             initial user leases or the residual values of the equipment              
             upon expiration of the 96-month term of the master leases.               
             Presumably, Mr. Wilkins did not intend to say that the                   
             residual value of the equipment is the same on both dates.               
                  Each of the values set forth in paragraph 2 of the                  
             Appraisal is accompanied by a month and year which appear                
             to be the month in which each of the initial user leases                 
             terminates.  From that, we assume that the values set out                
             in paragraph 2 are the "residual" values of the equipment                
             upon the expiration of the initial user leases.  Thus, it                
             appears that the Appraisal fails to provide residual values              
             for the equipment upon expiration of the 96-month terms of               
             the master leases.                                                       
                  By failing to set forth the residual value of the                   
             equipment upon expiration of the master leases, it is                    
             evident that Mr. Wilkins' Appraisal is based on a mistaken               
             premise and is wrong.  After setting forth the anticipated               
             "residual" values of the equipment upon expiration of the                
             initial user leases, Mr. Wilkins discounts those values in               
             order to arrive at their present value in 1982, as follows:              
                  Present value, residual:  Mar. 1987 (Exh A) - $519,763              
                                      Nov. 1986 (Exh B) -  112,763                    
                                      Nov. 1985 (Exh C) -  181,205                    
                                      June 1985 (Exh D) -  122,657                    
                                           Total     936,388
