Accompanying the letter was what Dr Lese described as Exhibit 1 – a list of three options detailing how the business could go forward. One was an immediate shut down costing about £1 million to carry out; another was a more gradual closure that would include paying off its debts. This second option discloses what appear to be the debts incurred as of June 8. It includes £251,042 owed to HM Revenue & Customs, which the taxman is now unlikely ever to recover; £183,573 owed to staff and locums; legal fees totalling more than half a million pounds and rent to Sainsbury’s of £41,838. Business loans total £1.6 million.
