                                        - 3 -                                         

          their marriage, from 1973 until 1982.  In 1982, Mr. Heitzman                
          moved to Phoenix, Arizona, to pursue a business development                 
          opportunity with a startup company called Autocast, which had               
          been formed to manufacture concrete products for the housing                
          industry.  In 1983, petitioner and Mr. Heitzman were divorced.              
          They had no children together.                                              
               In 1975, Mr. Heitzman and petitioner bought a house in                 
          Honolulu, which served as their residence.  It was their only               
          joint investment during their marriage.  Mr. Heitzman made all              
          his other investment decisions without input from petitioner.               
          Although petitioner worked part time as a model and received                
          residuals from the Screen Actors Guild in 1979 for a television             
          commercial, Mr. Heitzman was the primary breadwinner.  In 1979,             
          Mr. Heitzman was employed by TSI Corporation as a real estate               
          developer.  He was also general partner in DMA Heitzman, which              
          developed condominium projects.                                             
               Petitioner made no independent investments during her                  
          marriage.  In 1975, petitioner completed her high school                    
          education by obtaining her General Education Diploma.  Petitioner           
          never took any accounting or bookkeeping courses.2                          

               2 Petitioner’s only other training was two real estate sales           
          workshops she took in preparation for an attempt to become a real           
          estate agent.  Petitioner failed the licensing examination the              
          first time partly because of her inadequate arithmetic skills.              
          On her second attempt, she passed the exam.  Aside from the sale            
          of a condominium, the listing for which was given to her at Mr.             
          Heitzman’s behest, petitioner never participated in the sale of             
          any real estate as a real estate agent.  Petitioner did not find            
                                                             (continued...)
