                                       - 71 -                                         

              After the December 4, 1990 distribution, Brunswick held a               
         88.3651268-percent partnership interest in Otrabanda, Skokie held            
         a 1.6348732-percent partnership interest, and Bartolo held a 10-             
         percent partnership interest.                                                
                 On December 4, 1990, Brunswick, Skokie, and Bartolo also             
         agreed to amend the Otrabanda partnership agreement to provide               
         that an act of the partnership committee would only require the              
         vote or consent of partners whose aggregate partnership                      
         percentages were not less than 90 percent.  This amendment had               
         the practical effect of vesting Brunswick with control of                    
         Otrabanda inasmuch as Brunswick's and Skokie's aggregate                     
         partnership percentage interest was exactly 90 percent.                      
              On December 10, 1990, Brunswick paid Bartolo $645,000 in                
         cash.  It appears that this payment represents the price that                
         Brunswick paid to obtain control of Otrabanda.  The $645,000                 
         amount was recorded in the portion of Brunswick's Accrued                    
         Disposition Costs reserve account allocated to partnership                   
         activity.  Brunswick Corporation Posting Cycle Journal Entry No.             
         12-79 states that the $645,000 represents "fees due to ABN for               
         Otrabanda Partnership."  On December 11, 1990, Bartolo                       
         transferred the $645,000 to Clavicor and Clavicor transferred the            
         $645,000 to ABN to be applied as a credit to its loan account.
