Exhibit I  - Third Amended Joint Plan of Liquidation for Alpart Jamaica Inc. and
             Kaiser Jamaica Corporation

                                  INTRODUCTION

     The Debtors are seeking approval of the Plan, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit I. This Disclosure Statement is submitted by the Debtors in
connection with the solicitation of acceptances of the Plan.

     The confirmation of a plan of reorganization or liquidation, which is the
vehicle for satisfying the rights of holders of claims against and interests in
a debtor, is the overriding purpose of a chapter 11 case. Chapter 11 may be used
to either reorganize or conduct an orderly liquidation of a debtor's business.
The Plan provides for the orderly liquidation and dissolution of the Debtors.
The primary objectives of the Plan are to:

     -    maximize the value of the ultimate recoveries to all creditor groups
          on a fair and equitable basis;

     -    settle, compromise or otherwise dispose of certain Claims and other
          disputes on terms that the Debtors believe to be fair and reasonable
          under the circumstances and in the best interests of their respective
          Estates and creditors and Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corporation
          ("KACC"), as the sole stockholder of each Debtor; and

     -    effectuate the orderly liquidation and dissolution of the Debtors.

     The Plan provides for, among other things, (a) the classification and
treatment of Claims and Interests; (b) the establishment of the Distribution
Trust to make distributions in accordance with the Plan; (c) the creation and
administration of the Trust Accounts; and (d) the liquidation of the Debtors.

     PLEASE REFER TO THE CHART BEGINNING ON PAGE 14 OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT
FOR A SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED TREATMENT OF EACH CLASS OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS.

     If the Plan is confirmed and consummated in accordance with its terms,
among other things:

     -    holders of Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims
          and Allowed Priority Claims in Class 1 will receive Cash from the
          Priority Claims Trust Account in the amount of their respective
          Allowed Claim without interest or penalty;

     -    holders of Allowed 9-7/8% Senior Note Claims and 10-7/8% Senior Note
          Claims in Subclass 3A:

          -    if both Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B vote to accept the Plan, will
               receive from the Unsecured Claims Trust Account their respective
               Pro Rata Share of the Public Note Distributable Consideration
               (i.e., (a) the Public Note Percentage of the Cash in the
               Unsecured Claims Trust Account plus (b) Cash in the amount of the
               aggregate fees payable to the 9-7/8% Senior Note Indenture

               for the Ad Hoc Group in accordance with the Plan up to an
               aggregate not to exceed $1.5 million) remaining after first

               Trustee from the Public Note Distributable Consideration:

               -    the payment to be made to the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond
                    Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the
                    7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Plan
                    (the "7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds Payment");

               -    the payment of the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
                    (including attorneys' fees) incurred and paid by the
                    plaintiffs in the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute in
                    connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and the chapter 11
                    cases of the Other Kaiser Debtors, including in connection
                    with the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute and that certain
                    civil action currently pending before the United States

                    and numbered 03-0797, in accordance with the Plan, up to an
                    amount which, when aggregated with any amount payable under
                    the comparable provision of the KAAC/KFC Plan, will not
                    exceed $500,000 (the "7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs'
                    Expense Payments");
<PAGE>
               -    the payment of the aggregate fees and expenses of the 9-7/8%
                    Senior Note Indenture Trustee, the 10-7/8% Senior Note
                    Indenture Trustee and the counsel for the Ad Hoc Group in
                    accordance with the Plan, whether or not in excess of $1.5
                    million (the "Senior Notes Fee Payments"); and

               -    the payment of $8.0 million to be made to the Senior
                    Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the

          -    if either Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B fails to accept the Plan,
               will receive that portion of the Public Note Distributable
               Consideration to which the Bankruptcy Court determines they are
               entitled, provided the distributions ultimately made to a holder
               of an Allowed Senior Note Claim will be reduced by such holder's
               proportional share of the Senior Notes Fee Payments and, if the
               Bankruptcy Court determines that holders of Allowed Senior
               Subordinated Note Claims are not entitled to any portion of the
               Subclass 3A Distributable Consideration, the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue
               Bond Payment (or a reservation in lieu thereof), if any, and any
               7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs' Expense Payments;

     -    holders of Allowed Senior Subordinated Note Claims in Subclass 3B:

          -    if both Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B vote to accept the Plan, will
               receive their respective Pro Rata Share of $8.0 million to be
               paid to the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee, provided
               that any and all fees or expenses payable to the Senior
               Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Senior
               Subordinated Note Indenture will, in all events, be payable
               solely from such $8.0 million; or

          -    if either Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B fails to accept the Plan,
               will receive that portion, if any, of the Public Note
               Distributable Consideration to which the Bankruptcy Court
               determines they are entitled, provided any distributions
               ultimately made to a holder of an Allowed Senior Subordinated
               Note Claim may be reduced by such holder's proportional share of
               any and all fees and expenses payable to the Senior Subordinated
               Note Trustee pursuant to the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture,
               which will, subject to such Trustee's right to seek payment by
               the Debtors of such fees and expenses pursuant to section
               503(b)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, be payable solely from such
               distributions;

     -    Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (the "PBGC"), as the holder of
          the PBGC Claims in Subclass 3C, will receive the PBGC Percentage of
          the Cash in the Unsecured Claims Trust Account; and

     -    holders of Allowed Other Unsecured Claim in Subclass 3D will receive
          their respective Pro Rata Share of the Other Unsecured Claims
          Percentage of the Cash in the Unsecured Claims Trust Account.

As the foregoing indicates, in general, all holders of Claims will have
recourse, if any, only to the Cash in the applicable Trust Accounts. The Debtors
will cease to exist as legal entities following consummation of the Plan. See
"Overview of the Plan -- Summary of Classes and Treatment of Claims and
Interests."

     The requirements for confirmation of the Plan under the Bankruptcy Code,
including the vote of creditors to accept the Plan and certain of the statutory
findings that must be made by the Bankruptcy Court, are described in "Voting and
Confirmation of the Plan." Confirmation of the Plan and the occurrence of the
Effective Date are also subject to a number of significant conditions, which are
set forth in the Plan and summarized in "Answers To Certain Questions About The
Plan And Disclosure Statement -- What must happen before the Plan can be
consummated?" There is no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied or
waived.

      ANSWERS TO CERTAIN QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PLAN AND DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

     The information presented in the answers to the questions set forth below
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of this Disclosure
Statement, including the Plan attached hereto as Exhibit I. ALL CREDITORS
ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER THIS
ENTIRE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, INCLUDING THE PLAN ATTACHED HERETO AS EXHIBIT I,
PRIOR TO SUBMITTING A BALLOT OR BALLOTS TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN.

WHAT IS THIS DOCUMENT AND WHY AM I RECEIVING IT?

     On January 14, 2003, AJI and KJC Filed petitions for relief under chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The reasons the Debtors Filed for such protection are
described under "Certain Events Preceding the Debtors' Chapter 11 Filings." In
connection with their proposed liquidation pursuant to chapter 11, the Debtors
have prepared the Joint Plan of Liquidation attached as Exhibit I to this
Disclosure Statement (i.e., the Plan), which sets forth in detail the proposed
treatment of the Claims of the Debtors' creditors and the Interests of KACC, as
the sole stockholder of the Debtors. This Disclosure Statement describes the
terms of, and certain other material information relating to, the Plan.

     This Disclosure Statement is being delivered to you in connection with the
Debtors' solicitation of votes with respect to the Plan because either (a) you
are the holder of, or have otherwise asserted, a Claim or Claims against either
or both of the Debtors or (b) you are the holder of a 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond.
This Disclosure Statement is intended to provide you with information sufficient
to make an informed to decision as to whether to vote to accept or reject the
Plan (to the extent you are eligible to do so).

AM I ELIGIBLE TO VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN?

     You are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan only if you hold an
Allowed Unsecured Claim (or an Unsecured Claim which has been temporarily
allowed for voting purposes) against one or both Debtors. In accordance with
section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Claims and Priority
Tax Claims have not been classified and thus are excluded from the Classes, and
if you are a holder of an Administrative Claim or Priority Tax Claim, you are
not eligible to vote with respect to the Plan. If you hold a Priority Claim or a
Secured Claim against either Debtor, because you are receiving Cash or property
equal in value to the allowed amount of such Claim, you are deemed to have
accepted the Plan and may not vote with respect to it. While the Plan includes a
proposed settlement of certain claims asserted by holders of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue
Bonds (see "Operations During the Chapter 11 Cases -- 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond
Dispute), such holders do not have Claims against the Debtors and, accordingly,
are not entitled to vote on the Plan. Because such proposed settlement will
affect Other Kaiser Debtors, a motion seeking approval of the settlement will be
Filed, and such holders and other creditors or claimants affected by such
settlement may file an objection to it with the Bankruptcy Court on or prior to
April 5, 2005. See "Voting and Confirmation of the Plan -- Voting Procedures and
Requirements."

WHY SHOULD I VOTE TO ACCEPT THE PLAN?

     The Debtors are, as a result of the sale of their interests in Alumina
Partners of Jamaica, a Delaware general partnership ("Alpart"), no longer
operating entities and possess no assets other than Cash. See "Operations During
the Chapter 11 Cases -- The Sale of the Alpart Interests and Liquidation of AJI
and KJC." As such, the only alternatives to confirmation and consummation of the
Plan are conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases to cases under chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code and the confirmation and consummation of an alternative plan of
liquidation under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors believe that
the confirmation and consummation of the Plan is in the best interests of the
Debtors' stakeholders and is preferable to either alternative.


                                       4
<PAGE>
     CHAPTER 7 LIQUIDATION

     The Debtors believe that the Plan provides for the liquidation of the
Debtors in a manner significantly more efficient than would occur in the event
the Chapter 11 Cases were converted to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy
Code. The Debtors' Estates have already been substantially liquidated and
converted to Cash proceeds, subject only to receipt of the proceeds, if any,
received from the successful prosecution, settlement or collection of Recovery
Actions (the "Recovery Action Proceeds"). The Debtors are not aware of the
existence of any claim against a third party that would constitute a Recovery
Action. Further, the Debtors have been informed that the Creditors' Committee
conducted an analysis of potential preference actions and determined that there
were no viable preference actions concerning payments made by the Debtors. The
Debtors believe that conversion to chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code would result
in additional costs relating to the appointment of a chapter 7 trustee, likely
delays in distributions to all creditors who would be entitled to receive a
distribution under the Plan (thus reducing the present value of such
distributions) and diminished recoveries for holders of Allowed Unsecured
Claims. See "Voting and Confirmation of the Plan -- Confirmation -- Best
Interests Test."

     ALTERNATIVE CHAPTER 11 LIQUIDATION

     The Plan has been negotiated by the Debtors and representatives of certain
of the Debtors' most significant creditors, including the Creditors' Committee
(a committee appointed by the Bankruptcy Court to represent the interests of the
Debtors' unsecured creditors), which has independently concluded that the Plan
is in the best interests of creditors. Therefore, the Debtors believe that
negotiating an alternative plan of liquidation under chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code is unlikely to alter significantly the relative treatment of
Claims. The Debtors believe that negotiating such an alternative plan would
result in additional professional costs in connection with such negotiations,
likely delays in distributions to all creditors who would be entitled to receive
a distribution under the Plan (thus reducing the present value of such
distributions) and potentially diminished recoveries for holders of Allowed
Unsecured Claims.

HOW DO I VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN?

     If you are the holder of an Allowed Unsecured Claim (other than a holder of
a Senior Note Claim or Senior Subordinated Note Claim held through a nominee)
against one or both of the Debtors and are, therefore, entitled to vote on the
Plan, complete, execute and return your Ballot or Ballots in accordance with the
instructions to Logan & Company, Inc., 546 Valley Road, Upper Montclair, New
Jersey 07043 (unless another address is set forth on the preaddressed enveloped
provided to you) on or prior to 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time, on April 5, 2005 (unless
another time or date is identified on your Ballot). If your vote is not received
by that time and date, it will not be counted. If you are the holder of a Senior
Note Claim or Senior Subordinated Note Claim held in the name of a broker,
dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, you must complete and
deliver to such nominee the Ballot or Ballots provided to such holder in order
to vote on the Plan; we urge you to deliver such Ballot or Ballots to your
nominee holder or holders no later than the date identified on such Ballot or
Ballots in order to ensure that your vote will be counted. If you are entitled
to vote and you did not receive a Ballot, received a damaged Ballot or lost your
Ballot, please call the Debtors' voting agent, Logan & Company, at (973)
509-3190. See "Voting and Confirmation of the Plan -- Voting Procedures and
Requirements."

WHAT IF I'M ENTITLED TO VOTE TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN AND DON'T?

     In general, within any particular Class of Claims, only those holders who
actually vote to accept or reject the Plan will affect whether the Plan is
accepted by the requisite holders of Claims in such Class. In order for the Plan
to be accepted by each Subclass of Class 3 (Unsecured Claims), the holders
representing at least two-thirds in dollar amount and a majority in number of
Allowed Claims in each such Subclass held by holders of such Claims who actually
vote to accept or reject the Plan must vote to accept the Plan. Thus, if you
hold an Unsecured Claim, your failure to vote in respect of such Claim will
count as neither a vote for acceptance nor a vote for rejection of the Plan. See
"Voting and Confirmation of the Plan -- Confirmation -- Acceptance or Cramdown."


                                       5
<PAGE>
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE PLAN IS NOT ACCEPTED BY EACH CLASS ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE
PLAN?

     If the holders of each Class of Claims entitled to vote on the Plan (i.e.,
Subclass 3A, Subclass 3B, Subclass 3C and Subclass 3D) reject the Plan, the Plan
will not be confirmed or consummated in its present form. However, as long as
the requisite holders of Claims in at least one such Subclass vote to accept the
Plan, the Debtors may seek confirmation pursuant to the "cramdown" provisions of
the Bankruptcy Code (which will require a determination by the Bankruptcy Court
that that the Plan is "fair and equitable" and "does not discriminate unfairly"
as to each nonaccepting Subclass). The Debtors believe that the Plan satisfies
the "cramdown" provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and, in any case, have reserved
the right to modify the Plan to the extent that confirmation thereunder requires
modification. See "Voting and Confirmation of the Plan -- Confirmation --
Acceptance or Cramdown."

WHAT WILL I ACTUALLY RECEIVE IN RESPECT OF MY CLAIM IF THE PLAN IS CONFIRMED AND
GOES EFFECTIVE?

     If you are the holder of an Allowed Claim against either Debtor, what you
will actually receive, if anything, in respect of such Claim will depend on the
classification of that Claim. For detailed information about the classification
and treatment of creditors under the Plan, see "Overview of the Plan -- Summary
of Classes and Treatment of Claims and Interests."

     Unlike the holders of Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax
Claims, Allowed Priority Claims or Allowed Secured Claims against the Debtors,
holders of Allowed Claims in Subclass 3A, Subclass 3B, Subclass 3C and Subclass
3D will not receive Cash or property in an amount equal to 100% of the amount of
their Claims.

     HOLDERS OF ALLOWED SENIOR NOTE CLAIMS IN SUBCLASS 3A

          If the Plan is accepted by both Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B

     If both Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B vote to accept the Plan, a holder of an
Allowed Senior Note Claim will be entitled to a distribution of its Pro Rata
Share of the Public Note Distributable Consideration remaining after first
giving effect to certain payments by the Distribution Trustee from the Public
Note Distributable Consideration as discussed below. For purposes of the Plan,
(a) the term "Public Note Distributable Consideration" means (i) the Public Note
Percentage of the Cash in the Unsecured Claims Trust Account and (ii) Cash in
the amount of the Senior Notes Fee Payments, up to an aggregate amount not to
exceed $1.5 million (with such amount to be deducted from the Distribution Trust
Assets before the funding of the Unsecured Claims Trust Account); (b) the term
"Public Note Percentage" means (i) 68% less (ii) 68% of the Other Unsecured
Claims Percentage; (c) the term "Other Unsecured Claims Percentage" means the
percentage equal to the ratio of (i) the aggregate amount of all Allowed Other
Unsecured Claims to (ii) the sum of (A) the aggregate amount of all Allowed
Other Unsecured Claims and (B) $1,369,073,000; and (d) the term "Pro Rata Share"
means, when used with reference to a distribution to a holder of an Allowed
Claim in a Subclass of Class 3, that share of the Cash to be distributed on
account of all Allowed Claims in such Subclass so that the ratio of (i)(A) the
amount of Cash to be distributed on account of the particular Allowed Claim to
(B) the amount of such Allowed Claim, is the same as the ratio of (ii)(A) the
aggregate amount of Cash to be distributed on account of all Allowed Claims in
such Subclass to (B) the aggregate amount of all Allowed Claims in such
Subclass.

     The Unsecured Claims Trust Account will be funded with the Debtors' Cash
remaining after (a) the payment of reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred
by the Distribution Trustee in connection with the performance of its duties in
accordance with the Plan and the Distribution Trust Agreement; (b) the
distribution of Cash in accordance with the Plan to holders of Claims having a
higher priority than Claims in Subclass 3A, Subclass 3B, Subclass 3C or Subclass
3D; (c) an allowance for the allocation to, and payment from, the Public Note
Distributable Consideration of the Senior Notes Fee Payments, up to an aggregate
amount not to exceed $1.5 million; and (d) any payment required to be made by
the Debtors to KACC in accordance with the Intercompany Claim Settlement
("Intercompany Settlement Payments"). After the Public Note Distributable
Consideration is calculated as described above, to determine the Cash to be
distributed to holders of Senior Note Claims, the following payments must first
be deducted from the Public Note Distributable Consideration:


                                       6
<PAGE>
     -    the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds Payment;

     -    the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs' Expense Payments;

     -    the Senior Notes Fee Payments, whether or not in excess of $1.5
          million; and

     -    the payment of the $8.0 million to be made to the Senior Subordinated
          Note Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the holders of Senior
          Subordinated Note Claims.

     Accordingly, if the Plan is accepted by both Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B,
the recovery by holders of Allowed Senior Note Claims will depend upon a number
of factors, including:

     -    the amount of Cash ultimately available to the Estates of the Debtors;

     -    the amount of Distribution Trust Expenses;

     -    the amount of Allowed Secured Claims, Allowed Administrative Claims,
          Allowed Priority Claims and Allowed Priority Tax Claims;

     -    the amount of the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds Payment;

     -    the amount of the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs' Expense
          Payments;

     -    the amount of the Senior Notes Fee Payments;

     -    the amount of the Intercompany Settlement Payments, if any; and

     -    the aggregate amount of Allowed Other Unsecured Claims, if any.

See "Overview of the Plan -- Sources and Uses of Cash" for the Debtors' current
estimates of Cash available for distribution to holders of Allowed Senior Note
Claims.

     Pursuant to the KAAC/KFC Plan, if holders of the Senior Note Claims and the
Senior Subordinated Note Claims vote to accept the KAAC/KFC Plan, then an
additional $8.0 million will be paid to the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture
Trustee for the benefit of holders of Senior Subordinated Note Claims, with such
amount to be paid from consideration that would otherwise be distributed to
holders of Allowed Senior Note Claims under the KAAC/KFC Plan.

          If the Plan is rejected by either Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B

     If either Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B fails to accept the Plan, the holders
of 9-7/8% Senior Note Claims and 10-7/8% Senior Note Claims in Subclass 3A will
receive that portion of the Public Note Distributable Consideration to which the
Bankruptcy Court determines they are entitled in respect of such Claims. The
distributions ultimately made to a holder of an Allowed Senior Note Claim will
be reduced by such holder's proportional share of:

     -    the Senior Notes Fee Payments;

     -    any 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs' Expense Payments; and

     -    if the Bankruptcy Court determines that holders of Allowed Senior
          Subordinated Note Claims are not entitled to any portion of the Public
          Note Distributable Consideration, the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Payment
          (or reservation in lieu thereof), if any. See "-- What will I receive
          in respect of my 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond if the Plan is confirmed and
          goes effective and when will I receive it?"

In such event, the recovery by holders of Allowed Senior Notes Claims will
depend on the determination of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the relative
entitlement of the holders of Senior Note Claims and Senior Subordinated Note
Claims to the Public Note Distributable Consideration, as well as the factors
listed above. See "Overview of the Plan -- Sources and Uses of Cash" for the
Debtors' current estimates of Cash available for distribution to holders of
Allowed Senior Note Claims and Allowed Senior Subordinated Note Claims.

     HOLDERS OF ALLOWED SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE CLAIMS IN SUBCLASS 3B

          If the Plan is accepted by both Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B

     If both Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B vote to accept the Plan, a holder of an
Allowed Senior Subordinated Note Claim will receive its Pro Rata Share of $8.0
million (less any fees or expenses payable to the Senior Subordinated Note
Trustee pursuant to the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture).

     Pursuant to the KAAC/KFC Plan, if holders of the Senior Note Claims and the
Senior Subordinated Note Claims vote to accept the KAAC/KFC Plan, then an
additional $8.0 million will be paid to the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture
Trustee for the benefit of holders of Senior Subordinated Note Claims, with such
amount to be paid from consideration that would otherwise be distributed to
holders of Allowed Senior Note Claims under the KAAC/KFC Plan.

          If the Plan is rejected by either Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B

     If either Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B fails to accept the Plan, the holders
of Senior Subordinated Note Claims in Subclass 3B will receive that portion, if
any, of the Public Note Distributable Consideration to which the Bankruptcy
Court determines they are entitled in respect of such Claims, provided any
distributions ultimately made to a holder of an Allowed Senior Subordinated Note
Claim may be reduced by such holder's proportional share of any and all fees and
expenses payable to the Senior Subordinated Note Trustee pursuant to the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture, which will, subject to such Trustee's right to seek
payment by the Debtors of such fees and expenses pursuant to section 503(b)(5)
of the Bankruptcy Code, be payable solely from such distributions. Accordingly,
as with the recoveries by holders of Allowed Senior Notes Claims in the scenario
in which either the Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B fails to accept the Plan, the
recovery by the holders of Allowed Senior Subordinated Note Claims in this
situation will depend on a number of factors, including:

     -    the amount of Cash ultimately available to the Estates of the Debtors;

     -    the amount of Distribution Trust Expenses;

     -    the amount of Allowed Secured Claims, Allowed Administrative Claims,
          Allowed Priority Claims and Allowed Priority Tax Claims;

     -    the amount of the Intercompany Settlement Payments, if any;

     -    the aggregate amount of Allowed Other Unsecured Claims, if any; and

     -    the determination of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the relative
          entitlement of the holders of 9-7/8% Senior Note Claims, 10-7/8%
          Senior Note Claims and Senior Subordinated Note Claims to the Public
          Note Distributable Consideration.

See "Overview of the Plan -- Sources and Uses of Cash" for the Debtors' current
estimates of Cash available for distribution to holders of Allowed Senior Note
Claims and Allowed Senior Subordinated Note Claims.

     THE PBGC, AS THE HOLDER OF THE PBGC CLAIMS IN SUBCLASS 3C

     The PBGC, as holder of the PBGC Claims in Subclass 3C, will receive the
PBGC Percentage of the Cash in the Unsecured Claims Trust Account. For purposes
of the Plan, the term "PBGC Percentage" means (a) 32% less (b) 32% of the Other
Unsecured Claims Percentage. (The treatment of the PBGC Claims in Subclass 3C is
not in conformity with the terms of the PBGC Settlement Agreement because under
the terms of the Plan the PBGC will actually receive slightly less than 32% of
the aggregate distributions being made to Subclasses 3A, 3B and 3C; however, the
PBGC has consented to the treatment of the PBGC Claims in Subclass 3C provided
in the Plan.)

     Accordingly, as with the recoveries by holders of Allowed Senior Note
Claims discussed above, the recovery by the PBGC, as the holder of the PBGC
Claims, will depend upon a number of factors, including:


                                       8
<PAGE>
     -    the amount of Cash ultimately available to the Estates of the Debtors;

     -    the amount of Distribution Trust Expenses;

     -    the amount of Allowed Secured Claims, Allowed Administrative Claims,
          Allowed Priority Claims and Allowed Priority Tax Claims;

     -    the amount of the Intercompany Settlement Payments, if any; and

     -    the aggregate amount of Allowed Other Unsecured Claims, if any.

See "Overview of the Plan -- Sources and Uses of Cash" for the Debtors' current
estimates of Cash available for distribution to the PBGC in respect of the PBGC
Claims in Subclass 3C.

     HOLDERS OF OTHER UNSECURED CLAIMS IN SUBCLASS 3D

     A holder of an Allowed Other Unsecured Claim will receive its Pro Rata
Share of the Other Unsecured Claims Percentage of the Cash in the Unsecured
Claims Trust Account.

     Accordingly, as with the recoveries by holders of Senior Note Claims and by
the PBGC as the holder of the PBGC Claims discussed above, the recoveries by
holder of Other Unsecured Claims will depend upon a number of factors,
including:

     -    the amount of Cash ultimately available to the Estates of the Debtors;

     -    the amount of Distribution Trust Expenses;

     -    the amount of Allowed Secured Claims, Allowed Administrative Claims,
          Allowed Priority Claims and Allowed Priority Tax Claims;

     -    the amount of the Intercompany Settlement Payments, if any.

