                                       - 84 -                                         
             bargain price, or whether EPIC is overcharging the                       
             investors."                                                              
                  In a later memorandum dated August 24, 1984, after                  
             CMAC had written mortgage insurance on a small amount of                 
             EPIC's business, Mr. Miller focused on the risk "that the                
             overall market for investment property could become                      
             saturated, and/or the EPIC Management might overextend                   
             themselves by paying too much for their properties."                     
             Mr. Miller instructed his staff to order spot-check                      
             appraisals of the EPIC property.  The spot-check appraisals              
             did not support the values suggested by EPIC's appraisals,               
             and CMAC was not able to reconcile the differences.                      
             Shortly thereafter, in a letter dated August 5, 1985, CMAC               
             ended its business relationship with EPIC.
