                                       - 12 -                                         
          the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York               
          approved a plan of distribution from Boesky’s disgorgement fund             
          to persons who sold old FMC stock from February 18 through April            
          4, 1986.                                                                    
               On or about August 5, 1992, petitioner filed a second                  
          amended complaint (Second Amended Complaint).  The Second Amended           
          Complaint generally contains the same 16 counts as the Complaint            
          and the First Amended Complaint, plus an additional common law              
          count.  The Second Amended Complaint notes that petitioner's                
          securities law counts and its allegation that petitioner                    
          sustained damages in excess of $235 million had been dismissed              
          but were alleged again to preserve petitioner's rights to seek              
          reconsideration of that dismissal and to appeal.  Paragraph 94(b)           
          of the Second Amended Complaint alleges as "Adverse Financial               
          Consequences to FMC" that                                                   
                    The price of FMC's common stock was                               
                    wrongfully manipulated, causing FMC to revise                     
                    its initial recapitalization plan and pay                         
                    approximately $220 million more in cash than                      
                    FMC would have paid for its publicly held                         
                    common stock, tendered in response to FMC's                       
                    offer to purchase Old FMC Stock and to sell                       
                    New FMC Stock * * *                                               
          Subsequently, at the direction of Judge Pollack, petitioner filed           
          a revised Second Amended Complaint, omitting claims that had                
          previously been dismissed or settled.                                       
               On September 11, 1992, Goldman moved for summary judgment on           
          all of petitioner's remaining claims.  For the limited purpose of
