                  NOTES TO SEPTEMBER MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT


The information contained herein is unaudited.

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.       Deferred financing costs represent costs incurred in connection with
         placing pre-petition debt instruments. Deferred financing costs are
         being amortized to interest expense over the term of the applicable
         debt instrument.

2.       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 basis of assets and
         liabilities. The Debtor has not recorded adjustments to these amounts
         pending the outcome of Chapter 11 proceedings.

3.       The Debtor has ceased recording accruals for distributions on its
         Trust Preferred securities. Historically, these accruals for these
         distributions were charged to "interest expense and other financing
         costs."

4.       Accounts Receivable represents pre-petition total hold-backs by
         Paymentech, Inc., the Debtor's credit card processing agent against
         pre-petition customer deposits. Detail for such hold-backs has not
         been received from Paymentech, Inc.
