The information contained herein is unaudited.

All assets presented herein continue to be held at historical book values, net
of accumulated depreciation or amortization. The Company has not attempted to
adjust its books to reflect fair market values of its assets, nor has it
attempted to adjust asset book values to reflect any potential impairments.

Liabilities included in these financial statements reflect amounts known by the
Company to have been incurred. The Company has listed in prior filings with the
United States Trustee potential additional claims it believes may be asserted
against the Company.

To the best of the Debtor's knowledge and belief, based on currently available
information, all Federal income and payroll taxes due and owing have been paid.

1.   Other long-term liabilities consists of deferred tax assets and
     liabilities, net. Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been recognized
     for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between
     carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. The Debtor
     has not recorded adjustments to these amounts pending the outcome of
     Chapter 11 proceedings.
