I write, in accordance with Rule 2.47 of the Insolvency Rules 1986, to provide the Court with a report on the progress of the Administrations. This report covers the period from 28 October 2012 to 28 January 2013 and should be read in conjunction with the Joint Administrators’ previous reports dated 12 December 2011, 25 May 2012 and 26 November 2012.

On 27 October 2011 Luminar Group Holdings plc (“Plc”) entered Administration and on 28 October 2011 Luminar Finance Limited (“Finance”), Luminar Leisure Limited (“Leisure”), Luminar Liquid Limited (“Liquid”), Luminar Gems Limited (“Gems”), Luminar Oceana Limited (“Oceana”) and Luminar Lava Ignite Limited (“Lava Ignite”) entered Administration.

The Administrations are scheduled to expire on 26 April 2013 (Plc) and 27 April 2013 (remaining companies), following the six month extensions granted by the secured and preferential creditors under paragraph 76(2)(b) to the Insolvency Act 1986.

2.112 of the Insolvency Rules 1986 we intend to register an application to the Court for a further extension of the Administrations for an additional twelve months.

An extension of the Administrations is beneficial to the creditors of the Group for the following reasons:

• To mitigate the risk of loss of the remaining contingent consideration of £1,198,250 from the sale of the business and assets.

• To complete the collection of remaining floating charge assets, including debtors and rates refunds.

• To finalise settlement of the 19 personal injury claims relating to the trading period and to arrange run-off cover in respect of any future claims.

• To finalise the inter-company creditor position to enable calculation and distribution of the Prescribed Part.

The above outstanding issues are discussed in further detail in our report, below.

Reminder of background The Group was the largest nightclub operator in the United Kingdom, with an operating portfolio comprising 70 trading nightclubs together with 9 non-trading sites at the dates of appointment. The key operational companies in the Group, all of which are now in administration, are detailed below:

Primary trading entities

► Luminar Gems Limited Trading entity, operated 21 independent unbranded nightclubs nationally.

► Luminar Liquid Limited Trading entity, operated the Liquid and Envy brands from 27 nightclubs nationally.

► Luminar Oceana Ltd Trading entity, operated the Oceana brand from 13 nightclubs nationally, including two on a licence arrangement.

► Luminar Lava Ignite Ltd Trading entity, operated the Lava and Ignite brands, with 9 nightclubs nationally.

Other entities

► Luminar Finance Limited Borrowing entity within the Group.

► Luminar Group Holdings Plc Listed entity and ultimate holding company in the Group.

► Luminar Leisure Limited Purchasing, contracting and principle employing entity in the Group.

The Group had a complicated structure, consisting of an additional 59 companies outside of the Administration process. For further information, a simplified structure chart of the Group can be found at Appendix 1.

Summary of Progress Sale of business and assets

A sale of the business and assets was successfully completed on 9 December 2011 to Ranimul 2 Limited (“the Purchaser”) for a total consideration of up to £33.9m. As detailed below, c. £15.9m was paid on completion with the balance being due on both a deferred and contingent basis. Sale of business and assets consideration summary

EntityConsideration

Deferred consideration

£14.2m of the sale consideration was to be paid on a deferred basis, with £12m payable in two £6m tranches and £2.2m being payable in monthly instalments of c. £240,000 per month. These funds have been collected in full.

As detailed in our last report, deferred consideration was subject to interest charges, which rank as floating charge realisations in the Administrations. c. £670,000 was realised in this regard.

Contingent consideration

A further c. £3.7m of the sale consideration was contingent on the successful assignment of 46 leasehold premises to the Purchaser.

To date, 23 assignments have been agreed, which has crystallised c. £2.06m of the contingent consideration for the benefit of the creditors. A further 16 are still being negotiated. We are in regular dialogue with the Purchaser and understand that they are making good progress in their negotiations with the majority of the remaining Landlords.

