(the “Company”) filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”).

(the “Non-Filing Subsidiaries”) filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 in the Bankruptcy Court. On October 22, 2001, the Non-Filing Subsidiaries ceased all operations and the secured creditor, Holland America Line, took possession of the ms Patriot (the primary asset of Oceanic Ship Co.) in connection with the uncontested foreclosure of its maritime lien on the vessel. All subsidiaries of the Company other than the Non-Filing Subsidiaries are hereinafter referred to as the “Filing Subsidiaries.”

This information might not be indicative of the Company’s financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. Results set forth in any of the Reports should not be viewed as indicative of future results.
