Below is Memefan's addition
Ivy's summary is on point, i think it's important for all to understand that the estate won't be "debt-free" at the end of 2012. The Sony/ATV debt (300M before it was refinanced) is still there...The estate seems to have a payment schedule with Sony that wasn't made public. I am sure it is being paid, we are just not privy to all the information.
We can speculate payments are taken directly from Sony projects' royalties, because I looked over all RECEIPTS, and there is nothing from Sony. That's what led me to believe payments are taken directly to pay off the 300M loan.
Interesting Tidbits:
1) Schedule A (page 3 of 65):
Trust, Bonds & Stocks were undervalued in the first account by $ 144M. Probate referee had originally valued these items at $75M, but their value were adjusted to $219M.
2) Schedule A
MJ / Estate has a 25% interest in GR&F Colfax Partners (I was unable to find much info on the company)
3) Schedule A:
No principal payment on the two smaller loans (250K & 235K) Katherine Jackson had received last year
4) Schedule A:
Last year, and again this year, MJ's 50% interested in Sony/ATV is listed as N/A.
Speculation: if we add the $500M estimated value of MJ's S/A share to his property on hand at the end of December 2011, we get close to $1B (not taking liabilities into consideration). Keep in mind, Jackson International, MJJ Artistic AND Neverland are listed at a nominal value of $1.
5) Schedules A & I (p52 of 65):
The estate dissolved / merged the following companies:
History Tours, History Tours ii, 99 Spanish Gate Drive, Branson Media group, Monte Cristo Employment, Nation Comics, Triumph Multimedia Corporation, MJJ Legacy, MJJ Kingdom,TTC Touring Corporation and MJJ Prodution LLC (not the corporation).
,
6) Schedule J (p55 of 65)
Loan Principal balance of $22M as of December 31st, 2009. At the end of December 2011, they had accrued interest on that loan for $67K.
Speculation: This might be the Mijac loan
Schedule G (p48 of 65) shows loan payment of $34M for the year.
7) I haven't been able to locate the $30M that was transferred to the MJ Family Trust. It might have been done after, I can't recall when the request was submitted to the probate judge.
8) Schedule C-9 (p65 of 65)
Gross revenue in MJ ATV Trust: $17M and $9.5M used to pay debt
9) Schedule K (p56 of 65)
Last year, MJ.com sold 550 copies of the Opus and paid $82.5K in royalty to the estate
Funny: On december 7th 2011, $120K was deposited in estate account. They don't know where/who it's from so the bank is researching.
10) Schedule G (p45 of 65)
Executors compensation appears in Other Business Expenses 2.9M & in Other Disbursements 5.2M for a total of 8.1M