The uncollectable consideration and provision of c. £1.063m relates to:

• 7 sites where it has not been possible for the Purchaser to obtain an assignment of the leases and 1 site where we have agreed a reduction in the consideration payable, accounting for contingent consideration of c. £440,650 which will definitely not be received ; and

• 7 sites which are proving problematic to assign, accounting for contingent consideration of c. £622,225. We have provided for this in full but realisations could increase by up to £622,225 in the event that assignments are achieved in relation to any of these problematic sites..

Following deduction of the potentially uncollectable provision of c. £1.063m, we anticipate additional realisations of £576,025 in respect of the contingent consideration

Under section 178(5) of the Insolvency Rules 1986, should the Group enter liquidation, the landlords of the unassigned premises have the right to serve 28 days notice on the Group to disclaim the leases. Any such notices would force an acceleration of the negotiations between the landlord and the Purchaser and may mean that there is not sufficient time for the leases to be assigned successfully. Ultimately, this could result in a loss of some or all of the potentially collectible remaining contingent consideration of £1,198,250.

Extension of the Administrations, therefore, will reduce the risk of loss in respect of the contingent consideration from the assignment of the remaining leases and is therefore of benefit to creditors.

Administrators Trading

To date, the Joint Administrators have generated a profit of c. £415,331 for the trading period ended 9 December 2011. This figure has increased by c. £2,000 from our last report to creditors following further debtor collections, offset by settlement of Administration trading commitments and rental payments. The trading outcome is summarised in further detail below.

EntityReceipt/Payment (£)

Trading receipts

To date, the Joint Administrators have realised c. £13.47m of receipts in relation to the trading period. c. £12.02m of these receipts were generated from trading sales, an increase of c. £22,000 since our last report following further debtor collections. In addition, the Joint Administrators have collected c. £142,000 in relation to rent, service charges and insurance from sub tenants.

c. £273,000 of debtor balances remain outstanding. These are discussed further on page 6 of this report.

As discussed in our last report, the sale of the business and assets included a consideration of c. £1.3m in respect of stock purchased during the Administration trading period.

Insurance

We continue to receive personal injury claims for the period prior to the appointments, which our insurance brokers, JLT, are managing on our behalf. These claims rank as non-preferential claims in the Administrations. We are currently aware of 123 personal injury claims that remain active totalling c. £1.9m. These claims have been added to the list of creditors.

To date, 19 claims have been received and investigated which relate to the Administration trading period. The deductible excess on the Joint Administrators’ insurance policy is £15,000 per claim. Any successful claims (up to these amounts) will rank as an Administration expense and will need to be settled prior to any distribution via the Prescribed Part. We have provided £200,000 for the settlement of these claims in our calculation of the estimated distributions to creditors.

JLT continue to explore a strategy for settlement of all personal injury claims for the trading period on our behalf. An extension of the Administrations will allow us to finalise and settle these claims in

Page 6: Ernst & Young LLP 1 More London Place London SE1 2AFcdn.ey.com/echannel/UK/en/Services/Transactions/Transaction-Planning... · 3 Summary of Progress Sale of business and assets A

6

Administration as well as to arrange run off insurance in the event that further claims are received. We will further update creditors of our progress in this regard in our next report.

Rent, rates and service charges

The Joint Administrators have made payments of c. £618,000 in respect of rent and service charges for leasehold premises in the portfolio during the trading period.

We are currently in the process of completing a reconciliation with the Purchaser in relation to rent and service charges and anticipate that future payments in this regard will be minimal.

Suppliers

Payments made to suppliers of the Group during the trading period total c. £5.8m. This expenditure has increased by c. £9k since our last report following settlement of additional trading utilities commitments.

A potential contingent liability exists with the environment agency in respect of the CRC energy efficiency scheme for £150,000, which may rank as an Administration expense. Whilst the Joint Administrators currently consider this liability to rank as a non preferential claim, we await a formal response from the Environment Agency to our correspondence.

An extension of the Administrations would enable conclusion of the investigations into this contingent claim, which will need to be completed prior to any distribution of the Prescribed Part.

Management recharge

Leisure was the principle purchasing, contracting and employing entity in the Group. It was therefore operated as a cost centre and encompassed the head office functions of finance, HR, IT, marketing and sales.

