In 1980 Mr. Kadi began his business career as Vice President of a company, which
represented American Hospital Supplies in Saudi Arabia Over the past 20 years he has
e)rpanded his business and financial operations successfully to a number of countries,
including the United Stales, Great Britain, Canada, Malaysia, Turkey, Pakistan, Jordan,
Lebanon, Bosnia and Albania. To summarize Mr. Kadi's business ventures, he is a respected
businessman and financier, active in banking; construction; real estate development;
manufacturing; technology; mining; food processing and distribution; healthcare and
Pharmaceuticals; media and broadcasting; and international trade, as well as investing in the
stock market He is also involved in various educational and charitable activities.

On October IS, 2001, a. "Notice of Blocking" was sent to Mr. Kadi informing him
that, pursuant to Executive Order No. 13224 (66 Fed Reg. 4-9079) of September 23, 2001,
"the OfSce of foreign Assets Control.. .added your name to the list of persons who commit,
threaten to commit, or support terrorism (Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT))."
The Notice of Blocking also advised Mr. Kadi of the blocking of certain assets; trie need for
licenses) for various transactions; the applicable penalties; and the procedures for
challenging OFAC's determination. *
At or around the same time, similar measures - which Mr. Kadi is challenging - were
taken against him in various other jurisdictions, including the United Kingdom, Switzerland,
and the European Union.
ImipiSHci on M r . Knoll
The purported blocking of Mr. Kadi's assets and his listing as a "global terrorist"
have had a aerioua adverse impact on Mr, Kadi's reputation, business, and his family, as well
as his health. As st&&& in our November 2? Request far a License, it is frankly difficult to
conceive of a more serious allegation against anyone than designation as a "SDGT'.

HP' when on 12 October 2001, without any form of prior notfce to me, HM Treasury
instructed all financial institutions to freeze my assets held in the United Kingdom
(together with the assets of other named persons and organisations). The first
that I heard of this decision was the publication on that day of Press Releases by
HM Treasury and the US Treasury Department (see pages 1-7). The effect of the
UK Press Release is to freeze all my assets and prevent me from doing any form
of business in the UK. To make matters worse, both Press Releases also brand
1
me, in no uncertain terms, as a terrorist or supporter of terrorism. On 15 October
2001 (see pages 8-9), my Solicitors wrote to Sir Andrew Turnbull, Permanent

PCR1-159363.3 -|2
003825
25. Dr Zaki is an eminent scholar with two postgraduate degrees including a Ph. D in
Islamic Studies from the University of Chicago. He has written numerous books
and papers on the Islamic Faith. From my long association with Dr Zakl I can say
26. In the early 1990's whilst I was visiting Chicago, I visited Dr Zaki. Dr Zaki invited
c which he was then establishing. Dr Zaki explained to me that the objects of the
QLi were the translation and interpretation of the meaning of the Quran for
could understand Islam. The idea was to make Islam understandable to persons
of other faiths in order to try and bridge the gap of knowledge between Islam and
""X " . other faiths. This would be achieved by presenting the meanfng of Islam's Holy
religions. By way of example QLI has published books entitled "the Opening of
the Quran" and "One God The Everlasting Refuge". For the latter title I wrote a
review which appears on the back cover. Copies of the front and back covers of \fi

