Thank you for your recent letter.

We are enclosing a list showing the net amounts paid to or received from HM Customs & Excise during the period 1st June 1998 (VAT registration date) to 30th April 2001 (date of de-registration).

From our Working Papers we are able to supply you with the salary paid to employee, M H Pathan, as follows, April to October 1998—£***, November to March 1999—£***. PAYE and NI was, of course, paid to the Inland Revenue by the due dates.

We confirm that from our Working Papers payments made to the Directors were as follows: —

Year ended      Olga Fernandes

31.10.1998      Company Secretary  £***

Year ended      Mrs M V Vaz

30.10.1999      Director/Company Secretary  £***

We confirm that our Working Papers do not show any payment or work carried out by the Company for the Asian Business Network.

We confirm that our Working Papers do not show any payments to "Wildberry" printers.

From our Working Papers we are unable to identify any monies received for individual events or activities organised by the Company.

In early July, we were informed by Companies House that an objection had been lodged to the winding up of the Company, which was subsequently confirmed as being by the Inland Revenue, following their normal practice. The Company Secretary was notified of this on 10th July 2001.
