Sure. They successful transferred about 7 from.what I saw so far. Now for 10 that was mutually agreed I haven't checked the store numbers to see whether the were part of the transfers. But all the stores are cleared now with few objections. So thesis here is looking greener. It will just require a little patience and maybe some buying with spare money. Good luck.

HERE ARE LIABILITIES AT MARCH 31, 2017

Liabilities

Accounts Payable $14.70
Customer Deposits $17.90
Other Accrued Expenses $16.20
DIP $23.70
Other Long Term $4.00
Deferred Rent 47.7 Actual (Payable assuming Landlord’s Cap to rent applied at 15% of total sum) $7.2M
Liabilities Subject to Compromise is $122.3 Million. Actual (Payable assuming Landlord’s Cap to rent applied $15% of total sum) $18.3M .
TOTAL EXPECTED LIABILITY BASED ON MARCH 31, 2017 NUMBERS ONLY $102.

FINAL $173.6 - $102 is $71.6 Million. This is the basis of this trade. I have not made adjustments for leases that may be under one year, or the leases that were successfully transferred. I have knocked down ERR on Credit Cards with Synchrony Bank to 85% even though this will likely trend at $95% because Synchrony does the collection. Also, for the inventory, if you followed the sale like I did, most of the items were sold closer discounts at other stores which implies that the gain on these items were discounted but the basis was recovered. The later day sales with huge discounts were for mostly items that were damaged, out of shape etc. Note that recently Sports Authority recovered $101% on their inventory plus $1.8 million.

CONCLUSION: Although we don’t have expense for April and May, we know that most stores handed over sales to Hilco in April and froze most admin expenses. In March, only about $650 was paid to professionals handling the bankruptcy (attorneys, accountants, etc). With a very high probability VHP pool of $70 million in play, you can see that any recovery here would be substantial based on current PPS. Thank you again and goodluck to all.

NOTE: I used the Universal Recovery Model on this. Numbers may come in slightly lower or higher but I rely on it.
