course of conduct between a debtor and its creditors and other matters in various Federal courts,

including the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama. I am a former partner of

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and its legacy firm, Coopers & Lybrand, LLP, where I served as the

Hey Guys,

FYI I've confirmed for another $250,000 investment on or just prior to August 14, and for another $200,000 on or just prior to September 15.

So just to recap, here is who I have confirmed thus far in the next couple of months:

$250,000 - 7/17 $250,000 - 7/31

$250,000 - 8/14 $500,000 - 8/14

$200,000 - 9/14 $1,500,000 - 10/1

In addition, I'm anticipating for an additional $250,000, and potentially for another $500,000, both in September -

has a tract maturing 9/1 and on 9/15. I've emailed both and am awaiting replies. I will let you know when confirmed. I'm also thinking that will be ready for another tract in the September time frame, as he'd indicated he wants to invest on a regular quarterly basis, but I'm waiting to hear back regarding the UCC/mill contract issue prior to calling him to arrange a visit. I will confirm him at that time.

Thank you both so much!

Mike