Although several Other Unsecured Claims have been asserted, the Debtors do not
believe that any of those Claims constitute allowable Claims; however, no
assurance can be given that all such Claims will be disallowed in their
entirety. See "Overview of the Plan -- Sources and Uses of Cash."

WHAT WILL I RECEIVE IF MY CLAIM IS DISPUTED?

     No distributions will be made in respect of any Claim that is Disputed
until that Claim becomes an Allowed Claim, if ever. See "Distributions Under the
Plan -- Treatment of Disputed Claims."

IS THERE A PARTICULAR RECORD DATE FOR DETERMINING WHO WILL BE ENTITLED TO
RECEIVE DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE PLAN IN RESPECT OF AN ALLOWED CLAIM?

     Under the Plan, distributions in respect of an Allowed Claim will be made
only to the holder of that Claim as of the close of business on the Confirmation
Date (the "Distribution Record Date"). Neither the Debtors nor the Distribution
Trustee will recognize any purported transfer of a Claim following the
Distribution Record Date.

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE WHAT I AM ENTITLED TO RECEIVE IN RESPECT OF MY CLAIM IF THE
PLAN IS CONFIRMED AND GOES EFFECTIVE?

     HOLDERS OF ALLOWED CLAIMS OTHER THAN UNSECURED CLAIMS

     If you are the holder of an Administrative Claim, a Priority Tax Claim, a
Priority Claim or a Secured Claim that is allowed as of the Effective Date, you
will receive the distribution to which you are entitled under the Plan on
account of such Claim on or promptly after the Effective Date. If you are the
holder of a Secured Claim, Administrative Claim, a Priority Tax Claim, a
Priority Claim or a Secured Claim that is a Disputed Claim as of the Effective
Date, to the extent such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim after the Effective
Date, you should receive the


                                       9
<PAGE>
distribution to which you are entitled under the Plan on or promptly after the
Quarterly Distribution Date next following the date on which such Claim is
allowed.

     HOLDERS OF ALLOWED UNSECURED CLAIMS IN SUBCLASS 3A

     If you are the holder of a Senior Note Claim and the Plan is accepted by
both Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B, you will receive an initial distribution on
account of such Claim on or promptly after the Effective Date. The amount of
initial distributions to be made to holders of Senior Note Claims that are
allowed as of the Effective Date will be calculated as if each Disputed Other
Unsecured Claim were an Allowed Other Unsecured Claim in its Face Amount as of
the Effective Date. In addition, on or promptly after each Quarterly
Distribution Date, you may receive an additional distribution on account of such
Claim in an amount equal to: (a) the amount of Cash that you would have been
entitled to receive pursuant to the Plan if such Claim and each other Unsecured
Claims allowed prior to such Quarterly Distribution Date had been allowed as of
the Effective Date minus (b) the aggregate amount of Cash previously distributed
to you on account of such Claim. See "Distributions Under the Plan -- Timing and
Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed." All distributions to holders of
Senior Note Claims under the Plan will be made by the Distribution Trustee to
the applicable Indenture Trustee, which will thereafter forward such
distributions to such holders in due course.

     If you are the holder of an Allowed Senior Note Claim and the Plan is not
accepted by either Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B, the timing of the distribution to
which you will be entitled in respect of such Claim will depend upon when the
Bankruptcy Court makes the determination contemplated by the Plan to be made in
such circumstance.

     HOLDERS OF ALLOWED UNSECURED CLAIMS IN SUBCLASS 3B

     If you are the holder of an Allowed Senior Subordinated Note Claim and the
Plan is accepted by both Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B, you will receive the
distribution to which you are entitled under the Plan on account of such Claim
on or promptly after the Effective Date as described in this paragraph. On the
Effective Date, the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee will receive a
Cash payment in the amount of $8.0 million for the benefit of the holders of the
Allowed Senior Subordinated Note Claims. The Senior Subordinated Note Indenture
Trustee is entitled to deduct its fees and expenses from such payment prior to
making distributions to holders of Senior Subordinated Note Claims. In due
course following the Effective Date, the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture
Trustee will distribute to each holder of an Allowed Senior Subordinated Note
Claim its Pro Rata Share of such payment as reduced by any fees and expenses so
deducted. See "Distributions Under the Plan -- Timing and Calculation of Amounts
to Be Distributed."

     If you are the holder of an Allowed Senior Subordinated Note Claim and the
Plan is not accepted by either Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B, the timing of the
distribution, if any, to which you may be entitled in respect of such Claim will
depend upon when the Bankruptcy Court makes the determination contemplated by
the Plan to be made in such circumstance.

     HOLDERS OF ALLOWED UNSECURED CLAIMS IN SUBCLASS 3C AND SUBCLASS 3D

     If you are the holder of the PBGC Claims or an Other Unsecured Claim that
is allowed as of the Effective Date, you will receive an initial distribution on
account of such Claim on or promptly after the Effective Date. The amount of
initial distributions to be made to holders of the PBGC Claims and Other
Unsecured Claims that are allowed as of the Effective Date will be calculated as
if each Disputed Other Unsecured Claim were an Allowed Other Unsecured Claim in
its Face Amount as of the Effective Date. If you are the holder of an Other
Unsecured Claim that is a Disputed Claim as of the Effective Date, to the extent
such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim after the Effective Date, you should receive
an initial distribution on account of such Claim on or promptly after the
Quarterly Distribution Date next following the date on which such Claim was
allowed. In addition, on or promptly after each Quarterly Distribution Date, if
you are the holder of the PBGC Claims or an Other Unsecured Claim and have
already received your initial distribution in respect of such Claim, you may
receive an additional distribution on account of such Claim in an amount equal
to: (a) the amount of Cash that you would have been entitled to receive pursuant
to the Plan if such Claim and each other Unsecured Claims allowed prior to such
Quarterly Distribution Date had been allowed as of the Effective Date minus (b)
the aggregate amount of Cash previously


                                       10
<PAGE>
distributed to you on account of such Claim. See "Distributions Under the Plan
-- Timing and Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed."

WHAT WILL I RECEIVE IN RESPECT OF MY 7-3/4% SWD REVENUE BOND IF THE PLAN IS
CONFIRMED AND GOES EFFECTIVE AND WHEN WILL I RECEIVE IT?

     If (a) Subclass 3A votes to accept the Plan and (b) unless the holders of
Senior Note Claims otherwise agree pursuant to a settlement, all holders of
Allowed Senior Note Claims are entitled under the Plan to identical treatment in
respect of contractual subordination claims under the Senior Subordinated Note
Indenture, then, on the Effective Date, an amount equal to the Settlement
Percentage of the Cash in the Unsecured Claims Trust Account that would
otherwise have been distributed in respect of the Senior Subordinated Note
Claims but which, after giving effect to the contractual subordination
provisions of the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture and pursuant to Sections
2.4(c)(i) and 2.4(c)(ii) of the Plan (but prior to giving effect to any 7-3/4%
SWD Revenue Bond Payment), is to be distributed to holders of Senior Note Claims
will be paid to the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Indenture Trustee for the benefit of
the holders of the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Plan
(i.e., the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Payment). For purposes of the Plan, the term
"Settlement Percentage" means the percentage equaling the ratio of (a)
$4,000,000 to (b) 51.42% of the Public Note Percentage of the Cash in the
Unsecured Claims Trust Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will
the amount so paid, when aggregated with any amount payable under any comparable
provision of the KAAC/KFC Plan, exceed $8.0 million. If the Debtors do not File
a separate motion, the Plan will serve as a motion pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule
9019 seeking entry of an order approving the settlement described above. Unless
an objection to such settlement is made in writing by any creditor or claimant
affected thereby, Filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on the parties
identified in Section 12.6 of the Plan on or before April 5, 2005, such order
(which will be the Confirmation Order) may be entered by the Bankruptcy Court.
In the event any such objections are timely Filed, a hearing with respect
thereto will occur at the Confirmation Hearing.

     If Subclass 3A fails to accept the Plan in accordance with section 1126(c)
of the Bankruptcy Code, the rights, if any, of the holders of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue
Bonds to payments from the Public Note Distributable Consideration will be as
determined by an order of the Bankruptcy Court (which may be the Confirmation
Order) in connection with its determination of the relative entitlement of the
holders of Senior Note Claims and Senior Subordinated Note Claims to the Public
Note Distributable Consideration; provided that if the determination with
respect to the rights of the holders of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds to such payment
has not been made by the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Effective Date, then, in
order to ensure the funding of such payment, on the Effective Date the
Distribution Trustee will reserve from the Public Note Distributable
Consideration any amount that may be ordered by the Bankruptcy Court to be so
reserved pending such determination.

     Any payment described above (i.e., the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Payment)
would be made to the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Indenture Trustee for the benefit
of the holders of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds. The 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond
Indenture Trustee is entitled to deduct its fees and expenses from any such
payment prior to making distributions to holders of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds.
However, if the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Payment is required to be made to the
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds pursuant to Section 2.5(a) of the Plan, then the 7-3/4%
SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs' Expense Payments will made out of the Public Note
Distributable Consideration otherwise payable to holders of Allowed Senior Note
Claims, up to an amount which, when aggregated with any amount payable under the
comparable provision of the KAAC/KFC Plan, does not exceed $500,000. Fees and
expenses in excess of such amount may be deducted from amounts otherwise payable
to or for the benefit of the holders of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds. Nothing in the
Plan will prejudice the rights of the plaintiffs in the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond
Dispute to seek recoveries (a) from amounts otherwise to be paid to or for the
benefit of holders of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds under the Plan or the KAAC/KFC
Plan or (b) from, or in respect of amounts otherwise to be paid to or for the
benefit of holders of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds by, any other Kaiser Debtor other
than KAAC or KFC. In due course following its receipt of any such payment, the
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Indenture Trustee will distribute to each holder of
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds its proportionate share of any such payment, as reduced
by any fees and expenses so deducted.

     See "Operations During the Chapter 11 Cases -- 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond
Dispute."

WILL MY RIGHTS AGAINST THE OTHER KAISER DEBTORS BE AFFECTED BY THE PLAN?

     Nothing in the Plan will be deemed to affect any person's claim against or
interest in any of the debtors in the Kaiser Cases except the Debtors (the
"Other Kaiser Debtors") or any of their respective present or former directors,
officers, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, accountants, underwriters,
investment bankers or other representatives, acting in such capacity, or any
rights, including contractual subordination rights, that any person may have in
respect of any such claim against or interest in any such Other Kaiser Debtor.

WHAT WILL MY TAX CONSEQUENCES BE IF THE PLAN IS CONSUMMATED?

     For a summary of certain potential U.S. federal income Tax consequences of
the Plan, see "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of Consummation of the
Plan." The summary contained in this Disclosure Statement does not contain any
information with respect to potential state, local or foreign Tax consequences
to creditors of the Debtors. For these reasons and others, including because Tax
consequences are in many cases uncertain and may vary depending on a creditor's
individual circumstances, the discussion of the Tax consequences of the Plan
contained in this Disclosure Statement is not intended in any way to be Tax
advice - or otherwise to be a substitute for careful Tax planning with a
professional. You are urged to consult with your own Tax advisor regarding the
U.S. federal, state, local and foreign Tax consequences of the Plan.

WHAT MUST HAPPEN BEFORE THE PLAN CAN BE CONSUMMATED?

     In order for the Plan to be effective, certain events must occur. The Plan
contains conditions to both the confirmation of and the effectiveness of the
Plan.

     CONFIRMATION

     The Debtors and Creditors' Committee have agreed that, before the
Bankruptcy Court can confirm the Plan, each of the following must have occurred
(or the requirement that it have occurred must have been waived in accordance
with the Plan):

     -    the Confirmation Order must have been entered on the docket of the
          Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court in form and substance acceptable to the
          Debtors and the Creditors' Committee;

     -    all Exhibits to the Plan must be in form and substance satisfactory to
          the Debtors and the Creditors' Committee; and

     -    the Intercompany Claims Settlement must be effective.

In addition, there are a number of substantial confirmation requirements under
the Bankruptcy Code that must be satisfied for the Plan to be confirmed,
including either the acceptance of the Plan by the requisite holders of Claims
in each of Subclass 3A, Subclass 3B, Subclass 3C and Subclass 3D (i.e.,
acceptance by holders of at least two-thirds in dollar amount and a majority in
number of Claims held by holders actually voting) or, if the Plan is not
accepted by each such Subclass of Class 3, the acceptance of the Plan by the
requisite holders of Claims in at least one such Subclass and the determination
by the Bankruptcy Court that the Plan is "fair and equitable" and "does not
discriminate unfairly" as to each nonaccepting Subclass. See "Voting and
Confirmation of the Plan -- Confirmation."

     EFFECTIVENESS

     In addition, the Debtors and Creditors' Committee have agreed that the Plan
will not be consummated until each of the following has occurred (or the
requirement that it occur has been waived in accordance with the Plan):

     -    the Confirmation Order must have become a Final Order;

     -    the Liquidating Transactions must have been consummated;


                                       12
<PAGE>
     -    all funds due and owing to or by the Debtors under the Intercompany
          Claims Settlement must have been paid in accordance with its terms;

     -    the Distribution Trustee must have been appointed and must have
          accepted such appointment;

     -    the Distribution Trust Agreement must have been executed and the Trust
          Accounts must have been established; and

     -    all other actions, documents, consents and agreements necessary to
          implement the Plan must have been effected, obtained and/or executed.

WHEN WILL THE PLAN BE CONFIRMED? WHEN WILL THE PLAN BE EFFECTIVE?

     CONFIRMATION

     A hearing in the Bankruptcy Court relating to the confirmation of the Plan
is currently scheduled for April 13, 2005. This hearing may be continued or
adjourned, however, and even if it is held, there is no guaranty that the
Bankruptcy Court will find that the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code with
respect to confirmation have been met. See "Voting and Confirmation of the Plan
-- Confirmation Hearing" and "Voting and Confirmation of the Plan --
Confirmation." In addition, the additional conditions to confirmation set forth
in the Plan must be satisfied or waived in accordance with the Plan before the
Plan can be confirmed. Thus, there is no way to predict with any certainty when,
if ever, confirmation will actually occur.

     EFFECTIVE DATE

     Even if the Plan is confirmed on April 13, 2005, there are a number of
additional conditions which must be satisfied or waived before the Plan can be
consummated. While the Debtors have assumed an Effective Date of April 30, 2005
for purposes of this Disclosure Statement, no assurance can be given as to if or
when the Effective Date will actually occur.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO AJI AND KJC IF THE PLAN IS CONSUMMATED?

     The Debtors will be liquidated if the Plan is consummated. Because the
interests of each of the Debtors in Alpart have been sold, the Debtors no longer
have any material ongoing activities or operations. Thus, upon the transfer of
the Distribution Trust Assets to the Distribution Trust, the Debtors will be
dissolved and their assets will be distributed in accordance with the Plan. See
"General Information Concerning the Plan -- Means for Implementation of the Plan
-- Liquidating Transactions."

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE PLAN ISN'T CONFIRMED OR DOESN'T BECOME EFFECTIVE?

     The Debtors expect that all of the conditions to confirmation of the Plan
or the Effective Date will be satisfied (or waived in accordance with the Plan).
However, there is no guaranty that the Plan will be consummated. Although the
Debtors intend to take all acts reasonably necessary to satisfy the conditions
to the confirmation of the Plan and the Effective Date that are within the
Debtors' control, if, for any reason, the Plan is not confirmed or the Effective
Date does not occur, the Debtors may be forced to convert the Chapter 11 Cases
to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code or propose an alternative plan
of liquidation under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

                              OVERVIEW OF THE PLAN

INTRODUCTION

     The following is a brief overview of certain material provisions of the
Plan. This overview is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions
of the Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit I, and the Distribution Trust
Agreement, which is an Exhibit thereto. See "Additional Information." For a
description of certain other significant terms and provisions of the Plan, see
"General Information Concerning the Plan" and "Distributions Under the Plan."


                                       13

SUMMARY OF CLASSES AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

     The table below summarizes: (a) the classification of Claims and Interests;
(b) the estimated aggregate amount of Claims in each of Class 1, Class 2 and
Subclass 3D; (c) the actual aggregate amount of Allowed Claims in each of
Subclass 3A, Subclass 3B and Subclass 3C; (d) the aggregate amount and nature of
distributions to holders of Claims or Interests in each Class; and (e) the
estimated percentage recovery for each of Subclass 3A, Subclass 3B and Subclass
3C. In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative
Claims and Priority Tax Claims have not been classified and thus are excluded
from the Classes. For a discussion of certain additional matters related to
Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims, see " -- Additional Information
Regarding Assertion and Treatment of Administrative Claims and Priority Tax
Claims." The estimated aggregate amount of Claims set forth in the table below
with respect to each of Class 1, Class 2 and Subclass 3D is based on the
Debtors' estimate of the maximum aggregate amounts of such Claims that the
Debtors believe will be allowed.

     Each "Estimated Aggregate Claims Amount" shown in the table below is based
upon the Debtors' preliminary review of Claims Filed on or before the May 15,
2003 general Bar Date and the Debtors' books and records and may be
substantially revised following the completion of a further analysis of the
Claims Filed. See "Operations During the Chapter 11 Cases -- Claims Process and
Bar Dates." In addition, certain Disputed Claims that the Debtors do not believe
are allowable ultimately may be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court.

     The "Estimated Percentage Recovery" shown in the table with respect to
Subclass 3C is the quotient of the estimated Cash to be distributed to the PBGC,
as the holder of Allowed Claims in that Subclass, divided by the aggregate
amount of Allowed Claims in such Subclass. The recoveries for holders of Allowed
Claims in both Subclass A and Subclass 3B will vary depending on, among other
things, whether both Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B accept the Plan and, if either
Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B fails to accept the Plan, the determination of the
Bankruptcy Court with respect to the relative entitlement of the holders of
Senior Note Claims and Senior Subordinated Note Claims to the Public Note
Distributable Consideration. See "-- Sources and Uses of Cash" below for
estimates of the percentage recovery for Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B in four
different scenarios. See "Answers to Certain Questions About the Plan and
Disclosure Statement -- What will I actually receive if the Plan is confirmed
and goes effective?" for a discussion of other factors that may affect the
recoveries of holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims.

GUARANTY SUBORDINATION DISPUTE

     Litigation relating to the relative priority of holders of Senior Note
Claims and holders of Senior Subordinated Note Claims to payments by certain
subsidiaries of KACC that guaranteed the Senior Notes and the Senior
Subordinated Notes, including the Debtors (i.e., the Guaranty Subordination
Dispute), is currently pending before the Bankruptcy Court. See "Operations
During the Chapter 11 Cases -- Guaranty Subordination Dispute." The Plan
contains the following proposed settlement of the Guaranty Subordination
Dispute: If both Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B vote to accept the Plan, a holder
of an Allowed Senior Subordinated Note Claim will receive its Pro Rata Share of
$8.0 million (less any fees or expenses payable to the Senior Subordinated Note
Trustee pursuant to the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture) and a holder of an
Allowed Senior Note Claim will receive its Pro Rata Share of the Public Note
Distributable Consideration remaining after giving effect to the payment of the
$8.0 million to be made to the holders of Senior Subordinated Note Claims, the
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Payment, the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs' Expense
Payment and the Senior Notes Fee Payments. If either Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B
fails to accept the Plan, the Bankruptcy Court will resolve the Guaranty
Subordination Dispute with respect to the Debtors and determine the
distributions from the Public Note Distributable Consideration to be made to the
holders of Claims in Subclass 3A and any distributions from the Public Note
Distributable Consideration to be made to holders of Claims in Subclass 3B. In
such event, the distributions ultimately made to a holder of an Allowed Senior
Note Claim will be reduced by such holder's proportional share of the Senior
Notes Fee Payments and, if the Bankruptcy Court determines that holders of
Allowed Senior Subordinated Note Claims are not entitled to any portion of the
Subclass 3A Distributable Consideration, the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Payment (or
reservation in lieu thereof), if any, and any 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond
Plaintiffs' Expense Payment. Similarly, any distributions ultimately made to a
holder of an Allowed Senior Subordinated Note Claim may be reduced by such
holder's proportional share of any and all fees and expenses payable to the
Senior Subordinated Note Trustee pursuant to the Senior Subordinated Note
Indenture. If the Bankruptcy Court is required to resolve the Guaranty
Subordination Dispute as described above, parties involved in that litigation
could appeal the Bankruptcy Court's ruling and request a stay that, if granted,
would prohibit, pending the conclusion of any such appeal, the distribution of
some or all of the Public Note Distributable Consideration to be distributed to
holders of Claims in Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B in accordance with such ruling.

     Similarly, pursuant to the KAAC/KFC Plan, if holders of both the Senior
Note Claims and the Senior Subordinated Note Claims vote to accept the KAAC/KFC
Plan, then an additional $8.0 million will be paid to the Senior Subordinated
Note Indenture Trustee for the benefit of holders of Senior Subordinated Note
Claims (resulting in aggregate consideration of $16.0 million if the Plan is
also accepted by the holders of the Senior Note Claims and the Senior
Subordinated Note Claims), with such amount to be paid from consideration that
would otherwise be distributed to holders of Allowed Senior Note Claims under
the KAAC/KFC Plan, and the holders of Senior Note Claims would receive a
specified percentage of the Cash and other property available for distribution
to the holders of unsecured claims (less certain payments or reservations of
payment therefrom). If the holders of the Senior Note Claims or the Senior
Subordinated Note Claims fail to accept the KAAC/KFC Plan, the Bankruptcy Court
would resolve the Guaranty Subordination Dispute with respect to KAAC and KFC
and determine the distributions to be made to the holders of Senior Note Claims
and any distributions to be made to holders of Senior Subordinated Note Claims
under the KAAC/KFC Plan.

7-3/4% SWD REVENUE BOND DISPUTE

     If (a) Subclass 3A votes to accept the Plan in accordance with section
1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) unless the holders of Senior Note Claims
otherwise agree pursuant to a settlement, all holders of Allowed Senior Note
Claims are entitled under the Plan to identical treatment in respect of
contractual subordination claims under the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture,
then, on the Effective Date, an amount equal to the Settlement Percentage of the
Cash in the Unsecured Claims Trust Account that would otherwise have been
distributed in respect of the Senior Subordinated Note Claims but which, after
giving effect to the contractual subordination provisions of the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture and pursuant to Sections 2.4(c)(i) and 2.4(c)(ii) of
the Plan (but prior to giving effect to any 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Payment), is
to be distributed to holders of Senior Note Claims will, in full and complete
satisfaction of the claims of holders of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds asserted in
the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute in respect of the Debtors, be paid to the
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Indenture Trustee for the benefit of holders of 7-3/4%
SWD Revenue Bonds pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Plan (i.e., the 7-3/4% SWD
Revenue Bond Payment). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the
amount so paid, when aggregated

<PAGE>
with any amount payable under any comparable provision of the KAAC/KFC Plan,
exceed $8.0 million. If the Debtors do not File a separate motion, the Plan will
serve as a motion pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 seeking entry of an order
approving the settlement described above. Unless an objection to such settlement
is made in writing by any creditor or claimant affected thereby, Filed with the
Bankruptcy Court and served on the parties identified in Section 12.6 of the
Plan on or before April 5, 2005, such order (which will be the Confirmation
Order) may be entered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event any such objections
are timely Filed, a hearing with respect thereto will occur at the Confirmation
Hearing.

     If Subclass 3A fails to accept the Plan in accordance with section 1126(c)
of the Bankruptcy Code, the rights, if any, of the holders of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue
Bonds to payments from the Public Note Distributable Consideration will be as
determined in an order of the Bankruptcy Court (which may be the Confirmation
Order) in connection with the determinations contemplated by Sections
2.4(c)(i)(B) and 2.4(c)(ii)(B) of the Plan; provided that if the determination
with respect to the rights of the holders of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds to such
payment has not been made by the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Effective Date,
then, in order to ensure the funding of such payment, on the Effective Date the
Distribution Trustee will reserve from the Public Note Distributable
Consideration any amount that may be ordered by the Bankruptcy Court to be so
reserved pending such determination.

     See "Operations During the Chapter 11 Cases -- 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond
Dispute."

SOURCES AND USES OF CASH

     SOURCES OF CASH

     The Cash available in the Debtors' Estates to fund the Plan will come from:
(a) the net Cash proceeds received by the Debtors in connection with the sale of
their interests in Alpart pursuant to the Alpart Purchase Agreement (after
taking into account the costs and expenses of such sale payable by the Debtors
in accordance with the Intercompany Claims Settlement), together with any
interest thereon and earnings from the investment thereof (the "Alpart
Proceeds"); (b) the net Cash proceeds allocable to Kaiser Bauxite Company
("KBC") from the sale of its interests in and related to Kaiser Jamaica Bauxite
Company ("KJBC") and KACC's alumina refinery in Gramercy, Louisiana (together,
the "Gramercy/KJBC Interests") received by the Debtors pursuant to the
Intercompany Claims Settlement (after taking into account the reimbursement of
KACC for professional fees and expenses of KBC incurred after July 1, 2004 and
prior to the closing of the sale of the Gramercy/KJBC Interests in accordance
with the Intercompany Claims Settlement), together with any interest thereon and
earnings from the investment thereof (the "KBC Proceeds"); and (c) the Recovery
Action Proceeds. See "Operations During the Chapter 11 Cases -- The Sale of the
Alpart Interests and Liquidation of AJI and KJC" and "Operations During the
Chapter 11 Cases -- Intercompany Claims Settlement."

