Hi Tim

Leslie Reeves recently spoke to me about an outstanding receivable we still
have relating to PCA.

PCA went into bankruptcy in 1998. At the time of PCA's bankruptcy, PCA owed
a $5.3 million receivable to EPMI. On EPMI's books, this uncollected
receivable amount was offset by an out-of-the money forward position EPMI had
with PCA which we were able to take to zero when PCA defaulted (contract
provided for one way payments upon the occurrence of an event of default)
and some funds from credit. After netting all these amounts, there is still
a $600,000 receivable showing up as owed from PCA to EPMI. Based on the
current bankruptcy proceedings, it is not likely that EPMI will receive any
additional funds from PCA (we have taken a very low key approach in the
bankruptcy due to the lack of PCA funds, the extensive amounts owed by PCA to
other creditors, the assertions being made by PCA against some of the other
creditors, and the legal effect of the one-way payment termination payment
that provided us a significant offset to the receivable).

Accordingly, unless I hear otherwise from you, I will talk to Leslie and tell
her to go ahead and clean up the $600,000 PCA receivable now, and in the
unlikely event PCA makes payments to any creditors, we would then give such
amounts received from PCA back to you.

Call me if you have any questions.

Thanks
Elizabeth
