Cory Gordon concluded his examination on Friday.? Highlights:
--The NSM/Pruessag Off-Take Agreements did not contain any tonnage and/or quality requirements. --Part of the offering proceeds ($3 million) were mysteriously paid to an entity called Rowlyn Investments.? The disbursement was approved by Shultes.? Nolan had no knowledge of the payment or the entity. --NSM purchased its scrap from Suntech -- a company not surprisingly controlled by Swasdi. --Nolan learned of SDI's termination after the letter had been sent by Busse.? Nolan was surprised and shocked to see the letter.? Nolan believes that the plant can be salvaged and will "make a lot of money for someone" in the future. Swartz began his examination late afternoon and tried to get Nolan focused on the two days prior to the Oct. 13 Bondholders' meeting.? Swartz asked Nolan about the source of the cash flow numbers presented to the bondholders.? Nolan generally deferred all questions concerning the cash/expenditure numbers to Stickler and Heasley.? Swartz did not ask questions about ECT/Enron although he did inquire whether Kevin McConville was generally accessible to Nolan.? Nolan stated that while he worked more closely with Stickler, Ari Levy and Heasly, McConville was responsive. Michael Tomaino was the only defense counsel to ask questions.? Tomaino focused on the problems SDI had with its start up phase and the depressed nature of the East Asian steel market in 1998.? Nolan stated that the operational and quality problems NSM faced were identical to those faced by SDI during its start up.? Nolan also stated that, in his opinion, the depressed Asian market was to blame for NSM's demise.? This e-mail message may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
