    X,
    The wind up value of PSH will be zero for shareholders and I expect the banks will get less than 32c in the dollar.
    Consider what the bank appointed reciever will have to work with;

    Assets;
    1) The landfill stock at the quarry.
    2) The quarry itself
    ( These are likely to be sold together as an operation but with no market for limestone, I guess for about $20m, Cableguy would have a better idea)
    3)The land at Osbourne say $10m
    4)The salvage value of Osbourne ,say $10m
    5)The bicarb and soda Ash stock ,say $10m
    Total of about $50m

    Liabilities;
    (in order of priority)
    1) Recievers fees $2m
    2) Redundancies for the 200 long term staff, say 200 x $80,000 each = $16m
    3)Demolition and remediation of Osborne $6m
    Total of about $24m

    I don't know whether the defined benefits super fund is fully funded.

    Shortfall;
    Debt of about $80m minus nett real assets of $26 = $54m

    Even if my guesses are way out (I would welcome better informed guesses) the banks will take a big loss and shareholders will get nothing.
