3. Outcomefor creditors
3.1. Secured creditors
At the date of the administration, the Bank was owed £13.7 million secured by fixed and floating charges overthe Company and PR2. When the vehicle and debtor collection process completed in the administration, thelevel of recoveries were much higher than anticipated. This, together with the recoveries from PR2, meant thatthe Bank was able to recover its lending in hill. In addition, surplus hinds of £1.3 million were transferred toPR2 during the administration.
3.2. Preferential creditors (mainly employees)
Although the transfer of the business to the AA included a transfer of employment of all employees, a number ofEmployment Tribunal claims were made against the Company. However, the awards made to those employeesranked as tinsecured claims in the liquidation.
Consequently the Company has no preferential creditors.
3.3. Unsecured creditors
The prescribed part is a hind that has to be made available for unsecured creditors. It’s paid out of “netproperty”. Net property is floating charge realisations after costs, and after paying - or setting aside enough topay - preferential creditors in hill. But it only has to be made available where the floating charge was created onor after 15 September 2003.
The prescribed part applied in this case as there was a floating charge created after 15 September 2003.
The amount of the prescribed part is:— 50% of net property tip to £10,000;— 20% of net property above £10,000; and— Subject to a maximum of £6oo,000.
The Company’s net property totalled £75,618.99 and the Prescribed Part was calculated at £18,123.80.However, as the secured creditors had been paid in hill, from PR2, there were surplus assets to distribute tounsecured creditors in addition to the Prescribed Part. On 14 July 2016 we declared a first and final dividend of1.44p in the £ to the unsecured creditors of the Company.
A summary of the position regarding the unsecured creditor claims is as follows:
Descrpn Number of claims — Value of claims ()Claims agreed 285 5,240,798.81
Claims rejected (in whole or in part) 4 820,422.60
No further dividends will be paid to the unsecured creditors of the Company.

The average hourlyrate in our last progress report was £236.73.
