June 2004 Monthly Operating Report:
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1092536/000101968704001911/fastnet_8kex99-3.txt


On June 10, 2003, Fastnet Corporation (n/k/a FN Estate, Inc.) and
on June 13, 2003, each of its subsidiaries (excluding the
Company's wholly-owned subsidiary "DASLIC", a Delaware Holding
Company) filed respective voluntary petitions for relief under
Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in Jointly
Administered Case No. 03-23143 in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

As previously reported, on December 15, 2003, FASTNET Corporation  
and its debtor subsidiaries completed the sale of substantially   
all of their assets, including their Broadband and Dial Up   
Internet Access, Co-location, and Managed Hosting business units,   
to US LEC Corp. for an estimated $8.5 million, plus the
assumption of certain liabilities. The $8.5 million consisted of
$6 million in cash, $1.5 million in a promissory note and $1
million in Class A common stock of US LEC Corp.   
  
This sale was completed pursuant to the provisions of the United   
States Bankruptcy Code, and the sale procedures established by
the Bankruptcy Court, including an auction process. An order
approving such sale was issued by the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Case No. 03-23143,
on December 4, 2003.   
  
This transaction did not include assets associated with the   
Companies' Web Development business, upstate New York wireless   
business, certain wireline operations in upstate New York,
certain non-operating fixed assets and receivables from former
customers. As a result of this sale, Fastnet Corporation, Inc.
changed its name to FN Estate, Inc.  
   
On January 15, 2004, the Companies completed the sale of   
substantially all of their assets associated with their Web   
Development business to a group of noteholders of NetReach, Inc.,   
a subsidiary of FASTNET Corporation, in exchange for the
surrender and transfer to FASTNET Corporation of promissory notes
of NetReach, Inc. in the aggregate principal amount of $760,000
and in consideration of the assumption of certain liabilities.
This sale was completed pursuant to the provisions of the United
States Bankruptcy Code.  
   
On April 30, 2004, the Companies completed the sale of   
substantially all of their assets used or associated with their   
wireless Internet access operations located in Rochester, New
York to CBTEK, LLC, a New York limited liability company, for an   
estimated $155,000, plus the assumption of certain liabilities.  
This sale was completed pursuant to the provisions of the United   
States Bankruptcy Code.  
  
On May 4, 2004, FN Estate completed the sale of all of its   
information relating to certain customers in connection with FN   
Estate's wireline operations in the State of New York to Choice   
One Communications of New York, Inc., and agreed to cooperate   
during a finite period of time in the migration of such customers   
to the Choice One network. Pursuant to the asset purchase   
agreement entered into by FN Estate and Choice One, Choice One is   
obligated to pay to FN Estate a percentage of the charges   
collected by Choice One on or before April 30, 2005 from the   
customers that migrate to Choice One on or before June 30, 2004.   
This sale was completed pursuant to provisions of the United   
States Bankruptcy Code.  
  
The Companies are in the process of selling any remaining non-  
operating fixed assets and collecting receivables from former   
customers. The Companies anticipate filing a plan of liquidation   
with the Bankruptcy Court no later than August 31, 2004, followed   
by a winding up of their affairs. It is not anticipated that
there will be any funds available for distribution to shareholders
of FN Estate.


GENTEK INC: Second Quarter 2004 Net Income is $185,118
------------------------------------------------------
GenTek Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GETI) reported results for the
second quarter ended June 30, 2004.  GenTek's results reflect the
classification of its KRONE communications operating unit as a
discontinued operation due to the sale of that business on
May 18, 2004.  In addition, GenTek has applied fresh-start
accounting in conjunction with its emergence from bankruptcy
protection on Nov. 10, 2003, causing the results from the prior-
year period to not be comparable to current period results.

For the second quarter of 2004, GenTek had revenues totaling
$201.6 million and operating profit of $1.0 million.  Also for
the quarter, including earnings from discontinued operations, net
income totaled $185.1 million.

For the six months ending June 30, 2004, GenTek had revenues
totaling $394.5 million and operating profit of $23.1 million.
Also for the six-month period, net income was $199.9 million.

