GENERAL NOTES TO DECEMBER 2008

MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT



General:



This report includes activity for all Debtors in these jointly administered cases.



Notes to MOR-1, 2 and 3:



The financial statements and supplemental information contained herein are preliminary, unaudited, and may not comply with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) in all material respects. In addition, the financial statements and supplemental information contained herein represent the condensed combined information for all Debtors.



The unaudited combined financial statements have been derived from the books and records of the Debtors. This information, however, has not been subject to certain procedures that would typically be applied to financial information in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and upon application of such procedures (such as tests for asset impairment), the Debtors believe that the financial information could be subject to changes, and these changes could be material. The information furnished in this report includes primarily normal recurring adjustments but does not include all adjustments that would typically be made for financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.



The results of operations contained herein are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other period or for the full year and may not necessarily reflect the consolidated results of operations and financial position of the Debtors in the future.
