            Bank stock was $5.92 per share, and each share was worth $8.34.                              
            Each share of Mr. Burke's University Bank stock was worth $1.89.                             
                  On June 29, 1982, Mr. Burke and BEC executed two contracts                             
            under which Mr. Burke transferred the properties to BEC in                                   
            exchange for its assumption of the liabilities which he assumed                              
            from Mrs. Burke and its cancellation of debt owed by him.  One                               
            contract provided that Mr. Burke sold the North Main property to                             
            BEC for $250,000, consisting of BEC's assumption of the $5,294                               
            debt and its cancellation of his $244,706 debt.  The second                                  
            contract provided that Mr. Burke sold the Walnut property to BEC                             
            for $675,000, consisting of its assumption of the $150,638 debt                              
            and its cancellation of his $524,362 debt.  One day later,                                   
            Mr. Burke deeded the properties to BEC, and BEC assumed $155,932                             
            of debt and canceled Mr. Burke's debt of approximately $853,000                              
            (instead of the total canceled debt of $769,068 shown in the                                 
            contracts).  Following the transaction, BEC claimed a $925,000                               
            basis in the properties and apportioned this basis as follows:                               
                  Asset                               Acquisition Cost                                   
                  Land:                                                                                  
                  Walnut property               $231,250                                                 
                  Buildings:                                                                             
                  Walnut property                      507,180                                           
                  North Main property                  186,570                                           
                  On Schedule D (Capital Gains and Losses) of their 1982

            inadmissible and do not rely on it.
