We present a spectral analysis of the dereddened FUSE and HST/STIS spectra separately and combined together assuming E(B-V)=0.1 & 0.2. Overall, we find that the model fits are in much better agreement with the dereddened spectra when E(B-V) is large, as excess emission in the longer wavelengths render the slope of the observed spectra almost impossible to fit, unless E(B-V)=0.2 . The best fit accretion disk model is obtained for E(B-V)=0.2 . A single white dwarf model leads to a rather hot temperature (30,000K < Twd < 55,000K depending on the assumptions) but does not provide a fit as good as the accretion disk model. A combination of a white dwarf plus a disk does not lead to a better fit. The same best fit disk model is consistently obtained when fitting the FUSE and HST/STIS spectra individually and when combined together, implying therefore that the disk model is the best fit not only in the least chi2 sense, but also as a consistent solution across a large wavelength span of observation. This is not the case with the single white dwarf model fitting which leads to a different (and therefore inconsistent) temperature for each different spectrum FUSE, STIS and FUSE+STIS.
