Customers have paid on some of these and they are looking at the remainder should be receiving payments soon. This has been normal course of business with some of the larger retailers the Company sells to. 2. A few of our customers have not paid due to the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy, we having been working with them and should be receiving payment from them soon. Some of these customers have paid, are working with the other customers to get them paid. 3. The collectables are being reviewed on a weekly basis. Adjustments will be made when payments are received. 4. In August we transferred $134,305.55 to a Non-Trade Receivable Account as this is the total amount of prepetition Account Receivables for Black & Decker, Vermont American Magna, and Aronson Campbell. These customers have pre-petition balances in Accounts Payable and would like to have these amounts offset. Does the debtor have any accounts receivable due from an officer, director, partner, or other insider of the debtor?

Explain what progress the debtor made during the reporting month toward confirmation of a plan reorganization. See narrative. Case No. 01-31609-11 Jore Corporation Rule 2015 Report for the month ending January 31, 2002 Narrative Report Sales for the month of January 2002 were $3.5 million, a 40% increase over the same period in 2001. The top three customers had overall increases in sales over the prior year, some being attributable to moving forward sales orders from future months, but most are attributable to higher than expected sell through at the retail level. The Company's backlog of unfilled sales orders was $1.2 million at January 31, 2002. It is anticipated that February 2002 sales will exceed the prior year's sales levels by an equal amount. January's gross profit was 7.5% compared to a plan of 4.5% due to lower than expected costs in production. Many of the salaried personnel in overhead and administrative positions were working in the production area to get orders shipped. Selling and Marketing costs were lower than budget primarily due to the sales mix in relation to license brand fees. General & Administrative costs were lower than budget due to reallocation of wages to the packaging and assembly cost center in cost of goods sold. Interest expense is comprised of interest on the Company's debtor-in-possession facility. The Company is not accruing interest expense on its long-term debt. Bankruptcy administration expenses include amounts paid or due to professionals, primarily legal counsel of the interested parties in Jore's bankruptcy case. The current DIP facility limits payments to professionals to $100,000. On February 5th a ruling was issued from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court denying the breakup fees requested by the debtor. On February 6th, the previously submitted offer by Pentair was withdrawn. Porter Cable had made it clear they would not continue with their efforts without breakup fees to cover their due diligence costs in the event they were overbid. Currently GE Capital is moving forward with its own plan of reorganization. Based on a hearing on February 11th, the court extended the period to file a disclosure statement to February 22nd. This new disclosure statement will contain the GE plan. The next scheduled court date will be March 4th to review the disclosure statement and plan of reorganization.
