Good afternoo-yesterday we filed the monthly operating report, and included the total amount of living expenses paid on behalf of Miles as calculated in the attached allocation schedule. The US Trustee has asked us for further details on the amount we reported, and we intend to provide them with the attached allocation schedule. However, we anticipate that the US Trustee will also require that we provide the details of each vendor(s) paid that comprise the amounts reported in the allocation schedule. So, could you please prepare and send me a list of each of disbursement reported in each of the categories. The data that we will need to report is:

-Date -Payee Name

-Purpose (which I think can be the category identified in our allocation schedule (i.e. Travel,

meals, etc.)

-Amount -Check#

Please let me know if you have any questions or want to discuss.

Thank you.

Upon further review and discussions, we have revised the allocation percentages on the attached.

1) Increased the meals, to 50%. Since Miles and his wife are the primary residents at the CT house, notwithstanding their daughter or others might also consume, but primarily it is Miles and his wife at the house full-time and it is more conservative and easier to allocate that way.

2) Security- Increased to 100%. The primary reason that security has been retained is directly related to Miles, again, notwithstanding they might by directly assigned to his wife if she leaves, etc.

3) Utilities- Increased to 50%. Again, same explanation as the meals. For the most part it is Miles & his wife occupying the CT property. We did remove the cost of the Sherry's internet that was previously included.

4) Housekeeper- Changed the description from Repairs & Maintenance to more accurately classify the expense in this line item. Also, we increased the allocation % to 50% similar to the meals and utilities.

5) Insurance- Changed allocation to 0% since it pertained solely to The Sherry.

In our humble opinion, it is best to be more conservative (higher allocations attributable to Miles) than the alternative. Please let us know if you have any questions or if we should plan a call to discuss. Alternatively, if our changes are acceptable, then we can update the operating report that is due to be filed today.

Thank you.

Not final - I want to double confirm allocation, but this is what we have so far.