28. Pursuant to the "Qard Hassan" I transferred the sum of 3820,000 in July 1991.
Dr Zaki and his fellow board members of QLI gave me the details of the
destination account where this sum was to be sent. The transfer of this sum was
carried out with the utmost transparency from my account at Faisal Finance In
" Geneva, Switzerland into the destination bank account In the USA. Falsa!
29. I also agreed to the request of Dr Zaki and his fellow board members of QLI to
Salah who was involved with QLI. They explained that QLI, as a nascent
institution, could not at that time undertake any financial burden resulting from
money, amongst other things, to pay editors, computer operators and other
personnel to work on the Quranic Project and to purchase equipment for this
project. I agreed to the transfer of certain monies to Mohamed Salah for those
purposes.
30. During my visits to QLI to see Dr Zaki and his fellow QLI board members I met
occupied the same building as QLI and I understood that he was involved with
helping QLI, especially Dr Zaki, on the Quran Project. I set out below the money
transfers I mada to Mohamed Salah. Once again these were made from my
PCR1-159363.3 14
003827
account at Faisal Finance in Geneva, Switzerland. Aside from this, I have never
had any link or connection to Mohamed Salah. Also, until I heard about
Mohamed Saiah's arrest, I was not aware, directly or indirectly, of any activity
that Mohamed Salah had outside the sphere of Islamic Charity in the USA. I
made the following transfers to Mohamed Saiah's account at the express request
of Dr Zaki and his fellow board members of QLI exclusively for the purposes of
31. After Mohamed Salah was arrested In Israel in January 1993 Dr Zakl contacted
me expressing the total shock, disbelief and bewilderment of him and his fe(low_
board members of QLI at the news of the arrest. I too was horrified upon hearing
the news. Until then neither I nor so far as I am aware any of the QLI board had
the slightest Idea that Mohamed Salah was engaged In any such alleged terrorist
transfer to Mohamed Saiah's First Chicago account In the sum of $60,000. Once
again, this transfer was expressly requested by Dr Zaki and the QU board
PCR1-159363.3 -jg
003828
32. All these transfers and the $820,000 transfer in July 1991 were made with the
payments supporting Hamas or any other terrorist group would have transferred
them to a person in the USA via the US banking system with such openness and
other terrorist group (which I repeat I never have) there are numerous other ways
that goal could have been achieved mare effectively and secretly.
33. I should add for completeness that, In addition to the above, in 1992, at the
- $300,000 to Dr Zaki for the charitable purposes of QLI and for his own personal
account.
with QLI were never 'structured in a manner that obscured [my] connection to
QLI". I refer to the Mortgage document dated 31 December 1991 (pages 63-67),
associated with me. This Mortgage document relates to the Woodridge, Illinois
any Notice to Midland Federal Savings and Loan Association to be copied to the
QLI.
December 1991 (pages 68 to 70) in which Midland Federal Savings and Loan
PCR1-159363.3 ' 16
003829
Association, as Trustee, promised to pay to the order of Kadi International Corp.
the principal sum of $820,000. This document reflected the "Qard Hassan'. The
Loan Note expressly provided in the first paragraph that no interest shall be
payab/e on the principal amount of $820,000. The Loan Note also expressly
provided (in clause 4, page 69) that any Notices to Midland Federal Savings and
International and QLI Is also clearly apparent from the Guarantee (pages 71-72}
Midland Federal Savings and Loan Association under the terms of the Loan
Note.
37. Thus, contrary to the allegations in the US Treasury Department's fax, the
connection between QLI and Kadi International Corp. Is plainly apparent on the
face of the documents. 1 believe all these documents were prepared by QLfs
legal representatives and J took It for granted that they would deal with all
and registration.
38. Thus, far from "obscuring" [my] connection to QLI, the transaction was structured
openly and transparently, making clear the relationship between the parties and
O PCR1-159363.3 -J7
003830
39. HM Treasury rely on an Affidavit of Mr Robert Wright dated 9 June 1998 in
forfeiture proceedings in US v One 1997 E;35 Ford Van et al, US District Court,
Northern District. !llinols98 C 3548. I will refer to this as the "Robert Wright
the Robert Wright Affidavit. Mr Wright criticises the fact that the Mortgage
document was not executed until some months after the loan was made. As a
general point I would state that transactions and dealings that would, in the West,
Arab parties with a minimum amount of paperwork, particularly where, as was the
case here, the parties are well-known to each other, the whole arrangement is
based on trust and for relfgious charitable purposes. There is nothing mysterious
of business practice. From the outset the "Qard Hassan* or loan of $620,000
was made on the basis of trust and good faith between me and Dr Zaki for the
charitable purposes of the QLI which I believed, and still believe, to be a noble
project. There was therefore nothing unusual about my advancing the $820,000
40. in 1994, the Woodridge property was sold generating a profit for QLI. Shortly
after this Dr Zak! asked me to turn my charitable loan (the "Qard Hassan") into
what is known in Arabic as a "Waqf" which is another Islamic concept, the closest
was to be used for the purchase of premises for QLI. I verbally agreed to this.
41. According to the Robert Wright Affidavit, for the next 4 years, the proceeds of
PCR1-159363.3 -\Q
003831
bearing account of QLI. This is hardly consistent with the notion that the funds
QLI had tax exempt status, it was subject to increased scrutiny and detaited
disclosure requirements under Federal and State law in the United States. In
view of this, the proceeds of sale, held for 4 years in QLI's account, would hardly
be suitable for financing terrorism. During this 4 year period, QLI were engaged
in finding suitable premises. Indeed, they had found suitable premises, which
they were preparing to purchase, at the time the forfeiture proceedings started In
N
1998.
42. In 1998. I was told by Dr Zaki of the forfeiture action taken in respect of the
assets of QLI. Without waiving privilege, I obtained advice from Jones, Day,
Reavis & Pogue, a prominent US law firm, on the situation. It must be noted that
understand the case docket for the forfeiture proceedings has no record of the
forfeiture proceedings. I now regret that at the time I did not take any steps to
especially that ] did not challenge at the time the false assertions made in the

