               Effective January 1, 1986, a new Gateway Corp./Essex                   
          agreement reduced Essex's share of Gateway Corp.'s fees from the            
          operations of the Gateway Hotel and the Midland Hotel from 75               
          percent to 40 percent.                                                      
               Although Eulich-Management was sold by Eulich to an                    
          unrelated company called Aircoa in 1986, Eulich-Management                  
          continued to participate as a partner in Essex until about 1990.            
               In early 1990, Gateway Corp. lost the management contracts             
          on the Gateway and Midland hotels and ceased operating.  The                
          Essex partnership terminated by 1991.                                       
               During the years 1982 through 1988, Essex reported the
