   2.2    The following material transactions have been entered into within the last 12 months: The company sold
          its assets, namely fixtures and fittings, to an independent party who took over the lease on the company's
          former premises. The value of said assets was listed as £19,390 in the company management accounts
          to August 2022. This transaction will be reviewed by the liquidator following his appointment.

          Trading history

   3.1    The following information and explanations have been provided by the directors of the Company. The
          Firm wishes creditors to note that no inquiries have been made as to whether there are any inaccuracies:
    3.2   The Company was incorporated on 24th March 2022 and commenced               trading on 9 April 2022. The
          original trading address was Artyard Café, The Drive, Enstone, Chipping     Norton, OX7 4NF, which was
          leased for £3,560 per month for the initial period of 7 years. The Company traded as a café/restaurant
          and pub providing food, drinks and entertainment.
   3.3    The Company was initially capitalised by the shareholders providing loans of £25,000 each from personal
          savings.
   3.4    In July 2022 the Company began experiencing difficulties due to a combination of raising inflation, not
          welcoming local community and sudden change in circumstances of directors’ personal life as we found
          out we were expecting a baby. All bills were increasing, staff was asking for raises in pay, and the loan
          money was running short. The company was not making any money, directors were not able to pay their
          own wages, and the market was promising further price increases.
   3.5    The company was trying to raise the menu prices but was welcomed with bad response and fewer
          customers. We cut the cost of everything that was not necessary, including cutting off part-time staff
          and were reaching deep into our pockets to keep the company afloat.
   3.6    The company then reached out for advice from the Landlord who suggested to look for someone to
          replace the business on the lease. Shortly after we found someone who was ready to take over the
          premises. Then, in August 2022, the Company reached out for advice to F A Simms & Partners and
          accountant Fairmile Accounting. The Company was advised to not enter into Voluntary Liquidation if
          there is a chance to close all accounts with the creditors and cease trading according to the handover
          schedule.

Mary Chacta
  3.7   During the handover in September 2022 the Company started to face more difficulties as service
        providers were not willing to take mitigating circumstances into account. Directors’ mental health
        decreased and the decision was made to Voluntary Liquidate the company as despite best efforts we
        were unable to find assets to accommodate all creditors as we prioritised paying last payroll to staff.
  3.8   During those few months of trading directors often did not proceed the payslips for their work and
        topped up business account with personal money to accommodate the business outgoings.

  3.9   Directors sought advice concerning the current position and possible future of the Company and was
        advised of the options available. On 31 October 2022 the director decided to place the Company into
        liquidation. The Company ceased trading on 24 September 2022.

        Reasons for failure

  4.1   The directors consider that the reasons why the Company failed are:
        4.1.1    Raising inflation
        4.1.2    Not welcoming local community
        4.1.3.   Changes to directors’ personal circumstances

   5     NOTES TO THE STATEMENT              OF AFFAIRS

   The estimated statement of affairs is subject to the following notes. The statement of affairs does not include
   any amounts for the costs of realisation, or the costs and expenses of the winding-up.



         1      Preferential creditors - ordinary
         The estimated amount for this class of preferential claims is based upon information extracted from the
         Company records and the legal authority for defining this class of creditor.

         The amount of £346.12 listed represents funds owed to Nest Pensions for unpaid pension contributions.

         Funds totalling £2,206.08 are believed to the owed       to the former employees     of the company     and
         represent unpaid wages and holiday pay.

         2      Preferential creditors - secondary
         The estimated amount for this class of preferential claims is based upon information extracted from the
         Company records and the legal authority for defining this class of creditor.

         The amount listed represents funds owed to H M Revenue & Customs for unpaid VAT of £3,174.51 and
         PAYE of £953.21.

         3      Non-preferential creditors
         Inclusion or omission of an amount due to a creditor should not be taken as admission or rejection of a
         creditor's claim. All claims from creditors will be adjudicated on should a dividend become payable.

         Trade & Expense creditors

         It is believed that the Company has 11 Trade and expense creditors with the overall outstanding amount
         totalling £6,195.21.

         Employees


         The figure listed represents funds owed to the former employees of the company and relates to unpaid
         pay in lieu of notice.

         Directors

         It is believed that funds totalling £22,520.31 and £8,436.00 are outstanding to the directors, Mary Chacia
         and Jay Harper respectively in respect of their directors’ loan accounts. These accounts will be reconciled
         should a dividend become payable to the unsecured creditors.

         Loan


         The company obtained a loan from Nationwide Finance which has been secured on a third-party
         property. The loan has a current balance of approximately £44,128. Please note that the directors of the
         company have advised that they will personally continue making repayments of the said loan.