     The Debtors currently estimate that, as of the Effective Date (which, for
this purpose, is assumed to occur on April 30, 2005), the Alpart Proceeds will
be approximately $273.8 million and the KBC Proceeds will be approximately $4.0
million. The Debtors are not aware of any Recovery Actions (and the Creditors'
Committee has independently determined that there are no viable preference
actions concerning payments made by the Debtors) and, accordingly, it has been
assumed that the Recovery Action Proceeds will be zero.

     USES OF CASH

     As more fully described below, the Debtors' Cash as of the Effective Date
will be used to (a) fund the Distribution Trust Expenses Account to enable the
Distribution Trustee to pay Distribution Trust Expenses; (b) fund the Priority
Claims Trust Account to enable the Distribution Trustee to pay the Allowed
Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, Allowed Priority Claims and
Allowed Secured Claims in accordance with the Plan; (c) provide for up to $1.5
million of the Senior Notes Fee Payments; (d) make any Intercompany Settlement
Payments; and (e) then fund the Unsecured Claims Trust Account with any
remaining Cash. The Debtors and the Creditors' Committee currently anticipate
that available Cash will be applied initially as follows (in millions):

----------
*    Includes funding for Allowed Administrative Claims, including Professional
     Fee Claims, and Allowed Priority Tax Claims.

     The Debtors and Creditors' Committee will agree no later than ten days
prior to the Confirmation Hearing on the actual amount of the Debtors' Cash to
be used for the initial funding of the Distribution Trust Expenses Account in
order to ensure the payment of Distribution Trust Expenses. The actual amount of
Distribution Trust Expenses to be incurred prior to termination of the
Distribution Trust may vary materially from the amount of such initial funding.
If the Distribution Trustee at any time determines that the Cash balance of the
Distribution Trust Expenses Account is insufficient to make all payments payable
therefrom in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Distribution Trust
Agreement, the Distribution Trustee may transfer additional Cash from the
Unsecured Claims Trust Account (to the extent Cash remains available therein) to
the Distribution Expenses Account. If, on the other hand, the Distribution
Trustee determines that the Cash balance of the Distribution Trust Expenses
Account is in excess of the amount that will be sufficient to make all payments
payable therefrom in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Distribution
Trust Agreement, the Distribution Trustee, with the consent of the Steering
Committee, may transfer such excess Cash to the Unsecured Claims Trust Account.

     The Debtors and Creditors' Committee will agree no later than ten days
prior to the Confirmation Hearing on the actual amount of the Debtors' Cash to
be used for the initial funding of the Priority Claims Trust Account in order to
ensure the payment of Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax
Claims, Allowed Priority Claims and Allowed Secured Claims. Under the
Intercompany Claims Settlement, the Debtors are responsible for, among other
things, (a) the payment of third-party costs that are incurred after June 30,
2004 solely in connection with the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases and
(b) the payment of all foreign Taxes, transfer Taxes and recording fees payable
by the Debtors as a result of the sale of their interests in Alpart and all
other foreign Taxes payable by the Debtors. Accordingly, the initial funding of
the Priority Claims Trust Account will include a reserve for the payment of
Professional Fee Claims and a reserve for the payment of Taxes that may be
assessed against the Debtors by the Government of Jamaica as a result of the
sale by the Debtors of their interests in Alpart or otherwise (which will be
treated as Priority Tax Claims or Administrative Claims, as the case may be).
See "Operations During the Chapter 11 Cases -- Certain Jamaican Tax Matters."
The actual amounts of Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax
Claims, Allowed Priority Claims and Allowed Secured Claims could vary materially
from the amount of the initial funding of the Priority Claims Trust Account. If
at any time the Distribution Trustee determines that the Cash balance of the
Priority Claims Trust Account is insufficient to make all payments payable
therefrom in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Distribution Trust
Agreement, the Distribution Trustee will transfer an amount equal to the
shortfall from the Unsecured Claims Trust Account (to the extent Cash remains
available therein) to the Priority Claims Trust Account. If, on the other hand,
the Distribution Trustee determines that the Cash balance of the Priority Claims
Trust Account is in excess of the amount that will be sufficient to make all
payments payable therefrom in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the
Distribution Trust Agreement, the Distribution Trustee, with the consent of the
Steering Committee, may transfer such excess Cash to the Unsecured Claims Trust
Account.

     The Debtors and the Creditors' Committee currently estimate that the Senior
Notes Fee Payments will be $1.5 million in the aggregate. The actual aggregate
amount of the Senior Notes Fee Payments may vary from such amount. To the extent
the actual aggregate amount of the Senior Notes Fee Payments is less than $1.5
million, the amount of Cash available for distribution to holders of Senior Note
Claims, Senior Subordinated Claims, the PBGC Claims and Other Unsecured Claims
will increase by that difference. To the extent the Senior Notes Fee Payments
exceed $1.5 million, such excess will be paid solely from Cash otherwise
available for distribution to holders of Senior Note Claims.

     The Debtors and the Creditors' Committee currently estimate that the
Intercompany Settlement Payments will be between zero and $4.0 million.

     Based on the various estimates indicated above, the Debtors and the
Creditors' Committee currently estimate that the Unsecured Claims Trust Account
initially will be funded with an aggregate of $253.8 million to $262.8 million.
No assurance can be given (a) that the actual amount of Cash to be used for the
funding of the Distribution Trust Expenses Account or the Priority Claims Trust
Account or the Senior Notes Fee Payments or Intercompany Settlement Payments
will not vary from the estimates thereof indicated above, (b) that the initial
funding of the Distribution Trust Expenses Account and the Priority Claims Trust
Account will be made in the amount of the estimates indicated above, or (c)
that, regardless of the amount of initial funding of such Trust Accounts, the
actual payments payable therefrom will not vary from the amount of such initial
funding, increasing Cash ultimately available for distribution from the
Unsecured Claims Trust Account to the extent actual payments are less than such
initial funding and decreasing Cash ultimately available for distribution from
the Unsecured Claims Trust Account to the extent actual payments are greater
than such initial funding.

     Based on the various estimates indicated above and assuming there are no
Allowed Unsecured Claims, the aggregate Cash ultimately to be distributed to the
PBGC, as the holder of the PBGC Claims, would be $81.2 million to $84.1 million,
and $172.6 million to $178.7 million would remain available for distribution to
holders of Senior Note Claims and Senior Subordinated Note Claims and, if
applicable, holders of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds. The aggregate Cash ultimately
to be distributed to holders of Senior Note Claims and Senior Subordinated Note
Claims depends on, among other things, whether Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B vote
to accept the Plan and, if either Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B fails to accept the
Plan, the outcome of the Guaranty Subordination Dispute. See "Operations During
the Chapter 11 Cases -- Guaranty Subordination Dispute." The chart below
indicates, based on the various estimates indicated above and assuming there are
no Allowed Other Unsecured Claims, the aggregate Cash ultimately to be
distributed to holders of Senior Note Claims and Senior Subordinated Note Claims
in each of the following four scenarios: (a) Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B vote to
accept the Plan ("Scenario A"); (b) Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B fails to accept
the Plan and the Bankruptcy Court rules in favor of the 9-7/8% Senior Note
Indenture Trustee, the 10-7/8% Senior Note Indenture Trustee and the Ad Hoc
Group (collectively, the "Senior Note Parties") in the Guaranty Subordination
Dispute such that the Senior Subordinated Note Claims are subordinated to the
Senior Note Claims ("Scenario B"); (c) Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B fails to
accept the Plan and the Bankruptcy Court rules in favor of the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee in the Guaranty Subordination Dispute such
that the Senior Subordinated Note Claims and the Senior Note Claims are treated
on a pari passu basis ("Scenario C"); and (d) Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B fails
to accept the Plan and the Bankruptcy Court rules in favor of Liverpool Limited
Partnership, a holder of 9-7/8% Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes
("Liverpool"), on all positions asserted by Liverpool in the Guaranty
Subordination Dispute such that the Senior Subordinated Note Claims are
ultimately determined by the Bankruptcy Court to be subordinated, but only to
$100 million of the current principal amount of the 9-7/8% Senior Notes and not
to any of the 10-7/8% Senior Notes ("Scenario D") (in each case, in millions).

*    Assumes that (a) Subclass 3A accepts the Plan and (b) unless the holders of
     Senior Note Claims otherwise agree pursuant to a settlement, all holders of
     Allowed Senior Note Claims are entitled under the Plan to identical
     treatment in respect of contractual subordination claims under the Senior
     Subordinated Note Indenture, and the recoveries of holders of Senior Note
     Claims reflect reductions of $3.6 million to $3.7 million in Scenario A and
     $4.0 million in Scenario B for payment of the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond
     Payment, but do not reflect the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs' Expense
     Payments, which could be up to $0.5 million. See "Operations During the
     Chapter 11 Cases -- 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute."

**   The estimated recoveries were calculated based on the assumption that
     Liverpool prevails on each of its currently asserted positions. If
     Liverpool does not prevail on certain of these positions, the estimated
     distributions to the 9-7/8% Senior Note Claims would be reduced.
     Calculation of the contractual subordination payments includes claims for
     postpetition interest and an allocation of such payments proportionally
     between the Debtors, on the one hand, and KAAC, on the other hand, based on
     the estimated value distributable in respect of Public Note Claims under
     each of the Plan and the KAAC/KFC Plan.

Although the Debtors and the Creditors' Committee believe that no Other
Unsecured Claims will ultimately be allowed, in the event Other Unsecured Claims
that have been asserted are not disallowed prior to the Effective Date, Disputed
Claims Reserves would have to be established in respect of Subclass 3D, thereby
further reducing the initial Cash distributions to be made to holders of Senior
Note Claims, to holders of Senior Subordinated Note Claims in certain
circumstances and to the PBGC. See "General Information Concerning the Plan --
Means for Implementation of the Plan -- Trust Accounts."

     The chart below indicates, based on the estimated Cash distributions
indicated above, the estimated percentage recovery by holders of Senior Note
Claims and Senior Subordinated Note Claims in each of Scenario A, Scenario B,
Scenario C and Scenario D (computed as the quotient of the estimated Cash to be
distributed to all holders of the applicable Claims divided by the aggregate
amounts of such Claims allowed pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Plan).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING ASSERTION AND TREATMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE
CLAIMS AND PRIORITY TAX CLAIMS

     ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS

          Administrative Claims in General

     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or unless otherwise agreed by the
holder of an Administrative Claim and the applicable Debtor or the Distribution
Trustee, each holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim will receive, in full
satisfaction of its Administrative Claim, Cash from the Priority Claims Trust
Account in an amount equal to the allowed amount of such Administrative Claim
either: (a) on or promptly after the Effective Date or (b) if the Administrative
Claim is not allowed as of the Effective Date, on or promptly after the date
that is 30 days after the date on which (i) an order allowing such
Administrative Claim becomes a Final Order or (ii) a Stipulation of Amount and
Nature of Claim is executed by the Distribution Trustee and the holder of the
Administrative Claim.

     Administrative Claims include Claims for costs and expenses of
administration allowed under sections 503(b), 507(b) or 1114(e)(2) of the
Bankruptcy Code, including (a) the actual and necessary costs and expenses
incurred after the Petition Date in preserving the respective Estates and
operating the business of each of the Debtors; (b) Professional Fee Claims; and
(c) US Trustee Fees. Except as provided in the Intercompany Claims Settlement,
no Intercompany Claim will constitute an Administrative Claim, and pursuant to
the PBGC Settlement Agreement, the PBGC has agreed not to assert any
Administrative Claims against the Debtors.

          US Trustee Fees

     On or before the Effective Date, Administrative Claims for fees payable
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1930, as determined by the Bankruptcy Court at the
Confirmation Hearing, will be paid by the applicable Debtor or the Distribution
Trustee in Cash equal to the amount of such Administrative Claims. All fees
payable pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Section 1930 will be paid by the Distribution
Trustee in accordance with the Plan from the Priority Claims Trust Account until
the closing of the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to section 350(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code.


                                       22
<PAGE>
          Bar Dates for Administrative Claims

     As provided in the Administrative Claim Bar Date Order, any holder of an
Administrative Claim against a Debtor that was required to File and serve a
request for payment of such Administrative Claim and that does not File and
serve such a request in accordance with the Administrative Claim Bar Date Order
by the Administrative Claim Bar Date, will be forever barred from asserting such
Administrative Claim against the Debtors, the Distribution Trustee or the
property of any of them, or the Trust Accounts, and such Administrative Claim
will be deemed waived and released as of the Effective Date. Objections to an
Administrative Claim must be Filed by the Distribution Trustee and served on the
requesting party by the later of (a) 45 days after the Effective Date and (b) 60
days after the Filing of the request for payment of an Administrative Claim.

     Except as otherwise set forth in the Plan or in the Intercompany Claims
Settlement, professionals or other entities asserting a Professional Fee Claim
for services rendered solely with respect to the Debtors before the Effective
Date must File and serve on the Debtors and the Distribution Trustee and such
other entities who are designated by the Bankruptcy Rules, the Confirmation
Order or other order of the Bankruptcy Court an application for final allowance
of such Fee Claim no later than 60 days after the Effective Date. Objections,
including any objections by the US Trustee, to any Professional Fee Claim must
be Filed and served on the Distribution Trustee and the requesting party by the
later of (a) 90 days after the Effective Date and (b) 30 days after the Filing
of the applicable request for payment of the Professional Fee Claim. To the
extent necessary, the Confirmation Order will amend and supersede any previously
entered order of the Bankruptcy Court regarding the payment of Professional Fee
Claims (other than the Intercompany Claim Settlement Order) solely with respect
to the Debtors.

     To the extent that any professional has provided services in the Kaiser
Cases, the Bar Date for Professional Fee Claims in Section 2.2 of the Plan
relates only to such professional's fees for services and reimbursement of
expenses reasonably allocable by such professional solely to the Debtors and not
otherwise treated pursuant to the Intercompany Claims Settlement Order; Claims
relating to such professional's fees for services and reimbursement of expenses
to the Other Kaiser Debtors may be sought against the estates of such Other
Kaiser Debtors. The failure of a professional to allocate any particular charges
to the Debtors will not foreclose, waive or affect in any way the professional's
right to seek allowance and payment of such charges from the Other Kaiser
Debtors.

     PRIORITY TAX CLAIMS

     Pursuant to section 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless otherwise
agreed by the holder of a Priority Tax Claim and the applicable Debtor or the
Distribution Trustee, each holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim will receive,
in full satisfaction of its Priority Tax Claim, the full amount thereof in Cash,
without postpetition interest or penalty, from the Priority Claims Trust Account
as soon as practicable after the later of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the
date on which the Priority Tax Claim becomes an Allowed Claim. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim will not be entitled
to receive any payment on account of any penalty arising with respect to or in
connection with the Allowed Priority Tax Claim. Any such Claim or demand for any
such penalty (a) will be subject to treatment in Subclass 3D and (b) the holder
of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim will not be entitled to assess or attempt to
collect such penalty from the Debtors, the Distribution Trustee, their
properties or the Trust Accounts (other than as the holder of a Subclass 3D
Claim).

     RESERVES FOR PAYMENT OF CERTAIN POTENTIAL ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS AND
PRIORITY TAX CLAIMS

     As part of the initial funding of the Priority Claims Trust Accounts, the
Debtors will include reserves for payments in respect of certain potential
Administrative Claims and Priority Tax Claims. For a description of such
potential Claims, see "Operations During the Chapter 11 Cases -- Certain
Jamaican Tax Matters."

SENIOR NOTE INDENTURE TRUSTEE AND AD HOC GROUP COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES; 7-3/4%
SWD REVENUE BOND PLAINTIFFS' FEES

     The Senior Notes Fee Payments will be made out of the Public Note
Distributable Consideration. No later than two Business Days prior to the
Effective Date, each of the 9-7/8% Senior Note Indenture Trustee, the 10-7/8%
Senior Note Indenture Trustee and counsel for the Ad Hoc Group must furnish to
the Creditors' Committee and the


                                       23
<PAGE>
Debtors information in respect of such fees and expenses incurred and estimated
to be incurred through the Effective Date.

     In addition, if the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Payment is required to be made
under the first sentence of Section 2.5(a) of the Plan, the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue
Bond Plaintiffs' Expense Payments will be made out of the Public Note
Distributable Consideration otherwise payable to holders of Allowed Claims in
Subclass 3A; provided, however, that in no case will the amount of the 7-3/4%
SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs' Expense Payment, when aggregated with any
comparable amount payable under the KAAC/KFC Plan, exceed $500,000; provided
further, however, that nothing in the Plan will prejudice the rights of such
plaintiffs to seek additional recoveries (i) from amounts otherwise to be paid
to or for the benefit of holders of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds under the Plan or
the KAAC/KFC Plan or (ii) from, or in respect of amounts otherwise to be paid to
or for the benefit of holders of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds by, any Other Kaiser
Debtor other than KAAC or KFC. No later than two Business Days prior to the
Effective Date, the plaintiffs in the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute must
furnish to the Creditors' Committee, the Debtors, the 9-7/8% Senior Note
Indenture Trustee and the 10-7/8% Senior Note Indenture Trustee information in
respect of such fees and expenses incurred and estimated to be incurred through
the Effective Date.

            CERTAIN EVENTS PRECEDING THE DEBTORS' CHAPTER 11 FILINGS

BACKGROUND

     Kaiser Aluminum Corporation ("KAC"), through its wholly owned subsidiary
KACC and the subsidiaries of KACC, has historically been one of the leading
international producers and marketers of alumina, primary aluminum and
fabricated aluminum products, operating worldwide in all principal aspects of
the aluminum industry - the mining of bauxite, the refining of bauxite into
alumina, the production of primary aluminum from alumina and the manufacture of
both fabricated and semi-fabricated aluminum products. Both Debtors are direct
wholly owned subsidiaries of KACC and, until July 1, 2004, collectively owned
65% of Alpart, a general partnership formed by the Debtors and Hydro Aluminium
Jamaica a.s. ("Hydro") for the purpose of mining bauxite, processing it into
alumina and delivering the resulting alumina to its partners. The Debtors sold
their respective interests in Alpart to Quality Incorporation I Limited
("Quality"), an affiliate of Hydro, on July 1, 2004, as part of the overall
disposition by KAC and its subsidiaries of their commodity businesses.
Immediately thereafter, Glencore International AG ("Glencore") purchased 100% of
the equity interests in Quality. For a discussion of the sale by the Debtors of
their interests in Alpart, see "Operations During the Chapter 11 Cases -- The
Sale of the Alpart Interests and Liquidation of AJI and KJC."

CHAPTER 11 FILINGS OF THE OTHER KAISER DEBTORS

     On February 12, 2002 (the "2002 Petition Date"), KAC, KACC and 13 of their
subsidiaries Filed for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On March
15, 2002, two additional affiliates of KAC and KACC commenced their respective
chapter 11 cases (collectively with the 15 previously-filed debtors, the
"Original Debtors"). The filing of these cases was necessitated by the liquidity
and cash flow problems that arose in late 2001 and early 2002. KAC and its
subsidiaries were facing significant near-term debt maturities at a time of
unusually weak aluminum industry business conditions, depressed aluminum prices
and a broad economic slowdown that was further exacerbated by the events of
September 11, 2001. In addition, KAC and its subsidiaries had become
increasingly burdened by asbestos litigation and growing legacy obligations for
retiree medical and pension costs. The confluence of these factors created
continuing operating losses and negative cash flows, which resulted in lower
credit ratings and an inability to access the capital markets. Notwithstanding
the filing of these cases, the Debtors did not File for relief under chapter 11
of the Bankruptcy Code until January 14, 2003. For a description of such Filing,
see "-- Pension Funding Obligations; Commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases by the
Debtors."

NOTE GUARANTEES

     The Debtors, together with certain other subsidiaries of KACC, are
guarantors of KACC's obligations under the 9-7/8% Senior Note Indenture and
10-7/8% Senior Note Indentures (collectively, the "Senior Notes Indentures") and
the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture (collectively with the Senior Notes
Indentures, the "Public Note Indentures"). Upon the commencement of KACC's
chapter 11 case, the debt issued pursuant to each Public


                                       24
<PAGE>
Note Indenture was accelerated and the trustee under each Public Note Indenture
had the right to proceed to collect on the debt issued pursuant to such Public
Note Indenture. It was not yet clear on the 2002 Petition Date that a filing by
the Debtors for protection under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code would be in
the best interests of the Debtors' constituents, but the enforcement of the
Debtors' guarantees of the 9-7/8% Senior Notes, 10-7/8% Senior Notes and Senior
Subordinated Notes would likely have necessitated such a filing. Thus, in
connection with their chapter 11 filings, the Original Debtors sought and
obtained an injunction enjoining the holders of 9-7/8% Senior Notes, 10-7/8%
Senior Notes and Senior Subordinated Notes from seeking to enforce such
guarantees (which injunction was subsequently mooted by the commencement of the
Chapter 11 Cases). During the Chapter 11 Cases, certain litigation was initiated
involving the relative rights of the holders of the Senior Subordinated Notes
and the holders of the 9-7/8% Senior Notes and the 10-7/8% Senior Notes. See
"Operations During the Chapter 11 Cases -- Guaranty Subordination Dispute."
Litigation was also initiated in order to determine the rights of the 7-3/4% SWD
Revenue Bonds in relation to the Senior Subordinated Notes. See "Operations
During the Chapter 11 Case -- 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute."

PENSION FUNDING OBLIGATIONS; COMMENCEMENT OF THE CHAPTER 11 CASES BY THE DEBTORS

     Originally, a total of eight pension plans were sponsored by KACC and one
of its subsidiaries for the benefit of their employees. Most likely as a result
of public disclosure regarding the potential termination of the Kaiser pension
plans and increasing concern over the continuing uncertain status of the Kaiser
pension plans, beginning in November 2002, a higher than average number of
salaried employees retired and opted for a lump-sum distribution from the Kaiser
Aluminum Salaried Employees Retirement Plan (the "Salaried Pension Plan"). The
resulting increase in the aggregate amount of lump-sum distributions from the
Salaried Pension Plan combined with a reduction in the level of the Salaried
Pension Plan's liquid assets and the ratio of the plan's assets over current
liabilities, in each case below the statutory limit as of January 1, 2003,
triggered a "Liquidity Shortfall" under the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and the IRC. As a result, KACC was required
by statute to make an additional contribution in the amount of $17.0 million to
the Salaried Pension Plan on January 15, 2003, but KACC determined prior to that
date that it was not in the best interest of its estate to make such
contribution. Under ERISA, upon the failure of a plan sponsor to make a
statutory contribution to the pension plan of which it is the sponsor, a lien
enforceable by the PBGC automatically arises against all of the assets of that
plan sponsor and each member of the sponsor's "controlled group" (which, in the
case of KACC, is all entities of which KACC owns 80% or more, including the
Debtors). As there was an automatic stay in effect in the chapter 11 cases of
the Original Debtors, neither the additional funding requirement nor the
creation of such a lien posed an issue for the Original Debtors. However, the
imposition or perfection of such a lien or other enforcement action by the PBGC
against the Debtors, had the Debtors not Filed for protection under chapter 11
of the Bankruptcy Code, could have:

     -    detrimentally affected the business operations of the Debtors;

     -    triggered adverse Tax consequences, resulting in additional taxable
          income in the Debtors' U.S. consolidated Tax return;

     -    caused an event of default under the Original Debtors' then-existing
          postpetition financing arrangement; and

     -    irretrievably altered the relative priorities of creditor Claims by
          elevating the PBGC Claims above the other unsecured creditors' Claims
          (even though the PBGC Claims were treated as general unsecured
          prepetition claims in the chapter 11 cases of the Original Debtors).

Accordingly, on the Petition Date, AJI, KJC and seven additional affiliates of
KAC (AJI, KJC and such additional affiliates collectively, the "Additional
Debtors") Filed petitions for relief. The PBGC, as was expected, Filed several
proofs of Claims against the Debtors. See "Operations During the Chapter 11
Cases -- PBGC Claims" for further information.

                     OPERATIONS DURING THE CHAPTER 11 CASES

FIRST DAY RELIEF REQUESTED BY THE ORIGINAL DEBTORS

     On the 2002 Petition Date, the Original Debtors Filed a number of motions
and other pleadings (collectively, the "2002 First Day Motions"). Certain of the
most significant 2002 First Day Motions are briefly described below. The 2002
First Day Motions were designed to meet the Original Debtors' goals of:

     -    continuing their and their nondebtor subsidiaries' operations with as
          little disruption and loss of productivity as possible;

     -    maintaining the confidence and support of the Original Debtors' and
          their nondebtor subsidiaries' customers, employees, vendors,
          suppliers, service providers, contractors and other key groups;

     -    maintaining good relations in the communities served by the Original
          Debtors' and their nondebtor subsidiaries' businesses; and

     -    obtaining necessary postpetition financing.

