(2) The process adviser shall—

(a) prepare a report relating to the eligible company specifying the matters set out in subsection (3), and

(b) submit a copy of the report to the directors of the eligible company.

(3) The matters referred to in subsection (2)(a) are—

(b) the names and addresses of the officers of the eligible company,

(c) the names of any other bodies corporate of which the directors of the eligible company are also directors,

(d) a statement as to the affairs of the eligible company, showing—

(ii) the names and addresses of its creditors,

(iii) the securities held by each of them, and

(iv) the dates when the securities were given to each of them,

(e) the process adviser’s opinion as to whether any deficiency between the assets and liabilities of the eligible company has been satisfactorily accounted for or, if not, as to whether there is evidence of a substantial dissipation of property that is not adequately accounted for,
