OverviewSummary updated

The Plumb-Line Group of Companies has been in bankruptcy under the BIA since November 10, 2014, with Deloitte Restructuring Inc. acting as trustee in bankruptcy across six related estate files in the Court of King's Bench of Alberta. The proceedings remain active. A Statement of Affairs sworn by a director for Plumb-Line Group Holdings Inc., as at October 16, 2013, put entity-level assets at $238,691.00 against liabilities of $7,115,604.00, with a corresponding deficiency to creditors of $7,115,604.00 and no preferred or contingent claims listed. Secured claims on List B totalled $7,354,005.00, dominated by a $6,800,000.00 claim of Longwood Asset Management secured on vehicles, equipment and tools valued at $494,000.00, leaving $6,306,000.00 of that claim unsecured. Six further secured creditors, among them AXA Canada, BMO Financial Group, PMO Bank, Elemental Financial Corporation, Jevco Insurance and Shaw GMC, were each listed at a nominal $1.00.

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.
