9. The company was formed by A.B., deceased, to carry on the business of .... formerly carried on by him in partnership with C.D. and E.F. The said A.B., C.D., and E.F. were the first directors of the company. Each of the said three directors held 2,000 shares in the company.

[Title as in Form No. 1]

I, ....... of ....... , the Liquidator of the above named company make oath and say as follows:

1. I have in the schedule marked "A" upon each page of which I have signed my name before swearing this affidavit, set forth a statement showing the amount due in respect of the debts allowed against the said company, and the estimated amount of the costs, charges and expenses of and incidental to the winding up thereof and which said several amounts in the aggregate are € ....... or thereabouts.

LIQUIDATOR'S STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS.

(Pursuant to section 681 of the Companies Act 2014).

_______

GENERAL DIRECTIONS AS TO PREPARATION OF THE STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS.

(1) The statement should contain a detailed account of all the Liquidator's realisations and disbursements in respect of the company. The statement of realisations should contain a record of all receipts derived from assets existing at the date of the winding up order or realisation and subsequently realised, including balance in bank, book debts and calls collected, property sold, &c. and the account of disbursements should contain all payments for costs and charges or to creditors or contributories. Where property has been realised, the gross proceeds of sale should be entered under realisations, and the necessary payments incidental to sales should be entered as disbursements. These accounts should not contain payments into or out of bank or temporary investments by the Liquidator or the proceeds of such investments when realised which should be shown separately by a separate detailed statement of monies invested by the Liquidator and investments realised. Interest allowed or charged by the bank, bank charges and commission, and profit or loss upon the realisation of temporary investments, should however, be inserted in the accounts of realisations or disbursements, as the case may be. Each receipt and payment should be entered in the account in such a manner as sufficiently to explain its nature. The receipts and payments should severally be added up at the foot of each sheet and the totals carried forward from one account to another without any intermediate balance, so that the gross totals represent the total amounts received and paid by the Liquidator respectively.

(2) When the Liquidator carries on a business, a trading account in the form annexed hereto should be forwarded as a distinct account, and the totals of receipts and payments on the trading account should alone be set out in the general statement of account.

(3) When dividends or instalments of compositions are paid to creditors, or a return of surplus assets is made to contributories, the total amount of each dividend, or instalment of composition or return to contributories actually paid, should be entered in the statement of disbursements as one sum; and the Liquidator should forward separate accounts showing in lists the amount of the claim of each creditor, and the amount of dividend or composition payable to each creditor, and of surplus assets payable to each contributory, distinguishing in each list the dividends or instalments of composition and shares of surplus assets actually paid and those remaining unclaimed.

(4) When unclaimed dividends, instalments of composition or returns of surplus assets are paid into the account prescribed under section 623(1) of the Companies Act 2014, the total amount so paid in should be entered in the statement of disbursements as one sum.

(5) Credit should not be taken in the statement of disbursements for any amount in respect of Liquidator's remuneration unless it has been duly allowed by resolution of the committee of inspection or of the creditors or of the company in general meeting or by order of Court as the case may require.
