HMRC, which stated it was owed money by the company, had reportedly presented a winding up petition which was due to be heard on 14 December. The joint administrators have said a preferred bidder has been found and a sale could be completed before Christmas. Fse Meif LP and Autarky Ventures Limited each has a registered charge against the company.
