    By "winded up in June 2001," do you mean they stopped doing business? If so, the entire thing needs expensed off. Depreciation is based on the concept of "going concern," meaning an assumption that the business will continue indefinitely. If the company does not continue, then you can't do things like depreciation in a normal manner.
