The EBITDA projection by Harvey of minus 78M for the year is very comforting. I hope it
proves correct.

However, the EBITDA is before about 216M of net interest expense, thus the negative cash
flow being projected for 2002 is close to 300M BEFORE capital expenditures and debt
retirement. After that things begin to look very rosy. But unless I misinterpret the figures,
the company will be going through a very tight cash funnel this year. If that can be solved
we can start worrying about using up the large tax loss carryforward before it expires.
But it is a legitimate concern at this time and I hope management plans for dealing with
it will be discussed with clarity at the next quarterly conference call if not before.
