Estate of Beatrice Ellen Jones Dunn - Page 3




                                        - 3 -                                         
          primary business of Dunn Equipment was the renting (to refinery             
          and petrochemical businesses) of heavy equipment such as cranes,            
          air compressors, backhoes, man lifts, sanders, and grinders                 
          (collectively, “equipment”), as well as providing operators for             
          such equipment.  Crane rentals accounted for more than 50 percent           
          of the revenues of Dunn Equipment.  Although one of Dunn                    
          Equipment’s locations rented smaller equipment, such rentals                
          accounted for less than 5 percent of the company’s revenues.                
          Dunn Equipment charged an hourly rate for both the equipment and            
          the labor.  For fiscal years 1988 through 1991, the portion of              
          revenues attributable to labor, parts, and rentals of operated              
          equipment (i.e., equipment for which an operator was also                   
          supplied) ranged from 26.3 to 32.7 percent.  In addition to the             
          equipment, the tangible assets of Dunn Equipment included several           
          parcels of industrial real estate with a total appraised value of           
          $1,442,580 and a townhouse valued at $35,000.                               
               The capital stock of Dunn Equipment consisted of 786,455               
          shares, of which decedent owned 492,610, or 62.96 percent, and              
          Mr. Dunn owned 243,770, or 31.12 percent.  Decedent, Mr. Dunn,              
          and Peter Dunn were directors of Dunn Equipment.  Mr. Dunn was              
          president of Dunn Equipment, and Peter Dunn was vice president.             
          Until her death, decedent served as secretary-treasurer of Dunn             
          Equipment.  Mr. Dunn’s sole compensation from Dunn Equipment                
          during the period of fiscal year 1988 through fiscal year 1991
