          the agreement at issue in the Farmers lawsuit and by examining              
          certain other records that were obtained from FIG containing the            
          charges for such work.                                                      
               (2)  Mr. Wharton next analyzed certain historical financial            
          data of DCI and ETS that showed the categories, and the amounts             
          in each category, of revenues received by DCI and by ETS during             
          the years 1981 through 1984.  Based on that analysis, Mr. Wharton           
          concluded there were the following four categories of revenues              
          received by DCI or ETS during those years, (a) service, (b) mile-           
          age, (c) office, and (d) photo, phone, and reimbursable items.              
          He allocated the total lost revenues of $2,990,352 among those              
          four categories in proportions that reflected the historical data           
          relating to those years that he had analyzed.                               
               (3)  Mr. Wharton next analyzed certain historical financial            
          data of DCI and ETS that indicated the relationship of costs to             
          revenues within each of the four categories of revenues shown in            
          Analysis 1.  Based on that analysis, Mr. Wharton determined the             
          direct costs that DCI or ETS would have incurred in generating              
          the lost revenues within each of those categories.                          
               (4)  Mr. Wharton next conducted "a study of the general                
          administrative-type expenses" to determine the additional vari-             
          able overhead costs (variable overhead) that DCI or ETS would               
          have incurred on an annual basis during 1981 through 1985 in                
          generating the $2,990,352 of total lost revenues for that period.           
               (5)  Mr. Wharton next reduced the total lost revenues by the
