Extract below taken from money.telegraph. I presume the companies referred to are subsidiaries of Quays Holdings as acquired from Orb.


Former Orb subsidiaries in receivership
By Carolyn Batt (Filed: 25/06/2003)


Homebuyers hoping to take possession of luxury flats at Poole, Dorset, could lose their deposits after two companies until recently controlled by Jersey-based Orb were placed in administrative receivership.

The Royal Bank of Scotland has appointed partners of Price Waterhouse Coopers to manage Poole Developments and Dolphin Quay Developments after the companies were crippled by cash-flow problems.

The Orb subsidiaries were behind Poole's Dolphin Quay Waterside development, involving 105 apartments costing up to £1.25m each and 70,000 squ ft. of retail space.

PWC partner Barry Gilbertson said yesterday: "The various difficulties of Orb have been well-documented. It seems those difficulties caused the companies not to have enough money to pay the building contractor on the project, Taylor Woodrow."

He said Taylor Woodrow suspended work earlier this month and "that caused nervousness at the bank, which appointed administrative receivers."

Contracts had been exchanged on 85 apartments, with buyers paying an average deposit of 10pc. Mr Gilbertson said: "There is a risk they will lose their money." He added: "We're struggling to find out exactly who the directors of these companies are."

More bad news surrounding Orb. Little closer (too close!) to home for QYG shareholders.

The continuing saga surrounding secretive property firm Orb Estates has taken a new twist after it emerged that the Serious Fraud Office has been probing the company's plans to transform Poole harbourside in Dorset.

Considering the risk that the assets purchased from Orb are a ripoff, and that the remaining cash has gone walkies, it is surprising that QYG holdings still has a significant market value.

Purple, on paper it may seem good value, but it is an illusion. The remaining cash is going to be converted into properties and improvements to properties. Then how do you value the assets? You cant rely on value based on historical cost as will appear in the Balance Sheet because the initial "price" paid may well not have been realistic. My concern is the competency of the Directors which has been clearly shown to be lacking. There are ruthless operators in the property business who could run rings round this bunch, in fact they may already have done so. Watch the cash go down, the debt appear, followed a couple of years later by asset write-downs. The directors may just have demonstrated how clever they are by getting into the property market at the top, and even then paying too much. AVOID

The Directors in this deal should be sent to prison!




RNS Number:5309A
Takeover Panel
29 August 2002

2002/20

THE TAKEOVER PANEL

ALEXANDERS HOLDINGS PLC

(now renamed Quays Group PLC)


On 4 July, Alexanders Holdings PLC (now renamed Quays Group PLC, "Alexanders")
issued a circular to its shareholders seeking, among other matters, approval for
the acquisition of certain assets from Orb Estates PLC ("Orb Estates"), approval
for the issue of shares to Orb Estates in consideration and approval of the
waiver by the Panel of the obligation under Rule 9 of the Code that would
otherwise have arisen for Orb Estates to make a general offer for Alexanders.

Alexanders was advised by Corporate Synergy PLC ("Corporate Synergy").

Following the issue of the Alexanders circular, the Executive was contacted by a
shareholder in Alexanders who raised a number of issues in connection with the
transaction. As a result of its investigation into these issues, the Executive
concluded that:


* Corporate Synergy was not sufficiently independent from Orb Estates to
provide independent advice to the Alexanders board and must therefore step down
as the Rule 3 adviser to Alexanders for the purposes of the transaction;

* if the transaction was to proceed, a new independent adviser must be
appointed and a further circular sent to Alexanders' shareholders; and

* the annual general meeting of Alexanders' shareholders convened to
consider the transaction must be adjourned pending the issue of the new
circular.


On 1 August, Alexanders issued a supplemental circular to its shareholders
containing advice from the new Rule 3 adviser. This circular also informed
shareholders that:

* one of the directors of Alexanders was not considered by the Executive
to be independent for the purposes of the transaction and would therefore no
longer form part of the Alexanders board's recommendation to shareholders;

* a major shareholder in Alexanders was not considered to be independent
and had undertaken not to vote on the resolution to approve the waiver of Rule 9
as a result of certain connections with the ultimate controller of Orb Estates;
and

* an agreement entered into between Mr Humm, one of the directors of
Alexanders, under which Mr Humm had agreed to sell his Alexanders shares, had
been cancelled.

Following the publication of the supplemental circular, an appeal was made by
the shareholder in Alexanders against the decision of the Executive to grant a
waiver of Rule 9 of the Code. The Panel dismissed the appeal. Nonetheless, the
Executive regards the need for the additional disclosures and amendments to the
original circular as unsatisfactory, and believes that responsibility for this
must lie to a large extent with Corporate Synergy as the financial adviser to
Alexanders.

The Code places great emphasis on the importance of an offeree company obtaining
competent independent advice and on the need for parties and their advisers to
consult the Executive on matters involving interpretation of the Code. This is
particularly important in a case involving the proposed grant of a waiver from a
Rule 9 obligation.


Corporate Synergy failed adequately to consult the Executive in relation to the
issue of its own independence and to the proposed share sale by Mr Humm. In the
Executive's view, this conduct falls short of the standards required of advisers
involved in a Code transaction and Corporate Synergy is criticised accordingly.

Note: Corporate Synergy is a subsidiary of Corporate Synergy Holdings PLC
which was acquired on 24 July by Mountcashel PLC
(since renamed Abingdon Capital PLC).
