The following balance sheet represents Joes Electronics position at the time it filed for bankruptcy (in thousands of dollars).

Only net plant are pledged as collateral to the mortgage bonds (including both first-mortgage bonds and second-mortgage bonds). Subordinated debentures are subordinated to notes payable only.

Trustees costs amounted to $130,000. No single workers were due more than $2,000 in wages, and there were no unfounded pension plan liabilities.
