#Report

The officer filed report no. Second Report. Both estates were deemed bankrupt on November 27, 2009 after creditors rejected the proposals. The Trustee seeks appointment of Hardie & Kelly Inc. as joint trustee to investigate and litigate potential section 95/96 BIA claims against GE arising from a June 2009 settlement agreement, because of the Trustee's business relationship with GE.

#Report

The officer filed report no. First Report. The trustee is administering the Torode estate after the failed proposal and deemed bankruptcy, has surrendered estate property to secured creditor Carevest (which prefers the trustee continue administering for now), and expects asset sales to realize roughly $2.4 million, insufficient to repay the Carevest loan in full.

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.
