Note B - Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code

 

On January 17, 2007, Senior Management Services of Katy, Inc. and its affiliated companies (SMS Companies or Debtors) filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  During the three years prior to filing the reorganization petition, SMS Companies operated a chain of skilled nursing homes, located principally in Texas, which prior to the bankruptcy proceedings consisted of a total of 14 separate nursing facilities, ranging in size from approximately 114 beds to 325 beds.  In the aggregate, SMS Companies provided care to approximately 1,600 resident patients and employed over 1,400 employees.  A significant portion of the SMS Companies cash flow was provided by patients covered by Medicare and Medicaid.  The SMS Companies facilities provided round-the-clock care for the health, well-being, safety and medical needs of its patients.  The administrative and operational oversight of the nursing facilities was provided by an affiliated management company located in Arlington, Texas.  In 2005, SMS Companies obtained a secured credit facility from a financial institution.  The credit facility eventually was comprised of an $8.3 million term loan and a revolving loan of up to $15 million which was utilized for working capital and to finance the purchase of the real  property on which 2 of its nursing care facilities operated.  By late 2006, SMS Companies were in an "overadvance" position, whereby the amount of funds extended by the lender exceeded the amount of collateral eligible to be borrowed under the credit facility.  Beginning in September 2006, SMS Companies entered into the first of a series of forbearance agreements whereby the lender agreed to forebear from declaring the financing in default provided SMS Companies obtained a commitment from a new lender to refinance and restructure the credit  facility.  SMS Companies were unsuccessful in obtaining a commitment from a new lender and, on January 5, 2007, the lender declared SMS Companies in default and commenced foreclosure and collection proceedings.  On January 9, 2007, the lender agreed to provide an additional $1.7 million to fund payroll and permit a controlled transaction to bankruptcy.  Subsequently, on January 17, 2007, the SMS Companies filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

Under Chapter 11, certain claims against the Debtors in existence prior to the filing of the petitions for relief under Federal Bankruptcy Laws are stayed while the Debtors continue to operate their businesses as debtors-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court.  These claims were reflected in the predecessor company’s balance sheets as “Liabilities Subject to Compromise” through the settlement date.  Additional claims (liabilities subject to compromise) may arise subsequent to the petition date resulting from the rejection of executory contracts, including leases, and from the determination of the court (or agreed to by parties in interest) of allowed claims for contingencies and other disputed amounts.

 

The First Amended, Modified Chapter 11 Plan, (the Plan) as presented by SMS Companies and their creditors was approved by the United States Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Texas - Dallas Division on August 1, 2007.  The Plan, which contemplates the Company entering into a reverse merger transaction, provided that certain identified claimants as well as unsecured creditors, in accordance with the allocation provisions of the Plan of Reorganization, and the Company’s new controlling stockholder would receive “new” shares of the Company’s post-reorganization common stock, pursuant to Section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code (Plan Shares).  As a result of the Plan’s approval, all liens, security interests, encumbrances and other interests, as defined in the Plan of Reorganization, attach to the creditor’s trust.  Specific injunctions prohibit any of these claims from being asserted against the Company prior to the contemplated reverse merger.

 

All assets, liabilities and other claims, including “Allowed Administrative Claims” which arise in the processing of the bankruptcy proceedings, against the Company and it’s affiliated entities were combined into a single creditor’s trust for the purpose of distribution of funds to creditors.  Each of the individual SMS Companies entities otherwise remained separate corporate entities.  From the commencement of the bankruptcy proceedings through August 1, 2007 (the confirmation date of the plan of reorganization), all secured claims and/or administrative claims during this period were satisfied through either direct payment or negotiation.