The 2002 First Day Motions included:

     -    motions relating to case administration included the appointment of
          counsel, the appointment of a claims and noticing agent, and the
          approval of interim compensation procedures for professionals;

     -    a motion seeking authority to pay prepetition wages and other benefits
          to or on behalf of the Original Debtors' employees and independent
          contractors;

     -    a motion seeking authority to retain and pay ordinary course
          professionals;

     -    a motion seeking authority to continue the Original Debtors' workers'
          compensation insurance programs and pay certain prepetition workers'
          compensation claims, premiums and related expenses;

     -    a motion seeking authority to pay or honor prepetition obligations to
          customers;

     -    a motion seeking authority to pay prepetition claims of certain
          critical vendors and service providers;

     -    a motion seeking approval of (a) the Original Debtors' cash management
          system; (b) certain intercompany transactions with and transfers to
          affiliates; (c) the use of existing bank accounts, business forms, and
          investment and deposit guidelines; and (d) the priority of
          postpetition Intercompany Claims, as discussed below under "-- Cash
          Management Order"; and

     -    a motion seeking approval to continue funding certain joint venture
          affiliates, including Alpart, as discussed below under "-- Joint
          Venture Order".

All of the 2002 First Day Motions ultimately were granted on the 2002 Petition
Date or shortly thereafter.

     CASH MANAGEMENT ORDER

     Prior to the 2002 Petition Date, the Original Debtors utilized certain
centralized cash management systems in the day-to-day operation of their
businesses. These cash management systems included an overall centralized cash
management system maintained by KACC, as well as certain cash management
subsystems maintained by certain of their subsidiaries and business units. These
cash management systems provided well-established mechanisms for the collection,
concentration, management and disbursement of funds used in the Original
Debtors' businesses.

     On February 13, 2002, the Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order
authorizing the Original Debtors to maintain these systems on a postpetition
basis and, on July 23, 2002, entered a final order authorizing the continued


                                       26
<PAGE>
use and maintenance of the centralized cash management system (the "Cash
Management Order"). In addition, the Cash Management Order authorized the
Original Debtors to continue their ordinary course transactions with, and
transfers of Cash to, their nondebtor affiliates (which, prior to the Petition
Date, included the Debtors). In connection with this relief, the Cash Management
Order accorded superpriority status to any Intercompany Claims among the
Original Debtors and nondebtor affiliates that arose after the 2002 Petition
Date as a result of the intercompany transactions made through the Original
Debtors' cash management system.

     JOINT VENTURE ORDER

     As of the 2002 Petition Date, much of the bauxite, alumina and primary
aluminum utilized by KACC and its subsidiaries was produced at overseas
facilities owned through five nondebtor joint venture affiliates, of which KACC
held, directly or indirectly, less than a 100% ownership interest (collectively,
the "Joint Ventures"). Alpart, described above in "Certain Events Preceding the
Debtors' Chapter 11 Cases -- Background," was one of the Joint Ventures. Certain
of the Original Debtors were obligated to purchase products from the Joint
Ventures and to fund the Joint Ventures' cash costs for raw materials, labor and
other operational costs, as well as capital expenditures, Taxes, debt service
and working capital. Failure to purchase products from, or fund the costs of, a
Joint Venture would have been a default under the relevant Joint Venture
agreements, which, in turn, could have lead to the forfeiture of the Original
Debtors' interests in the Joint Venture. As a consequence, the Original Debtors
sought and obtained an interim order dated February 13, 2002 authorizing them to
continue ordinary course transactions with, and pay prepetition claims of, the
Joint Ventures and, on July 23, 2002, obtained a final order authorizing them to
do so (the "Joint Venture Order").

FIRST DAY RELIEF REQUESTED BY AJI, KJC AND THE OTHER ADDITIONAL DEBTORS

     On the Petition Date, AJI, KJC and the other Additional Debtors Filed
motions for relief (collectively, the "2003 First Day Motions"), the most
material of which are briefly described below. The 2003 First Day Motions were
designed to meet the Additional Debtors' goals of:

     -    continuing their operations with as little disruption and loss of
          productivity as possible;

     -    maintaining the confidence and support of the Additional Debtors'
          customers, employees, vendors, suppliers, service providers,
          contractors and other key groups; and

     -    extending certain relief granted under the 2002 First Day Motions to
          the Additional Debtors.

The 2003 First Day Motions included:

     -    motions relating to case administration, the Filing of a consolidated
          list of creditors and appointment of a claims and noticing agent;

     -    a motion to extend the relief granted in the Cash Management Order to
          each of the Additional Debtors;

     -    a motion to allow Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical of Canada Limited, a
          solvent Canadian corporation and a subsidiary of KACC, to continue,
          without interruption, the Canadian operations, including the payment
          of prepetition claims in the ordinary course; and

     -    a motion to extend the relief granted in the Joint Venture Order to
          AJI, KJC and KBC.

All of the 2003 First Day Motions were granted on the Petition Date or shortly
thereafter.

APPOINTMENT OF THE COMMITTEES AND FUTURE CLAIMANTS' REPRESENTATIVES

     CREDITORS' COMMITTEE

     On February 25, 2002, the US Trustee appointed the Creditors' Committee.

Chapter 11 Cases). The membership of the Creditors' Committee


                                       27

     ASBESTOS CLAIMANTS' COMMITTEE AND CERTAIN OTHER APPOINTED REPRESENTATIVES

     On February 25, 2002, the US Trustee appointed a statutory committee of
asbestos claimants (the "Asbestos Claimants' Committee"). On January 27, 2003,
the Bankruptcy Court entered an order appointing Martin J. Murphy as legal
representative for future asbestos claimants (the "Future Asbestos Claimants'
Representative"). On August 26, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order
appointing an official committee of retired employees (the "Retirees'
Committee"). On June 22, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order appointing
a legal representative for future silica and coal tar pitch volatile claimants
(the "Future Silica Claimants' Representative"). While each of these
appointments has been made in the administratively consolidated chapter 11 cases
of the Original Debtors and Additional Debtors, the Debtors do not believe that
they have any liability with respect to the claims that are the subject of the
respective roles of the Asbestos Claimants' Committee, the Future Asbestos
Claimants' Representative or the Future Silica Claimants' Representative and no
Claims in respect thereof have been asserted (other than several Claims asserted
by insurance carriers that are being challenged by the Debtors and that are
expected to be disallowed).

ASSUMPTION AND ASSIGNMENT OR REJECTION OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED
LEASES

     As debtors in possession, the Debtors have the right under section 365 of
the Bankruptcy Code, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to assume,
assume and assign, or reject executory contracts and unexpired leases. Section
365 of the Bankruptcy Code provides generally that a debtor may assume, assume
and assign, or reject an executory contract at any time before the confirmation
of a plan of reorganization, but the Bankruptcy Court, on the request of a party
in interest, may order the debtor to determine whether to assume or reject a


                                       28
<PAGE>
particular executory contract within a specified period of time. In addition,
section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code further provides that a debtor is given until
60 days after the date of commencement of its bankruptcy to decide whether to
assume, assume and assign, or reject an unexpired lease of nonresidential real
property. This period may be extended for "cause."

     On April 11, 2002, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order granting the
Original Debtors' motion to extend the time within which they may assume, assume
and assign, or reject an unexpired lease of nonresidential property until the
Confirmation Date to allow them to evaluate further their executory contracts
and unexpired leases. On April 17, 2003, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order
granting the same relief to the AJI, KJC and the other Additional Debtors.

     As described below in "-- The Sale of the Alpart Interests and Liquidation
of AJI and KJC," the interests of AJI and KJC in Alpart have been sold and all
executory contracts related to Alpart have been assumed and assigned in
connection therewith. The Debtors do not believe they have any material
executory contracts or unexpired leases that were not assumed and assigned in
connection with the sale of their interests in Alpart, but, in any case, any
remaining executory contracts of AJI and KJC will be deemed rejected pursuant to
the Plan.

CLAIMS PROCESS AND BAR DATES

     In May 2002, the Original Debtors filed their Schedules, identifying the
assets and liabilities of their respective estates. These Schedules have been
amended from time to time subsequent to these initial filings. In March 2003,
AJI, KJC and the other Additional Debtors filed their respective Schedules. The
Bankruptcy Court set the following bar dates for the filing of proofs of claim
in the Kaiser Cases: (a) January 31, 2003 as the last date by which holders of
prepetition claims against the Original Debtors (other than asbestos-related
personal injury, noise-induced hearing loss and coal tar pitch volatiles claims)
could file their claims; (b) May 15, 2003 as the last date by which holders of
prepetition claims against AJI, KJC and the other Additional Debtors (other than
asbestos-related personal injury, noise-induced hearing loss and coal tar pitch
volatiles claims) could file their claims; and (c) February 29, 2004 as the last
date by which holders of noise-induced hearing loss and coal tar pitch volatiles
prepetition claims against KACC could file their claims. No bar date has been
established for the filing of asbestos-related personal injury claims.

POSTPETITION FINANCING

     On the 2002 Petition Date, the Original Debtors entered into a postpetition
financing agreement arranged by Bank of America, N.A. and, in March 2003, the
Additional Debtors (including the Debtors) were added as co-guarantors. That
financing facility provided for a secured, revolving line of credit through
February 13, 2005. On February 11, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court approved a
replacement financing agreement for certain of the Other Kaiser Debtors. The
replacement facility was arranged by J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. and provides
for a secured, revolving line of credit in the principal amount of $200.0
million through the earlier of February 11, 2006, the effective date of a plan
of reorganization for the Other Kaiser Debtors or the voluntary termination of
the financing facility by the Other Kaiser Debtors. Because the Debtors have
liquidated their assets and have no working operations, the Debtors are not
parties to the replacement financing agreement and the lenders under the
replacement financing agreement have no Liens on the Cash held by the Debtors.

STRATEGIC PLAN TO SELL COMMODITIES ASSETS

     In September 2002, KAC and KACC prepared a strategic plan for their
business operations. That plan envisioned the sale of some or all of their
bauxite, alumina and primary aluminum assets and the reorganization around their
fabricated products business. Thereafter, the strategic plan was shared with the
Creditors' Committee, the Asbestos Claimants' Committee and the Future Asbestos
Claimants' Representative. After these parties completed considerable due
diligence, they each indicated that they did not oppose the strategic plan.

     In furtherance of the strategic plan, the Debtors and the Other Kaiser
Debtors have sold or are in the process of selling their interests in the Joint
Ventures other than Anglesey Aluminium Limited. On July 1, 2004 the Debtors sold
their interests in Alpart. See " -- The Sale of the Alpart Interests and
Liquidation of AJI and KJC." In


                                       29
<PAGE>
October 2004, KACC sold the Gramercy/KJBC Interests for approximately $23.0
million, subject to certain adjustments. Pursuant to the Intercompany Claims
Settlement described below, approximately $4.0 million of the proceeds from that
sale will be allocated to the Debtors' Estates. Also in October 2004, certain of
the Other Kaiser Debtors sold their interests in Volta Aluminium Company
Limited, which owns a primary aluminum smelter on the coast of Ghana. In
November 2004, the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of KAAC's interests in and
related to Queensland Alumina Limited, an Australian corporation that owns an
alumina refinery in Queensland, Australia.

THE SALE OF THE ALPART INTERESTS AND LIQUIDATION OF AJI AND KJC

     Following an extensive marketing process that spanned more than seven
months, in January 2004, the Debtors and certain of the Other Kaiser Debtors
filed a motion (the "Sale Motion") to approve the sale of their respective
interests in Alpart to Glencore AG (or, if Hydro exercised its right of first
refusal ("RFR") with respect to such proposed sale, to Hydro), for $165.0
million, subject to certain adjustments. On March 23, 2004, the Open Joint Stock
Company Russian Aluminium ("RUSAL") Filed an objection to the Sale Motion,
stating that it was willing to purchase the interests in Alpart for $215.0
million. On April 6, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the "Bidding
Procedures Order") authorizing the termination of the purchase agreement with
Glencore AG and approving bidding procedures for an auction of the Debtors'
interests in Alpart. The Bidding Procedures Order included a preservation of
Hydro's RFR to purchase the interests in Alpart subsequent to the auction. An
auction was held pursuant to the Bidding Procedures Order on April 20, 2004, and
Rual Trade Limited ("Rual"), a subsidiary of RUSAL, with a bid of approximately
$331.7 million, subject to certain adjustments, was determined to be the
successful bidder. On May 25, 2004, Hydro exercised its contractual RFR to
acquire the interests in Alpart and simultaneously announced that it intended to
re-sell those interests to Glencore AG for the same price that Hydro was paying
to exercise its RFR. On May 26, 2004, the Debtors and certain of the Other
Kaiser Debtors filed a motion requesting that the auction for the interests in
Alpart be re-opened, or, in the alternative, that the Bankruptcy Court authorize
the sale of such interests to Hydro in accordance with the terms of Hydro's RFR.
On June 4, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court ordered the sale of the interests in
Alpart to Hydro. The sale of such interests to Quality, an affiliate of Hydro,
for approximately $331.7 million, subject to certain adjustments, was completed
on July 1, 2004, and immediately thereafter Glencore purchased 100% of the
equity interests in Quality.

     The Debtors estimate that, after payment of the costs and expenses of the
sale payable by the Debtors in accordance with the Intercompany Claims
Settlement, the Alpart Proceeds will be approximately $274.4 million as of the
Effective Date.

CERTAIN JAMAICAN TAX MATTERS

     The Government of Jamaica (the "GOJ") could assert that the Debtors owe
Taxes for one or more Taxable periods through the Effective Date, including
Taxes resulting from the sale of the Debtors' interest in Alpart. Pursuant to
the Alpart Purchase Agreement, transfer or stamp Taxes arising from the sale of
such interests were the responsibility of the buyer and the buyer has paid such
Taxes.

     The Plan provides that any and all Taxes ultimately determined to be due
and owing from either Debtor to the GOJ for any taxable period (including
interest and penalties, if any) will be treated as Allowed Priority Tax Claims
(if they relate to prepetition periods) or Allowed Administrative Claims (if
they relate to the administrative period) (collectively, the "Jamaican Tax
Claims"), and will be paid in full in Cash from the Priority Claims Trust
Account following the determination of the amount or amounts of any such Tax
liability. (Until this determination has been made, any potential Tax obligation
will be treated under the Plan as a Disputed Claim.) Interest and penalties
associated with any such Tax liability will be determined and calculated for
purposes of the Plan under applicable Jamaican law.

AGREEMENTS WITH LABOR REGARDING PENSION AND RETIREE MEDICAL BENEFITS

     In January 2004, KACC and one of the Other Kaiser Debtors filed motions
with the Bankruptcy Court for a distress termination of all of their domestic
hourly pension plans and to terminate or substantially modify postretirement
medical obligations for both salaried and certain hourly employees. KACC
subsequently reached agreements (collectively, the "Legacy Liability
Agreements") with the Retirees' Committee and representatives from the unions
representing the hourly employees of KACC. The Legacy Liability Agreements
provided for the


                                       30
<PAGE>
termination of existing salaried and hourly retiree benefit plans (including
medical) and provided salaried and hourly retirees with an opportunity either to
pay premiums for continued medical coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (i.e., COBRA continuation coverage) or to
elect coverage pursuant to voluntary employee beneficiary association trusts, to
which KACC has, and will continue to contribute, a certain amount of Cash and to
which KAC will contribute a certain portion of the equity it issues upon the
consummation of its chapter 11 plan. Under the Legacy Liability Agreements, the
parties also agreed to the termination of their then-existing hourly pension
plans and to the terms of one or more replacement pension plans.

     During the first half of 2004, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders
approving each of the Legacy Liability Agreements, subject to certain
conditions, including Bankruptcy Court approval of the Intercompany Claims
Settlement (described below) in a form acceptable to the Debtors, the Other
Kaiser Debtors and the Creditors' Committee. On June 1, 2004, the Bankruptcy
Court entered an order making the Legacy Liability Agreements effective,
notwithstanding that the Intercompany Claims Settlement had not then been agreed
upon or approved, and authorizing the Other Kaiser Debtors to proceed with the
implementation of those agreements, subject to certain termination rights
granted to the Creditors' Committee. As a result of the PBGC Settlement
Agreement (described below), KACC and the United Steelworkers of America,
AFL-CIO-CLC later agreed to certain modifications of their Legacy Liability
Agreement, which the Bankruptcy Court approved on November 8, 2004, subject to
finalization of a form of order. The Bankruptcy Court entered the order on
February 1, 2005.

PBGC CLAIMS

     The PBGC is a wholly owned United States government corporation that
administers the defined benefit pension plan termination insurance program under
ERISA. Pursuant to federal statute, KACC and each member of its controlled group
are jointly and severally liable to the PBGC for amounts that KACC is required
to contribute to any of the Kaiser pension plans. The controlled group includes
each of AJI and KJC, as well as all of the Other Kaiser Debtors.

     In January 2003, the PBGC filed claims against Debtors and the Other Kaiser
Debtors on behalf of each of the eight Kaiser pension plans, which included: (a)
claims for estimated unfunded benefit liabilities, totaling approximately $620.0
million; (b) unliquidated claims for missed statutory insurance premiums; and
(c) a $17.1 million claim for minimum funding contributions related to the
Salaried Pension Plan and unliquidated claims for minimum funding contributions
related to the remaining Kaiser pension plans.

     Although the Bankruptcy Court, in conjunction with approving the Legacy
Liability Agreements, had determined that the financial requirements for a
distress termination of certain of the pension plans had been satisfied and had
authorized the implementation of replacement defined contribution plans as
negotiated in the Legacy Liability Agreements, the termination of the pension
plans and implementation of the replacements plans remained subject to the
PBGC's determination that the statutory requirements had been satisfied. In
March 2004, the PBGC appealed the Bankruptcy Court's ruling that the Debtors and
the Other Kaiser Debtors had met the financial requirements for a distress
termination with respect to certain of the Kaiser pension plans. The PBGC also
informed the Debtors and the Other Kaiser Debtors that it believed that the
replacement pension plans negotiated in the Legacy Liability Agreements did not
comply with the PBGC's policies.

     On October 14, 2004, the Debtors and the Other Kaiser Debtors entered into
the PBGC Settlement Agreement, pursuant to which the PBGC approved the
termination of the largest of the Kaiser pension plans that had not previously
been terminated (two of the Kaiser pension plans had been terminated by the PBGC
prior to that date) and KACC retained, and agreed to continue, the remaining
smaller pension plans. In addition, the PBGC Settlement Agreement provides for,
among other things: (a) the PBGC's issuance of a letter indicating that it
intends to take no action with respect to the replacement pension plans; (b) the
payment by KACC of amounts necessary to satisfy the minimum funding requirements
under applicable law for the retained pension plans; (c) the allowance of
administrative claims in the aggregate amount of $14.0 million against the Other
Kaiser Debtors (including KACC) with the exception of the Debtors; and (d) the
allowance of unsecured claims against the Debtors and the Other Kaiser Debtors
for $616.0 million for unfunded benefit liabilities under the terminated plans
and statutory premiums, provided that the PBGC's recovery from the Estates of
the Debtors in respect of the PBGC Claims is limited to the PBGC Percentage of
the Cash in the Unsecured Claims Trust. On January 25, 2005, the Bankruptcy
Court entered an order approving the PBGC Settlement Agreement. On February 3,
2005, the Senior Subordinated


                                       31
<PAGE>
Note Indenture Trustee Filed a notice of appeal in respect of such order and a
notice of appeal of the Bankruptcy Court's order denying its motion for
reconsideration of the Bankruptcy Court's stay of the Senior Subordinated Note
Indenture Trustee's objection to certain PBGC Claims. See "Overview of the Plan
-- Summary of Classes and Treatment of Claims and Interests" for a description
of the treatment of the PBGC Claims.

INTERCOMPANY CLAIMS SETTLEMENT

     The operations of KAC and its subsidiaries, which included transactions
with foreign joint ventures and the use of a centralized cash management system,
gave rise to a significant number of intercompany transactions, which were
accounted for as intercompany receivables and payables. Because many of the
intercompany accounts reflected an aggregate of activity over many years, the
account balances for these intercompany receivables and payables in many cases
were substantial, in some cases aggregating more than a $1.0 billion. In
addition to the complex nature of the transactions and the significant amounts
involved, there were numerous legal theories and arguments that could be
advanced to support varying treatments of all or a portion of these intercompany
account balances or to apply principles of setoff or recoupment to eliminate or
substantially reduce certain of these intercompany account balances. Issues also
existed with respect to postpetition Intercompany Claims, including, among other
issues: (a) whether to "synchronize" the petition dates for the Original Debtors
and the Additional Debtors or otherwise how to treat Intercompany Claims that
arose after the commencement of the chapter 11 cases of the Original Debtors in
2002 but prior to the commencement of chapter 11 cases of the Additional Debtors
in 2003; and (b) how certain costs or services funded by KACC but accruing to
the benefit of the Debtors and Other Kaiser Debtors as well (e.g., professional
fees and costs incurred in the chapter 11 cases and overhead costs) should be
allocated among the Debtors and the Other Kaiser Debtors.

     On October 5, 2004, the Debtors, the Other Kaiser Debtors and the
Creditors' Committee entered into a settlement and release agreement which
resolves all of these issues (i.e., the Intercompany Claims Settlement), thereby
eliminating the potential costs, uncertainties and potential delays that could
have resulted had each of these issues been left for resolution through
litigation. On October 14, 2004, the Debtors, the Other Kaiser Debtors and the
Creditors' Committee jointly Filed a motion to approve the Intercompany Claims
Settlement (the "Joint Motion"). Objections to the Joint Motion were Filed by
numerous parties, many of which were resolved by a January 27, 2005 amendment to
the Intercompany Claims Settlement. The Bankruptcy Court entered an order
approving the Intercompany Claims Settlement on February 1, 2005, which order
was modified on February 15, 2005.

     The material terms of the Intercompany Claims Settlement (as amended)
specifically relating to the Debtors include, among others, the following:

     -    upon the effectiveness of the Intercompany Claims Settlement, various
          offsets and transfers will be effected, with the ultimate economic
          effect that Intercompany Claims held by or against the Debtors will be
          released, except as otherwise described below;

     -    upon the closing of the sale of the Debtors' interests in Alpart, KACC
          was entitled to, and received, Cash proceeds of approximately $43.0
          million;

     -    KACC will have an Allowed Administrative Claim against the Debtors in
          the amount of $22.0 million, subject to certain adjustments, including
          reductions to the extent KACC received positive net cash flow from the
          Debtors from January 1, 2004 through June 30, 2004;

     -    if the Plan becomes effective on or before April 30, 2005, the Debtors
          will pay an additional $2.5 million to KACC;

     -    upon the effectiveness of the Intercompany Claims Settlement, the
          Debtors will receive $4.0 million, less certain cost reimbursements to
          KACC in respect of KBC, from the proceeds of the sale of the
          Gramercy/KJBC Interests;

     -    the Debtors are responsible for the payment of third-party costs of
          administration of the Chapter 11 Cases incurred after June 30, 2004;
          and


                                       32
<PAGE>
     -    the Debtors are responsible for all foreign Taxes, transfer Taxes and
          recording fees payable by the Debtors as a result of the sale of their
          interests in Alpart and all other foreign taxes payable by them,
          whether for current or prior years.

For a detailed discussion of the Intercompany Claims Settlement, see the Joint
Motion, and for a summary thereof, see the supplemental notice regarding the
hearing on the Joint Motion (the "Supplemental Notice"), which was served on all
parties in interest on December 27-28, 2004. The Joint Motion and the
Supplemental Notice, as well as the January 27, 2005 amendment to the
Intercompany Claims Settlement, are available to the public over the Internet on
the Document Website (www.kaiseraluminum.com).

     The Intercompany Claims Settlement does not affect any claim by either
Debtor against any of its non-debtor affiliates or by any such affiliate against
a Debtor. However, the Debtors are not aware of the existence of any such
claims.

GUARANTY SUBORDINATION DISPUTE

     In 1993, KACC issued $400.0 million of the Senior Subordinated Notes, which
were guaranteed by certain KACC subsidiaries, including the Debtors (such
guaranty being referred to herein as the "Subsidiary Guaranty"). The Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture contains, among other things, a detailed definition
of "Senior Indebtedness," debt subordination provisions and guaranty provisions.
Under the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture, holders of the Senior Subordinated
Notes agreed "that all direct or indirect payments or distributions on or with
respect to the Notes...is [sic]...subordinated...to the prior payment in
full...of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company" and (b) "that all payments
pursuant to [the Subsidiary Guaranty] are...subordinated...to the prior payment
in full...of all Senior Indebtedness of such [s]ubsidiary [g]uarantor."

     On August 16, 2004, the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee filed a
motion (the "Guaranty Subordination Classification Motion") with the Bankruptcy
Court to determine the classification of the Senior Subordinated Note Claims
under any plans of reorganization filed by the Debtors and the Other Kaiser
Debtors that made the Subsidiary Guaranty. The Guaranty Subordination
Classification Motion asserted that the obligations to the holders of 9-7/8%
Senior Notes and 10-7/8% Senior Notes in respect of the Subsidiary Guaranty do
not constitute "Senior Indebtedness" under the applicable definitions in the
Senior Subordinated Note Indenture and that, accordingly, the obligations on the
guaranty of the Senior Subordinated Notes (i.e., the Subsidiary Guaranty) and
the guaranties of the 9-7/8% Senior Notes and 10-7/8% Senior Notes are entitled
to pari passu distributions under plans of reorganization filed by the Debtors
and the Other Kaiser Debtors that made the Subsidiary Guaranty (including the
Plan).