Treasury Department followed by HM Treasury in the UK have apparently based
director of Mercy International, an allegation which had they made the most basic
of inquiries before publishing their list they would have found to be false. The
statement regarding the relationship between someone called Omar Al-Qadi and
allegations, which are even more vague and subjective, should equally be
53. Finally, as a loyal Saudi citizen, and a devout Muslim, any act of support of bin
faith. This is because bin Laden's acts were very harmful and damaging to my
country and the Saudi people long before the 11 September 2001, let alone after
that date. In this regard I am pleased to note, and with gratitude, that the Saudi
Saudi media on 1 October 2001 (see pages 161 to 162) where the Saudi Interior
Minister, His Royal Highness Prince Naief Bin Abdul Aziz declared;
"This ffassin Kadi] is one of the citizens of Saudi Arabia who has suffered
injustice. The man has spoken for himself and he will pursue his rights

Dear Sir Aiasdair Pop
Guy Ms
NiQcl
Mr Yassin Kadi Charfotrn Wat
Ruth Cot
Cameron D(
We have been consulted by Mr Yassin Kadi, the prominent Saudi Arabian Claim
businessman, with reference to the release issued by H M Treasury dated 12
October 2001 headed "H M TREASURY TAKES STEPS TO FREEZE MORE
TERRORIST ASSETS ".
Consults
Martin Sr
Our client is horrified and shocked that his name has been included on this list
and at your allegation that he supports or is in any way connected with terrorism. PaulWhei
Your allegations are completely untrue: Mr Kadi has never been involved with,
supported or provided funds for any terrorist or extremist activities. Pirtimnhlp 5»cr»t
Mchaal Cm**
The allegations that Mr Kadi funds and/or supports Osama Bin Laden, or any
terrorist organisation, are of the utmost gravity and seriousness. It Is difficult to A J I O C I I U Fl
Bannatyrm Kkkwood Franca &
conceive at the present time of a more seriously defamatory allegation to make. EncfranQS H «
It is quite conceivable that as a result of your publication at the present time, Mr 16 Royal Exchange Squi
Kadi could be subject to death threats, his ability to travel and conduct his GlugowGi 3.
Furthermore, had your department taken the trouble to make even the most
cursory of inquiries it would have discovered that we acted for Mr Kadi, and his
fellow Trustees of the Muwafag Foundation, in libel proceedings in the High Court
against the Editor and publishers of Africa Confidential; and upon settlement of
Ihose proceedings, less than 4 months ago, on 22 June 2001, a Statement in
PCRU156524.1

