                                        - 7 -                                         
                    Q      Okay.  Now, do you take him to Florida to                  
               see the property you’re about to purchase?                             
                    A      Well, we talked about it before, and he                    
               said I’d like to see it.  I said wonderful.                            
                    He came down with us, knowing full well that--we                  
               had talked before.  Knowing full well that he was going                
               to loan me a sum of money to purchase this property,                   
               and I would put in the additional sum.                                 
                    Q      The discussion about the loan, did that                    
               occur here in Philadelphia?                                            
                    A      Yes.                                                       
                    Q      And your father was going to Florida to                    
               what?                                                                  
                    A      Just look at the house with us.                            
                    Q      Was it your understanding that if he                       
               approved of the house he would then give you the money                 
               for the loan?                                                          
                    A      Yes.                                                       
                    Q      If he didn’t approve of the house, he                      
               wouldn’t give you the money?                                           
                    A      That’s true.                                               
                    Q      How long did it take you and your                          
               81-year-old dad and your wife to go to Florida?                        
                    A      Two days.                                                  
                    Q      So you leave somewhere right around the end                
               of February?                                                           
                              *   *   *   *   *   *   *                               
                    Q      Mr. Mantakounis, after your father viewed                  
               the property, what, if anything, did he do?                            
                    A      He liked the property, and he said buy it.                 
               Here’s the money.  Go make settlement.
