3. Payables and Accrued Expenses

 

Included in payables and accrued expenses was liquidating distribution payable of $4,012 and $5,103 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Liquidating distributions were distributed to qualified shareholders in 2005 ($153,603), 2007 ($25,004) and 2009 ($39,944). Some shareholders did not cash/deposit their checks; as a result, new checks (totaling $1,091 and $8,398) were distributed during 2011 and 2010, respectively to these shareholders (who submitted documentation validating that they were the legal owner of the subject shares) to replace the checks that are considered non-negotiable after 180 days by the Uniform Commercial Code. On December 1, 2010, $1,325 was remitted to the State of Minnesota for unclaimed liquidating distribution checks.
