no offers be accepted for a further period of one month to allow time for Committee members to explore alternative interest. Following this extended period, the existing offer was withdrawn, with no further alternative interest received for the Charged Machinery. We are continuing to explore offers for these assets and will provide a further update in our next report. UK based Tooling Following our appointment, we became aware that elements of the Charged Machinery, specifically specialist tooling, was held by its original manufacturer in the UK. The manufacturer is an unsecured creditor of the Company and has claimed a common law lien over the tooling in respect of its unpaid costs. We have contested the validity of this lien and a further update on this matter will be provided in our next report. Cash at bank At the date of appointment, the Company held £232 cash at bank which has been recovered into the liquidation estate. We do not believe there will be any further realisations from this source. Other assets The Company owns the share capital of Purple Pulp Inc. We do not believe these shares have any realisable value for the liquidation estate.

    Connected party transactions During the administration, a former director of the Company and member of the Committee, Mr Andrew Hubbard, expressed an interest in purchasing all assets of the Company, including the registered lien over assets of Purple Pulp Inc.

    No formal offers have been received from Mr Hubbard, however should a transaction be concluded, we will provide full disclosure to all creditors in accordance with “Statement of Insolvency Practice 13 – Disposals of Assets to Connected Parties in an Insolvency”.

    Other issues Investigations in potential claims against directors At the creditors meeting held 21 April 2017, concerns were raised by both directors and members that one or more directors may have breached the provisions of the Companies Act 2006. The Liquidators were asked to investigate if these actions could lead to claims being pursued in order to generate realisations for creditors.

    The concerns relating to the issue of new shares, appointing a director and for breach of contract. The Liquidators sought legal advice on these matters which concluded that although a number of procedural breaches had occurred, it was unlikely that restitution could be sought from directors as injured parties were unlikely to be able to demonstrate a loss had directly resulted from these actions. No further action will be taken on these matters.

    Liquidation’ committee On 2 May 2017, creditors decided to form a Committee consisting of the following:

    1. Mr Ewout Mante, representing himself. 2. Mr Andrew Hubbard, representing himself. 3. Mr Ian Ansell, representing himself. 4. Mr Murray Fuller, representing himself. 5. Mr Adam Mitchell of BM Advisory – representing Alexander & Inèke Mante.

    We’re continuing to speak with the Committee to discuss issues and outline key decisions. We last formally reported to the liquidation committee on 26 July 2017.

    It is also for the Committee to set out the basis of the Liquidators’ fees and category 2 disbursements, we will be formally requesting the agreement of the Committee within the next 3 months.

    Investigations and actions We have reviewed the Company’s affairs and taken into account any points raised by creditors in discharging our duties under the Company Directors’ Disqualification Act 1986 and Statement of Insolvency Practice No.2. At this time, nothing has come to our attention to suggest that we need to do any more work in line with our duties.

    Our receipts and payments account We set out in Appendix A an account of our receipts and payments in the liquidation from 21 April 2017 to 20 April 2018.

    Our expenses We set out in Appendix B a statement of the expenses we’ve incurred to the date covered by this report and an estimate of our future expenses.

  • 8

    The statement excludes any potential tax liabilities that we may need to pay as a liquidation expense in due course because amounts due will depend on the position at the end of the tax accounting period.

    Our fees We set out in Appendix C, an update on our fees, disbursements and other related matters.

    Prior to seeking the agreement of the Committee to the basis of our fees, we will publish on the website at www.pwc.co.uk/APVC a remuneration report, setting out the proposed basis together with a summary of the work we have or expect to have to undertake.

    Creditors’ rights Creditors have the right to ask for more information within 21 days of receiving this report as set out in Rule 18.9 IR16. Any request must be in writing. Creditors can also challenge our fees and expenses within eight weeks of receiving this report as set out in Rule 18.34 IR16. This information can also be found in the guide to fees at:

    file:///C:/Users/928843/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/IE/GYSHS3HT/Liquidations%20creditor%20fee%20guide%206%20April%202017.pdf

    You can also get a copy free of charge by telephoning Chris Sykes on 0113 289 4083.

    What we still need to do We still need to realise the Company’s interest in the Charged Machinery, including the tooling. We also need to circulate a remuneration report to creditors and agree the basis of our fees with the Committee.

    Once these matters have been concluded, we will distribute any funds available to the unsecured creditors (if any) and take steps to bring the liquidation to a close.

    Next report We expect to send our next report to creditors at the end of the liquidation or in about 12 months, whichever is the sooner. The report will be posted to the website by 20 June 2019.

    If you’ve got any questions, please get in touch with Chris Sykes, on 0113 289 4083.

    Yours faithfully

    Our hours and average rates

    Our time charging policy and hourly rates We and our team charge our time for the work we need to do in the liquidation. We delegate tasks to suitable grades of staff, taking into account their experience and any specialist knowledge that is needed and we supervise them properly to maximise the cost effectiveness of the work done. Anything complex or important matters of exceptional responsibility are handled by our senior staff or us.

    All of our staff who work on the liquidation (including our cashiers, support and secretarial staff) charge time directly to the case and are included in any analysis of time charged. Each grade of staff has an hourly charge out rate which is reviewed from time to time.

Time is charged in three minute units (i.e. 0.05 units). We don’t charge general or overhead costs.

    We set out below the maximum charge-out rates per hour for the grades of our staff who already or who are likely to work on the liquidation.

    Disbursements We don’t need to get approval to draw expenses or disbursements unless they are for shared or allocated services provided by our own firm, including room hire, document storage, photocopying, communication facilities. These types of expenses are called “Category 2” disbursements and they must be directly incurred on the case, subject to a reasonable method of calculation and allocation and approved by the same party who approves our fees.

    Our expenses policy allows for all properly incurred expenses to be recharged to the liquidation but has not yet been approved by the liquidation committee.

    The following disbursements arose in the period of this report.

    (a) the Insolvency Act 1986 requires a document to be delivered to all creditors without expressly

    excluding opted-out creditors;

    (b) it is a notice relating to a change in the office-holder or the office-holder’s contact details, or;

    (c) it is a notice of a dividend or proposed dividend or a notice which the court orders to be sent

    to all creditors or all creditors of a particular category to which the creditor belongs.

    Any election to opt out will not affect a creditor’s entitlement to receive dividends, should any be paid to creditors. Similarly, unless IR16 provide to the contrary, opting-out will not affect any right the creditor may have to vote in a decision procedure or participate in a deemed consent procedure in these proceedings, although the creditor will not receive notice of it.

    If a creditor opts out, they will be treated as having opted out in respect of any consecutive insolvency proceedings of a different kind in respect of the same company.

    A creditor can opt out at any time by delivering written notice to the office holder at the postal address noted in the covering correspondence or by e-mail to: [email protected]. The notice must be authenticated in accordance with rule 1.5 IR16 and dated by the creditor. A creditor will be treated as an opted-out creditor as soon as reasonably practicable after delivery of the creditor’s election to opt out.

    An election to opt out can be revoked at any time by delivering a further notice to the office-holder in writing, authenticated and dated by the creditor. A creditor ceases to be an opted-out creditor from the date the notice is received by the office holder.

    Should you have any questions on this process, please use the contact details in the covering correspondence.
