Bayonne Medical Center filed for bankruptcy on April 16, 2007 and therefore is in default under the FSA loan agreements.

The most recent debt service payments were made as scheduled, by the hospital, to holders of the FSA-insured bonds on January 1, 2007.

The next debt service payments are due to bondholders on July 1, 2007. Debt service due through January 1, 2008 is $2.2 million net and $3.4 million gross.
