                         STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL AFFAIRS

Unless otherwise indicated, data is as of the close of business on October 19,
2001 (the "Petition Date").

The Debtor has used its best efforts to compile the information set forth in
this Statement of Financial Affairs from its books and records maintained in the
ordinary course of business. The Debtor reserves the right to amend this
Statement of Financial Affairs as additional information becomes available.

Certain information set forth in this Statement of Financial Affairs is
duplicative of information previously disclosed in the chapter 11 petitions or
related first day papers filed by the debtors and debtors in possession in the
chapter 11 cases jointly administered with the chapter 11 case of Debtor
American Classic Voyages Co., Case Number 01-10954 (collectively, "AMCV"). In
the course of preparing this Statement of Financial Affairs, the Debtor reviewed
and, where appropriate, revised such information, to the best of its ability, to
reflect postpetition accounting adjustments made according to the Debtor's
normal accounting practices.

The presentation of financial data has been prepared as part of the Debtor's
annual tax filing with the Internal Revenue Service. The tax filings were the
only manner in which financial data was prepared on a consolidating basis for
all Debtor subsidiaries. This information is unaudited. Previously, financial
information was prepared on a consolidated basis for all debtors or for certain
groups of debtors. Consolidated financial statements for American Classic
Voyages Co., and for certain other subsidiaries was audited by the independent
auditors listed in item 19b. Differences between the audited consolidated
financial statements of American Classic Voyages Co. and the information
presented in these schedules for each debtor and non-debtor on a consolidated
basis relates primarily to differences between tax-basis and book-basis
depreciation expense.
