Delaware Machinery doesn't have to pay $845,512 in taxes
http://www.thestarpress.com/article/...EWS01/12270322
MUNCIE -- The insolvency of auto-supplier Delaware Machinery & Tool will cost local government units $845,512 in unpaid taxes -- but at least they'll get more than $200,000. When the metalworking business was sold this month to Cleveland-based Dan. T. Moore Co. for $12.7 million, the sale proceeds were not enough to pay all of the company's secured creditors, which are owed about $26 million, let alone the unsecured creditors, owed another $2.5 million. Delaware County Treasurer John Dorer's attorney, Joseph Hunter, filed a motion in court claiming the company, which was placed in receivership, owed $845,512 in personal property taxes, interest and penalties for the years 2009 and 2010. But Delaware Circuit Court 1 Judge Marianne Vorhees agreed with Indianapolis attorney David Powlen, representing the court-appointed receiver. Powlen said that personal property taxes on equipment and inventory -- unlike real property taxes on land and buildings -- do not become a lien when assessed. "The county has a statutory lien on the real estate for the property taxes, but the personal property taxes were an unsecured lien, (and) no unsecured creditors received funds," Hunter told The Star Press. Still, Dorer said the county stands to collect $211,512 in unpaid real property taxes from the sale proceeds. That will be distributed to local taxing units, such as the city, county and schools. "I'm glad it sold, and I'm glad it's still in business," Dorer said. He added the company is calling back employees during its rebound under the receiver and the new owner. Employment at Delaware Machinery, just south of downtown, has been climbing since receiver Dennis Kebrdle was appointed. Employment is now approaching 90, compared to 61 in February. Moore renamed the Muncie company Delaware Dynamics LLC. Delaware Machinery has been in business more than 60 years, and is a major tooling supplier for domestic and international auto makers. The firm's comprehensive capabilities enable it to design, manufacture and test customer tooling, some of which weighs more than 200,000 pounds. A related company, B&B Tool and Die, was sold earlier for about $3 million. Combined with the sale of Delaware Machinery, that still means creditors will lose $13 million or so. Dan T. Moore Co. employs 350 people and has annual sales of $110 million. It produces proprietary products including chemicals to improve auto tires, inserts for advanced combat helmets and heat shields for autos. It also owns a marina, a restaurant and five tons of iron ore in Tennessee. It is developing conversion kits for cars to run on either natural gas or gasoline. The 2008 global financial downturn that included the automotive industry contributed to Delaware Machinery's inability to pay its creditors. |
