Phoenix Associates Land Syndicate (Phoenix) (Pinksheets:PBLS - News) announced that it filed a petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code on June 10, 2009 - Case #0911743 in the Eastern District of Louisiana. This filing is intended to allow Phoenix to reorganize and in due course to successfully emerge from reorganization to operate again.

Phoenix management believes the Company has approximately $16-$18 million in debts and assets, consisting primarily of the damage claim against the First National Bank of Picayune for illegally seizing our only operating dredge and shaker plant in January, 2004, thereby resulting in the termination of the Sand and Gravel Lease and depriving Phoenix of its income from that source, which should realize more than enough to pay all creditors in full. These numbers will almost certainly be adjusted by the company's attorney in the Chapter 11 proceeding. As of this date the only person still with Phoenix is Paul Alonzo, President of the company. There are no other employees.

Mr. Alonzo stated, "The impetus behind the decision to file for protection under Chapter 11 is that Phoenix has been under relentless attack during the past eighteen to twenty-four months by shareholders, non-shareholders, former employees and former business relationships which resulted in the destruction of Phoenix's business plan. No company that I am aware of could have survived this type of attack. I estimate that in the next two to three years that most if not all of these matters will have been addressed, litigated if necessary, and resolved."

Mr. Alonzo stated further, "I fully expect that Phoenix and its stockholders will survive in some form or another. This will not be a short term solution. In the end it is the only way to return Phoenix to a viable operating entity and restore value to the stockholders."
