The above information reflects close corporations that have both an active status (03) or a deregistration status (38 or 08). The legal personality of companies and close corporations are only withdrawn upon final deregistration and therefore those in a deregistration status may still be active and may at any time revert to an active status (cancelling the deregistration status).