In accordance with the Groups historic accounting policy, these costs have been recharged to the various trading entities in the Group that utilised the goods and services during the Administration trading period.

Other receipts

There have been no changes to the previously reported positions in relation to stock and retention of title; capital expenditure; employees; events and promotions; and, force majeure and duress payments. We do not anticipate any further payments in this regard.

The Joint Administrators have collected c. £3.6m of other realisations, as detailed below.

EntityRealisation

Debtors

To date, the Joint Administrators have collected c. £763,188 in respect of debtors, which is unchanged from our last report.

After deductions for known bad debts, outstanding debtors for the Group total c. £273,000. These debtors relate to both pre-appointment book debts and invoices that were raised during the Administration trading period.

These outstanding balances are subject to contractual disputes with promotion companies or sub-tenants. We are working with our lawyers to pursue these debts. An extension of the Administrations will allow conclusion of the debtor collection process for the benefit of creditors.

Rating revaluations & prepayments

As detailed in our last report, we have engaged an agent to identify and recover historic overpayments of rates made by the Group. To date, we have collected c. £1.082m of refunds in this regard. Further realisations are expected, however, we are unable to estimate this figure at present. Currently, our agents have 66 appeals in process which they expect to be completed in due course.

Extension of the Administrations will allow our agents conclude the outstanding appeals and to realise further rates refunds for the benefit of the creditors of the Group

There have been no additional realisations since our last report to creditors.

Other issues

Taxation

The Joint Administrators are in the process of preparing the corporation tax return for the period to 9 December 2012. We expect that there will be sufficient historic losses within the Group to mitigate any gains made in the period, therefore any tax due should be immaterial to the outcome of the administrations. .

Group subsidiaries

At the dates of appointment there were a further 59 companies in the Luminar Group structure.

We are continuing to work with the directors of these companies in order to rationalise the group. A total of 31 companies have now been dissolved with a further 13 awaiting strike off.

The Structure Chart in Appendix A shows the current status of all of the companies in the wider group. .

Inter-company balances

Due to the extensive group structure, detailed above, the Group has a complex inter-company debtor position, with many of the companies in the Group ranking as creditors of each other. In this regard, in the event of a Prescribed Part distribution being made, funds will circulate around the Group. Realisations, therefore, made in one company will directly affect the other companies in the Group.

An extension of the Administrations will allow us to finalise the floating charge realisations across the Group and make Prescribed Part distributions simultaneously to avoid multiple distributions having to be made from individual entities.

Joint Administrators’ Remuneration and Expenses

The Administrators’ remuneration was fixed on a time-cost basis by the secured creditors. During the period from 27 October 2011 to the 25 January 2013, the Administrators have incurred time costs of £4,695,240.65. Of this sum, £2,991,742.00 has been drawn with the approval of the secured creditors.

Due to insufficient Fixed Charge realisations in respect of Finance and Plc, with the permission of the secured creditors, our fees in relation to these companies have been drawn from other Group entities. These recharges will not affect distributions to floating charge creditors.

An analysis of the time spent is attached as Appendix 3 to this report. At Appendix 4 there is a statement of the Administrators’ policy in relation to charging time and disbursements.

During the period from 27 October 2011 to the 25 January 2013, the Administrators have incurred expenses totalling £82,746.89 plus VAT. Of this sum, £81,057.45 has been drawn with the permission of the secured creditors. An analysis of the expenses charged, in addition to an analysis of Category 2 disbursements by entity (ie, those disbursements paid to the Joint Administrators’ firm) is attached as Appendix 3.

In certain circumstances, creditors are entitled to request further information regarding the Administrators’ remuneration or expenses, or to apply to court on the grounds that the costs are considered to be excessive. (Rules 2.48A and 2.109 of the Insolvency Rules 1986). Further information is provided in Appendix 5.

