The stuff you really want to know starts on page 16. But for those of you who are impatient, here's the list of Circuit City's Top Five Creditors:

1. 
   
   Hewlett Packard $118,797,964


2. 
   
   Samsung $115,925,716


3. 
   
   Sony $60,009,803


4. 
   
   Zenith $41,162,162


5. 
   
   Toshiba $17,919,395

Keen CE retail hawks will notice that Toshiba is out less than a third of what CC owes Sony, and a tenth of what HP's holding the bag for. That likely speaks well to Toshiba's risk management, since by all accounts they turned off the tap for Circuit City six months ago, after Blockbuster withdrew their takeover bid.

For that matter, look how comparatively little many CE brands were exposed. Sharp is only owed $7 million, Onkyo $4.2 million, and Klipsch $3.5 million. Peanuts, really. It's a Well Known Fact that suppliers had been tightening the screws for some time, which ultimately contributed to hastening CC's demise.
