                                        - 4 -                                         
               The December 31, 1990, conversion rate of the Brazilian                
          cruzeiros was Cr$16,020,000 to US$1, and the conversion rate did            
          not vary significantly from the rate on the due date of the 1990            
          Coral note payment.  Spencer Medical did not report the                     
          difference between the 1983 value (US$700,000) and the 1990 value           
          (approximately US$39) of the Coral note principal payment due to            
          Coral in 1990 as gain on its 1990 return.  Spencer Medical's 1990           
          return reflected a liability for interest in the total amount of            
          $384,586, payable on December 1, 1990.  Spencer Medical did not             
          report the difference between the 1983 value (US$384,586) and the           
          1990 value (approximately US$0) of the Coral note accrued                   
          interest payment due to Coral in 1990 as gain on its 1990 return.           
               Spencer Medical never paid the Coral note principal or the             
          interest accrued as of December 1, 1990, due on December 1, 1990.           
          Spencer Medical never received a demand for payment nor has any             
          other action been initiated by Coral to collect the principal and           
          accrued interest payment due from Spencer Medical on December 1,            
          1990.                                                                       
               Coral investments were sold by Allen F. Campbell (Campbell)            
          of Dallas, Texas, during 1982, 1983, 1984, and 1985 to more than            
          170 different entities throughout the United States.  In March              
          1984, James I. Gibb (Gibb), a revenue agent, was assigned to the            
          "injunction group" in Dallas.  The job of the injunction group              
          was to investigate promoters of abusive tax shelters.
