(d) None of Philip Falcone, Raymond J. Harbert or Michael D. Luce has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). (e) None of the Reporting Persons have, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding were or are subject to a judgement, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Item 3.

As of the date hereof HMC Management may be deemed to beneficially own 2,626,300 Shares. As of the date hereof HMC Investors may be deemed to beneficially own 2,626,300 Shares.

No borrowed funds were used to purchase the Shares, other than any borrowed funds used for working capital purposes in the ordinary course of business. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Item 4. Purpose of Transaction. The Reporting Persons initially acquired the Shares for their own account, and for investment purposes, with no purpose of changing or influencing control of the Company and not in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect. The Reporting Persons have no plans or proposals as of the date of this filing which, other than as expressly set forth below, relate to, or would result in, any of the actions enumerated in Item 4 of the instructions to Schedule 13D. On March 22, 2006, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of California (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Company is currently operating its business as a debtor-in-possession in accordance with provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Chapter 11 case of the Company (the "Chapter 11 Case") is being administered as Case No. 06-00510-LA11. One or more of the Reporting Persons joined an Ad Hoc Committee of Equityholders (the "Ad Hoc Committee") of the Company. Notwithstanding the Reporting Persons' participation in the Ad Hoc Committee, the Reporting Persons have not entered into any agreement or understanding to act together with the other participants of the Ad Hoc Committee for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Company; therefore, the Reporting Persons disclaim membership in a group, for purposes of Section 13(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, with the other participants of the Ad Hoc Committee. The Reporting Persons have been closely monitoring the Chapter 11 Case. On June 26, 2006, the Ad Hoc Committee filed a motion (the "Motion") with the Bankruptcy Court for an order granting relief from the automatic stay to the Ad Hoc Committee, in order to allow the members of the Ad Hoc Committee to file a summary application with the California Superior Court to compel the Company to hold promptly its annual meeting of shareholders for the purpose, among other potential business, of electing directors. The Motion requested, in the alternative, that the Bankruptcy Court issue an order to terminate the Company's period of exclusivity to allow the Ad Hoc Committee or any other interested party to file a plan of reorganization and to solicit votes for such a plan. The Reporting Persons have been, and reserve the right further to be in contact with, members of the Company's management, members of the Company's Board of Directors, other significant shareholders and others regarding alternatives that the Company could employ to protect and maximize shareholder value and, in particular, regarding the direction and outcome of the Chapter 11 Case. It is the present intention of the Reporting Persons to continue discussions with the Company and to seek an agreement with the Company regarding a mutually acceptable plan of reorganization (subject to approval of the Bankruptcy Court and other required approvals, if any), which agreement or plan may contemplate, among other things, the provision of equity or debt financing by the Reporting Persons (as well as by other members of the Ad Hoc Committee, potentially) and changes in the size and/or composition of the Company's Board of Directors. There can be no assurance that such an agreement with the Company will be reached or that it will contain any or all of the terms contemplated above, and nothing in this filing is intended or should be construed to describe any intention, plan or proposal of or by the Company, its management or its Board of Directors. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to pursue alternative courses of action, including in the event that such an agreement with the Company is not reached or the Reporting Persons determine at any time to abandon the seeking of such an agreement. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to effect transactions that would change the number of shares they may be deemed to beneficially own. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Item 5.
