                   SCHEDULE OF CASH RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS
Amounts reported should be per the debtor's books,  not the bank statement.  The
beginning cash should be the ending cash from the prior month or, if this is the
first  report,  the amount  should be the balance on the date the  petition  was
filed.  The amounts  reported in the "CURRENT  MONTH - ACTUAL" column must equal
the  sum  of  the  four  bank  account  columns.  The  amounts  reported  in the
"PROJECTED" columns should be taken from the SMALL BUSINESS INITIAL REPORT (FORM
IR-1). Attach copies of the bank statements and the cash disbursements  journal.
The total disbursements listed in the disbursements journal must equal the total
disbursements  reported on this page. A bank reconciliation must be attached for
each account. [See MOR-1 (CON'T)]
