January's Report
XI. QUESTIONNAIRE
 
     
No

Has the debtor-in-possession made any payments on its pre-petition unsecured debt, except as have been authorized by the court?  If "Yes", explain below:
X
   
           
     
No
 
Yes
2.
Has the debtor-in-possession during this reporting period provided compensation or remuneration to any officers, directors, principals, or other insiders without appropriate authorization?  If "Yes", explain below:
X
   
           
3.
State what progress was made during the reporting period toward filing a plan of reorganization:
           
 
During the previous reporting period, Meruelo Maddux - 845 S. Flower Street, LLC ("845 S. Flower"), together with Meruelo Chinatown, LLC under case no. 1:09-bk-21622-KT ("Chinatown") and Meruelo Maddux Properties and its 53 affiliate debtors  jointly administered under case no. 1:09-bk-13356-KT (the "MMPI Case"), filed a joint and consolidated Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and disclosure statement.  A hearing on the approval of the disclosure statement was held on January 20, 2010.  The Court declined to approve the disclosure statement at that time, and set a further hearing on the disclosure statement.  As a result of the hearing and various other factors, 845 S. Flower and Chinatown are preparing to file their First Joint Amended Disclosure Statement and  Joint Amended Plan of Reorganization separate from the amended plan to be filed in the MMPI Case.
 
The hearing on 845 S. Flower's motion to sell condominium units in its luxury condominium tower (the "Project") to third party purchasers, free and clear of liens, and other related requests for relief to assist in the execution of the sale (the "Sale Motion") was held on December 17, 2009.  A continued hearing was held on January 8, 2010.  The Court denied the motion without prejudice to the Debtor including its sale program in a plan of reorganization.  As discussed above, 845 S. Flower and Chinatown are preparing file an amended plan that provides for the sale of the condominium in units through a sale program or the sale of the Project as a whole.
 
The hearing on 845 S. Flower's motion to sell condominium units in its luxury condominium tower (the "Project") to third party purchasers, free and clear of liens, and other related requests for relief to assist in the execution of the sale (the "Sale Motion") was held on December 17, 2009.  A continued hearing was held on January 8, 2010.  The Court denied the motion without prejudice to the Debtor incorporating the sale program into its plan of reorganization.  The Debtor is now considering amendment of 845 S. Flower's plan to separate it from the Joint Plan of the MMPI Debtors.
 
         
4.
Describe potential future developments which may have a significant impact on the case:
   
 
In a previous reporting period, Canpartners filed a motion for relief from stay with respect to the Project.  845 S. Flower Street contested the motion and disputed that Canpartners is entitled to relief from the automatic stay on any grounds.  A continued hearing on the motion took place on January 8, 2010.  The Court authorized further briefing and set a further hearing on the motion for February 5, 2010.  At that time, the Court set March 12, 2010 for a continued evidentiary hearing on the valuation of the Project.  The outcome of this motion will have an impact on the Debtor's plan.
 
In a previous reporting period, Canpartners also filed an adversary proceeding against 845 S. Flower and Chinatown seeking declaratory relief that Canpartners is not required to release its lien on Chinatown's real property as required under Canpartners' Loan Agreement with 845 S. Flower. 845 S. Flower and Chinatown contest the relief requested in the declaratory relief action and continue to assert that Canpartners is required to release its lien on the Chinatown property once 845 S. Flower obtains an Acceptable Temporary Certificate of Occupancy (as defined in the Loan Agreement).  A status conference on this matter was held on January 8, 2010.  The Court set March 12, 2010 for a hearing on motions for summary judgment to be filed by the parties.  A continued status conference will also be held on that date.  The outcome of this litigation may have an impact on the case.
