                                        - 6 -                                         

               On August 31, 1993, Attorney Michele Hilden Willard was                
          appointed by the common pleas court as trustee of the Thomas                
          Trust.  On October 5, 1993, the common pleas court entered a                
          pretrial order (agreed to by the parties), which decreed that the           
          Thomas Trust terminated upon the death of decedent and that                 
          defendant Lester W. Bigley was entitled to a deed to the real               
          property that he had purchased from the Thomas Trust prior to               
          decedent's death.  Additionally, the common pleas court ordered             
          the trustee to file an inventory of the trust assets, to which              
          each party would have the right to file an objection.                       
               The trustee filed an inventory of Thomas Trust assets with             
          the common pleas court on October 28, 1993.  Both parties,                  
          decedent's estate and Mr. Thomas, filed objections, and hearings            
          were held on December 10 and 14.  On December 21, 1993, the                 
          common pleas court entered an order directing that all assets of            
          the Thomas Trust in excess of $27,500 should be distributed                 
          equally to its two remaining beneficiaries; i.e., decedent's                
          estate and Mr. Thomas.                                                      
               On November 18, 1994, the common pleas court entered a                 
          Judgment Entry of Dismissal with Prejudice, ordering that:  (1)             
          150 shares of Thomas, Inc. stock be distributed equally to                  
          decedent's estate and Mr. Thomas, (2) remaining parcels of real             
          estate be distributed to Mr. Thomas, and (3) all remaining cash             
          and cash equivalents minus the trustee's fee and a $1,000
