Sopwith Aviation and Engineering Co., Ltd.A MEETING of the creditors of the company was held onOctober 6, at the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Moor- gate Street, E.C, The chair was occupied by Mr. R. M. Peat,who with Mr. H. P. Musgrave had been appointed to act as the liquidators in the voluntary liquidation of the company.It was stated by the Chairman that the company was formed as a private limited liability concern, in 1913, with anominal capital of £26,000. At the outbreak of the War the company employed about 200 persons. At the Armistice6,000 people were employed. After the Armistice the com- pany undertook the production of motor-cycles, for which theworks were reorganise&k and machinery valued at £100,000 was introduced. Unfortunately, when the economical production of thebicycle was achieved, the seasonal slump, which this year was earlier than usual, set in. Up to a year ago the company didvery well and had accumulated reserves of more than £900,000. An approximate statement showing the position disclosedtotal liabilities of £705,430, while the assets were £862,630. The liabilities included £583,510 for Excess profits duty, butthat figure would be subject to considerable modification when the company's trading had been ascertained, and a sum of£136,000 was disputed by the company. The company had previously paid £450,000 in excess profits duty. He addedthat the best results in the liquidation would be achieved by the sale of the business as a going concern, and the liquidatorswould encourage any enquiries. Several enquiries had already been received, but no definite offer had been made. In the discussion the opinion was expressed that theunsecured creditors should be represented in the liquidation of the company, and eventually a resolution was passed that anapplication should be made to the Court for the appointment of Mr. W. H. Chantrey to act as joint liquidator with theChairman in the voluntary liquidation of the company.
