                                               - 41 -                                                  
            whether the purchase of cellular publications referred to above                            
            furthered NITCO's interests and was of direct and substantial                              
            benefit to NITCO or, instead, was primarily of benefit to                                  
            individual members of the Mussman family.  The Northwestern                                
            Indiana Cellular matter referred to above concerned a corporation                          
            that was originally formed to hold cellular telephone interests,                           
            but which subsequently was abandoned.  It is not clear whether                             
            Mr. Mussman planned to have NITCO, rather than the individual                              
            members of the Mussman family, own Northwestern Indiana Cellular,                          
            and whether Mr. Mussman planned to have it hold cellular                                   
            telephone interests that NITCO, rather than individual members of                          
            the Mussman family, owned.

                  NITCO maintained its books and filed its income tax returns                          
            on a calendar year basis, utilizing an accrual method of                                   
            accounting.  During 1982 through 1993, NITCO's gross receipts and                          
            its accumulated earnings and profits (Accum. E&P) were as                                  
            follows:
