MANILA - Cojuangco-owned Hacienda Luisita Inc has &quot;fully complied&quot; with the Supreme Court&#x27;s order to distribute unused funds from the sale of over 500 hectares of its land.In a resolution, the court said Hacienda Luisita already complied with its order to distribute to 6,296 land reform farm worker-beneficiaries unspent funds from the P1.33-billion sale of its 580.51-hectare land.Of the said estate, 500 hectares were converted to non-agricultural use while the remaining portion was acquired by the government through expropriation for the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway.This after the Supreme Court&#x27;s designated three-member audit panel found that Hacienda Luisita&#x27;s legitimate corporate expenses from 1998 to 2011, the taxes it paid, expenses it incurred related to the sale, and the 3-percent share already distributed to the beneficiaries “far exceed the proceeds of the sale” of the subject lot.This means that &quot;there is no more unspent balance available for distribution,&quot; the court said.The order for an audit was incorporated in the Supreme Court&#x27;s decision in 2012 to distribute Hacienda Luisita&#x27;s 4,915-hectare agricultural lands to the original 6,296 beneficiaries.

This means that "there is no more unspent balance available for distribution," the court said.
