Fox 31 (KDVR) has reported that Ultimate Electronics, a Colorado based company, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Wednesday. Its parent company, Ultimate Acquisitions, filed bankruptcy papers in Delaware and released at statement that based the filing on a “significant downturn” in sales at some stores as well as the refusal of “some wholesalers to supply merchandise on credit.” At the time of the filing, the company, which bases its operations out of Thornton, Colorado, owed its largest secured creditor nearly $65 million. The company hopes to streamline operations at its 46 stores, 9 in Colorado, and hasn’t said which stores, if any, will have to close.
The Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts explains that Chapter 11 bankruptcy involves a debtor proposing a “plan of reorganization to keep its business alive and pay creditors over time.” It is primarily used by businesses to create a plan for paying creditors. The purpose of Chapter 11 is to pay off debts and ultimately keep the business operational. A bankruptcy filing like the one filed by Ultimate Electronics is a complicated matter that requires the expertise of a bankruptcy attorney.