003847
Page 2
Our Ref: GM/MRS'7496.3
Open Court, was read out before the Honourable Mr Justice Eady in which Africa Confidential
apologised to our clients for allegations they had published in 1995. That settlement was
announced in a press release on 22 June 2001. A copy of the Statement in Open Court is
enclosed.
We assume, but must insist on your confirmation of this, that as a responsible Government
department HM Treasury will have seen and examined any available evidence of alleged links
between our client and terrorism and that in publishing these allegations you did not simply act on
the "say so" of the United States authorities. In any event our client requires immediate sight of
whatever information or evidence you acted on before publishing the list.
For the avoidance of doubt our client is more than willing to make himself and his business records
available to the appropriate authorities towards having his name removed from the list and clearing
his good name of your allegations.
The purpose of our writing to you now is to place you specifically on notice as to the matters set
out above. We also require your immediate undertaking that pending a proper investigation into
this matter by your department or other appropriate authority you will forthwith remove our client's
name from the list.
Our client is determined to pursue all legal remedies available to him to protect his good name and
reputation. Jn light of your failure to make any proper inquiries we have advised our client that any
further publication of these allegations by you will be with malice towards our client.
We await hearing from you as a matter of extreme urgency and in any event by close of business
this Wednesday 17 October. In the meantime it must be clearly understood that all our client's legal
rights are fully reserved.
Yours faithfully

Dear Sirs
I refer to my tetter of 17 October and now write In substantive response to your letter to Sir
Andrew Tumbull of 15 October 2001.
¥
Your client has with others been made the subject of measures designed to prevent his use
of any assets he has In. this Jurisdiction on the basis of intelligence information provided to
my clients by the US Treasury that he has been Involved in funding terrorism. My client's
Press Release was designed to give the widest possible publicity to these measures with a
view to maximising their effectiveness. Your client was simultaneously publicly Identified by
the US Treasury as subject to like measures In the USA for like reasons.
Your suggestion that those sucti as your client who are subject to these measures shoufci be
givan advance notice of them would of course defeat the object of the measures by enabling
the removal of any assets from the Jurisdiction before the measures took effect
The fact that the Newsletter 'Africa Confidential' decided to settle your client's dalm for libel
does not amount to evidence that your client Is not Involved In supporting terrorism.
The US Treasury provided Its Intelligence Information to my client In confidence and has
confirmed to my client that my dlent Is not authorised to provide it to your client
003849
ioi
It is understood that your client has made similar representations to'thB US authorities by his
US representatives. The US Treasury have apparently drawn your client's representatives'
attention to a procedure which enables those subject to such financial measures in the US to
make representations to the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the US Treasury with a view
to having the measures terminated. My client suggests that your client should follow that
procedure and, fn the event that the US Treasury accepted your client's representations and
terminated Its measures, ft Is very likely that my client would take action to terminate the
measures imposed in relation to your client in this jurisdiction.
I can accordingly confirm that my client will not terminate the measures taken against your
client at this time but is very likely to do so if your client successfully pursues the procedure
avallab/e to him In the USA to which I refer above.
As you appear to anticipate, any claim for libel by your client against mine will be defended
on the ground that In present circumstances the publication was and remains privileged.
Yours Faithfully
Peter Bennett

Secretary of State Madeleine Albright is expected to raise the issue with Prince
Sultan, the Saudi defense minister, during his visit to Washington next week. Saudi
Arabia, the main U.S. ally in the Persian Gulf, has pledged to fight terrorism.
The money was deposited into the accounts of Islamic charities, including Islamic
Relief and Blessed Relief, that serve as fronts for bin Laden.
The businessmen, who are worth more than $5 billion, are paying bin Laden
"protection money" to stave off attacks on their businesses in Saudi Arabia,
intelligence officials said. Bin Laden, whose family runs the largest Saudi
construction firm, has called for the overthrow of the Saudi government.

