                                        - 3 -                                         
          corporation over which petitioner had control or in which he had            
          some involvement.  Although petitioner contends that the                    
          delinquent corporations had become dissolved under the law of the           
          State of Colorado, his actions were improper and violated the               
          criminal laws of the State of Colorado.  Petitioner incurred                
          expenses in conducting this activity.                                       
               As a result of this illegal business activity, petitioner              
          directly or indirectly received money from the sale of the                  
          transferred properties or from investors who advanced capital to            
          develop these properties.  One such transaction involved real               
          property that had been held by a delinquent corporation and a new           
          corporation created by petitioner which obtained $280,000 in net            
          proceeds from a $380,000 loan using the property as collateral.             
               Ultimately, petitioner became the subject of civil and                 
          criminal proceedings resulting in judgments against petitioner              
          and his incarceration.  In particular, petitioner was convicted             
          of racketeering, theft, criminal attempt, securities fraud,                 
          forgery, and first degree offer of false instrument for                     
          recording.                                                                  
               Petitioner caused the organization of and controlled the               
          following corporate entities, each of which maintained bank                 
          accounts:  Aspen Western Development Corp. (Aspen); Youwonder               
          Corp. (Youwonder); Aspen-Western Mining Corp. (Western);                    
          Riverbank Corp., Inc. (Riverbank); Riverbank West Corp., Inc.