     On September 3, 2004, the Senior Note Parties filed a complaint (the
"Guaranty Subordination Adversary Proceeding") with the Bankruptcy Court seeking
a declaration that any payment rights of the Senior Subordinated Note Claims are
subordinate to the Senior Note Claims, or, alternatively, a reformation of the
Senior Subordinated Note Indenture to provide that the Senior Subordinated Note
Claims are junior to the Senior Note Claims. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Court's
order, on October 8, 2004, the Debtors and the Other Kaiser Debtors filed their
response to the Guaranty Subordination Classification Motion and an answer in
the Guaranty Subordination Adversary Proceeding (together with the Guaranty
Subordination Classification Motion, the "Guaranty Subordination Dispute") and
the Creditors' Committee filed its response to the Guaranty Subordination
Classification Motion. In their respective responses, the Debtors, the Other
Kaiser Debtors and the Creditors' Committee both supported the interpretation
advanced by the Senior Note Parties. The Senior Note Parties also filed
responses opposing the Guaranty Subordination Classification Motion. Liverpool
also Filed a response to the Guaranty Subordination Classification Motion,
asserting that only $100.0 million of the obligations to the holders of the
9-7/8% Senior Notes in respect of the Subsidiary Guaranty, plus associated
interest and fees, constitute "Senior Indebtedness" under the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture based on the fact that there was a reduction of
$100.0 million in the credit commitment under KACC's senior credit facility at
the time the Subsidiary Guaranty was made. Liverpool therefore contends that,
other than the Subsidiary Guaranty obligations in respect of $100.0 million of
the principal amount of the 9-7/8% Senior Notes, the 10-7/8% Senior Notes, the
9-7/8% Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes are entitled to pari passu
distributions under the Plan.


                                       33
<PAGE>
     In connection with the Guaranty Subordination Dispute and the 7-3/4% SWD
Revenue Bond Dispute (see "-- 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute"), the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee has asserted that, even if such disputes are
ultimately resolved by the Bankruptcy Court in favor of the holders of Senior
Note Claims, under the terms of the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture,
including, but not limited to, the charging lien provisions thereunder, the
Senior Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee will be entitled to the payment of
its fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee's professionals) from any funds otherwise
distributable to the holders of Senior Note Claims pursuant to the subordination
provisions of the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture, without prejudice to the
Senior Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee's right to assert, inter alia, that
its fees and expenses constitute an administrative expense claim within the
purview of sections 503 and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors do not agree
with that assertion and believe, in such circumstances, that the contractual
subordination provisions of the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture require the
payment to holders of Senior Note Claims of all amounts that would otherwise be
payable to or for the benefit of holders of Senior Subordinated Note Claims
absent such provisions and that the Debtors are not required to make any payment
in respect of the fees and expenses of the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture
Trustee; if, however, the Bankruptcy Court determines that the assertion of the
Senior Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee is correct, the ultimate recoveries
to holders of Senior Note Claims may be reduced.

     On October 25, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on the
Guaranty Subordination Dispute and ordered the parties to attempt to
consensually resolve the Guaranty Subordination Dispute, as well as the 7-3/4%
SWD Revenue Bond Dispute, through mediation. On November 18, 2004, the parties
participated in a day-long mediation. To date, the parties to the Guaranty
Subordination Dispute have not reached a settlement, although the mediator has
not, as yet, terminated the mediation proceedings. No further mediation sessions
are currently scheduled.

     On December 2, 2004, the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee Filed a
motion in the Guaranty Subordination Adversary Proceeding requesting that the
Bankruptcy Court order the parties to file briefs regarding the Guaranty
Subordination Dispute by January 10, 2005, and hold an oral summary judgment
argument on January 24, 2005.

     On December 10, 2004, the Debtors, the Other Kaiser Debtors and the Senior
Note Parties Filed a joint motion to stay the Guaranty Subordination Adversary
Proceeding and the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute pending the completion of the
confirmation process for plans of liquidation for the Debtors, KAAC and KFC and
requesting that the Guaranty Subordination Dispute be adjudicated in connection
with confirmation of such plans if the proposed settlement of the dispute
included in each such plan was not accepted. On the same date, Liverpool Filed a
motion requesting that the Bankruptcy Court either (a) consolidate litigation
concerning the Guaranty Subordination Dispute or (b) permit Liverpool to
intervene as a defendant in the Guaranty Subordination Adversary Proceeding.

     On January 24, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court stayed the Guaranty Subordination
Adversary Proceeding and ruled that the Guaranty Subordination Dispute and
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute will be adjudicated in connection with the
confirmation of the plans of liquidation for the Debtors, KAAC and KFC. The
confirmation hearing for the Plan and KAAC/KFC Plan is currently scheduled for
April 13, 2005 and may be continued from time to time.

     The Plan contains the following proposed settlement of the Guaranty
Subordination Dispute as it relates to the Debtors: If both Subclass 3A and
Subclass 3B vote to accept the Plan, a holder of an Allowed Senior Subordinated
Note Claim will receive its Pro Rata Share of $8.0 million (less any fees or
expenses payable to the Senior Subordinated Note Trustee pursuant to the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture) and a holder of an Allowed Senior Note Claim will
receive its Pro Rata Share of the Public Note Distributable Consideration
remaining after giving effect to the payment of the $8.0 million to be made to
the holders of Senior Subordinated Note Claims, the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond
Payment, the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs' Expense Payment and the Senior
Notes Fee Payments. If either Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B fails to accept the
Plan, the Bankruptcy Court will resolve the Guaranty Subordination Dispute with
respect to the Debtors and determine the distributions to be made to the holders
of Claims in Subclass 3A from the Public Note Distributable Consideration and
any distributions to be made to holders of Claims in Subclass 3B from the Public
Note Distributable Consideration. In such event, the distributions ultimately
made to a holder of an Allowed Senior Note Claim will be reduced by such
holder's


                                       34
<PAGE>
proportional share of the Senior Notes Fee Payments and, if the Bankruptcy Court
determines that holders of Allowed Senior Subordinated Note Claims are not
entitled to any portion of the Subclass 3A Distributable Consideration, the
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Payment (or reservation in lieu thereof), if any, and
any 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs' Expense Payment. Similarly, any
distributions ultimately made to a holder of an Allowed Senior Subordinated Note
Claim may be reduced by such holder's proportional share of any and all fees and
expenses payable to the Senior Subordinated Note Trustee, pursuant to the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture. If the Bankruptcy Court is required to resolve the
Guaranty Subordination Dispute as described above, parties involved in that
litigation could appeal the Bankruptcy Court's ruling and request a stay that,
if granted, would prohibit, pending the conclusion of any such appeal, the
distribution of some or all of the Public Note Distributable Consideration to be
distributed to holders of Claims in Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B in accordance
with such ruling.

     Similarly, pursuant to the KAAC/KFC Plan, if holders of both the Senior
Note Claims and the Senior Subordinated Note Claims vote to accept the KAAC/KFC
Plan, then an additional $8.0 million will be paid to the Senior Subordinated
Note Indenture Trustee for the benefit of holders of Senior Subordinated Note
Claims (resulting in aggregate consideration of $16.0 million if the Plan is
also accepted by the holders of the Senior Note Claims and the Senior
Subordinated Note Claims), with such amount to be paid from consideration that
would otherwise be distributed to holders of Allowed Senior Note Claims under
the KAAC/KFC Plan, and the holders of Senior Note Claims would receive a
specified percentage of the Cash and other property available for distribution
to the holders of unsecured claims (less certain payments or reservations of
payment therefrom). If the holders of the Senior Note Claims or the Senior
Subordinated Note Claims fail to accept the KAAC/KFC Plan, the Bankruptcy Court
would resolve the Guaranty Subordination Dispute with respect to KAAC and KFC
and determine the distributions to be made to the holders of Senior Note Claims
and any distributions to be made to holders of Senior Subordinated Note Claims
under the KAAC/KFC Plan.

7-3/4% SWD REVENUE BOND DISPUTE

     The 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds Indenture Trustee has asserted entitlement to
receive any direct or indirect payment or distribution on or with respect to the
Senior Subordinated Notes. The Debtors are guarantors of the Senior Subordinated
Notes but are not guarantors of the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds.

     On January 13, 2004, the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds Indenture Trustee and
certain holders of the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds (collectively, the "7-3/4% SWD
Revenue Bond Plaintiffs") filed an adversary proceeding (i.e., the 7-3/4% SWD
Revenue Bond Dispute) against the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee and
KACC. This adversary proceeding is currently pending before the Bankruptcy
Court. At issue is whether KACC properly designated the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds
as senior indebtedness under the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture or whether
the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds are otherwise entitled to treatment as senior
indebtedness vis-a-vis the Senior Subordinated Notes. It is the position of the
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs that the holders of the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue
Bonds have subordination claims in respect of any distributions on the Senior
Subordinated Notes under the Plan. In response to the complaint, KACC stated
that it had not been able to confirm that it provided the Senior Subordinated
Note Indenture Trustee with a written designation that the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue
Bonds constitute senior indebtedness, which designation would subordinate the
indebtedness under the Senior Subordinated Notes to the indebtedness under the
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds.

     On March 26, 2004, the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee filed a
motion to dismiss the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute for failure to join
necessary parties such as the Senior Note Indenture Trustee. On May 4, 2004, the
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment,
requesting that the Bankruptcy Court either: (a) declare that KACC be deemed to
have submitted the appropriate designation of senior indebtedness; (b) order
KACC to designate the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds as senior indebtedness; or (c)
declare that the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds are senior in terms of payment
priority to the Senior Subordinated Notes. Shortly thereafter, the Senior
Subordinated Note Trustee filed a motion to stay all proceedings pending the
Bankruptcy Court's decision on the motion to dismiss the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond
Dispute. KACC subsequently joined the motion to stay proceedings.

     On October 25, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court held a status conference on the
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute and ordered the parties to attempt to
consensually resolve the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute, as well


                                       35
<PAGE>
as the Guaranty Subordination Dispute, through mediation. On November 18, 2004,
the parties to the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute participated in a day-long
mediation but failed to reach a settlement.

     On November 29, 2004, the Bankruptcy Court entered orders permitting the
Senior Note Indenture Trustee to intervene as a defendant in the proceeding and
denying the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee's motion to dismiss the
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute.

     On December 10, 2004, the Debtors, the Other Kaiser Debtors and the Senior
Note Parties Filed a joint motion to stay the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute
and the Guaranty Subordination Adversary Proceeding pending the completion of
the confirmation process for plans of liquidation for the Debtors, KAAC and KFC
and requesting that the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute be adjudicated, along
with the Guaranty Subordination Dispute if necessary, in connection with the
confirmation of such plans.

     On December 17, 2004, the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee filed
an answer in the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute that included, among other
things: (a) a counterclaim for declaratory judgment that the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue
Bonds are not senior to the Senior Subordinated Notes; (b) a counterclaim
against the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs for reimbursement of legal
expenses incurred by the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee; (c) a cross
claim against KACC for indemnification in the amount of any judgment that may be
rendered in favor of the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs against the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee; and (d) a complaint against certain of the
Debtors and Other Kaiser Debtors for indemnification in the amount of any
judgment that may be rendered in favor of the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Plaintiffs
against the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee.

     On January 24, 2005, the Bankruptcy Court stayed the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue
Bond Dispute and ruled that the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute and the Guaranty
Subordination Dispute will be adjudicated in connection with the confirmation of
the plans of liquidation for the Debtors, KAAC and KFC. The confirmation hearing
for the Plan and KAAC/KFC Plan is currently scheduled for April 13, 2005 and may
be continued from time to time.

     In connection with the development and proposal of the Plan,
representatives of certain of the holders of Senior Note Claims and 7-3/4% SWD
Revenue Bonds entered into negotiations in an attempt to reach a settlement in
respect of the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute. In early February, such
representatives reached an agreement on a proposed settlement of that Dispute.
Such settlement, as it relates to the Debtors, is reflected in the Plan as
follows: If (a) Subclass 3A votes to accept the Plan in accordance with section
1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) unless the holders of Senior Note Claims
otherwise agree pursuant to a settlement, all holders of Allowed Senior Note
Claims are entitled under the Plan to identical treatment in respect of
contractual subordination claims under the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture,
then, on the Effective Date, an amount equal to the Settlement Percentage of the
Cash in the Unsecured Claims Trust Account that would otherwise have been
distributed in respect of the Senior Subordinated Note Claims but which, after
giving effect to the contractual subordination provisions of the Senior
Subordinated Note Indenture and pursuant to Sections 2.4(c)(i) and 2.4(c)(ii) of
the Plan (but prior to giving effect to any 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Payment), is
to be paid to holders of Senior Note Claims will, in full and complete
satisfaction of the claims of holders of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds asserted in
the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute in respect of the Debtors, be paid to the
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Indenture Trustee for the benefit of holders of 7-3/4%
SWD Revenue Bonds (i.e., the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Payment). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in no event will the amount so paid, when aggregated with any
amount payable under any comparable provision of the KAAC/KFC Plan, exceed $8.0
million. If the Debtors do not File a separate motion, the Plan will serve as a
motion pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019 seeking entry of an order approving the
settlement described elsewhere in this Disclosure Statement. Unless an objection
to such settlement is made in writing by any creditor or claimant affected
thereby, Filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on the parties identified in
Section 12.6 of the Plan on or before April 5, 2005, such order (which will be
the Confirmation Order) may be entered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event any
such objections are timely Filed, a hearing with respect thereto will occur at
the Confirmation Hearing. If Subclass 3A fails to accept the Plan in accordance
with section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, the rights, if any, of the holders
of 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds to payments from the Public Note Distributable
Consideration will be as determined in an order of the Bankruptcy Court (which
may be the Confirmation Order) in connection with the determinations
contemplated by Sections 2.4(c)(i)(B) and 2.4(c)(ii)(B) of the Plan; provided
that if the determination with respect to the rights of the holders of 7-3/4%
SWD Revenue Bonds to such payment has not been made by the Bankruptcy Court
prior to the


                                       36
<PAGE>
Effective Date, then, in order to ensure the funding of such payment, on the
Effective Date the Distribution Trustee will reserve from the Public Note
Distributable Consideration any amount that may be ordered by the Bankruptcy
Court to be so reserved pending such determination. See "Overview of the Plan --
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Dispute."

     The proposed settlement also contemplates that similar provisions will be
included in the KAAC/KFC Plan and that, under any plan of reorganization for
KACC, the holders of claims against KACC in respect of the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue
Bonds and the Senior Notes will share pro rata in any contractual subordination
recoveries pursuant to the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture.

                     GENERAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE PLAN

     THE FOLLOWING IS A SUMMARY OF SOME OF THE SIGNIFICANT ELEMENTS OF THE PLAN.
THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE MORE
DETAILED INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THE PLAN ATTACHED HERETO AS EXHIBIT I AND THE
EXHIBIT THERETO.

SUBSTANTIVE CONSOLIDATION

     In connection with confirmation of the Plan, the Debtors will seek
Bankruptcy Court approval of the substantive consolidation of the Debtors for
the purpose of implementing the Plan, including for purposes of voting,
confirmation and distributions to be made under the Plan. Pursuant to the
relevant order of the Bankruptcy Court: (a) all assets and liabilities of the
Debtors will be deemed merged; (b) all guarantees by, or co-obligations of, one
Debtor in respect of the obligations of the other Debtor will be deemed
eliminated so that any Claim against either Debtor and any guarantee by, or
co-obligation of, the other Debtor and any joint or several liability of either
of the Debtors will be deemed to be one obligation of the consolidated Debtors;
and (c) each and every Claim Filed or to be Filed in the Chapter 11 Case of
either Debtor will be deemed Filed against the consolidated Debtors and will be
deemed one Claim against and a single obligation of the consolidated Debtors.
Such substantive consolidation (other than for the purpose of implementing the
Plan) will not affect the legal and corporate structures of the Debtors, nor
will such substantive consolidation affect or be deemed to affect any
Intercompany Claim in any manner contrary to the Intercompany Claims Settlement,
nor will such substantive consolidation be deemed to affect any Other Kaiser
Debtor or claims against any Other Kaiser Debtor. Because the Debtors have the
same joint creditors, creditors of the Debtors would receive exactly the same
distributions on their Claims whether or not the Debtors are substantively
consolidated. Accordingly, substantive consolidation is being sought solely for
administrative convenience.

     The Plan will serve as a motion seeking entry of an order substantively
consolidating the Debtors, as described, and to the limited extent set forth in,
the immediately preceding paragraph. Unless an objection to such substantive
consolidation is made in writing by any creditor or claimant affected by the
Plan, Filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on the parties entitled to
notice thereof pursuant to the Plan on or before April 5, 2005, or such other
date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court, the substantive consolidation
order (which will be the Confirmation Order) may be entered by the Bankruptcy
Court. In the event any such objections are timely Filed, a hearing with respect
thereto will occur at the Confirmation Hearing.

EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES TO BE REJECTED

     On the Effective Date, except for an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease
that previously was assumed and assigned or rejected by an order of the
Bankruptcy Court, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease entered into by a
Debtor prior to the Petition Date that has not previously expired or terminated
pursuant to its own terms will be rejected pursuant to section 365 of the
Bankruptcy Code. The Confirmation Order will constitute an order of the
Bankruptcy Court approving such rejections, pursuant to section 365 of the
Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date.

     Notwithstanding anything in the Bar Date Order or in the Administrative
Claim Bar Date Order to the contrary, if the rejection of an Executory Contract
or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan gives rise to a Claim by


                                       37
<PAGE>
the other party or parties to such contract or lease, such Claim will be forever
barred and will not be enforceable against the Debtors, the Distribution
Trustee, the Debtors' Estates or the Trust Accounts unless a proof of Claim or
request for payment of Administrative Claim is Filed and served on the
Distribution Trustee, pursuant to the procedures specified in the Confirmation
Order, the notice of the entry of the Confirmation Order or another order of the
Bankruptcy Court, no later than 30 days after the Effective Date.

COMMITTEE, ITS MEMBERS, ANY INDENTURE TRUSTEE, EITHER DEBTOR AND ANY OF THEIR
RESPECTIVE PRESENT OR FORMER DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS,

MISCONDUCT; (B) IF THE HOLDERS OF THE SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTE CLAIMS ARE

ANY SUCH PERSON RELATED TO OR GIVING RISE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES UNDERLYING ANY OF

(C) THE ADVERSARY PROCEEDING FILED AUGUST 16, 2004, AND STYLED U.S. BANK

     As of the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy
of which is confirmed by the Plan, the Debtors on behalf of themselves, their
Estates, creditors and Interest holders will be deemed to release, waive and
discharge all claims and rights of any nature in connection with or related to
the Debtors, the Chapter 11 Cases or the Plan (other than the rights of the
Distribution Trustee to enforce the Plan and any contracts, instruments,
releases and other agreements and documents delivered thereunder, and to pursue
objections to and resolve Disputed Claims), whether liquidated or unliquidated,
fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, known or unknown, foreseen or
unforeseen, then existing or thereafter arising (including, without limitation,
those arising under the Bankruptcy Code), based on any act, omission or
occurrence on or before the Effective Date, against the Creditors' Committee,
its members, any Indenture Trustee, any of the Debtors' present or former
directors or officers, or any of the respective present or former directors,
officers, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, accountants, underwriters,
investment bankers or other representatives of the Debtors, the Creditors'
Committee, its members, or the Indenture Trustees, acting in such capacity,
except for such Claims or rights based on: (a) acts or omissions of any such
person constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct; (b) if the holders
of the Senior Subordinated Note Claims are determined by the order contemplated
by Sections 2.4(c)(i)(B) and 2.4(c)(ii)(B) to be entitled to a distribution in
respect to such Claims, acts or omissions of any such person related to or
giving rise to the circumstances underlying any of the Contractual Subordination
Disputes; or (c) contractual obligations of, or loans owed by, any such person
to a Debtor.

     The Debtors, the Distribution Trust, the Distribution Trustee, the
Indenture Trustees and their respective directors, officers, employees and
professionals, acting in such capacity, and the Creditors' Committee, its
members and their respective professionals will neither have nor incur any
liability to any entity for any act taken or omitted


                                       38
<PAGE>
to be taken in connection with or related to the formulation, preparation,
dissemination, implementation, confirmation or consummation of the Plan, this
Disclosure Statement, or any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or
document created or entered into, or any other act taken or omitted to be taken,
in connection with the Plan; such provisions will have no effect on: (a) the
liability of any entity that would otherwise result from the failure to perform
or pay any obligation or liability under the Plan or any contract, instrument,
release or other agreement or document to be entered into or delivered in
connection with the Plan; or (b) the liability of any entity that would
otherwise result from any such act or omission to the extent that such act or
omission is determined in a Final Order to have constituted gross negligence or
willful misconduct.

     INJUNCTIONS

     EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THE PLAN OR THE CONFIRMATION ORDER, AS OF
THE EFFECTIVE DATE, ALL ENTITIES THAT HAVE HELD, CURRENTLY HOLD OR MAY HOLD A
CLAIM OR OTHER DEBT OR LIABILITY OF THE DEBTORS, OR AN INTEREST OR OTHER RIGHT
OF AN EQUITY SECURITY HOLDER WITH RESPECT TO THE DEBTORS, THAT IS RELEASED,
WAIVED, SETTLED OR DEEMED SATISFIED PURSUANT TO THE PLAN WILL BE PERMANENTLY
ENJOINED FROM TAKING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS ON ACCOUNT OF ANY SUCH CLAIMS,
DEBTS, LIABILITIES, INTERESTS OR RIGHTS: (A) COMMENCING OR CONTINUING IN ANY
MANNER ANY ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING AGAINST THE DEBTORS, THE DISTRIBUTION
TRUST, THE DISTRIBUTION TRUSTEE OR THE PROPERTY OF ANY OF THEM OTHER THAN TO
ENFORCE ANY RIGHT PURSUANT TO THE PLAN TO A DISTRIBUTION FROM THE TRUST
ACCOUNTS; (B) ENFORCING, ATTACHING, COLLECTING OR RECOVERING IN ANY MANNER ANY
JUDGMENT, AWARD, DECREE OR ORDER AGAINST THE DEBTORS, THE DISTRIBUTION TRUST OR
THE DISTRIBUTION TRUSTEE, OTHER THAN AS DESCRIBED IN (A) ABOVE; (C) CREATING,
PERFECTING OR ENFORCING ANY LIEN OR ENCUMBRANCE AGAINST THE DEBTORS, THE
DISTRIBUTION TRUST, THE PROPERTY OF ANY OF THEM OR THE TRUST ACCOUNTS; (D)
ASSERTING A SETOFF, RIGHT OF SUBROGATION OR RECOUPMENT OF ANY KIND AGAINST ANY
DEBT, LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION DUE TO THE DISTRIBUTION TRUST; AND (E) COMMENCING
OR CONTINUING ANY ACTION, IN ANY MANNER, IN ANY PLACE THAT DOES NOT COMPLY WITH
OR IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN.

     PRESERVATION OF INSURANCE

     Nothing in the Plan will diminish or impair the enforceability of any
insurance policies that may cover Claims against either Debtor.

     Nothing in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order shall preclude any entity
from asserting in any proceeding any and all claims, defenses, rights or causes
of action that it has or may have under or in connection with any insurance
policy or insurance settlement agreement. Nothing in the Plan or the
Confirmation Order shall be deemed to waive any claims, defense, rights or
causes of action that any entity has or may have under the provisions, terms,
conditions, defenses and/or exclusions contained in such policies or
settlements.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing paragraph and the
substantial consummation of the Plan, in connection with any possible
settlements made in any of the Kaiser Cases which concern any insurance
policies, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction over the Chapter 11
Cases to issue or approve buybacks of such insurance policies under section 363
of the Bankruptcy Code and/or to issue or approve injunctions, releases and/or
exculpations under the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation, section
105 of the Bankruptcy Code) for purposes of, inter alia, protecting any such
settling insurers against claims or demands made against the Debtors. In this
regard, as between KACC and the Debtors, KACC will have full and sole right and
authority to settle, release, compromise and enter into buybacks by insurers of
insurance policies as to which the Debtors, or any of them, have or may assert
rights as an insured. The Debtors shall not be entitled to any consideration or
other value as a result of any such exercise of rights by KACC.

     NO DISCHARGE

     In accordance with section 1141(d)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, the
confirmation of the Plan will not discharge either Debtor.


                                       39

MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

     LIQUIDATING TRANSACTIONS

     On the Effective Date, the Distribution Trust Assets will be transferred to
and vest in the Distribution Trust, free and clear of Claims, Liens and
Interests, except as may be otherwise provided in the Intercompany Claims
Settlement. On or after the Effective Date, the Debtors will enter into such
transactions and will take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to
merge, dissolve or otherwise terminate the corporate existence of the Debtors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing and regardless of whether the actions in the
preceding sentence have yet been taken with respect to a particular Debtor, upon
the transfer of the Distribution Trust Assets to the Distribution Trust, the
Debtors will be deemed dissolved and their business operations withdrawn for all
purposes without any necessity of filing any document, taking any further action
or making any payment to any governmental authority in connection therewith.

