                  NOTES TO DECEMBER 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. Net unamortized deferred
         financing costs were reclassed to reduce the net carrying value of the
         related debt held as a liability subject to compromise.

2.       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.

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.       Pre-petition hold-backs by Paymentech, Inc., the Debtor's credit card
         processing agent, were reclassed to liabilities subject to compromise
         in order to reduce the net liability for pre-petition customer
         deposits.

5.       The Debtor further reduced the carrying value of its net fixed asset
         to reflect the expected fair market value.
