Debtor Name:  Fruehauf Trailer Corporation  
Case Number:  96-1563 (PJW)

On April 16, 1997,  Fruehauf Trailer Corporation ("FTC" or "the
Debtor") completed the sale of all of its domestic operations
and operating assets to Wabash National Corporation ("the Asset
Sale").  In conjunction with the Asset Sale, the number of FTC
employees was reduced from 1,185 to five full time equivalents
("FTEs").  None of these five FTEs were employees of FTC prior
to the Asset Sale.  In addition, the historical records,
including accounting records, were included with the assets
sold.  Therefore, without such historical records and
institutional memory, FTC has been unable to prepare accurate
and meaningful financial statements prior to June 1, 1997. 

On June 1, 1997 the remaining assets and financial documents
were transferred from Indianapolis, Indiana to the current FTC
headquarters located in Corona del Mar, California.  Henceforth,
the Debtor began "fresh start" accounting procedures and
financial statements.  The Debtor, to the best of its ability
and utilizing the information available, has attempted to
reconstruct and substantiate such financial statements.  The due
diligence involved in preparation of the "fresh start" financial
documents includes: closing and reconciling bank accounts;
consolidating and negotiating more favorable insurance coverage,
including seeking potential refunds; seeking potential
environmental recoveries from various state funds; assessing
valuations on the various properties that remain with the
Debtor; and verifying and scheduling the numerous payables
outstanding.  The Debtor continues to receive invoices for
services rendered and/or goods received for the period
subsequent to filing bankruptcy and prior to the Asset Sale
(between October 8, 1996 and April 16, 1997).  In addition, the
Debtor continues to receive various refunds of monies from tax
authorities and other entities, albeit at de minimus amounts. 
Thus, the financial statements as contained herein may be
subject to modification due to the aforementioned effects or
other causes not currently known.  In addition, the financial
statements contained herein are unaudited.

The September 1997 financial statements have been restated to
reflect additional and more accurate information with respect to
certain assets of the Debtor.  Due to such modifications, a cash
flows statement will not reflect accurate data, and thus will
not be presented.

Due to the lack of accounting data, no material change in
financial activity and lack of any information to the contrary,
and in the interests of consolidating administrative functions,
no additional documentation will be provided related to the
