1/11/93 - called [redacted]. He advises that [redacted] holds only [redacted] and the latter's financials reflect the size of [redacted]. [Redacted] is a single entity and controls neither entity. The financials and its balance sheets are for 12/31/91 and the 12 months ending 12/31/91. [Redacted] will become the sole member of [redacted] in mid-February of 1993. I advised that the financials, which are of a date not more than 15 months prior to the consummation of the acquisition, indicate that there is neither a $100 MM or $10 MM person involved in the transaction. Consequently, no HSR filing is required.
