5. Post balance sheet events

In 2011 and 2012 the company jointly with David Mark Regan made available monies by way of loans to Regent Greeting Cards Limited. The company agreed to provide a guarantee to David Mark Regan relating to the monies he made available at the time, amounting to £700000. In the event of any default by Regent Greeting Cards Limited and not repaying any or all of the loans to David Mark Regan, the guarantee would crystallise. As at the balance sheet date Regent Greeting Cards Limited remained in administration and the company has made no provision within its accounts ended 31 December 2017 should this guarantee crystallise following the conclusion of the administration of Regent Greeting Cards Limited which is expected in the Autumn of 2018. It has been confirmed there are insufficient funds to repay either the company or David Mark Regan. The company will include crystallisation of the bad debt and the effect of the guarantee given to David Mark Regan in the company's accounts for the year ended 31 December 2018.The amount of the bad debt and guarantee is significant. However, notwithstanding this outstanding debt and guarantee, the company continues to trade normally. The realisation of this bad debt and guarantee will have a significant negative effect on the company's profit and loss account in 2018 and balance sheet going forward; however the company's current and future trading is expected to continue normally.
