FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW

FRANK L. KURTZ, Bankruptcy Judge.

THIS MATTER having come on for hearing before the Honorable Frank L. Kurtz, United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Eastern District of Washington by telephone conference on June 1, 2015, the Debtors appearing by and through their attorney of record JAMES P. HURLEY of Hurley & Lara, the U.S. Trustee represented by GARY DYER, the Unsecured Creditors Committee being represented by PAUL LARSON of Larson, Berg & Perkins, Columbia State Bank being represented by DAVID CRISWELL of Ball Janik, and Zions Agricultural Finance/U.S. Bank being represented by BRIAN WALKER of Ogden, Murphy, Wallace, and the Court having considered the Debtor's First Amended Disclosure Statement and First Amended Plan of Reorganization filed in this matter and the Stipulations between Columbia State Bank and the Debtor, Zions Agricultural Finance/U.S. Bank and the Debtor, and the Unsecured Creditors Committee and the Debtor, and the argument of counsel and the testimony of Jeffrey Behling, the Court now makes the following:

FINDINGS OF FACT

1. Debtor's First Amended Plan of Reorganization was filed January 14, 2015 and was submitted to creditors and other parties in interest; and

2. That subject to the terms of the Stipulations between Columbia State Bank and the Debtor, Zions Agricultural Finance/U.S. Bank and the Debtor, and the Unsecured Creditors Committee and the Debtor, the Plan has been accepted in writing by the creditors and equity security holders whose acceptance is required by law; and

3. The provisions of Chapter 11 of the United States Code have been complied with and the Plan has been proposed in good faith and not by any means forbidden by law; and

4. That (a) each holder of a claim or interest has accepted the Plan or will receive or retain under the Plan property of a value, as of the effective date of the Plan, that is not less than the amount that such holder would receive or retain if the Debtor was liquidated under Chapter 7 of the Code on such date, or (b) the Plan does not discriminate unfairly, and is fair and equitable with respect to each class of claims or interests that is impaired under, and has not accepted the Plan; and

5. All payments made or promised by the Debtor, or by a person issuing securities or acquiring property under the Plan, or by any other person for services or for costs and expenses in, or in connection with, the Plan and incident to the case, have been fully disclosed to the Court and are reasonable and are hereby approved or, if to be fixed after confirmation of the Plan, will be subject to approval of the Court; and

6. Confirmation of the Plan is not likely to be followed by liquidation or the need for further financial reorganization of the Debtor; and

7. That pursuant to the Plan, the following acts or events constitute substantial consummation of the Plan: Seventy-five (75) days following confirmation, provided the Debtor has made all installments provided by this Plan to be paid within that time; and

8. Creditors were given Notice of Confirmation and no objections thereto were made, or if made, have been resolved or overruled and it is proper that Debtor's Plan be confirmed subject to the three Stipulations set forth above.

Based upon the foregoing Findings of Fact, the Court now makes the following:

5. The identity, qualifications and affiliations of the persons who are to be managers of the Debtor after confirmation of the Plan have been fully disclosed, and the appointment of such persons to such offices or the continued appointment of such persons to such offices, or their continuance therein, is equitable and consistent with the interest of the creditors and equity security holders and with public policy; and