                        Pro Forma Results

To facilitate the comparison of 2004 results against prior
periods, GenTek has presented prior-period results on a pro forma
basis, as if the company had emerged from bankruptcy at the
beginning of such period. In addition, 2004 and 2003 pro forma
results are presented as if the company had completed its sale of
the KRONE communications business at the beginning of such
periods.  These pro forma results are based upon certain
important assumptions that are material to the presentation of
such results.  In particular, the pro forma results assume a
normalized effective tax rate, which may ultimately be materially
different from GenTek's future effective tax rate.  While
management believes that this presentation of pro forma results
may be useful, we caution investors not to rely solely on such
results in making investment decisions.

Pro forma results for the second quarter and first six months of
2004, as well as for the prior-year periods, are summarized in the
attached Schedule 2 and all pro forma adjustments are detailed in
Schedules 3 through 6.

For the second quarter of 2004, GenTek posted revenues of $201.6
million compared with $205.0 million in the corresponding quarter
of 2003.  For the second quarter of 2004, GenTek recorded
operating profit of $1.0 million (after restructuring and
impairment charges of $6.1 million) versus a pro forma operating
profit of $7.7 million in the second quarter of 2003.  The
company recorded a pro forma net loss of $0.1 million in the
second quarter compared with pro forma net income of $5.5 million
for the same period last year.

                    Adjusted Pro Forma Results

For further comparison against prior and future periods, GenTek
has also presented 2004 second-quarter results, as well as results
for the comparable prior-year periods, on an adjusted pro forma
basis.  The adjusted pro forma results reflect removing the impact
of any restructuring, impairment, reorganization and certain one-
time items.  These adjustments are detailed on Schedules 7 and 8.

In addition, the company has presented adjusted earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA)
as a measure of operating results.  Adjusted EBITDA reflects
removing the impact of any restructuring, impairment,
reorganization, income from discontinued operations and certain
one-time items.  GenTek has presented adjusted EBITDA to enhance
the reader's understanding of operating results, as it is a
measure commonly used to value businesses by investors and
lenders.  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles) measure, and as such, a reconciliation of
adjusted EBITDA to pro forma net income is provided in
Schedule 9.

During the second quarter of 2004, adjusted EBITDA was $17.8
million compared with $22.0 million in the second quarter of
2003.  The majority of the decrease in adjusted EBITDA, or
approximately $3.4 million, is attributable to the effect of
foreign currency gains and losses.  On an adjusted pro forma
basis, the company's second-quarter net income totaled $5.0
million compared with $5.5 million for the same period in 2003.

"We are quite pleased with our second quarter results,
particularly in light of the severe raw material price pressure
experienced year-over-year," said Richard R. Russell, GenTek's
president and CEO.  "Maintaining the prior-year's adjusted EBITDA
level, excluding the effect of foreign exchange, was accomplished
through improved pass-through of raw material costs and by taking
aggressive action to control other costs.  Our continued efforts
to improve cash flow have become even more critical in light of
our expectation that raw material pricing across all of our
businesses will remain challenging for the foreseeable future,"
Mr. Russell noted.  "Our initiative to improve trade payable
credit terms are partially reflected in the higher June 30th
payables figure, with additional improvements expected to
contribute favorably to cash flow in the second half of the year."

"GenTek's strong balance sheet provides us with significant
financial flexibility going forward, including the ability to
pursue additional strategic growth opportunities within our core
businesses," Mr. Russell said.  "The integration of our most
recent strategic acquisition, Whirlpool's Reynosa wire-harness
business, is proceeding smoothly and according to our planned
timetable."

KAISER ALUMINUM: Reports $24.2 Million 2nd Quarter Net Income
-------------------------------------------------------------
Kaiser Aluminum reported net income of $24.2 million for the
second quarter of 2004, compared to a year-ago net loss of $61.4
million.  Net income for the second quarter includes a pre-tax
gain of $23.4 million associated with the sale of the Mead,
Washington, smelter.

For the first six months of 2004, Kaiser reported a net loss
of $39.8 million compared to a net loss of $126.5 million for the
same period of 2003.

