Trading
We are currently assessing the financial position of the Companies with a view to developing a plan for
the future of the Companies. We are seeking to continue trading on a business as usual basis. The
business will also be advertised for sale in the coming days.
We would like you to continue to support the business. Any goods or services we request you to provide,
in accordance with the steps outlined below, will be paid for on normal terms. The Receivers and
Managers are personally liable for debts incurred following their appointment and all duly authorised
amounts will be paid.
We request your assistance in implementing the steps outlined below:
1.

Close your accounts with the Companies in respect of goods supplied and/or services rendered up to
11 August 2010.

2.

Open a new account in respect of the Companies (including the suffix (Receivers and Managers
Appointed) (Administrator Appointed)) for all goods supplied and services rendered to the
Companies at our request.

3.

Suppliers new accounts will be paid in accordance with your usual trading terms. Orders for such
supplies must be made on the official order form of the Companies and authorised by the Receivers
and Managers or our authorised representatives. Specimen signatures are attached to this circular.

If any orders were placed with you by the Companies prior to our appointment and have not yet been
completed, these orders should not be completed until a new order form (in accordance with the above
authorisation procedures) is received confirming the goods and/or services are still required by the
Receivers and Managers.
I expressly advise that we have not adopted any contracts or liabilities of the Companies in existence as at
the date of appointment unless we have formally notified you in writing that we have adopted a specific
contract or liability. Payment for use of any goods or services is not an adoption of a contract or liability.
