          transfer significant funds to NPI on the dates and in the amounts           
          as follows:

          Burton never told his accountant and return preparer, Edward                
          Bradac (Bradac), about ERG’s 1988 transfer of $180,000 to NPI.              
          Bradac was unaware of the transfer until late 1995 or early 1996            
          when he worked on compiled financial statements for ERG.                    
               All the aforementioned transfers were made from ERG’s bank             
          account and deposited into NPI’s bank account.
