12-50073-lmc Doc#259 Filed 06/21/12 Entered 06/21/12 17:34:33 Main Document Pg 2 of 6

Objections 1. Bernardi & Associates, Inc. (Bernardi) The entry for Bernardi under the Proposed Amount Allowed Under Pending Compromise Motion should be decreased $2,587.09 from $12,951.75 to $10,364.66. The $2,587.09 represents the attorneys fees at the time the claim was filed which are still subject to objection because Bernardi agreed to have its attorneys fees request considered at a later time. Finally, because Bernardi agreed that its attorneys fees request would be considered at a later time, an asterisk (*) should appear next to Bernardis name.

2.

California Artichoke & Veg Growers Corp. dba Ocean Mist Farms (Ocean Mist) The Chart currently lists an objection of $608.34 to the claim of Ocean Mist. This

objection amount is larger than Ocean Mists claim. No objection (except for the general attorneys fees objection made by Special PACA Counsel) was made by any party to Ocean Mists claim. As such, the entry for Ocean Mist under the column titled Total Objections column should only read $11.50, the amount of Ocean Mists attorneys fees at the time the claim was filed. The entry for Ocean Mist under the column titled Portion of Claim Not Subject to Objection should list $585.34, the total of Ocean Mists principal and interest. Finally, Ocean Mist agreed that its attorneys fees request would be considered at a later time, so an asterisk (*) should appear next to Ocean Mists name.

3.

DiMare Enterprises, Inc. (DiMare) The entry for DiMare under the Proposed Amount Allowed Under Pending

Compromise Motion should be increased $154.60 from $10,959.00 to $1,111.36. The $154.60 represents the interest that Special PACA Counsel included in his objection but did not add back in to the allowed amount. Finally, DiMare agreed that its attorneys fees request would be considered at a later time, so an asterisk (*) should appear next to DiMares name. 4. Franks Distributing of Produce, LLC (Franks) Franks agreed that its attorneys fees request would be considered at a later time, so an asterisk (*) should appear next to Franks name. 5. Fresh Pac Intl, Inc. (Fresh Pac) Fresh Pac agreed that its attorneys fees request would be considered at a later time, so an asterisk (*) should appear next to Fresh Pacs name (the second Fresh Pac entry). 6. Harvest Crown Co., Inc. (Harvest Crown) The Chart currently lists an objection in the amount of $9,083.54 to Harvest Crowns claim. No objection (except for the general attorneys fees objection made by Special PACA Counsel) was made by any party to Harvest Crowns claim. As such, the entry for Harvest Crown under the column titled Total Objections column should only read $3,134.08, the amount of Harvest Crowns attorneys fees at the time the claim was filed. The entry for Harvest Crown under the column titled Portion of Claim Not

Subject to Objection should list $150,997.56, the total of Harvest Crowns principal and interest. 7. Mission Produce, Inc. (Mission) The entry for Mission under the Proposed Amount Allowed Under Pending Compromise Motion should be decreased $1,831.49 from $15,107.95 to $13,276.46. The $1,831.49 represents the attorneys fees at the time the claim was filed which are still subject to objection because Mission agreed to have its attorneys fees request considered at a later time. Finally, because Mission agreed that its attorneys fees request would be considered at a later time, an asterisk (*) should appear next to Missions name. 8. Prime Time Sales, LLC (Prime Time) The entry for Prime Time currently lists an amount (609.84) in the column titled No Response Filed-Objection Deemed Valid. This is in error, as a response to the objections was filed on April 16, 2012 (see Docket #213). The entry for Prime Time in the column titled Proposed Amount Allowed Under Pending Compromise Motion should be revised from $609.84 to $23.50, which is the correct agreed upon amount. Finally, Prime Time agreed that its attorneys fees request would be considered at a later time, so an asterisk (*) should appear next to Prime Times name. /// /// /// /// ///

9.

Royal Flavor, LLC (Royal Flavor) The entry for Royal Flavor under the Proposed Amount Allowed Under Pending

Compromise Motion should be decreased $1,705.02 from $11,672.02 to $9,967.00. The $1,705.02 represents the attorneys fees at the time the claim was filed which are still subject to objection because Royal Flavor agreed to have its attorneys fees request considered at a later time.
