OverviewSummary updated

Gestion Max Lavoie Inc., a Quebec company, is the subject of active insolvency proceedings. Internal, unaudited consolidated statements covering the company and its four subsidiaries show total assets of $7,914,487 against total liabilities of $9,664,773 as at October 31, 2023, and a shareholders' equity deficit of $1,750,285. That reverses earlier review-engagement figures of $10,508,522 in assets against $6,675,532 in liabilities at December 31, 2021, and $9,499,763 against $8,836,150 at December 31, 2022. Desjardins is listed as secured for $1,719,406, with a further contingent guarantee claim of $2,521,473. The largest unsecured claims on the list of creditors filed with the notice of intention are $700,000 owing to 9373-2063 Québec Inc., $500,000 to Desjardins Capital and $340,000 to 2954-2636 Québec Inc. Those figures were taken from the corporation's books and records and may be incorrect.

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.