The money transfers were discovered in April after the royal family ordered an audit
of NCB and its founder and former chairman, Khalidbin Mahfouz, U.S. officials
say. Mahfouz is now under "house arrest" at a military hospital in the Saudi city of
Taif, intelligence officials said.
His successor, Mohammad Hussein al-Amoudi, also heads the Capitol Trust Bank in
New York and London, which U.S. and British officials are investigating for
allegedly transferring money to bin Laden. Amoudi's Washington lawyer, Vernon
Jordan, could not be reached for comment.
Mahfouz's son, Abdul Rahman Mahfouz, is on the board of Blessed Relief in Sudan.
Suspects in the Mubarak attack are linked to the charity.
Bin Laden faces U.S. criminal charges for allegedly masterminding the 1998
bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania that killed 224 people. Bin
Laden, who is in Afghanistan, denies the charges.
Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar bin Sultan declined to comment on the reports.

This month the Treasury Department froze Kadi's assets, along with those

evidence, EL'U.S. government official cites a 1998 Saudi "bank audit that
allegedly shows Kadi's Blessed Relief charity tunneled S3 snlUan to bin

Kadi has arid he "will take legal action to strike his name from the
Treasury Hat, hut he had not done so by Friday. In a Letter to British
treasury officials, Kadi's lawyers demanded proof of hia links to terrorism
after his sccmrazs were frozen there.

Unlike thai of any other person on. the Treasury Department list, an earlier
part of Kadi's story spilled from classified reports into the public record of
a 1998 federal lawsuit
. But in a 199,8 affidavit, the FBI alleges thai Kadi's money was laundered
through a DuPagc County real estate deal to yield 5107,000 that went to a
small band of U.S.-based Hamas activists.

The map wno allegedly distributed die Hamas money in the West Bank
was Muhammad Salah, a Jerusalem-born used-car deaLer and grocery

Terrorist strikes from 1990 to 1994.

From a pool of Palestinian applicants, Salah wrote, he culled 27 promising
fighters and sorted, them according io their expertise in chemical materials,
toxins, physics, military education and knowledga of computers. Dropouts
and misfits reduced his cadre to two mm.

to discern from the FBI affidavit and other court files. The real estate deal
was marked by subterfuge and misleadingrecords—nopublic documenia

