            any such other deposits, we note that respondent did not repre-                                
            sent to the Court in her motion to compel production of documents                              
            or in the evidentiary hearing on that motion that she sought                                   
            documents concerning the BB Loan No. 1 transaction that peti-                                  
            tioner failed to produce or that the documents she sought that                                 
            petitioner failed to produce related to that loan.106                                          
                  The only foreign corporation pledging collateral involved in                             
            the BB Loan No. 1 transaction that is disclosed by the record in                               
            these cases is Intercontinental.  The deposit pledged by Inter-                                
            continental was in the amount of $450,000.  BB Loan No. 1 was                                  
            funded by Bangkok Bank LA branch in the amount of $1,000,000.                                  
            Consequently, under respondent's theory in these cases, Intercon-                              
            tinental could not have been the "ultimate source" of the full                                 
            amount of that loan, although it could have been the "ultimate                                 
            source" of $450,000 of that loan.  On the record before us, we                                 
            limit our analysis of the BB Loan No. 1 transaction to $450,000                                
            of BB Loan No. 1 throughout the period during which the Intercon-                              
            tinental $450,000 deposit served, in form, as security as part of                              
            that loan transaction.                                                                         
                  The record establishes that, in form, Bangkok Bank Ltd.                                  
            through its Los Angeles branch funded a $1,000,000 loan to                                     
            Radcliffe and through its Hong Kong branch provided a $1,000,000                               


            106  We also note that during the trial of these cases petitioner                              
            provided respondent with copies of certain records of the Los                                  
            Angeles or the Hong Kong branch of Bangkok Bank Ltd. that respon-                              
            dent did not seek to introduce into evidence.
