Acme Equipment Trust, Robert Hogue, Trustee - Page 8




                                        - 7 -                                         
          Trust, Federal Tax Identification Number 56-6454364",4 as well as           
          certain, partially completed bank documents bearing the same tax            
          identification number.  To the extent that these “Minutes” and              
          bank documents bear a date, they all purport to be dated May 1,             
          1997.                                                                       
               Among the foregoing “Minutes” is one entitled “First Minutes           
          of the Acme Trust”.  This document references a Robin Morgan,               
          “creator” of the trust, who purports to appoint Robert Hogue as             
          “legal trustee”.                                                            
               In the “Second Minutes of the Acme Trust”, Robert Hogue                
          purports to appoint Carol Ruthenberg as “substitute trustee/legal           
          agent”.5                                                                    
               In yet another “Minutes”, Michael Welch and Carol                      
          Ruthenberg, identified as “old trustees”, purport to appoint                
          Robert Hogue as “new trustee”; Welch and Ruthenberg then purport            
          to resign as trustees.  Also noteworthy is the fact that the                
          purported signature of “Carol Ruthenberg” on these “Minutes” does           
          not resemble the purported signature of “Carol Ruthenberg” on the           
          January 13, 1997, trust instrument discussed above.                         


               4  We regard “Acme Trust” and “Acme Equipment Trust” as one            
          and the same.                                                               
               5  Although the “Second Minutes” are not dated, the “First             
          Minutes”, “Third Minutes”, “Fourth Minutes”, “Fifth Minutes”, and           
          “Sixth Minutes” are all dated May 1, 1997.                                  
               Also, we note that the various “Minutes” are followed by an            
          undated document entitled “Resignation From the Acme Trust” that            
          is executed by Robert Hogue.
