LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE
11. LIABILITIES SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE

Liabilities subject to compromise refers to unsecured obligations that will be accounted for under any bankruptcy plan. Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of liabilities arising prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases (“Pre-Petition Liabilities”) are stayed.  Pre-Petition liabilities that are subject to compromise are reported at the amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts.  These liabilities represent the estimated amount expected to be allowed on known or potential claims to be resolved through the Bankruptcy Cases, and remain subject to future adjustments arising from negotiated settlements, actions of the Bankruptcy Court, rejection of executory contracts and unexpired leases, the determination as to the value of collateral securing the claims, proofs of claim, or other events.  Liabilities subject to compromise also include certain items that may be assumed under a plan of reorganization, and as such, may be subsequently reclassified to liabilities not subject to compromise.  Unless otherwise provided for in the Bankruptcy Code or any “claims bar date order” entered in the Bankruptcy Cases, holders of pre-petition claims are required to file proofs of claims by the “bar date”, which will be established with approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

The Bankruptcy Court established a claims barred date of April 18, 2012 by which certain claims against the Debtors had to be filed if the claimants wish to receive any distribution in this Bankruptcy Case.  When the bar date was established, the creditors were notified of the bar date and the requirement to file a proof of claim with the Bankruptcy Court.  Differences between liability amounts estimated by the Debtors and claims filed by creditors are being investigated and, if necessary, the Bankruptcy Court will make a final determination of the amount of any allowable claim.  On December 13, 2012 the Bankruptcy Court approved the bankruptcy plan whereby all valid creditor claims would be fully paid by the Debtors.  The Company has reconciled and paid all of the liabilities that were subject to compromise, and for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company realized a gain on liabilities subject to compromise of $26 and $1,331, respectively, which is reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.