     CORPORATE ACTION

     The following (which will occur and be deemed effective as of the date
specified in the documents effectuating the same or, if no date is so specified,
the Effective Date) will be deemed authorized and approved in all respects and
for all purposes without any requirement of further action by KACC, as the sole
stockholder of each Debtor, by the directors of either Debtor or by the
Distribution Trustee or any other person or entity:

     -    the Liquidating Transactions;

     -    the establishment of the Distribution Trust;

     -    the appointment of the Distribution Trustee to act on behalf of the
          Distribution Trust;

     -    the transfer of the Distribution Trust Assets to the Distribution
          Trust;

     -    the creation of the Trust Accounts;

     -    the distribution of Cash pursuant to the Plan;

     -    the adoption, execution, delivery and implementation of all contracts,
          instruments, releases and other agreements or documents related to any
          of the foregoing;

     -    the adoption, execution and implementation of the Distribution Trust
          Agreement; and

     -    the other matters provided for under the Plan involving the corporate
          structure of either Debtor or corporate action to be taken by, or
          required of, either Debtor or the Distribution Trustee.

     NO REVESTING OF ASSETS

     The property of the Debtors' Estates will not revest in the Debtors on or
after the Effective Date but will vest in the Distribution Trust to be
administered by the Distribution Trustee in accordance with the Plan and the
Distribution Trust Agreement.

     RECOURSE SOLELY TO TRUST ACCOUNTS

     The Liquidating Transactions will not in any way merge the assets of the
Debtors' Estates, including the Trust Accounts. All Claims against the Debtors
are deemed fully satisfied in exchange for the treatment of such Claims under
the Plan, and holders of Allowed Claims against either Debtor will have recourse
solely to the applicable Trust Accounts for the payment of their Allowed Claims
in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

     RELEASE OF LIENS

     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument,
release or other agreement or document entered into or delivered in connection
with the Plan, on the Effective Date all Liens against the property


                                       40
<PAGE>
of either Estate will be fully released, and all of the right, title and
interest of any holder of such Liens, including any rights to any collateral
thereunder, will attach to and be enforceable solely against the applicable
Distribution Trust Assets held in the applicable Trust Account in accordance
with, and subject to the terms of, the Plan. All such Liens against the
Distribution Trust Assets will be fully released upon the holder of the Lien
receiving its full distribution under the Plan, or upon the Effective Date if
the holder of the Lien is not entitled to any distribution under the Plan.

     EXEMPTION FROM CERTAIN TAXES

     Pursuant to section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, the following will not
be subject to any stamp Tax, real estate transfer Tax, sales or use Tax or
similar Tax: (a) any Liquidating Transaction; (b) the execution and
implementation of the Distribution Trust Agreement, including any transfers to
or by the Distribution Trust; or (c) the making or delivery of any deed or other
instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of or in connection with the Plan,
including any merger agreements or agreements of consolidation, disposition,
liquidation or dissolution executed in connection with any transaction pursuant
to the Plan.

DISTRIBUTION TRUST

     CREATION OF THE DISTRIBUTION TRUST

     On the Effective Date, the Debtors and the Distribution Trustee will enter
into the Distribution Trust Agreement, thereby creating the Distribution Trust.

     The Distribution Trustee, whose identity and address will be disclosed at
least ten days prior to the Confirmation Hearing, will be selected by the
Creditors' Committee with the consent of the Debtors, and will be the exclusive
trustee of the assets of the Distribution Trust for purposes of 31 U.S.C.
Section 3713(b) and 26 U.S.C. Section 6012(b)(3), as well as the "representative
of the estate" of each of the Debtors under section 1123(b)(3)(B) of the
Bankruptcy Code.

     On the Effective Date, the Debtors will transfer to the Distribution Trust
all the Distribution Trust Assets then owned by the Estates, whereupon title to
such Distribution Trust Assets will irrevocably vest in the Distribution Trust,
free and clear of Claims, Liens and Interests.

     DISTRIBUTION TRUST ASSETS

     The Distribution Trust Assets include: (a) the Trust Accounts and any Cash
held by such Trust Accounts; (b) the rights of the Debtors under or in respect
of the Intercompany Claims Settlement, the Alpart Purchase Agreement or any
causes of action not released by the Plan, including the Recovery Actions, and
any proceeds thereof; and (c) the Alpart Proceeds to the extent that such funds
are not included in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b).

     PURPOSES OF THE DISTRIBUTION TRUST

     The Distribution Trust will be established pursuant to the Distribution
Trust Agreement for the following purposes and no other:

     -    collecting, maintaining and administering any Distribution Trust
          Assets for the benefit of the creditors and claimants of the Estates
          (collectively, the "Beneficiaries");

     -    liquidating (including objecting to Claims and determining the proper
          recipients and amounts of distributions to be made from the
          Distribution Trust) and distributing the Distribution Trust Assets for
          the benefit of the Beneficiaries who are determined to hold Allowed
          Claims as expeditiously as reasonably possible;

     -    pursuing available causes of action, including Recovery Actions;

     -    closing the Chapter 11 Cases; and


                                       41
<PAGE>
     -    otherwise implementing the Plan and completing the dissolution of the
          Debtors;

all in accordance with the Plan and the Distribution Trust Agreement. The
Distribution Trust will have no objective to, and will not, engage in the
conduct of a trade or business and will terminate upon the completion of its
liquidation and distribution duties pursuant to the terms of the Distribution
Trust Agreement.

     TAX TREATMENT

     The Distribution Trust is intended to be treated, for U.S. federal income
Tax purposes, in part as a liquidating trust within the meaning of Treasury
Regulations section 301.7701-4(d), for the benefit of the holders of Allowed
Claims entitled to distributions of Pending Payments (as defined below), and
otherwise as one or more disputed ownership funds within the meaning of Proposed
Treasury Regulations section 1.468B-9(a), as more specifically provided for
under the Distribution Trust Agreement. Accordingly, for all federal income Tax
purposes the transfer of Distribution Trust Assets to the Distribution Trust
will be treated as: (a) to the extent of identified amounts (excluding
undeliverable Cash) held by the Distribution Trust for distribution to holders
of Allowed Claims in specific amounts as of the date the Distribution Trust
receives the applicable Distribution Trust Assets ("Pending Payments"), a
transfer of the Pending Payments directly from the Debtors to the holders of
such Allowed Claims followed by the transfer of such Pending Payments by the
holders of Allowed Claims to the Distribution Trust in exchange for beneficial
interests in the Distribution Trust; and (b) to the extent of amounts that are
not Pending Payments, as a transfer to one or more disputed ownership funds. The
holders of Allowed Claims entitled to distributions of Pending Payments will be
treated for federal income Tax purposes as the grantors and deemed owners of
their respective shares of the Distribution Trust Assets in the amounts of the
Pending Payments and any earnings thereon.

     The Distribution Trustee will be required by the Distribution Trust
Agreement to file federal Tax returns for the Distribution Trust as a grantor
trust with respect to any Pending Payments and as one or more disputed ownership
funds with respect to all other funds or other property held by the Distribution
Trust pursuant to applicable Treasury Regulations, and any income of the
Distribution Trust will be treated as subject to Tax on a current basis. The
Distribution Trust Agreement will provide that the Distribution Trustee will pay
such Taxes from the Distribution Trust Assets as required by law and in
accordance with the provisions of the Plan described in "Distributions Under the
Plan -- Treatment of Disputed Claims." In addition, the Distribution Trust
Agreement will require consistent valuation by the Distribution Trustee and the
Beneficiaries, for all federal income Tax purposes, of any property held by the
Distribution Trust. The Distribution Trust Agreement will provide that
termination of the trust will occur no later than two years after the Effective
Date, unless the Bankruptcy Court approves an extension based upon a finding
that such an extension is necessary for the Distribution Trust to complete its
claims resolution and liquidating purpose. The Distribution Trust Agreement also
will limit the investment powers of the Distribution Trustee in accordance with
IRS Rev. Proc. 94-45 and will require the Distribution Trust to distribute at
least annually to the Beneficiaries (as such may have been determined at such
time) its net income (net of any payment of or provision for Taxes), except for
amounts retained as reasonably necessary to maintain the value of the
Distribution Trust Assets or to meet Claims and contingent liabilities
(including Disputed Claims).

     TRUST ACCOUNTS

     On or prior to the Effective Date, the Trust Accounts will be established
in federal insured United States banks in the name of the Distribution Trustee
or one or more third-party Disbursing Agents. On the Effective Date, the Trust
Accounts and the contents thereof will be transferred to, and irrevocably vest
in, the Distribution Trust.

          Distribution Trust Expenses Account

     No later than ten days prior to the commencement of the Confirmation
Hearing, the Creditors' Committee and the Debtors will agree on the amount to be
funded into the Distribution Trust Expenses Account on the Effective Date. On
the Effective Date, the Distribution Trust Expenses Account will be funded by
the transfer of Cash in such amount from the Distribution Trust Assets. The
Distribution Trustee will act as the Disbursing Agent for the Distribution Trust
Expenses Account. See "Overview of the Plan -- Sources and Uses of Cash."


                                       42
<PAGE>
     Except as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, the Distribution
Trustee, in its capacity as Disbursing Agent, will, in its reasonable
discretion, pay Distribution Trust Expenses from the Distribution Trust Expenses
Account, without the need for further Bankruptcy Court approval. Cash in the
Distribution Trust Expenses Account will also be used to pay Taxes owing in
respect of any amounts included in the Distribution Trust Expenses Account in
accordance with the Distribution Trust Agreement. At least five Business Days
prior to making any payment from the Distribution Trust Expenses Account, the
Distribution Trustee will provide the Steering Committee with a notice setting
forth the amount and nature of such payment, with such notice to be accompanied
by supporting documentation in reasonable detail.

     If, at any time after the initial funding of the Distribution Trust
Expenses Account as contemplated above, the Distribution Trustee determines, in
its reasonable discretion, that the Cash balance of the Distribution Trust
Expenses Account will be insufficient to make all payments payable therefrom in
accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Distribution Trust Agreement, the
Distribution Trustee may transfer from the Unsecured Claims Trust Account (to
the extent Cash remains available therein) to the Distribution Trust Expenses
Account Cash in an aggregate amount determined by the Distribution Trustee, in
its reasonable discretion, to be necessary to ensure that the Cash balance of
the Distribution Trust Expenses Account will be sufficient to make all such
payments. To the fullest extent possible, any transfer described in this
paragraph will be accomplished in a manner intended to avoid or minimize any
adverse impact on the ability to make full distributions to holders of Allowed
Secured Claims, Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Claims and
Allowed Priority Tax Claims or distributions to holders of Allowed Unsecured
Claims in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

     If, at any time after the initial funding of the Distribution Trust
Expenses Account as contemplated above, the Distribution Trustee determines that
the Cash balance of the Distribution Trust Expenses Account is in excess of the
amount that will be sufficient to make all payments payable therefrom in
accordance with the terms of the Plan and the Distribution Trust Agreement, the
Distribution Trustee, with the consent of the Steering Committee, acting through
a majority thereof, may transfer such excess Cash to the Unsecured Claims Trust
Account.

          Priority Claims Trust Account

     No later than ten days prior to the commencement of the Confirmation
Hearing, the Creditors' Committee and the Debtors will agree on the amount to be
funded into the Priority Claims Trust Account on the Effective Date. On the
Effective Date, the Priority Claims Trust Account will be funded by the transfer
of Cash in such amount from the Distribution Trust Assets. For purposes of the
funding of the Priority Claims Trust Account, any and all Taxes ultimately
determined to be due and owing from the Debtors to the Government of Jamaica for
any taxable period (including interest and penalties, if any, determined and
calculated under applicable Jamaican law without regard to the provisions of
section 502(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of U.S. federal,
state or local law) will be treated as Allowed Priority Tax Claims or Allowed
Administrative Claims, as the case may be, and will be paid in full in Cash in
accordance with the Plan following the determination of the amount or amounts of
such Tax liability. Until such determination, any such potential Tax obligation
in respect of the Jamaican Tax Claims will be treated as a Disputed Claim. See
"Overview of the Plan -- Sources and Uses of Cash" and "Operations During the
Chapter 11 Cases -- Certain Jamaican Tax Matters."

     Cash in the Priority Claims Trust Account will be used by the Distribution
Trustee only to (a) satisfy Allowed Administrative Claims, Allowed Priority Tax
Claims, Allowed Priority Claims and Allowed Secured Claims against the Estate of
AJI or the Estate of KJC in accordance with the terms of the Plan and (b) pay
Taxes owing in respect of any amounts included in the Priority Claims Trust
Account in accordance with the Distribution Trust Agreement.

     If, at any time after the initial funding of the Priority Claims Trust
Account as contemplated above, the Distribution Trustee determines, in its
reasonable discretion, that the Cash balance of the Priority Claims Trust
Account is insufficient to make all payments payable therefrom in accordance
with the terms of the Plan and the Distribution Trust Agreement, the
Distribution Trustee will transfer from the Unsecured Claims Trust Account (to
the extent Cash remains available therein) to the Priority Claims Trust Account
Cash in an amount determined by the Distribution Trustee, in its reasonable
discretion, to be necessary to ensure that the Cash balance of the Priority
Claims Trust Account will be sufficient to so make all such payments. To the
fullest extent possible, any transfer


                                       43
<PAGE>
described in this paragraph will be accomplished in a manner intended to avoid
or minimize any adverse impact on the ability to make distributions to holders
of Allowed Unsecured Claims in accordance with the Plan.

     If, at any time after the initial funding of the Priority Claims Trust
Account described above, the Distribution Trustee determines that the Cash
balance of the Priority Claims Trust Account is in excess of the amount that
will be sufficient to make all payments payable therefrom in accordance with the
Plan and the Distribution Trust Agreement, the Distribution Trustee, with the
consent of the Steering Committee, acting through a majority thereof, may
transfer such excess Cash to the Unsecured Claims Trust Account.

          Unsecured Claims Trust Account

     On the Effective Date, after the initial funding of the Distribution Trust
Expenses Account as described in "Distribution Trust Expenses Account" above and
the initial funding of the Priority Claims Trust Account as described in
"Priority Claims Trust Account" above, the Distribution Trustee will (a) from
the Distribution Trust Assets, (i) make an allowance for the allocation to the
Public Note Distributable Consideration of, and pay therefrom, an amount equal
to the aggregate fees payable to the Senior Note Parties pursuant to the Plan up
to an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.5 million (i.e., up to $1.5 million of
the Senior Notes Fee Payments) and (ii) make any Intercompany Settlement
Payments and (b) thereafter fund the Unsecured Claims Trust Account with the
remainder of the Distribution Trust Assets, all as provided in the Distribution
Trust Agreement.

     Cash in the Unsecured Claims Trust Account will be used by the Distribution
Trustee only to (a) satisfy Allowed Unsecured Claims against the Estate of AJI
or the Estate of KJC in accordance with the terms of the Plan, (b) pay amounts
to be deducted from the Public Note Distributable Consideration in accordance
with the terms of the Plan (except the extent allowance has been made therefor
as described in clause (a)(i) in the immediately preceding paragraph), and (c)
pay Taxes owing in respect of any amounts included in the Unsecured Claims Trust
Account.

          Disputed Claims Reserve

     It is currently contemplated that, on the Effective Date, in connection
with the initial funding of the Priority Claims Trust Account as described
above, the Distribution Trustee will designate, with the consent of the
Creditors' Committee and KACC, a specified portion of such initial funding as a
Disputed Claims Reserve to be retained in such Trust Account to satisfy any
Disputed Administrative Claims, Disputed Priority Tax Claims, Disputed Priority
Claims and Disputed Secured Claims against the Estate of AJI or the Estate of
KJC in accordance with the Plan, if, as and when they are allowed or, to the
extent such Disputed Claims are not allowed, to satisfy Claims that are allowed
in accordance with the terms of the Plan. In connection with any subsequent
transfer of Cash to the Priority Claims Trust Account as described above, the
Distribution Trustee will designate amounts so transferred, to the extent they
are not identified as Pending Payments, as Disputed Claims Reserves to be
retained in such Trust Account to satisfy Disputed Administrative Claims,
Disputed Priority Tax Claims, Disputed Priority Claims and Disputed Secured
Claims against the Estate of AJI or the Estate of KJC in accordance with the
Plan, if, as and when they are allowed or, to the extent such Disputed Claims
are not allowed, to satisfy Claims that are allowed in accordance with the terms
of the Plan.

     Further, it is contemplated that on the Effective Date, in connection with
the initial funding of the Unsecured Claims Trust Account as contemplated above,
the Distribution Trustee will designate a specified portion of such initial
funding as a Disputed Claims Reserve to be retained in such Trust Account to
satisfy any Disputed Unsecured Claims against the Estate of AJI of the Estate of
KJC in accordance with the terms of the Plan, if, as and when they are allowed
or, to the extent such Disputed Claims are not allowed, to satisfy Claims that
are allowed in accordance with the terms of the Plan. In connection with any
subsequent transfers of Cash to the Unsecured Claims Trust Account in accordance
with the Distribution Trust Agreement, the Distribution Trustee will designate
all amounts so transferred, to the extent not identified as Pending Payments, as
Disputed Claims Reserves to be retained in such Trust Account to satisfy the
Disputed Unsecured Claims against the Estate of AJI or the Estate of KJC in
accordance with the terms of the Plan, if, as and when they are allowed or, to
the extent such Disputed Claims are not allowed, to satisfy Claims that are
allowed in accordance with the terms of the Plan.


                                       44
<PAGE>
     Any Cash that becomes available to the Distribution Trust, following the
Effective Date, including as a result of the receipt of any income or interest
generated by the investment of Cash held in the Unsecured Claims Trust Account,
will be deposited in the Unsecured Claims Trust Account.

          Undeliverable Cash Trust Account

     After the Effective Date, if any distribution to a holder of an Allowed
Unsecured Claim is returned to the Distribution Trustee as undeliverable, the
Distribution Trustee will deposit the undeliverable Cash in the Undeliverable
Cash Trust Account. The Distribution Trustee will hold such funds, in a
book-entry sub-account in the Undeliverable Cash Trust Account, for the benefit
of such holder. Until such holder notifies the Distribution Trustee in writing
of its then-current address, as contemplated by the Distribution Trust Agreement
no attempt will be made to deliver subsequent distributions to such holder and
any such distributions that such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive
instead will be transferred from the Unsecured Claims Trust Account to the
Undeliverable Cash Trust Account and credited to such book-entry sub-account.
All Cash held in such book-entry sub-account for the benefit of such holder will
be invested by the Distribution Trustee in a manner consistent with the
investment and deposit guidelines set forth in the Distribution Trust Agreement.
Any income or interest generated from such investment activities will be held in
such book-entry sub-account for the benefit of such holder until such holder
notifies the Distribution Trustee in writing of its then-current address, as
contemplated by the Distribution Trust Agreement. Subject to the provisions of
the Distribution Trust Agreement relating to the forfeiture of certain
undeliverable distributions, when such holder notifies the Distribution Trustee
in writing of its then-current address as contemplated by the Distribution Trust
Agreement, the Distribution Trustee will deliver to such holder all Cash
contained in such book-entry sub-account (net of provision for Taxes owing in
respect of amounts included in such book-entry sub-account in accordance with
the Distribution Trust Agreement). In the event such holder's right to assert a
claim for undeliverable distributions is forfeited as contemplated by the
Distribution Trust Agreement, all Cash contained in such book-entry sub-account
will be transferred from the Undeliverable Cash Trust Account to the Unsecured
Claims Trust Account for redistribution to holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims
entitled to distributions therefrom. See "Distributions Under the Plan --
Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions."

          Risks Associated with Funding of Trust Accounts

     A holder of a Disputed Claim that ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim will
have recourse only to the undistributed Cash held in the Disputed Claim Reserve
of the applicable Trust Account (net of Taxes on such Disputed Claim Reserves)
for the satisfaction of such Allowed Claims and not to any other Trust Account
or any assets previously distributed on account of any Allowed Claim.

     The funding of the Distribution Trust Expenses Account and the Priority
Claims Trust Account will be based on the Debtors' estimates of the amount of
liabilities to be funded from these Trust Accounts. There is no assurance that
these estimates will be accurate and, despite the Debtors' best efforts, it is
possible that the Cash in these Trust Accounts may be insufficient to satisfy
the Distribution Trust Expenses and/or the Allowed Administrative Claims,
Allowed Priority Tax Claims, Allowed Priority Claims and Allowed Secured Claims
against the Debtors' Estates. Although the Plan provides certain mechanisms to
further fund any deficiencies in these Trust Accounts, it is possible that
insufficient Cash may be available to fund any deficiency. Based on information
currently available, the Debtors do not believe that these risks are material.

          General Powers

     The Distribution Trustee will have only the rights, powers and privileges

          terminate the existence of the Debtors under the laws of Jamaica; and

     -    terminate the Distribution Trust in accordance with the terms of the
          Plan and Distribution Trust Agreement.

     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Distribution Trust
Agreement, the Distribution Trustee will not be required to obtain the order or
approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction
in, or account to the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent
jurisdiction for, the exercise of any right, power or privilege conferred under
the Distribution Trust Agreement.

          Right to Object to Claims

     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Distribution Trust
Agreement, after the Effective Date only the Distribution Trustee, on behalf of
the Distribution Trust, with the prior consent of the Steering Committee,


                                       46
<PAGE>
acting through a majority thereof, will have the authority to File, settle,
compromise, withdraw or litigate to judgment objections to Claims, including
pursuant to any alternative dispute resolution or similar procedures approved by
the Bankruptcy Court. After the Effective Date, the Distribution Trustee, with
the prior consent of the Steering Committee, acting through a majority thereof,
may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without approval of the Bankruptcy
Court in accordance with the Distribution Trust Agreement. The grant of
authority to the Distribution Trustee described above will not limit the right
of the US Trustee to object to Professional Fee Claims as contemplated by
Section 2.1(c) of the Plan.

          Right to Pursue Causes of Action

     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument,
release or other agreement or document entered into or delivered in connection
with the Plan, in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the
Distribution Trustee will retain and may enforce any claims, demands, rights and
causes of action that either Debtor or Estate may hold against any entity,
including the Recovery Actions, to the extent not expressly released under the
Plan. In particular, the Distribution Trustee will retain the right to pursue
any adversary proceedings available to the Debtors in connection with the Alpart
Purchase Agreement or the Intercompany Claims Settlement.

     LIMITATION ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF DISTRIBUTION TRUSTEE

     In exercising its rights under the Distribution Trust Agreement, the
Distribution Trustee will be obligated to use the same degree of care and skill
as an individual of ordinary prudence, discretion and judgment would exercise or
use in such individual's own affairs. The Distribution Trustee, however, will
incur no liability for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection
with the Plan or the Distribution Trust Agreement except liability that would
otherwise result from (a) a failure to perform or pay any obligation or
liability thereunder or (b) an act or omission that is determined in a Final
Order to have constituted bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct, gross negligence
or a breach of its fiduciary duties.

     The Distribution Trustee and the members of the Steering Committee will be
indemnified by the Distribution Trust from the Distribution Trust Expenses Trust
Account for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and related expenses, that the
Distribution Trustee may incur or to which the Distribution Trustee may become
subject in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought
by or threatened against the Distribution Trustee on account of the acts or
omissions of the Distribution Trustee in its capacity as such, provided that the
Distribution Trust will not be liable to indemnify the Distribution Trustee for
any act or omission constituting bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct, gross
negligence or a breach of its fiduciary duties. The Distribution Trustee will be
entitled to obtain advances from the Distribution Trust Expenses Account to
cover expenses of defending itself in any action brought against it as a result
of actions or omissions, actual or alleged, of the Distribution Trustee in its
capacity as such, so long as the Distribution Trustee provides an undertaking to
repay the amounts so advanced to the Distribution Expenses Trust Account upon
the entry of a Final Order finding that the Distribution Trustee was not
entitled to indemnity.

     REMOVAL AND RESIGNATION OF THE DISTRIBUTION TRUSTEE; FILLING OF VACANCY

     The Distribution Trustee may be removed at any time by Final Order of the
Bankruptcy Court. Such removal will be effective as specified in such Final
Order.

     The Distribution Trustee may resign at any time by giving the Bankruptcy
Court at least 30 days' written notice of its intention to do so. Such
resignation will be effective on the latest of: (a) the date specified in the
notice; (b) the date that is 30 days after the notice is delivered; (c) the date
the Distribution Trustee delivers a full and complete accounting of assets
received, disbursed and held to the Bankruptcy Court; and (d) the date the
successor Distribution Trustee accepts its appointment as such.

     The Indenture Trustees and the PBGC together will identify a successor
Distribution Trustee to fill any vacancy and request the Bankruptcy Court's
approval of the identity and terms of engagement of such successor


                                       47
<PAGE>
Distribution Trustee. The Distribution Trust Agreement will provide for a
dispute resolution mechanism in the event that the Indenture Trustees and the
PBGC cannot agree on a successor Distribution Trustee.

