Gerry:
Must disclose.
Probably should research and point out that per California law (Business & Professions Code or Civil Code), these are trust funds, at least what has been paid by an owner for payment to a subcontractor.
It isn't an exemption issue if the money isn't there on the filing date.
Maybe a fraudulent transfer issue, but that is why the trust fund angle is important.
Now, let's hear from the trustees!