Net sales in the second quarter and first six months of 2004 were
$345.1 million and $658.4 million, compared to $296.0 million and
$574.9 million for the same periods of 2003.  Kaiser President and
Chief Executive Officer Jack A. Hockema said, "The improvement in
net income in the second quarter of 2004 was due largely to higher
realized prices for alumina and primary aluminum, the gain on the
Mead sale, and higher shipments of fabricated aluminum products.  
We were particularly pleased by the improvements in our fabricated
products business, which we expect to be the core business on
which Kaiser focuses in its reorganization."

In accordance with applicable accounting standards, the gain on
the sale of Mead, as well as the operating results for the 65%-
owned Alpart alumina refinery in Jamaica, have been reported
as discontinued operations in the company's Statements of
Consolidated Income for the quarter and six-month periods of 2004
and 2003.  The company expects to apply similar treatment to
material asset sales that may be completed in the future.

In commenting on the company's restructuring efforts, Mr. Hockema
said, "Kaiser continues to make progress in its Chapter 11 case.  
The completion of the sale of the company's interests in and
related to Alpart on July 1, 2004 was an important step, and we
expect to complete the sale of our interests in Gramercy, Kaiser
Jamaica Bauxite Company, and Valco in the third quarter of this
year.  However, the company now believes that it is not likely
that it will emerge from Chapter 11 until sometime in the first
half of 2005 due to, among other things, longer than expected
negotiations in respect of the Intercompany Settlement Agreement
and the fact that the commodity asset sales process has taken
longer than previously expected.  In advance of this, we are
pushing for an aggressive pace that would enable us to file a
Disclosure Statement that proposes a Plan of Reorganization by
the end of 2004."

Mr. Hockema said, "To reach that goal, the company and its
advisors are focused on resolving a number of remaining issues."
In particular, Mr. Hockema cited the company's ongoing discussions
with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC); negotiations
on the Intercompany Settlement Agreement; a planned amendment to
the Post-Petition Credit Agreement; and the status of the QAL sale
process.  These and other issues are described more fully in
Kaiser's Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2004.

Kaiser ended the second quarter of 2004 with liquidity of
approximately $170 million and no borrowings under its Post-
Petition Credit Agreement.

                            *********

Monday's edition of the TCR delivers a list of indicative prices
for bond issues that reportedly trade well below par.  Prices are
obtained by TCR editors from a variety of outside sources during
the prior week we think are reliable.  Those sources may not,
however, be complete or accurate.  The Monday Bond Pricing table
is compiled on the Friday prior to publication.  Prices reported
are not intended to reflect actual trades.  Prices for actual
trades are probably different.  Our objective is to share
information, not make markets in publicly traded securities.
Nothing in the TCR constitutes an offer or solicitation to buy or
sell any security of any kind.  It is likely that some entity
affiliated with a TCR editor holds some position in the issuers'
public debt and equity securities about which we report.

Each Tuesday edition of the TCR contains a list of companies with
insolvent balance sheets whose shares trade higher than $3 per
share in public markets.  At first glance, this list may look like
the definitive compilation of stocks that are ideal to sell short.  
Don't be fooled.  Assets, for example, reported at historical cost
net of depreciation may understate the true value of a firm's
assets.  A company may establish reserves on its balance sheet for
liabilities that may never materialize.  The prices at which
equity securities trade in public market are determined by more
than a balance sheet solvency test.

A list of Meetings, Conferences and Seminars appears in each
Wednesday's edition of the TCR. Submissions about insolvency-
related conferences are encouraged. Send announcements to
conferences@bankrupt.com.

Each Friday's edition of the TCR includes a review about a book of
interest to troubled company professionals. All titles are
available at your local bookstore or through Amazon.com. Go to
http://www.bankrupt.com/books/to order any title today.

Monthly Operating Reports are summarized in every Saturday edition
of the TCR.

For copies of court documents filed in the District of Delaware,
please contact Vito at Parcels, Inc., at 302-658-9911. For
bankruptcy documents filed in cases pending outside the District
of Delaware, contact Ken Troubh at Nationwide Research &
Consulting at 207/791-2852.