     COMPENSATION OF THE DISTRIBUTION TRUSTEE

     The Distribution Trustee will receive fair and reasonable compensation for
its services, with such compensation to be paid from the Distribution Trust
Expenses Account. In addition, reasonable costs, expenses and obligations
incurred by the Distribution Trustee in administering the Distribution Trust, in
carrying out its other responsibilities under the Distribution Trust Agreement,
or in any manner connected, incidental or related thereto will be paid, at the
direction of the Distribution Trustee, from the Distribution Trust Expenses
Account.

     BOOKS AND RECORDS; REPORTS AND TAX FILINGS

          Books and Records

     The Distribution Trustee will maintain books and records containing a
description of all property from time to time constituting the Distribution
Trust Assets (which assets will be valued consistently for all federal income
Tax purposes) and an accounting of all receipts and disbursements. Such books
and records will be open to inspection by any Beneficiary or the Bankruptcy
Court at any reasonable time during normal business hours. The fiscal year of
the Distribution Trust will be the calendar year.

          Reports to be Filed with the Bankruptcy Court

     Within 45 days after the end of each of the first three calendar quarters
of the calendar year, the Distribution Trustee will File an unaudited report
with the Bankruptcy Court reflecting: (a) all Distribution Trust Assets received
by the Distribution Trust during such calendar quarter; (b) all Distribution
Trust Assets held by the Distribution Trust at the end of such quarter; and (c)
all Distribution Trust Assets disbursed during such calendar quarter, in each
case itemized for the individual Trust Accounts (a "Quarterly
Receipts/Disbursements Report").

     Within 90 days after the end of each calendar year, the Distribution
Trustee will File an unaudited report with the Bankruptcy Court reflecting: (a)
all Distribution Trust Assets received by the Distribution Trust during such
calendar year; (b) all Distribution Trust Assets held by the Distribution Trust
at the end of such calendar year; and (c) all Distribution Trust Assets
disbursed during such calendar year, in each case itemized for the individual
Trust Accounts (an "Annual Receipts/Disbursements Report").

     In the event of developments affecting the Distribution Trust in any
material respect (as determined by the Distribution Trustee in its reasonable
discretion), the Distribution Trustee will File promptly with the Bankruptcy
Court a report describing such development in reasonable detail (a "Current
Report").

     The Distribution Trustee will furnish or otherwise make available to any
then-current Beneficiary, upon written request, a copy of: (a) the most recent
Annual Receipts/Disbursements Report; (b) any Quarterly Receipts/Disbursements
Report for any period subsequent to the period covered by the most recent Annual
Receipts/Disbursements Report (or, if no Annual Receipts/Disbursements Report
has yet been Filed, for any period subsequent to the Effective Date); or (c) any
Current Report Filed subsequent to the period covered by the most recent Annual
Receipts/Disbursements Report (or, if no Annual Receipts/Disbursements Report
has yet been Filed, subsequent to the Effective Date).

          Tax Returns and Payments

     The Distribution Trustee will be responsible for filing all foreign, U.S.
federal, state and local Tax returns for the Distribution Trust and Debtors and
for the timely preparation and distribution to the Beneficiaries of any
necessary foreign, U.S. federal, state or local information returns.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Distribution Trust Agreement, the
Distribution Trustee will not be obligated to deliver any such information
returns to holders of Disputed Claims in their capacity as such.


                                       48
<PAGE>
     The Distribution Trustee will timely file Tax returns for the Trust
Accounts as a grantor trust and/or a liquidating trust under Treasury
Regulations section 1.671-1(a) and/or Treasury Regulations section 301.7701-4(d)
and related regulations with respect to Pending Payments. Pursuant to such
provisions, for federal income Tax purposes the Distribution Trustee will
allocate to Beneficiaries entitled to receive Pending Payments their pro rata
shares of any income or loss of the Trust Accounts, and such Beneficiaries will
be subject to Tax on the Trust Accounts' taxable income on a current basis.

     With respect to the Trust Accounts (excluding amounts constituting Pending
Payments), the Distribution Trustee will timely (a) file such income Tax and
other returns and statements as are required to comply with (i) the applicable
provisions of the IRC and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder,
including the requirements set forth in Proposed Treasury Regulations section
1.468B-9(c)(1) and (ii) any applicable state and local law and the regulations
promulgated thereunder and (b) pay from the applicable Trust Account any Taxes
reported as owing on such returns and statements.

     TERM OF THE DISTRIBUTION TRUST

     The Distribution Trust will terminate upon:

     -    the payment of all costs, expenses and obligations incurred in
          connection with administering the Distribution Trust;

     -    the distribution of all remaining Distribution Trust Assets and/or
          proceeds therefrom in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, the
          Confirmation Order and the Distribution Trust Agreement;

     -    the closure of the Chapter 11 Cases; and

     -    the completion of any necessary or appropriate reports, Tax returns or
          other documentation.

     If the Distribution Trust has not been previously terminated as described
above, on the second anniversary of the Effective Date, unless otherwise
extended by the Bankruptcy Court due to the Distribution Trust's necessity to
complete its claims resolution and liquidating purpose, and provided such
extension does not adversely affect the status of the Distribution Trust for
federal income Tax or federal securities law purposes, the Distribution Trustee
will distribute all of the Distribution Trust Assets to the Beneficiaries in
accordance with the Plan and the Distribution Trust Agreement.

                          DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER THE PLAN

METHOD OF DISTRIBUTIONS TO HOLDERS OF ALLOWED CLAIMS

     The Distribution Trustee will make all distributions of Cash required under
the Plan. The Distribution Trustee will serve without bond and may employ or
contract with other entities to assist in, or make the distributions required
by, the Plan and the Distribution Trust Agreement. Unless the context otherwise
requires, all references to the Distribution Trustee contained in this section
will be deemed to be references to the Distribution Trustee in its capacity as
Disbursing Agent and, in the event the Distribution Trustee employs or contracts
with one or more other entities to assist in, or make the distributions required
by, the Plan and the Distribution Trust Agreement as contemplated by the
immediately preceding sentence, to any such third-party Disbursing Agent in its
capacity as such. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Distribution Trustee will
act as the Disbursing Agent for the Distribution Expenses Trust Account.

DELIVERY OF DISTRIBUTIONS

     GENERALLY

     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions in respect of
Allowed Claims will be made to holders of such Claims as of the Distribution
Record Date at the addresses set forth in the applicable Claims Report. Prior to
making any distribution to a Beneficiary, the Distribution Trustee may request
written notification of the


                                       49
<PAGE>
Beneficiary's federal taxpayer identification number or social security number
if the Distribution Trustee determines, in its reasonable discretion, that such
information (a) is necessary to fulfill its Tax reporting and withholding
obligations and (b) has not been provided in the applicable Claims Report or
otherwise. The Distribution Trustee, in its reasonable discretion, may suspend
distributions to any Beneficiary that has not provided its federal taxpayer
identification number or social security number, as the case may be, after a
request is made as described in this paragraph.

     SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR DISTRIBUTIONS TO HOLDERS OF PUBLIC NOTE CLAIMS

     All distributions to holders of Allowed Public Note Claims will be made by
the Distributing Trustee to the applicable Indenture Trustee for subsequent
distribution to holders of the Allowed Public Note Claims as of the Distribution
Record Date.

UNDELIVERABLE OR UNCLAIMED DISTRIBUTIONS

     If any distribution to a holder of an Allowed Unsecured Claim is returned
to the Distribution Trustee as undeliverable, then unless and until the
Distribution Trustee is notified in writing of such holder's then-current
address: (a) subject to the provisions described in the immediately following
paragraph, such undeliverable distributions will remain in the possession of the
Distribution Trustee as provided in the Plan and no further attempt will be made
to deliver such distribution; and (b) no attempt will be made to deliver
subsequent distributions to such holder and any such distributions that such
holder would otherwise be entitled to receive instead will be transferred from
the Unsecured Claims Trust Account to the Undeliverable Cash Trust Account where
it will be held in a book-entry sub-account for the benefit of such holder. See
"General Information Concerning the Plan -- Distribution Trust -- Distribution
Trust Accounts -- Undeliverable Cash Trust Accounts."

     Any holder of an Allowed Unsecured Claim that does not assert a claim for
an undeliverable distribution by delivering to the Distribution Trustee a
written notice setting forth such holder's then-current address within 180 days
after the later of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the last date on which a
distribution was deliverable to the holder will have its claim for undeliverable
distributions discharged and will be forever barred from asserting such claim or
any claim for subsequent distributions against the Debtors, the Distribution
Trustee or the property of any of them, including the Trust Accounts, whereupon
all Cash contained in the book-entry sub-account in the Undeliverable Cash Trust
Account created for the benefit of such holder will be transferred to the
Unsecured Claims Trust Account for redistribution to holders of Allowed
Unsecured Claims entitled to distributions therefrom. For purposes of any such
redistribution, each Allowed Claim in respect of which a claim for undeliverable
distributions has been discharged will be deemed disallowed in its entirety.

     Nothing contained in the Plan will require the Debtors or the Distribution
Trustee to attempt to locate any holder of an Allowed Claim.

MEANS OF CASH PAYMENTS

     Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Distribution Trust
Agreement, Cash payments made pursuant to the Plan will be in United States
currency by checks drawn on the applicable Trust Accounts or, at the option of
the Distribution Trustee, by wire transfer from a domestic bank; provided,
however, that Cash payments to foreign holders of Allowed Claims may be made, at
the option of the Distribution Trustee, in such funds and by such means as are
necessary or customary in a particular foreign jurisdiction. If a check included
in a distribution to a holder of an Allowed Unsecured Claim is not cashed within
180 days of the issuance thereof, the Distribution Trustee will void such check
and such distribution will be treated as undeliverable as described in
"Undeliverable or Unclaimed Distributions" above.


                                       50
<PAGE>
TIMING AND CALCULATION OF AMOUNTS TO BE DISTRIBUTED

     ALLOWED CLAIMS OTHER THAN UNSECURED CLAIMS

     On or as promptly as practicable after the Effective Date, the Distribution
Trustee will make distributions to holders of Secured Claims, Administrative
Claims, Priority Claims and Priority Tax Claims allowed as of the Effective
Date. On or as promptly as practicable after each Quarterly Distribution Date,
the Distribution Trustee will make distributions to holders of Disputed Secured
Claims, Disputed Administrative Claims, Disputed Priority Claims and Disputed
Priority Tax Claims that have become Allowed Claims during the immediately
preceding calendar quarter. The Quarterly Distribution Date will be on the last
Business Day of the month following the end of each calendar quarter after the
Effective Date, except that if the Effective Date is within 45 days of the end
of a calendar quarter, the first Quarterly Distribution Date will be the last
Business Day of the month following the end of the first calendar quarter after
the calendar quarter in which the Effective Date falls. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Distribution Trustee determines, in its reasonable discretion,
that the amount of any quarterly distribution is too small to justify the
administrative costs associated with such distribution, the Distribution Trustee
may postpone such quarterly distribution until the next Quarterly Distribution
Date. The Distribution Trustee will have no obligation to notify Beneficiaries
if it determines, in its reasonable discretion, that any quarterly distribution
will be postponed.

     ALLOWED UNSECURED CLAIMS IN SUBCLASS 3A; CERTAIN PAYMENTS FROM THE PUBLIC
     NOTE DISTRIBUTABLE CONSIDERATION

          Plan Accepted by Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B

     If both Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B vote to accept the Plan in accordance
with section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, on or as promptly as practicable
after the Effective Date, the Distribution Trustee will: (a) make distributions
to holders of Allowed Claims in Subclass 3A in accordance with Section
2.4(c)(i)(A) of the Plan; provided that the amount of such distributions will be
calculated as if each Disputed Unsecured Claim in Subclass 3D were an Allowed
Unsecured Claim in its Face Amount as of the Effective Date; and (b) make the
payments to be deducted from the Public Note Distributable Consideration as
contemplated by clauses (I) and (II) of the first sentence of Section
2.4(c)(i)(A) of the Plan.

     If both Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B vote to accept the Plan in accordance
with section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, on or as promptly as practicable
after each Quarterly Distribution Date, the Distribution Trustee will distribute
to each holder of an Allowed Claim in Subclass 3A a distribution from the
Unsecured Claims Trust Account (net of provision for Taxes) in an amount equal
to: (a) the amount of Cash that such holder would have been entitled to receive
pursuant to the Plan if such Claim and each other Unsecured Claim allowed prior
to such Quarterly Distribution Date had been an Allowed Unsecured Claim as of
the Effective Date (with such amount to be calculated in the manner described in
the immediately preceding paragraph) minus (b) the aggregate amount of Cash
previously distributed on account of such Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if the Distribution Trustee determines, in its reasonable discretion, that the
amount of any quarterly distribution is too small to justify the administrative
costs associated with such distribution, the Distribution Trustee may postpone
such quarterly distribution until the next Quarterly Distribution Date. The
Distribution Trustee will have no obligation to notify Beneficiaries if it
determines, in its reasonable discretion, that any quarterly distribution will
be postponed. In the event of the disallowance of a Disputed Unsecured Claim in
Subclass 3D, any amounts held in respect thereof will be released from the
Disputed Claims Reserve for distribution as described in this paragraph and "--
Allowed Unsecured Claims in Subclass 3C and Subclass 3D."

          Plan Rejected by Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B

     If either Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B fails to accept the Plan in accordance
with section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, the amount of the Public Note
Distributable Consideration to which the Bankruptcy Court determines the holders
of Allowed Claims in Subclass 3A are entitled in respect of such Claims will be
distributed as provided in an order of the Bankruptcy Court and the Distribution
Trustee will, contemporaneously or as promptly as practicable thereafter, make
the payments (or reservations for payment) by which such distributions are to be
reduced in accordance with Section 2.4(a)(i)(B) of the Plan.


                                       51
<PAGE>
     ALLOWED UNSECURED CLAIMS IN SUBCLASS 3B

          Plan Accepted by Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B

     If both Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B vote to accept the Plan in accordance
with section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, on or as promptly as practicable
after the Effective Date, the Distribution Trustee will make the payment to the
Senior Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee as contemplated by clause (III) of
the first sentence of Section 2.4(c)(i)(A) of the Plan and Section 2.4(c)(ii)(A)
of the Plan for subsequent distribution by the Senior Subordinated Note
Indenture Trustee to the holders of Allowed Claims in Subclass 3B.

          Plan Rejected by Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B

     If either Subclass 3A or Subclass 3B fails to accept the Plan in accordance
with section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, the amount of the Public Note
Distributable Consideration, if any, to which the Bankruptcy Court determines
the holders of Allowed Claims in Subclass 3B are entitled in respect of such
Claims will be distributed as provided in an order of the Bankruptcy Court. As
contemplated by Section 2.4(c)(ii)(B) of the Plan, any such distributions
ultimately made to a holder of an Allowed Claim in Subclass 3B may be reduced by
such holder's proportional share of any and all fees and expenses payable to the
Senior Subordinated Note Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Senior Subordinated
Note Indenture, which will, subject to such Trustee's right to seek payment by
the Debtors of such fees and expenses pursuant to section 503(b)(5) of the
Bankruptcy Code, be payable solely from such distributions.

     ALLOWED UNSECURED CLAIMS IN SUBCLASS 3C AND SUBCLASS 3D

     On or as promptly as practicable after the Effective Date, the Distribution
Trustee will make distributions to holders of Unsecured Claims in Subclass 3C
and Subclass 3D allowed as of the Effective Date; provided that the amount of
such distributions will be calculated as if each Disputed Unsecured Claim in
Subclass 3D were an Allowed Unsecured Claim in its Face Amount as of the
Effective Date; provided further, however, that no distribution will be made on
account of any Disputed Unsecured Claim in Subclass 3D unless and until it
becomes an Allowed Unsecured Claim and amounts withheld for Disputed Unsecured
Claims in Subclass 3D will remain in the Unsecured Claims Trust Account as part
of the Disputed Claims Reserve.

     On or as promptly as practicable after each Quarterly Distribution Date,
the Distribution Trustee will distribute to each holder of an Unsecured Claim in
Subclass 3C or Subclass 3D allowed prior to such Quarterly Distribution Date a
distribution from the Unsecured Claims Trust Account (net of provision for
Taxes) in an amount equal to: (a) the amount of Cash that such holder would have
been entitled to receive pursuant to the Plan if such Claim and each other
Unsecured Claim allowed prior to such Quarterly Distribution Date had been an
Allowed Unsecured Claim as of the Effective Date (with such amount to be
calculated in the manner described in the immediately preceding paragraph) minus
(b) the aggregate amount of Cash previously distributed on account of such
Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Distribution Trustee determines, in
its reasonable discretion, that the amount of any quarterly distribution is too
small to justify the administrative costs associated with such distribution, the
Distribution Trustee may postpone such quarterly distribution until the next
Quarterly Distribution Date. The Distribution Trustee will have no obligation to
notify Beneficiaries if it determines, in its reasonable discretion, that any
quarterly distribution will be postponed. In the event of the disallowance of a
Disputed Unsecured Claim in Subclass 3D, any amounts held in respect thereof
will be released from the Disputed Claims Reserve for distribution as described
in this paragraph and "-- Allowed Unsecured Claims in Subclass 3C and Subclass
3D -- Plan Accepted by Subclass 3A and Subclass 3B."

     7-3/4% SWD REVENUE BONDS

          Plan Accepted by Subclass 3A

     If (a) Subclass 3A votes to accept the Plan in accordance with section
1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) unless the holders of Senior Note Claims
otherwise agree pursuant to a settlement, all holders of Allowed Senior Note
Claims are entitled under the Plan to identical treatment in respect of
contractual subordination claims under


                                       52
<PAGE>
the Senior Subordinated Note Indenture, then, on or as promptly as practicable
on the Effective Date, the Distribution Trustee will make the payment, if any,
to the 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond Indenture Trustee for the benefit of holders of
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds pursuant to Section 2.5(a) of the Plan and pay any
amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.6(b) of the Plan.

          Plan Rejected by Subclass 3A

     If Subclass 3A fails to accept the Plan in accordance with section 1126(c)
of the Bankruptcy Code, the amount of the Public Note Distributable
Consideration, if any, to which the Bankruptcy Court determines the holders of
7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds are entitled will be distributed as provided in an
order of the Bankruptcy Court.

     NO DE MINIMIS DISTRIBUTIONS

     The Distribution Trustee will not be required to distribute Cash to the
holder of an Allowed Unsecured Claim if the total aggregate amount of Cash to be
distributed on account of such Claim is less than $25. Any holder of an Allowed
Unsecured Claim on account of which the total aggregate amount of Cash to be
distributed is less than $25 will have its Claim for such distribution deemed
satisfied, waived and released and will be forever barred from asserting any
such Claim against the Debtors, the Distribution Trustee or the property of any
of them, including the Trust Accounts. Any Cash not distributed with respect to
Allowed Unsecured Claims as a result of the provisions described in this
paragraph will be retained in the Unsecured Claims Trust Account for
redistribution to other holders of Allowed Unsecured Claims entitled to
distributions from the Unsecured Claims Trust Account.

     COMPLIANCE WITH TAX REQUIREMENTS

     To the extent applicable, the Distribution Trustee will comply with all Tax
withholding and reporting requirements imposed on it by any governmental unit,
and all distributions pursuant to the Plan will be subject to such withholding
and reporting requirements. The Distribution Trustee will be authorized to take
any actions that it determines, in its reasonable discretion, to be necessary,
appropriate or desirable to comply with such withholding and reporting
requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or the
Distribution Trust Agreement, each entity receiving a distribution of Cash
pursuant to the Plan will have sole and exclusive responsibility for the
satisfaction and payment of any Tax obligations imposed on it by any
governmental unit on account of such distribution, including income, withholding
and other Tax obligations.

     SETOFFS

     Except with respect to claims of a Debtor released pursuant to the Plan or
any contract, instrument, release or other agreement or document entered into or
delivered in connection with the Plan, the Distribution Trustee may, pursuant to
section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable nonbankruptcy law, set off
against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan
on account of such Claim (before any distribution is made on account of such
Claim) the claims, rights and causes of action of any nature that the applicable
Debtor may hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim; provided, however,
that neither the failure to effect a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim will
constitute a waiver or release by the applicable Debtor of any claims, rights
and causes of action that the Debtor or Debtors may possess against such a Claim
holder, which are preserved under the Plan.

COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR SERVICES RELATED TO DISTRIBUTIONS

     If the Distribution Trustee employs or contracts with a third-party
Disbursing Agent, such Disbursing Agent will receive, without the need for
further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for such services and
reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
such services. These payments will be made on terms agreed to with the
Distribution Trustee and will be paid to such Disbursing Agent from funds in the
Distribution Trust Expenses Account. To assist in making distributions under the
Plan, notwithstanding any other provision of the Distribution Trust Agreement,
the applicable Trust Accounts (other than the Distribution Trust Expenses
Account) may be held in the name of one or more such Disbursing Agents. Any such
Disbursing Agent will invest the Cash in the Trust Accounts as directed by the
Distribution Trustee, who will


                                       53
<PAGE>
direct such Disbursing Agent to invest such Cash only in Permitted Investments;
provided, however, that should the Distribution Trustee determine, in its
reasonable discretion, that the administrative costs associated with such
investment will exceed the return on such investment, it may direct such
Disbursing Agent to not invest such Cash.

PAYMENTS LIMITED TO TRUST ACCOUNTS

     All payments or other distributions to be made by the Distribution Trustee
in accordance with the Plan or the Distribution Trust Agreement will be made
only from the Trust Accounts.

INSUFFICIENT FUNDS

     Provided that the Distribution Trustee has not acted in bad faith, engaged
in fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence, or breached its fiduciary
duties, if the Distribution Trust Assets at any point prove insufficient to pay
all Beneficiaries of the Priority Claims Trust Account in full or all
Beneficiaries of the Unsecured Claims Trust Account in accordance with the terms
of the Plan, the Distribution Trustee will have no obligation to seek
disgorgement from any Beneficiary, but may seek the guidance of the Bankruptcy
Court or another court of competent jurisdiction.

DISPUTED CLAIMS

     PROSECUTION OF OBJECTIONS TO CLAIMS

     All objections to Claims must be Filed and served on the holders of such
Claims by the Claims Objection Bar Date, and, if Filed prior to the Effective
Date, such objections will be served on the parties on the then-applicable
service list in the Chapter 11 Cases. If an objection has not been Filed to a
proof of Claim, a scheduled Claim or a request for payment of Administrative
Claim by the applicable Claims Objection Bar Date, the Claim to which the proof
of Claim, scheduled Claim or request for payment of Administrative Claim relates
will be treated as an Allowed Claim if such Claim has not been allowed earlier.

     TREATMENT OF DISPUTED CLAIMS

     Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Plan, no payments or
distributions will be made on account of a Disputed Claim until such Claim
becomes an Allowed Claim. In lieu of distributions under the Plan to holders of
Disputed Claims, a Disputed Claims Reserve will be established on the Effective
Date in each Trust Account, which, in the case of Unsecured Claims in Subclass
3D, will include an amount equal to the Pro Rata Share of the distribution to
which all of the Disputed Claims in Subclass 3D would be entitled to if each
such Disputed Claim was allowed in its Face Amount on the Effective Date.

     Each holder of a Disputed Claim that ultimately becomes an Allowed Claim
will have recourse only to the undistributed Cash held in the applicable Trust
Account for the satisfaction of such Allowed Claim and not to any other Trust
Account or any assets previously distributed on account of any Allowed Claim.

     The Distribution Trustee will include in the Tax returns of the Trust
Accounts all items of income, deduction and credit of the Trust Accounts, except
to the extent such items are included in the income of the Beneficiaries of the
Trust Accounts as grantors of grantor trusts. The Distribution Trustee will pay,
or cause to be paid, out of the funds held in applicable Trust Accounts, any Tax
imposed on the Trust Accounts by any governmental unit with respect to income
generated by the funds held in the Trust Accounts. The Distribution Trustee also
will file or cause to be filed any Tax or information return related to the
applicable Trust Account that is required by any governmental unit.

                       VOTING AND CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN

GENERAL

     To confirm the Plan, the Bankruptcy Code requires that the Bankruptcy Court
make a series of findings concerning the Plan and the Debtors, including that:

     -    the Plan has classified Claims and Interests in a permissible manner;

     -    the Plan complies with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy
          Code;

     -    the Debtors comply with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy
          Code;

     -    the Debtors, as proponents of the Plan within the meaning of section
          1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, have proposed the Plan in good faith and
          not by any means forbidden by law;

     -    the disclosure required by section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code has
          been made;

     -    the Plan has been accepted by the requisite votes of creditors and
          equity interest holders, except to the extent that "cramdown" is
          available under section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code;

     -    the Plan is in the "best interests" of all holders of Claims or
          Interests in an impaired Class (that is, that such creditors will
          receive at least as much pursuant to the Plan as they would receive or
          retain in a chapter 7 liquidation);

     -    the Plan is feasible (that is, there is a reasonable prospect that the
          Debtors will be able to perform their obligations under the Plan); and

     -    all fees and expenses payable under 28 U.S.C. Section 1930, as
          determined by the Bankruptcy Court at the Confirmation Hearing, have
          been paid, or the Plan provides for the payment of such fees on the
          Effective Date.

