XI.  QUESTIONNAIRE

		No	Yes
1.	Has the debtor-in-possession made any payments on its pre-petition unsecured debt, except as have been authorized by the court?  If "Yes", explain below:	X
	N/A
		No	Yes

	N/A
3.	State what progress was made during the reporting period toward filing a plan of reorganization
	The Debtor and its management continue to formulate the Debtor's plan of reorganization.
4.	Describe potential future developments which may have a significant impact on the case:
	There is a pending motion to appoint a chapter 11 trustee.  If that motion is granted, it would significantly impact this case.  The Debtor (and its related debtor entities) have a new financial advisor, C.T. Moffitt & Company, and Chief Restructuring Officer, Charles T. Moffitt, that were employed pursuant to Court order entered on August 27, 2010.  The Debtor (and its related entities) employed National Securities Corp. as their investment banker pursuant to Court order entered on August 26, 2010.  The Debtor (and its related entities) believe that the employment of their new financial advisor, CRO and investment banker will assist the Debtors in reorganizing their bankruptcy cases by, among other things, enabling the Debtors to attempt to obtain exit financing.
5.	Attach copies of all Orders granting relief from the automatic stay that were entered during the reporting period.
	Please see Exhibit V attached hereto, which includes a copy of the order granting Merchant Automotive Group's relief from stay motion (entered on July 30, 2010), as well as a copy of the entered order denying the Debtors' motion for reconsideration re the granting of the relief from stay motion (entered on August 2, 2010).  Both orders involve the same property.
