addition, it should be assumed that there will be costs associated <br /> with administering the Creditors' Trust. <br /> In order to allow for additional expenses, the Debtor <br /> somewhat arbitrarily reduces the estimated liquidation proceeds by <br /> $385,205, or approximately 7%, of the total estimated proceeds. <br /> With this adjustment, the Debtor's estimate of Net Proceeds <br /> available for distribution through the Creditors' Trust is <br /> $5,200,000. <br /> B. Projection of Distributions from Creditors ' Trust <br /> The amounts required to be distributed to various classes <br /> of creditors have been estimated in Section II of this Disclosure <br /> Statement. Using those estimates, with rounding, the distributions <br /> to creditors other than Sanwa is as follows: <br /> Class 1 (property taxes) : $1, 100,000 <br /> Class 2 (Patsantaras) : 30,000 <br /> Class 3 (Caterpillar) : 30,000 <br /> Class 5 (reclamation claims) : 1,900,000 <br /> Class 6 (environmental claims) : 250,000 <br /> Class 7 (general claims $200 or less) : 19,000 <br /> Class 8 (general claims $200 - 10,000) : 31,000 <br /> Class 9 (general claims over $10,000) : 700,000 <br /> Class 10 (Pitkin Iron) : 0 <br /> Class 11 (former shareholders) : 0 <br /> Class 12 (shareholder and insider loans) : 0 <br /> Class 13 (shareholder interests) : 0 <br /> Professional fees: 195,000 <br /> Other administrative expenses: 205,000 <br /> Priority taxes: 360,000 <br /> 4,820,000 <br /> If the total amount of Net Proceeds in the Creditors' <br /> Trust is $5,200,000, as estimated in the preceding section of this <br /> Disclosure Statement, the amount remaining after the above <br /> distributions would be $380,000. These proceeds would be <br /> distributed to the Class 4 claim of Sanwa. <br /> As noted previously, the actual distributions to Class 4 <br /> or Class 9 could be greater or less than shown in this <br /> illustration, depending on the actual amount of Net Proceeds <br /> realized in the liquidation process. <br /> V.