 

Pursuant to the Plan, the pre-confirmation unsecured creditors of Senior Management Services of Katy, Inc. (our predecessor company) agreed to accept Plan Shares in SMSA Katy Acquisition Corp., as reorganized, in lieu of asserting recovery of their claims against the Plan’s liquidating trust.  As previously discussed, the confirmation order provided for an injunction protecting us from the claims of the pre-confirmation unsecured creditors while the Company pursues a business combination with an operating business.  If the Company does not consummate a business combination prior to May 10, 2012, the issued Plan Shares will be deemed canceled, the Company will file dissolution documents with the State of Nevada and will cease to exist.  Accordingly, the discharge provided in the Plan to the Company will not be effective.  In such event, the pre-confirmation unsecured creditors could attempt to assert their pre-confirmation claims against us and the Plan liquidating trust.  However, since the Plan did not contemplate, anticipate or provide that the Company would accumulate any assets prior to a business combination, the Company will have no assets against which pre-confirmation creditors could assert their claims upon our dissolution.  Further, the Plan did not provide for the retention of any assets or funds in the Plan’s liquidating trust to pay the pre-confirmation unsecured creditors if the Company failed to timely consummate a business combination.  Therefore, it is very unlikely that the pre-confirmation unsecured creditors would be able to recover any portion of their pre-confirmation claims. The Company’s management is of the opinion, with which our auditor concurs, that no contingent liabilities exist subsequent to August 1, 2007(date of bankruptcy settlement).

The Company’s Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court on August 1, 2007 and became effective on August 10, 2007.  It was determined that SMSA Katy Acquisition Corp’s reorganization value computed immediately before August 1, 2007, the confirmation date of the Plan of Reorganization, was approximately $1,000, which consisted of the following:

 

Current assets to be transferred to the post-confirmation entity

 

$

1,000

 

Fair market value of property and equipment

 

 

-

 

Deposits with vendors and other assets transferred

 

 

 

 

to the post-confirmation entity

 

 

-

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reorganization value

 

$

1,000

 

 

 

Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, all of the operations of the Company were transferred to a combined creditor’s trust and, as approved by the Bankruptcy Court, a completely new entity was formed for purposes of completing the aforementioned reverse merger transaction.  The Company adopted fresh-start reporting because the holders of existing voting shares immediately before filing and confirmation of the Plan received less than 50.0% of the voting shares of the emerging entity and its reorganization value is not greater than its postpetition liabilities and allowed claims, as shown below:

The reorganization value of SMSA Katy Acquisition Corp. was determined in consideration of several factors and by reliance on various valuation methods, including discounting cash flow and price/earnings and other applicable ratios.  The factors considered by SMSA Katy Acquisition Corp. included the following:

 

Forecasted operating and cash flows results which gave effect to the estimated impact of

Corporate restructuring and other operating program changes

Limitations on the use of available net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes resulting from the Plan of Reorganization and other events

The discounted residual value at the end of the forecast period based on capitalized cash flows for the last year of that period.

Market share and position

Competition and general economic conditions

Projected sales growth

Potential profitability

Seasonality and working capital requirements

 

After consideration of SMSA Katy Acquisition Corp.’s debt capacity and other capital structure considerations, such as industry norms, projected earnings to fixed charges, projected earnings before interest and projected free cash flow to debt service and other applicable ratios, management determined that SMSA Katy Acquisition Corp.’s reorganization capital structure should be as follows:

 

Common Stock (530,612 “new” shares to be issued at $0.001 par value)

 

$

531

 

Additional paid-in capital

 

 

469

 

 

 

 

 

 

Total reorganized capital structure

 

$

1,000

 

 

As previously discussed, the cancellation of all existing shares outstanding at the date of the bankruptcy filing and the issuance of all “new” shares of the reorganized entity caused an issuance of shares of common stock and a related change of control of the Company with more than 50.0% of the “new” shares being held by persons and/or entities which were not pre-bankruptcy stockholders.  Accordingly, per the Reorganization topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Reorganization topic), the Company adopted “fresh-start” accounting as of the bankruptcy discharge date whereby all continuing assets and liabilities of the Company were restated to the fair market value.  The Reorganization topic further states that fresh start financial statements prepared by entities emerging from bankruptcy will not be comparable with those prepared before their plans were confirmed because they are, in fact, those of a new entity.  For accounting purposes, the Company adopted fresh start accounting in accordance with the Reorganization topic as of August 1, 2007, the confirmation date of the Plan.

 

As of August 1, 2007, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, the only asset of the Company was approximately $1,000 in cash transferred from the bankruptcy creditor’s trust.
