OverviewSummary updated

EnerNorth Industries Inc. is subject to a court-appointed receivership in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, commenced June 21, 2007 under section 47.1(1) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and section 101 of the Courts of Justice Act, court file 31-454694, with RSM Richter Inc. as both applicant and receiver. An amended Statement of Affairs sworn by president Sandra Hall as at March 20, 2007 lists assets of $3,753,636.86 against liabilities of $8,614,481.03, a deficiency of $4,963,184.17, of which $7,349,894.70 is unsecured and $1,266,926.33 secured.

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.
