All have been admitted for voting purposes. Those claims will, subject to instructions of the Inspectors, either be accepted and paid in accordance with the terms of the Proposal, or disallowed as claims of that nature and admitted as ordinary unsecured claims. Any creditor dissatisfied with the treatment of their claim can appeal a Trustee's disallowance to Superior Court in Bankruptcy.

The fundraising objectives have been met on schedule. As at April 7, 2000, the Orchestra has raised $144,338.75. Their overall objective to April 19, 2000, is $163,000.

3. Votes Received and Recorded

There have been 7 voting letters received representing claims of $46,889.37. All votes noted are in FAVOUR of the Proposal.

The Trustee has received the permission of the following 3 individuals to be nominated to stand as Inspectors:

6. Distribution of Dividends

The Trustee will, subject to the approval of the Inspectors, send out notices requiring any creditors who have not proven their claim to prove their claim within 30 days.