VOTING PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS

     Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, only classes of claims against, or equity
interests in, a debtor that are "impaired" under the terms of that debtor's plan
are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan. A class is "impaired" if the
legal, equitable or contractual rights attaching to the claims or equity
interests of that class are modified, other than by curing defaults and
reinstating maturity. Classes of claims that are not impaired are not entitled
to vote on a plan and are conclusively presumed to have accepted that plan.
Classes of claims or equity interests that receive no distributions under a plan
are not entitled to vote on that plan and are deemed to have rejected that plan
unless such class otherwise indicates acceptance. Only Class 3 is entitled to
vote on the Plan and each Subclass of Class 3 constitutes a separate class for
that purpose. For a summary of the classification of Claims and Interests
pursuant to the Plan, together with an indication of whether each Class of
Claims or Interests is impaired or unimpaired under the terms of the Plan, see
"Overview of the Plan -- Summary of Classes and Treatment of Claims and
Interests."

     ALTHOUGH THE 7-3/4% SWD REVENUE BOND INDENTURE TRUSTEE MAY RECEIVE A
PAYMENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE HOLDERS OF THE 7-3/4% SWD REVENUE BONDS IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLAN, HOLDERS OF 7-3/4% SWD REVENUE BONDS DO NOT HAVE CLAIMS
AGAINST THE DEBTORS AND, ACCORDINGLY, ARE NOT ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN.
BECAUSE SUCH PROPOSED SETTLEMENT WILL AFFECT OTHER KAISER DEBTORS, A MOTION
SEEKING APPROVAL OF THE SETTLEMENT WILL BE FILED, AND SUCH HOLDERS AND OTHER
CREDITORS OR CLAIMANTS AFFECTED BY SUCH SETTLEMENT MAY FILE AN OBJECTION TO IT
WITH THE BANKRUPTCY COURT ON OR PRIOR TO APRIL 5, 2005. SEE "OPERATIONS DURING
THE CHAPTER 11 CASES -- 7-3/4% SWD REVENUE BOND DISPUTE" FOR MORE INFORMATION
REGARDING THE 7-3/4% SWD REVENUE BONDS AND THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT.

     Pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3018,
the Bankruptcy Court may estimate and temporarily allow a Claim for voting or
other purposes. By order of the Bankruptcy Court, certain vote


                                       55

tabulation rules have been approved that temporarily allow or disallow certain
Claims for voting purposes only. These tabulation rules are described in the
solicitation materials provided with your Ballot.

     VOTING ON THE PLAN BY EACH HOLDER OF AN IMPAIRED CLAIM ENTITLED TO VOTE ON
THE PLAN IS IMPORTANT. IF YOU HOLD MULTIPLE UNSECURED CLAIMS, YOU MAY RECEIVE
MORE THAN ONE BALLOT. YOU SHOULD COMPLETE, SIGN AND RETURN EACH BALLOT YOU

PROVIDED TO YOU. IT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO THE DEBTORS THAT YOU VOTE
PROMPTLY TO ACCEPT THE PLAN.

     A HOLDER OF A 9-7/8% SENIOR NOTE, A 10-7/8% SENIOR NOTE OR A SENIOR
SUBORDINATED NOTE HELD IN THE NAME OF A BROKER, DEALER, COMMERCIAL BANK, TRUST
COMPANY OR OTHER NOMINEE MUST COMPLETE AND DELIVER TO SUCH NOMINEE THE BALLOT OR

CONFIRMATION HEARING

     The Bankruptcy Code requires the Bankruptcy Court, after notice, to hold a
hearing on whether the Debtors have fulfilled the requirements of section 1129
of the Bankruptcy Code relating to the confirmation of the Plan. The
Confirmation Hearing has been scheduled for April 13, 2005 at 9:00 a.m. before
the Honorable Judith K. Fitzgerald, Chief United States Bankruptcy Judge for the
Western District of Pennsylvania and visiting United States Bankruptcy Judge for
the District of Delaware, in the Judge's usual courtroom at the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware, 824 Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware
19801. The Confirmation Hearing may be continued or adjourned from time to time
by the Bankruptcy Court without further notice, except for an announcement of
the continued or adjourned date made at the Confirmation Hearing. Any objection
to confirmation of the Plan must be made in writing and must specify in detail
the name and address of the objector, all grounds for the objection and the
amount of the Claim or Interest held by the objector. Any such objections must
be Filed and served upon the persons designated in the notice of the
Confirmation Hearing, in the manner and by the deadline described in such
notice.

CONFIRMATION

     At the Confirmation Hearing, the Bankruptcy Court will confirm the Plan
only if all of the applicable requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy
Code are satisfied. Among the requirements for confirmation of a plan with
respect to a debtor are that the plan:


                                       56
<PAGE>
     -    is accepted by the requisite holders of claims and equity interests in
          each impaired class of such debtor or, if not so accepted, has been
          accepted by the requisite holders of at least one impaired class and
          is "fair and equitable" and "does not discriminate unfairly" as to
          each nonaccepting class;

     -    is either accepted by, or is in the "best interests" of, each holder
          of a claim or equity interest in each impaired class of such debtor;

     -    is feasible; and

     -    complies with the other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

     Subject to the conditions set forth in the Plan, a determination by the
Bankruptcy Court that the Plan, as it applies to a particular Estate, is not
confirmable pursuant to section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code will not limit or
affect: (a) the confirmability of the Plan as it applies to the other Estate; or
(b) the Debtors' ability to modify the Plan, as it applies to such Estate, to
satisfy the provisions of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

     ACCEPTANCE OR CRAMDOWN

     A plan is accepted by an impaired class of claims if holders of at least
two-thirds in dollar amount and a majority in number of claims of that class
vote to accept the plan. Only those holders of claims who actually vote (and are
entitled to vote) to accept or to reject a plan count in this tabulation.
Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code contains so-called "cramdown" provisions
pursuant to which a plan may be confirmed even if it is not accepted by all
impaired classes, as long as at least one impaired class of claims has accepted
it and the Bankruptcy Court finds that it is "fair and equitable" and "does not
discriminate unfairly" as to each nonaccepting class. The "fair and equitable"
standard, also known as the "absolute priority rule," requires, among other
things, that unless a dissenting class of unsecured claims receives full
compensation for the aggregate allowed amount of such claims, no holder of an
allowed claim in any class junior to such class may receive or retain any
property on account of such claim. The "fair and equitable" standard has also
been interpreted to prohibit any class of claims senior to a dissenting class
from receiving under a plan more than 100% of the aggregate allowed amount of
such claims. The requirement that a plan not "discriminate unfairly" means,
among other things, that a dissenting class of claims must be treated
substantially equally with respect to other classes of claims of equal rank. The
Debtors do not believe that the Plan unfairly discriminates against any Class
that may not accept or otherwise consent to the Plan. The Debtors believe that
the Plan is "fair and equitable" and "does not discriminate unfairly" as to each
impaired Class entitled to vote upon the Plan. The Debtors may seek confirmation
of the Plan under the "cramdown" provisions with respect to any impaired Class
that does not accept the Plan (and have reserved the right to modify the Plan to
the extent that confirmation of the Plan under such provisions requires
modification).

     BEST INTERESTS TEST

          Generally

     Notwithstanding acceptance of a plan by each impaired class (or
satisfaction of the "cramdown" provisions of the Bankruptcy Code in lieu
thereof), for a plan to be confirmed, the Bankruptcy Court must determine that
the plan is in the best interest of each holder of a claim who is in an impaired
class and has not voted to accept the plan. Accordingly, if an impaired class
does not unanimously accept a plan, the best interests test requires the
Bankruptcy Court to find that the plan provides to each member of such impaired
class a recovery on account of the class member's claim that has a value, as of
the date such plan is consummated, at least equal to the value of the
distribution that such class member would receive if the debtors proposing such
plan were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on such date. The
Debtors have considered the effect that the conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases
to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code would have and have concluded
that Plan provides for the liquidation of the Debtors in a manner significantly
more efficient than would occur in the event the Chapter 11 Cases were converted
to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors' Estates have
already been substantially liquidated and converted to Cash proceeds, subject
only to receipt of any Recovery Action Proceeds. The Debtors are not aware of
the existence of any claim against a third party that would constitute a
Recovery Action. Further, the Debtors have been informed that the Creditors'
Committee conducted an analysis of potential preference actions and determined
that there were no viable preference actions concerning payments made by the
Debtors. The Debtors believe that conversion to chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code
would result in: (a) additional


                                       57
<PAGE>
costs relating to the appointment of a chapter 7 trustee; (b) likely delays in
distributions to creditors entitled to receive a distribution under the Plan;
and (c) diminished recoveries for Class 3. The Debtors therefore believe that
the Plan satisfies the best interests test for each class of impaired Claims.

          Liquidation Analysis

     Because the liquidation value of each Debtor is limited to the amount of
Cash held or to be held in each Debtor's Trust Accounts, the Debtors'
liquidation analysis focused on the additional costs and the diminution in value
to the Debtors' Estates that would occur if the Chapter 11 Cases were converted
to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. That is, in the event of a
conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy
Code, the liquidation value available to holders of Unsecured Claims and
Interests would be reduced by: (a) the costs, fees and expenses of the
liquidation, as well as other administrative expenses of the Debtors' chapter 7
cases; (b) unpaid Administrative Claims of the Chapter 11 Cases; and (c)
Priority Claims and Priority Tax Claims.

     The Debtors' costs of liquidation in chapter 7 cases would include, among
other things, the compensation of a trustee or trustees, as well as counsel and
other professionals retained by such trustees. The trustees and any newly
retained professionals would have to expend considerable time and effort to
review and understand the issues raised by the liquidation of the Debtors,
thereby duplicating the efforts of the Debtors and their professionals and
resulting in the incurrence of fees and expenses anticipated to exceed
materially the fees and expenses that would be incurred by the Distribution
Trustee and its professionals under the Plan. The trustee's fees in any chapter
7 case, which could be as much as 3% of the assets in the Debtors' Estates under
section 326 of the Bankruptcy Code (or approximately $9.0 million in the
aggregate), also are anticipated to exceed the fees to be paid to the
Distribution Trustee. Moreover, since any newly retained professionals would
lack the institutional knowledge of the facts and circumstances underlying
Claims and Recovery Actions, it is likely that Disputed Claims would be settled
at higher amounts and Recovery Actions at lower amounts, thereby resulting in
lower recoveries to holders of Unsecured Claims. Finally, due to the lack of
familiarity with the Debtors of any trustees appointed in the chapter 7 cases,
distributions in the chapter 7 cases likely would be made substantially later
than the Effective Date assumed in connection with the Plan and this delay would
reduce the present value of distributions to creditors, including holders of
Unsecured Claims. In light of the foregoing, the Debtors believe that creditors
will receive greater and more expeditious distributions under the Plan than they
would receive through a chapter 7 liquidation. The Plan is, therefore, in the
best interests of each Claim holder.

     FEASIBILITY

     Section 1129(a)(11) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that confirmation of a
plan not be likely to be followed by the liquidation, or the need for further
financial reorganization, of the debtors proposing such plan or any successor to
such debtors (unless such liquidation or reorganization is proposed in the
plan). The Plan provides for the liquidation of the Debtors and the distribution
of Cash to holders of Allowed Claims in accordance with the priority scheme of
the Bankruptcy Code and the terms of the Plan. The ability of the Debtors to
make the distributions described in the Plan is based solely on the amount of
Cash held, or to be held, in the Trust Accounts, and does not depend on future
earnings of the Debtors. Accordingly, the Debtors believe that the Plan
satisfies the feasibility requirements of the Bankruptcy Code.

     COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE

     Section 1129(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code requires that a plan comply with
the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors have considered
each of these provisions in the development of the Plan and believe that the
Plan complies with all provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

     MODIFICATION OR REVOCATION OF THE PLAN

     Subject to the restrictions on modifications set forth in section 1127 of
the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors reserve the right to alter, amend or modify the
Plan before its substantial consummation, with the consent of the Creditors'
Committee.


                                       58
<PAGE>
     The Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan prior to the
Effective Date, with the consent of the Creditors' Committee. If the Debtors so
revoke or withdraw the Plan, or if confirmation of the Plan does not occur, the
Plan will be null and void in all respects, and nothing contained in the Plan
will: (a) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims by or against, or any
Interests in, the Debtors; or (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of either
Debtor or any other party.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of the Plan described above, the Plan may
not be amended, modified, revoked or withdrawn with the intent of altering or
undermining in any way the Bankruptcy Court's determination of the respective
entitlement of holders of Allowed Claims under Sections 2.4(c)(i)(B) and
2.4(c)(ii)(B) of the Plan.

ALTERNATIVES TO CONFIRMATION AND CONSUMMATION OF THE PLAN

     Because the Debtors are not operating entities and possess no assets other
than Cash, the only alternatives to confirmation and consummation of the Plan
are a conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases to cases under chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code and the confirmation and consummation of an alternative plan of
liquidation under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.

     The Debtors believe that, in a liquidation under chapter 7, before
creditors received any distribution, additional administrative expenses involved
in the appointment of a trustee, and the retention of professionals to assist
such trustee, would cause a diminution in the value of the Debtors' Estates. The
Debtors believe that conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases to chapter 7 would,
therefore, result in (a) significant delay in distributions to all creditors who
would have received a distribution under the Plan and (b) diminished recoveries
for Class 3. See "-- Confirmation -- Best Interests Test."

     The Debtors believe that, because the Plan has been negotiated by the
Debtors and representatives of certain of the Debtors' most significant
creditors, including the Creditors' Committee, negotiating an alternative plan
of liquidation under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code is unlikely to alter
significantly the relative treatment of the Claims. The Debtors believe that
negotiating such an alternative plan would result in additional costs to the
Debtors relating to the retention of professionals to represent the Debtors and
their significant creditors in connection with such negotiations, resulting in a
diminution in the value of the Debtors' Estates. The Debtors believe that the
consummation of an alternative plan of liquidation under chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code would also result in (a) likely delays in distributions to all
creditors who would be entitled to receive a distribution under the Plan (thus
reducing the present value of such distributions) and (b) potentially diminished
recoveries for Class 3.

     THE DEBTORS AND THE CREDITORS' COMMITTEE BELIEVE THAT THE PLAN AFFORDS
GREATER BENEFITS TO CREDITORS THAN EITHER LIQUIDATION UNDER CHAPTER 7 OF THE
BANKRUPTCY CODE OR THE CONSUMMATION OF AN ALTERNATIVE PLAN OF LIQUIDATION UNDER
CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

IS PROVIDED BELOW. THE DESCRIPTION IS BASED ON THE IRC, TREASURY REGULATIONS
ISSUED THEREUNDER, JUDICIAL DECISIONS AND INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE ("IRS") AND
ADMINISTRATIVE DETERMINATIONS, ALL AS IN EFFECT ON THE DATE HEREOF. CHANGES IN
ANY OF THESE AUTHORITIES OR IN THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF, ANY OF WHICH MAY HAVE
RETROACTIVE EFFECT, MAY CAUSE THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE
PLAN TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THE CONSEQUENCES DESCRIBED BELOW.

     THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN ARE COMPLEX AND ARE
SUBJECT TO SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTIES. NO RULING HAS BEEN REQUESTED FROM THE IRS;
NO OPINION HAS BEEN REQUESTED FROM COUNSEL CONCERNING ANY U.S. TAX


                                       59

CONSEQUENCE OF THE PLAN; AND NO TAX OPINION IS GIVEN BY THIS DISCLOSURE
STATEMENT.

     THE DESCRIPTION DOES NOT COVER ALL ASPECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION
THAT MAY BE RELEVANT TO THE DEBTORS OR HOLDERS OF CLAIMS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE
DESCRIPTION DOES NOT ADDRESS ISSUES OF SPECIAL CONCERN TO CERTAIN TYPES OF
TAXPAYERS, SUCH AS DEALERS IN SECURITIES, LIFE INSURANCE COMPANIES, FINANCIAL
INSTITUTIONS, TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS AND FOREIGN TAXPAYERS, NOR DOES IT
ADDRESS TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HOLDERS OF INTERESTS IN THE DEBTORS. IN ADDITION,
THE DESCRIPTION IS LIMITED TO U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES AND DOES NOT
DISCUSS STATE, LOCAL OR FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES.

     FOR THESE REASONS, THE DESCRIPTION THAT FOLLOWS IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR
CAREFUL TAX PLANNING AND PROFESSIONAL TAX ADVICE BASED UPON THE INDIVIDUAL
CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH HOLDER OF A CLAIM OR INTEREST. HOLDERS OF CLAIMS OR
INTERESTS ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE U.S.
FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HOLDERS OF CLAIMS

     The federal income Tax consequences of the Plan to a holder of a Claim will
depend, in part, on: (a) whether the holder reports income on the accrual or
cash basis; (b) whether the holder has previously taken a bad debt deduction or
worthless security deduction with respect to the Claim; (c) whether the holder's
Claim is allowed or disputed at the Effective Date; (d) whether the holder
receives distributions under the Plan in more than one taxable year; and (e)
whether the holder receives distributions with respect to its Claim under one or
more plans of reorganization or liquidation of an Other Kaiser Debtor in
addition to the Plan.

     RECOGNITION OF GAIN OR LOSS

          In General

     In general, a holder of a Claim should recognize gain or loss equal to the
amount realized under the Plan in respect of its Claim less the holder's basis
in the Claim. Any gain or loss recognized in the exchange may be long-term or
short-term capital gain or loss or ordinary income or loss, depending upon the
nature of the Claim and the holder, the length of time the holder held the Claim
and whether the Claim was acquired at a market discount. If the holder realizes
a capital loss, its deduction of the loss may be subject to limitation. The
holder's aggregate Tax basis for any property received under the Plan generally
will equal the amount realized. The holder's amount realized generally will
equal the sum of the Cash and the fair market value of any other property
received (or deemed received) by the holder under the Plan on the Effective Date
or subsequent distribution date, less the amount (if any) allocable to Claims
for interest, as discussed below.

          Post-Effective Date Cash Distributions

     Because certain holders of Allowed Claims (including Disputed Claims that
ultimately become Allowed Claims) may receive Cash distributions subsequent to
the Effective Date in respect of Claims held against the Debtors, including
claims against Other Kaiser Debtor(s) as well as the Debtors, the imputed
interest provisions of the IRC may apply to treat a portion of such
distributions as imputed interest. Additionally, because such distributions may
be made to such holders after the initial distribution, any loss and a portion
of any gain realized by such holder may be deferred. All such holders are urged
to consult their Tax advisors regarding the possible application of (or ability
to elect out of) the "installment method" of reporting gain that may be
recognized by such holder in respect of its Claims.


                                       60
<PAGE>
          Bad Debt and/or Worthless Securities Deduction

     A holder who, under the Plan, receives in respect of a Claim an amount less
than the holder's Tax basis in the Claim may be entitled in the year of receipt
(or in an earlier or later year) to a bad debt deduction in some amount under
section 166(a) of the IRC or a worthless securities deduction under section
165(g) of the IRC. The rules governing the timing, character and amount of bad
debt and/or worthless securities deductions place considerable emphasis on the
facts and circumstances of the holder, the obligor and the instrument with
respect to which a deduction is claimed. Holders of Claims, therefore, are urged
to consult their Tax advisors with respect to their ability to take such a
deduction.

     PENDING PAYMENTS

     Cash that a Trust Account holds as a Pending Payment after the Effective
Date should be deemed to have been paid to the holder of the Claim entitled to
receive such Pending Payment on the date that the Distribution Trust received it
and to have been contributed by such holder to the Trust Account as a grantor
and beneficiary of the Distribution Trust. Thus, the holder should recognize
gain or loss based upon the amount deemed received and contributed to the Trust
Account on the Effective Date, and any income subsequently realized by the Trust
Account with respect to such Pending Payment will be reported by the Trustee as
income of the grantor-beneficiary in the year realized, prior to the actual
distribution of the Pending Payment to the holder of the Allowed Claim. The
actual receipt of the Pending Payments from the Trust Account will not be a
taxable event.

     PAYMENTS OTHER THAN PENDING PAYMENTS

     If any payment other than a Pending Payment is to be made out of a Trust
Account, such payment will not be deemed to have been made to any recipient
until, and to the extent that, the amount to which the payee is entitled has
been determined and distributed. Any income realized by the Trust Account prior
to such time will be reported by the Distribution Trustee as income of and
taxable to the Trust Account.

CERTAIN OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR HOLDERS OF CLAIMS

     RECEIPT OF PRE-EFFECTIVE DATE INTEREST

     In general, a Claim holder that was not previously required to include in
its taxable income any accrued but unpaid pre-Effective Date interest on the
Claim may be required to take such amount into income as taxable interest. A
Claim holder that was previously required to include in its taxable income any
accrued but unpaid pre-Effective Date interest on the Claim may be entitled to
recognize a deductible loss to the extent that such interest is not satisfied
under the Plan. The Plan provides that all distributions to a holder of an
Allowed Public Note Claim or a holder of a 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bond will be
deemed to apply first to the principal amount of such Claim or such 7-3/4% SWD
Revenue Bond until such principal amount is paid in full, and then the remaining
portion of such distributions, if any, will be deemed to apply to any
prepetition accrued interest included in such Claim or in respect of such 7-3/4%
SWD Revenue Bond. There is no assurance, however, that the IRS will respect this
treatment and will not determine that all or a portion of amounts distributed to
holders of Allowed Public Note Claims or 7-3/4% SWD Revenue Bonds is properly
allocable to prepetition interest. Each such holder is urged to consult its tax
advisor regarding the tax treatment of its distributions under the Plan and the
deductibility of any accrued but unpaid interest for federal income tax
purposes.

     INSTALLMENT METHOD

     A holder of a Claim constituting an installment obligation for Tax purposes
may be required to recognize currently any gain remaining with respect to the
obligation if, pursuant to the Plan, the obligation is considered to be
satisfied at other than its face value, distributed, transmitted, sold, or
otherwise disposed of within the meaning of section 453B of the IRC.

     INFORMATION REPORTING AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING

     All distributions under the Plan will be subject to applicable federal
income Tax reporting and withholding. The IRC imposes "backup withholding" on
certain "reportable" payments to certain taxpayers, including payments of
interest. Under the IRC's backup withholding rules, a holder of a Claim may be
subject to backup withholding with respect to distributions or payments made
pursuant to the Plan, unless the holder: (a) comes within certain exempt
categories (which generally include corporations) and, when required,
demonstrates this fact; or (b) provides a correct taxpayer identification number
and certifies under penalty of perjury that the taxpayer identification number
is correct and that the taxpayer is not subject to backup withholding because of
a failure to report all dividend and interest income. Backup withholding is not
an additional Tax, but merely an advance payment that may be refunded to the
extent it results in an overpayment of Tax. A holder of a Claim may be required
to establish an exemption from backup withholding or to make arrangements with
respect to the payment of backup withholding.

IMPORTANCE OF OBTAINING PROFESSIONAL TAX ASSISTANCE

     THE FOREGOING DISCUSSION IS INTENDED ONLY AS A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN U.S.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN, AND IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CAREFUL
TAX PLANNING WITH A TAX PROFESSIONAL. THE ABOVE DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATION
PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. THE TAX CONSEQUENCES ARE IN MANY CASES
UNCERTAIN AND MAY VARY DEPENDING ON A HOLDER'S INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
ACCORDINGLY, HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS ABOUT THE U.S.
FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PLAN.

          APPLICABILITY OF CERTAIN FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS

GENERAL

     No registration statement will be filed under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, 15 U.S.C. Sections 77a-77aa (the "Securities Act"), or any state
securities laws with respect to the offer and distribution under the Plan of the
beneficial interests in the Distribution Trust (which may be deemed to
constitute "securities" and are treated as such for purposes of the following
discussion). The Debtors believe that the provisions of section 1145(a)(1) of
the Bankruptcy Code exempt the offer and distribution of such securities under
the Plan from federal and state securities registration requirements.

BANKRUPTCY CODE EXEMPTIONS FROM REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

     INITIAL OFFER AND SALE

     Section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the offer and sale of
securities under a plan of reorganization from registration under the Securities
Act and state securities laws if three principal requirements are satisfied: (a)
the securities must be offered and sold under a plan of reorganization and must
be securities of the debtor, an affiliate participating in a joint plan with the
debtor or a successor to the debtor under the plan; (b) the recipients of the
securities must hold a prepetition or administrative expense claim against the
debtor or an interest in the debtor or such affiliate; and (c) the securities
must be issued entirely in exchange for the recipient's claim against or
interest in the debtor or principally in such exchange and partly for cash or
property. The Debtors believe that the offer and sale of the beneficial
interests in the Distribution Trust under the Plan satisfy the requirements of
section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, are exempt from
registration under the Securities Act and state securities laws.


                                       62
<PAGE>
     SUBSEQUENT TRANSFERS

     The beneficial interests in the Distribution Trust will be non-certificated
and non-transferable (except by will or under the laws of descent and
distribution). Therefore, holders of beneficial interests in the Distribution
Trust will not be able to voluntarily transfer such securities to other
entities.

                          RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION

     For all of the reasons set forth in this Disclosure Statement, the Debtors
believe that the confirmation and consummation of the Plan is preferable to all
other alternatives. Consequently, the Debtors urge all holders of Claims in
voting Classes to vote to accept the Plan and to evidence their acceptance by
duly completing and returning their Ballots so that they will be received on or
before the Voting Deadline.