We estimate that an extension of the Administrations will incur further Administrators time costs of c. £250,000 over 14 months, assuming extensions to April 2014. We anticipate that the majority of these costs will relate to the lease assignment process; statutory reporting; insurance and contingent claims settlements; and taxation. We estimate that those time costs will be split between the 7 Companies as follows:

Entity Estimated future time costs £

Luminar Finance Ltd 4,500

Luminar Gems Ltd 60,000

Luminar Group Holdings plc 24,000

Luminar Lava Ignite Ltd 17,500

Luminar Leisure Ltd 24,000

Luminar Liquid Ltd 60,000

Luminar Oceana Ltd 60,000

Total 250,000

As detailed above and as agreed in the Joint Administrators Proposals, our actual remuneration drawn from the estate will be determined by the secured creditors.

Pre-administration costs

As previously stated the Administrators’ proposals dated 12 December 2011 included a statement of pre-administration costs which were outstanding at the date on which the company entered administration. On 26 March 2012, payment of the unpaid costs, totalling £247,336.50 was approved by the secured creditors and drawn from the Administration estates.

Secured Creditors

Lloyds Banking Group PLC is the security trustee for the syndicated loans. The secured creditors also include, Barclays Bank PLC and the Royal Bank of Scotland PLC.

These borrowings were secured by fixed and floating charges over the assets of the Group together with cross guarantees between entities. As at 27 October 2011 the secured creditors’ indebtedness was c. £112.4m. It is still estimated that the secured creditors will experience a significant shortfall following distribution of the net fixed and floating charge realisations from the Administrations.

Preferential Creditors

There has been no change to the preferential creditor position since our last report, these are still estimated to be nil. Non-preferential Creditors

Whilst claims continue to be submitted, the current levels of non-preferential creditor balances are set out below.

Entity Total (£,000)

Luminar Finance Limited 659,986 Luminar Gems Limited 98,218 Luminar Group Holding PLC 2,566 Luminar Lava & Ignite Limited 1,071 Luminar Leisure Limited 45,899 Luminar Liquid Limited 25,971 Luminar Oceana Limited 37,753 Total 871,463

The non preferential creditors of each entity will receive a dividend via the Prescribed Part. This is discussed in further detail below. The total creditor balance includes known inter-company loans, trade creditors, taxation and personal injury claims.

Page 13: Ernst & Young LLP 1 More London Place London SE1 2AFcdn.ey.com/echannel/UK/en/Services/Transactions/Transaction-Planning... · 3 Summary of Progress Sale of business and assets A

13

The Prescribed Part

The Prescribed Part is a proportion of floating charge assets set aside for non-preferential creditors pursuant to Section 176A of the Insolvency Act 1986. The Prescribed Part applies to floating charges created on or after 15 September 2003.

We have prepared a financial model to track the flow of the Prescribed Part distribution through the Group that arises as a result of the inter-company debtor balances, discussed above. As discussed the values for net property are currently incorrect

The Joint Administrators currently estimate, to the best of their knowledge and belief, that:

� The value of the net property of Finance will be £341,190 and the value of the Prescribed Part will be £71,238.

� The value of the net property of Gems will be £497,901 and the value of the Prescribed Part will be £102,580.

� The value of the net property of Plc will be £102,589 and the value of the Prescribed Part will be £23,518.

� The value of the net property of Lava Ignite will be £61,082 and the value of the Prescribed Part will be £15,216.

� The value of the net property of Leisure will be £1,084,117 and the value of the Prescribed Part will be £219,823.

� The value of the net property of Liquid will be £1,616,385 and the value of the Prescribed Part will be £326,277.

� The value of the net property of Oceana will be £1,573,579 and the value of the Prescribed Part will be £317,716.

The above estimates do not include provision for future Administrators fees and for calculation and distribution of the Prescribed Part, which will be agreed with the creditors in due course.

Distributions to Creditors

We estimate distributions via the Prescribed Part to non-preferential creditors from all companies in the Group.

There remain a number of issues to be resolved before we can provide a more accurate estimate of the Prescribed Part distributions and the potential impact on recoveries, which include;

• Realisation of the remaining floating charge assets, including debtors and rates refunds.

• Further verification of the level of inter-company liabilities, which are likely to reduce as part of the ongoing rationalisation process.

• Confirmation of the level of external creditors which will, in part, be dependent on the success in assigning the leases to the Purchaser.

