SCHEDULE OF CASH RECEIPTS AND DISBURSEMENTS

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

All Estate funds were transferred from the Comerica bank accounts to newly created LaSalle Bank accounts during the month ended March 31, 2004. The following Comerica accounts were subsequently closed and are no longer being utilized by the Estate: (i) Escrow Account, #1076119823, (ii) Estate Checking, #1850844851 and (iii) Investment Account, #19900683-00.

In addition to the Debtors’ unrestricted bank accounts as of April 30, 2004, Estate funds are escrowed as follows: (i) $4.2M as cash collateral for outstanding letters of credit, (ii) $2.3M for the payment of property taxes and mechanics’ liens, (iii) $150,000 for outstanding checks at the close of the SeverStal asset purchase.

(1) Funding of the Estate Checking account was delayed at month end due to a banking holiday. A transfer of $150,000 was received in the Estate Checking account on June, 1, 2004.

(2) A wire request for the transfer of $600,000 from the Estate Investment account to the Estate Checking account was sent to LaSalle Bank on June 29, 2004. The wire transfer was not processed by LaSalle Bank until July 1, 2004.
