               Contract 2034 required GENDYN to furnish the ACO with                  
          certain periodic reports, including a Quarterly Limitation of               
          Payment Report, which contained information regarding GENDYN's              
          performance under the entire contract as well as information                
          pertaining to each program year.  Information pertaining to                 
          individual program years was requested and used in connection               
          with the available funding.  Another report that GENDYN was                 
          required to submit on a monthly basis was the Cost Performance              
          Report, or “CPR”, which tracked GENDYN's projected cost at                  
          completion versus target costs for each program year.  To derive            
          program year cost estimates for the CPR’s, GENDYN broke down, by            
          program year, its estimate of the total cost.  The cost estimate            
          for 1 program year was on the basis that aircraft in the other              
          program years would be manufactured.  CPR’s were not audited by             
          the Defense Contract Audit Agency.  Monthly Contract 2034 profit            
          estimates could become inaccurate due to later occurring events             
          not known at the time of the estimate.                                      
               GENDYN also submitted, on a monthly basis, a Contract Cost             
          and Profit Summary or “CCPS”.  The CCPS was derived from and                
          contained information similar to the CPR.  Thus, the CCPS, like             
          the CPR, included breakdowns of GENDYN's estimated costs by                 
          program year.  GENDYN's program office used the CCPS as one means           
          of assessing how well GENDYN was performing on its contracts.               
          The CCPS was not used, however, for financial reporting purposes.           
          The Air Force used the CPR’s as program management tools, not as
