The US Trustee has asked us for further details on the amount we reported, and we intend to provide them with the attached allocation schedule. However, we anticipate that the US Trustee will also require that we provide the details of each vendor(s) paid that comprise the amounts reported in the allocation schedule. So, could you please prepare and send me a list of each of disbursement reported in each of the categories. The data that we will need to report is:\n\n-Date -Payee Name\n\n-Purpose (which I think can be the category identified in our allocation schedule (i.e. Travel,\n\nmeals, etc.)\n\n-Amount -Check#\n\nPlease let me know if you have any questions or want to discuss.\n\nThank you.\n\nRegards,\n\nMatthew R.

Since Miles and his wife are the primary residents at the CT house, notwithstanding their daughter or others might also consume, but primarily it is Miles and his wife at the house full-time and it is more conservative and easier to allocate that way.\n\n2) Security- Increased to 100%. The primary reason that security has been retained is directly related to Miles, again, notwithstanding they might by directly assigned to his wife if she leaves, etc.\n\n3) Utilities- Increased to 50%. Again, same explanation as the meals. For the most part it is Miles & his wife occupying the CT property. We did remove the cost of the Sherry's internet that was previously included.\n\n4) Housekeeper- Changed the description from Repairs & Maintenance to more accurately classify the expense in this line item. Also, we increased the allocation % to 50% similar to the meals and utilities.\n\n5) Insurance- Changed allocation to 0% since it pertained solely to The Sherry.\n\nIn our humble opinion, it is best to be more conservative (higher allocations attributable to Miles) than the alternative. Please let us know if you have any questions or if we should plan a call to discuss. Alternatively, if our changes are acceptable, then we can update the operating report that is due to be filed today.\n\nThank you.\n\nMatthew R.

Trustee）要求我们提供关于所报告金额的更多详情，我们打算向他们提供随附的分摊明细表。然而，我们预计美国破产受托人还将要求我们提供构成该分摊明细表中所报金额的每笔供应商付款详情。因此，能否请您准备并向我发送一份在每个类别中所报告的各项支出的清单。我们需要报告的数据为：\n\n-日期 -收款人姓名\n\n-用途（我认为可以是我们在分摊明细表中确定的类别，即差旅、\n\n餐饮等）\n\n-金额 -支票号\n\n如果您有任何疑问或想讨论，请告知我。\n\n谢谢。\n\n此致，\n\nMatthew R.
