Plan negotiations contemplate La Salle releasing its security over certain retained assets. The proceedings remain active.

The officer filed report no. Sixth Report. The Applicant is a dissolved corporation with no directors, officers or ongoing business operations; the Monitor is administering discharge of a mortgage and seeking court direction on distributing the proceeds to creditors or the Crown.

The officer filed report no. Fifth Report. The Applicant's Plan was implemented in 2007 and only final steps remain: collecting and distributing the matured VTB Mortgage funds to creditors with Larger Claims. The Applicant has no remaining directors or officers and was dissolved under the OBCA, so the Monitor seeks court authority to complete the distribution and then be discharged.

Each row is one filing's statement, copied as it reads and never computed. "Estimated" is the officer's forecast; "Under the plan" is the plan's or proposal's own term; "Final" is a declared or paid distribution; a row with no chip states no footing. A range is the two numbers stated; "of proven claims" is the document's own denominator.
