          in the Plastics Recycling program.4  William A. Boylan (Boylan)             
          and John D. Evans (Evans) were formerly partners at Windells,               
          Marx, Davis & Ives, the law firm that had provided the legal                
          opinion for Sentinel EPE recycler partnerships such as                      
          Clearwater, before leaving in 1982 and forming their own law                
          firm.                                                                       
               Also included in the offering memorandum were the reports of           
          two “evaluators”, Samuel Z. Burstein (Burstein) and Stanley                 
          Ulanoff (Ulanoff).  Burstein was a professor of mathematics at              
          New York University.  Burstein’s report concluded that the                  
          Sentinel EPS recyclers were capable of continuous recycling.  The           
          report also concluded that the recycling system would yield a               
          material having commercial value.                                           
               At the time Ulanoff prepared his report, he was a professor            
          of marketing at Baruch College and also the author of numerous              
          books on technical and marketing subjects.  Ulanoff’s report                
          concluded that the price paid by F&G for the Sentinel EPS                   
          recyclers, the rent paid by Whitman, and the joint venture                  
          profits were fair and reasonable.                                           
               Burstein owned a 5.82-percent interest in another Plastics             
          Recycling partnership that leased Sentinel EPS recyclers.                   
          Ulanoff owned interests in other Plastics Recycling partnerships            

               4  The tax opinion prepared by Boylan & Evans was part of              
          the private offering memoranda of approximately 92 other Sentinel           
          EPS recycler partnerships.
