Contacted customers that required additional proof of delivery on payments past due which were provided to get payments scheduled. Customers have paid on some of these and they are looking at the remainder should be receiving payments soon. This has been normal course of business with some of the larger retailers the Company sells to. 2. A few of our customers have not paid due to the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, we having been working with them and should be receiving payment from them soon. 3. The collectables are being reviewed on a weekly basis. Adjustments will be made when payments are received. 4. In August we transferred $134,305.55 to a Non-Trade Receivable Account as this is the total amount of prepetition Account Receivables for Black & Decker, Vermont American Magna, and Aronson Campbell. These customers have pre-petition balances in Accounts Payable and would like to have these amounts offset. 5. MT Synergy had a balance on AR of $82,872.14, this balance has been transferred to a Loans Receivable account, they are being set up on a payment plan. Does the debtor have any accounts receivable due from an officer, director, partner, or other insider of the debtor? On the Balance sheet in a separate line item there are Notes Receivable from Shareholders. The totals are not reflected in the above A/R aging.

Case No. 01-31609-11 Jore Corporation Rule 2015 Report for the month ending September 30, 2001 Narrative Report Gross sales for the month of September 2001 were $7.0 million, or approximately 14% more than the previous month. All of the increased sales is to the Company's largest three customers. Jore's business is significantly seasonal, where 75 percent of annual sales are shipped in the third and fourth quarters of the year. The Company's backlog of unfilled sales orders was $13 million at September 30, 2001. September's 2001 gross profit, at 36% of gross sales, was significantly improved over previous months of the year due to increasing production volumes and efficiencies. Operating expenses for the month of September 2001 increased 6% from the previous month from increased cooperative advertising, and new customer acquisition costs for Lowe's. Sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase in future months along with increased sales. Interest expense increased to $327,000 for the for the month of September due to higher average bank borrowings under the Company's debtor-in-possession facility. The Company expects borrowings under this facility will exceed $40 million at the end of October, then begin to decline over the remainder of the year. Interest expense on the Company's long-term debt is not accruing currently because, based on recent asset appraisals, it will not be required to be paid to the lenders. Bankruptcy administration expenses include amounts paid or due to professionals, primarily legal counsel of the interested parties in Jore's bankruptcy case. These expenses are expected to decline slightly in future months as the case progresses to plan confirmation. Nonrecurring expenses in September include employee overtime premiums, expedited freight charges, and purchase price variances. These costs were incurred because of liquidity limitations earlier this year, and generally would not have been incurred in the normal course of business. Inventories increased to more than $22 million at the end of September to meet seasonal sales demand. Other current assets declined from draw-downs of supplier pre-payments. Post-petition liabilities increased from increasing production levels, and additional supplier terms. Pre-petition liabilities remained approximately level from August to September. Long-term debt decreased from adequate assurance payments in September. On September 28, 2001, the Company received a non-binding offer to sell substantially all of its assets for cash and notes payable, and the assumption of certain post-petition liabilities. The price is subject to change pending the completion of due diligence which is expected in late October. The transaction is expected to be implemented through a sale under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, and will be subject to higher and better offers under the Bankruptcy Code-authorized bidding process. Bidding procedures were approved the the Bankruptcy Court in early September. The Company expects to file an amended disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court in mid-October.
