The administrators, Colin Haig (pictured) and Samantha Bewick, appointed on 22 June, hope to realise between £200,000 and £420,000 from work in progress.
Preferred creditors, including staff wages, amounted to £8,272.83 with administrators claiming this should be paid in full.
Unsecured creditors are owed £4,066,160.19, including an HM Revenue & Customs bill of about £1.3m, the report shows.
