with a final order of the Court entered pursuant to SS 303, 331, or
<br /> 503(b) (2) through (6) of the Bankruptcy Code.
<br /> The following summarizes the legal fees and expenses
<br /> accrued to date in connection with the Debtor's bankruptcy case:
<br /> (i) the Debtor's bankruptcy counsel, Holden & Jessop,
<br /> P.C. , has been allowed interim fees and expenses of
<br /> $163,503.93 from the inception of the case through
<br /> September 30, 1993, of which $121,425.72 has been paid
<br /> pursuant to Court order. From October 1, 1993 through
<br /> December 31, 1993, the firm has accrued $26,242.57 of
<br /> fees and expenses which have not yet been submitted to
<br /> the Court for allowance; together with fees and expenses
<br /> previously allowed but not paid, the firm thus claims
<br /> $68,320.78 of unpaid fees and expenses through 1993.
<br /> Through Plan confirmation, the firm estimates that this
<br /> amount may increase to $90,000;
<br /> (ii) the Debtor's special counsel, Sherman & Howard, has
<br /> been allowed final fees and expenses of $47,642.05. The
<br /> firm has received no prior payment of fees incurred in
<br /> this case;
<br /> (iii) the Debtor's special counsel, Delaney and Balcomb,
<br /> P.C. , has been allowed interim fees and expenses of
<br /> $38,254.03 from the inception of the case through March
<br /> 31, 1993. The firm has applied for allowance of
<br /> additional fees and expenses of $10,977 for the period of
<br /> April 1 through September 30, 1993; these applications
<br /> remain pending. To date, the firm has received payment
<br /> of $36,420.75 on these applications. Thus, through
<br /> September 30, 1993, the firm claims $12,810.28 of unpaid
<br /> fees and expenses. Fees and expenses accrued since
<br /> September 30, 1993 and through confirmation of the Plan
<br /> are anticipated to be insubstantial; and
<br /> (iv) Fairfield and Woods, P.C. , counsel for the
<br /> Creditors' Committee, has been allowed interim fees and
<br /> expenses of $17,427.34 from the inception of the case
<br /> through July 31, 1992, of which $13,314 .84 has been paid.
<br /> From August 1, 1992 through December 31, 1993, the firm
<br /> has accrued an additional $34,625.07 of fees and
<br /> expenses. The firm estimates an additional $5,000 of
<br /> fees and expenses through confirmation of the Plan, which
<br /> would leave an unpaid balance of approximately $44,000 at
<br /> Plan confirmation.
<br /> Total professional fees and expenses in the case thus are
<br /> estimated at approximately $365,000 through confirmation of the
<br /> Plan. Of this amount, approximately $140,000 has been paid by the
<br /> Debtor as a result of advances from Mid-Continent Minerals. These
