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.       Other long-term liabilities had consisted of deferred tax assets and
         liabilities, net. Deferred tax assets and liabilities had been
         recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
         differences between carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and
         liabilities. The Debtor adjusted the recorded amounts to zero based
         upon the expected outcome of Chapter 11 proceedings.
