                                        - 5 -                                         
          Cogeneration, Inc. (ECI), for $6,080,000 ($1,520,000 per                    
          machine).  ECI agreed to pay PI $451,000 for the four recyclers             
          at the closing, with the balance of $5,629,000 financed through a           
          12-year nonrecourse promissory note (ECI note).  Each monthly               
          installment on the ECI note was $81,250.                                    
               Simultaneously, ECI resold the recyclers to F&G Equipment              
          Corp. (F&G) for $7 million.  F&G agreed to pay ECI $513,000 at              
          the closing, with the balance of $6,487,000 financed through a              
          purportedly partial recourse promissory note (F&G note).  The F&G           
          note was recourse against F&G to the extent of 20 percent of its            
          face value.  However, the recourse portion was payable only after           
          F&G satisfied the nonrecourse portion of the note.  Each monthly            
          installment on the F&G note was $81,250.  In turn, F&G leased the           
          recyclers to SAB Foam for a monthly base rent of $81,250.                   
          Pursuant to the lease and in accordance with applicable                     
          provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury                    
          regulations, F&G elected to treat SAB Foam as having purchased              
          the recyclers for purposes of the investment and business energy            
          tax credits.                                                                
               Simultaneously, SAB Foam entered into a joint venture with             
          PI and Resin Recyclers, Inc. (RRI).  The joint venture agreement            
          provided that RRI was to assist SAB Foam with the placement of              
          recyclers with end-users and that PI was to pay a joint venture             
          fee to SAB Foam of $81,250.