We will update creditors in this regard in our next report.

Appendix 4

The Consolidated Group (all in Administration)

Office Holders’ Charging Policy for Fees The Administrators have engaged managers and other staff to work on the Administrations. The work required is delegated to the most appropriate level of staff taking account of the nature of the work and the individual’s experience. Additional assistance is provided by accounting and treasury executives dealing with the company’s bank accounts and statutory compliance diaries. Work carried out by all staff is subject to the overall supervision of the Administrators.

All time spent by staff working directly on case-related matters is charged to a time code established for the case. Each member of staff has a specific hourly rate, which is subject to change over time. The average hourly rate for each category of staff over the period is shown in Appendix 2, and the current hourly rates used as shown below. The current hourly rates may be higher than the average rates, if hourly rates have increased over the period covered by this report.

Office Holders’ Charging Policy for Disbursements Statement of Insolvency Practice No. 9 (“SIP 9”) published by R3 (The Association of Business Recovery Professionals) divides disbursements into two categories.

Category 1 disbursements comprise payments made by the office holders’ firm, which comprise specific expenditure relating to the administration of the insolvents’ affairs and referable to payment to an independent third party. These disbursements can be paid from the insolvents’ assets without approval from the Committee. In line with SIP 9, it is our policy to disclose such disbursements drawn but not to seek approval for their payment.

Category 2 disbursements are charges made by the office holder’s firm that include elements of shared or overhead costs. Statement of Insolvency Practice No. 9 provides that such disbursements are subject to approval as if they were remuneration. It is our policy, in line with the Statement, to seek approval for Category 2 disbursements before they are drawn.

Appendix 5 Creditors’ request for further information regarding an administrators’ remuneration or expenses – Rule 2.48A, Insolvency Rules 1986

1) If-

(a) within 21 days of receipt of a progress report under Rule 2.47-

(i) a secured creditor, or

(ii) an non-preferential creditor with the concurrence of at least 5% in value of the non-preferential creditors (including the creditor in question), or

(b) with the permission of the court upon an application made within that period of 21 days, any non-preferential creditor,

makes a request in writing to the administrator for further information about remuneration or expenses (other than pre-administration costs) set out in a statement required by Rule 2.47(1)(db) or (dc), the administrator must, within 14 days of receipt of the request, comply with paragraph (2).

(2) The administrator complies with this paragraph by either-

(a) providing all of the information asked for, or

(b) so far as the administrator considers that-

(i) the time or cost of preparation of the information would be excessive, or

(ii) disclosure of the information would be prejudicial to the conduct of the administration or might reasonably be expected to lead to violence against any person, or

(iii) the administrator is subject to an obligation of confidentiality in respect of the information,

giving reasons for not providing all of the information.

(3) Any creditor, who need not be the same as the creditor who requested further information under paragraph (1), may apply to the court within 21 days of-

(a) the giving by the administrator of reasons for not providing all of the information asked for, or

(b) the expiry of the 14 days provided for in paragraph (1),

and the court may make such order as it thinks just.

(4) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (3), the order of the court under that paragraph may extend the period of 8 weeks provided for in Rule 2.109(1B) by such further period as the court thinks just.”.

Creditors’ claim that remuneration is excessive – extract from Rule 2.109 of the Insolvency Rules 1986

“(1) Any secured creditor, or any non-preferential creditor with either the concurrence of at least 10% in value of the non-preferential creditors (including that creditor) or the permission of the court, may apply to the court for one or more of the orders in paragraph (4).

(1A) Application may be made on the grounds that—

(a) the remuneration charged by the administrator,

(b) the basis fixed for the administrator’s remuneration under Rule 2.106, or

(c) expenses incurred by the administrator,

is or are, in all the circumstances, excessive or, in the case of an application under sub-paragraph (b), inappropriate.

(1B) The application must, subject to any order of the court under Rule 2.48A(4), be made no later than 8 weeks after receipt by the applicant of the progress report which first reports the charging of the remuneration or the incurring of the expenses in question (“the relevant report”).”
