Abstract
Abstract A method for restructuring an excessive underlying mortgage in excess of its current market value so that the value of the restructured underlying mortgage and the property to which it attaches exceeds the values prior to the restructuring. The method determines an existing underlying mortgage utilizing parameters which include a principal amount, a maturity date, an interest rate and payment periods. Thereafter, a first market value mortgage portion, which is substantially equal to the current mortgage value of the existing mortgage, and a second excess portion, which is the difference between the remaining principal balance of the existing underlying mortgage and the first market value portion, is determined. As such, the existing underlying mortgage is transferred into or replaced by the first market value portion and the second excess portion so that the principal of the remaining underlying mortgage is, in a most preferred form of the invention, substantially the same as the total of the principals of the first market value portion and the second excess portion. Thereafter, each shareholder's amount and percentage of liability in respect of the assessment in accordance with the number of shares owned by each shareholder is calculated.

A method for implementing by a computer, a restructuring exchange of an excessive debt defined by an underlying mortgage on a property having a property value so that the total amount of the restructured debt remains substantially the same as a remaining unpaid principal balance of the underlying mortgage prior to the restructuring exchange, said property being owned by a plurality of shareholders each owning at least one share defining for each said shareholder a pro rata portion of the property and each holding a proprietary lease on a predetermined portion of the property and each said shareholder paying a periodic assessment representing the shareholder's pro rata share of a periodic payment due on the underlying mortgage, said method comprising: determining a remaining unpaid principal balance of the underlying mortgage; determining a current desired mortgage amount which is less than the value of the property; defining a desired mortgage secured by the property and having a principal equal to the current desired mortgage amount; calculating an excess portion of the underlying mortgage by subtracting the current desired mortgage amount from the remaining unpaid principal balance of the underlying mortgage; defining an excess portion mortgage secured by an assessment on shareholders in the amount of the excess portion mortgage which in turn is secured by a first lien on the shares and proprietary lease of each said shareholder and having a principal equal to the excess portion of the underlying mortgage; transforming the underlying mortgage into a restructured debt by exchanging the underlying mortgage for a combination of the desired mortgage amount and the excess portion mortgage, whereby a sum of the principals of the desired mortgage and excess portion mortgage is substantially the same as the unpaid principal balance of the existing underlying mortgage; calculating by said computer for each shareholder: (a) a periodic payment representing each shareholder's pro rata portion of a periodic payment due on the desired mortgage; and (b) a periodic payment representing each shareholder's pro rata portion of a periodic payment due on the excess portion mortgage.
