Don’t confuse assets with cash. That the company has something with a book value of £1.3M does not mean that they should be obliged to spend their rest of their lives maintaining mIRC for free.

Yeah, like owning stock in another company or some other security that can be sold for cash, but not without loss.

the liquidatable value is literally how you define the term "current asset" (otherwise the accounts wouldn't balance)

(and if you actually go and look at his past balance sheets it's entirely cash and callable loans the company has written)
