         cash and contingent payments based upon LIBOR.  The resolution               
         does not explain the basis for Merrill Lynch's recommendation to             
         sell the IBJ CDs.                                                            
              On July 27, 1990, Otrabanda sold its IBJ CDs to Sumitomo                
         Bank Capital Markets (Sumitomo) for $80 million in cash and 4                
         installment purchase agreements dated July 27, 1990 (Sumitomo                
         LIBOR notes) each with a stated NPA of $13,349,000 for a total               
         NPA of $53,396,000.                                                          
              The sale of the IBJ CDs to Sumitomo included $201,562 of                
         interest that had accrued on the IBJ CDs for the period from July            
         18, 1990 through July 27, 1990.  Otrabanda included this amount              
         in interest income on its Form 1065 for the taxable year ended               
         July 31, 1990.                                                               
              Each of the Sumitomo LIBOR notes that Otrabanda received                
         provided for 20 quarterly payments of an amount equal to 3-month             
         LIBOR, generally set 3 months preceding the payment date,                    
         multiplied by (1) the NPA of each note and (2) a fraction                    
         consisting of the number of days between payment dates divided by            
         360.  Payments on the Sumitomo LIBOR notes were to commence on               
         November 1, 1990, and to conclude on August 1, 1995.  The                    
         effective date of the Sumitomo LIBOR notes was August 1, 1990.               
              Otrabanda sold the IBJ CDs at 99.25 percent of par, or at a             
         private placement discount of $750,000 (75 basis points x                    
         $100,000,000).  Pepe of Merrill Lynch determined the origination
