                                       - 70 -                                         
          received and reported rental income.  C. Rivers Stone also hired            
          on behalf of CRSLP advisors and accountants who at all times were           
          different from those of ES3LP, ES4LP, RSMLP, and MSFLP.  At no              
          time did the partners of CRSLP, including Mr. Stone and Ms.                 
          Stone, commingle the assets that CRSLP owned with their respec-             
          tive personal assets.  At all times, CRSLP was respected by the             
          Stone family as a separate entity.                                          
               In April 1997, the partners of RSMLP made bona fide, arm’s-            
          length transfers to that partnership, as follows.  On April 9,              
          1997, Mr. Stone transferred to RSMLP certain of his stock and               
          securities, including some of his preferred stock of Stones,                
          Inc., his interest in the 4.263-acre parcel and the .333-acre               
          parcel of the Piney Mountain property, and certain other prop-              
          erty, and Ms. Morris transferred to RSMLP her interest in each of           
          those parcels, in exchange for both general and limited partner-            
          ship interests.34  At a time not disclosed by the record in April           
          1997, Mr. Morris transferred certain property that he owned to              
          RSMLP in exchange for a general partnership interest, and Charles           
          H. Morris, Jr., and Rosalie S. Morris, II, transferred certain              
          property that they owned to RSMLP in exchange for limited part-             
          nership interests.  On April 15, 1997, Ms. Stone transferred                
          certain property, including certain of her stock and securities,            

               34Although not altogether clear from the record, it appears            
          that Ms. Morris also transferred certain other property to RSMLP            
          in exchange for general and limited partnership interests.
