BACKGROUND

3. CRI supplies digital video, signage and audio equipment to movie theaters. Debtors are in

the business of owning movie theaters. CRI and Debtors have had an on-going, growing business

relationship for approximately three years. On August 20, 2019, CRI and Debtors entered into a

contract under which Debtors1 agreed to buy a great deal of state-of-the-art video, signage and

audio equipment from CRI (collectively the “Goods”) to be installed at one of Debtors’ theaters

located at 1027 West Addison Street, Chicago, Illinois 60613. The equipment would serve all of

the theater’s displays and audio needs. Given its lengthy nature, a description of that equipment

is contained in the Declaration of Will Logan at ¶ 2, attached as Exhibit A. On January 31, 2020,

Debtors and CRI entered into a change order. The net change was a reduction in purchase price,

bringing the total aggregate value of the Goods to $502,741.66 before taxes. With taxes, the total

aggregate value of the Goods is $533,913.15. See Logan Declaration at ¶ 3, Exhibit A.

4. In the twenty (20) days preceding the Petition Date, Debtors received approximately ninety

percent (90%) of the value of the Goods (the “Received Goods”) that CRI sold to them in the

ordinary course of Debtors’ theater business. Declaration of Will Logan at ¶3. The total aggregate

value of the Received Goods, including taxes, is $481,298.06. Declaration of Will Logan at ¶3.

A portion of the Received Goods were dropped shipped to the Wrigleyville Theater on April 14,

2020. Declaration of Christopher “Topher” Vessels at ¶ 3. Remaining portions of the Received

Goods were delivered on April 21, 2020 to the Wrigleyville Theater and installed on April 21, 22,

23 and 24, 2020. Id.

5. As of the date of this Motion, CRI has not received payment for the Received Goods.

1 All three Debtors have included CRI as one of their 20 Largest Creditors. See DN 02 Case Nos. 20-14695-LMI, 20-14696-LMI and 20-14699-LMI, respectively.

RELIEF REQUESTED

6. CRI respectfully requests that this Court allow CRI’s administrative expense claim in the

amount of $481,298.06 for the Goods pursuant to section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code.

7. Section 503(b)(9) provides, in pertinent part:

After notice and a hearing, there shall be allowed, administrative expenses . . . [for] the value of any goods received by the debtor within 20 days before the date of commencement of a case under this title in which the goods have been sold to the debtor in the ordinary course of such debtor’s business.

8. Debtors received the Goods, valued at $481,298.06 within the 20 days prior to the Petition

Date, as evidenced by the Declarations of Mr. Logan and Mr. Vessels, attached as Exhibits A and

B.

9. CRI sold the Goods to Debtors in the ordinary course of Debtors’ business but has not

received payment from Debtors for the Goods. Accordingly, CRI is entitled to an allowed

administrative expense against Debtors in the aggregate amount of $481,298.06.

10. CRI, according to the Debtors’ schedules, has a claim against the respective bankruptcy

estates in the amount of $638,622.21. It agrees to adjust this amount by its administrative expense

claim if this Court approves of the same. CRI reserves its right to assert claims against Debtors

for amounts not contemplated by this Motion or allowed by the Court pursuant to §503(b)(9),

including to adjust the amount of its unsecured claim that the Debtors listed in their schedules as

$638,622.21. Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3003.

WHEREFORE, Creative Realities, Inc. respectfully requests that the Court enter an order

that (i) allows Creative Realities, Inc.’s administrative expense claim in the amount of $481,298.06

pursuant to §503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) directs the immediate payment of this sum to

CRI in accordance with the debtors’ Chapter 11 Plan for payment of ordinary course administrative

expense claims, and (iii) grants such other and further relief as may be just and proper.
