Vandermeer Greenhouses Ltd. is in receivership under BIA s. 243 and provincial Judicature Act authority, following the appointment of a receiver pursuant to security held by Meridian Credit Union Limited. Meridian's claim, secured by a General Security Agreement dated April 19, 2001 and a charge/mortgage registered August 15, 2008, was stated at $4,180,180 as of July 22, 2011. The Receiver's Notice and Statement reported net book values of $177,759 in accounts receivable, $96,350 in inventory, and $4,834,286 in land, building and equipment, cautioned as not representative of realizable value. The unsecured creditor list, drawn from the company's records, includes a Canada Revenue Agency deemed trust claim of $5,335, a claim of $575,679 from VanBerkel, John and Angie at the company's business address, and numerous trade creditors, alongside Ryder Truck Rental Canada Ltd., which also holds a registered PPSA security interest of undisclosed amount.

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.