General
The Company is engaged in diamond exploration and mining. We have acquired two mining properties
(the Grnsdrif Deposit and the Cacrwirtning Depo»it)j and own »n option to purchase a third mining property (the
Montrosc Kimberlitc Pipe), »fi of which are located in the Republic of South Africa.
Background
ft j
Diamond ia the name attributed to a chemically inert mincrai. which normally occurs as crysiiib formed
when tne element carbon ia sufafectod to extraordinary Ix-sl gnd pressnro. Diamond is believed to have been formed
at a depth of 2fXMO0lan below the surfeca of the carts'and is then transpaied to the earth's surface by the upward
movement of motics rock. Themdtcn rock solidifies as semi-cireul«a" (pipes) or linear bodies (fissures). The
solidified rode is known as JcimberJrte. Pipes and fissures are eroded over time, and the diamonds thus released
from soch formations arc transported and are eventually deposited in undent car existing riverbeds and on beaches.
In these deposits, the diamonds are typically nssodaitd vrilh the coarser (gravel) fraction of the sediments, which
are collectively known as alluviaj deposits. The pnrrfa -oferosion grind* and crushes the poorer quality diamonds
thereby en hanting greatly the average quality of the diamonds eventually deposited.
EHascoad txplorniioa
Diamond expkiratiejn typically begins with acrid photography, surface sampling and magnetic .surveys for
purposes of locating- indicator minerals or geophysics] anomalies, which may indicate the presence of kimberlite or
an alluvial deposit. In the event a pipe ia located, follow-up sampling is conducted to determine if it is
003933
cj^
disrnondiferous. If the pipe is determined lo be drarnondifcrota, bafk sampling is then conducted lo evaluate the
value of the diamonds present and the grade of the prospect and thereby establishing proven or probab/e reserves.
The expiorarion and evaluation of an alluvial diamond deposit is similar to that of Icimbcrlite but typically
more complex and leas conclusive because of what Js termed the "nuggei-effefct" which' pertains to the scarce and
irregular distriburioo of diamonds in.the gravel. Drilling can only determine (he Ihrcc-dlmensionaf extent of the
gravd while butk sampling is of necessity substantially more complex than for kimberlitc
Diamond mining
Kimbcrlitc pipes are ruined through a combination of trpeos pit excavation snd underground mining. The
raining of a kimbcriite pipe typically commences vrith an open pit mine to a shallow depth, generally 30 metcrx
Initially, a mining zone is designed and then bulHccffira are used to remove the tcpsoH, which a set aside for
rccIamntioD- Hydraulic excavators arc then employed to otcavale «n open pit. As the mining operations expand,
digging benches fntb the pit wall enlarges the open pit. Since kinbcrlite pipes are relatively confined bodies, it
becomes impractical at s certain depth, approximately JO to 100 meters, to continue mining operations through
open pit excavaticn. At this point,'shafts «re sunk sway from and parallel to the ore body, and from these shafts,
adits to the ore body are developed at varioaa levcJs. The lutnberliie ore a hoisted to the surface and hauled to a
recovery plant by truefca, '^i
AJIuvfal deposits are mined by open cast methods generally known a strip raining. Removing any
overburden present exposes the £ravrt. The gravel is then removed by hydraulic excavator, loaded onto trucks and
trfflnspcrred t o the recovery plant wicre it is then screened to remove ill particles larger than 25mm. Tfi« larger
fractioa is discarded while the smaller fraction is then processed by gravity separation (rotary pans) or centrifugal
separation (DMS) to recover the particles with a relative density of larger than 2.9 as concentrate.
HecoTery . ' •
Each recovery plant consists of screens and associated separators thai employ water, agitation, gravity and
centrifugal force u s primary method to separate ihcheavier dfamondiffcrous concentrate from the lighter tailings.
The two methods employwj are rotary pans and dense media, separation (DMS). Both methods sre well
tried, the only difference being that pans ire mud}- cheaper to construct and operate, however a DMS can be
menftored electronkaliy. - ,"
Electronic sorting machines conduct final recovery frwn the concentrate- These machines utilize the
lutn incsceni properties, of diamond when it b irradiaigd with X-rays. Pboto multiplier tubes sense the luminescence
and activate a trap door, which diverts the diamond to a safe boat. This concentrate is then finally sorted by hand.
.£.--•' Marketiag
The Company sells its diamonds directly to private diamond dealers and manu&cnirers through a tender
system. There are no formal rules by which the prices of dlamaods i r e determined. Sale prices are set by the
diamonds' color, clarity, cut and weight which- die prospecdvB buyer expects to obtain through the polishing
process, and the evaluation process is generally subjective. We expect thai thesaJea of diamonds will be transacted
in U.S. dollars on a cash basis.

Glossary
Set forth below are definitions of certain mining and geological terms used in this report.
Alluvial Deposit A mass of gravel, sand or similar material resulting from, the crumbling
and erosion of solid r e d o . In the sense that it Is used hem, it also implied
an asociatitti. with precious minenis such as diamond. A deposit of
alluvium (deposits made by water) is made by a stream where it nan exit
onto a level plain or meets a slower stream.
i\ j Bulk Sampling Acquiring a forge (often several thousand tens} sample of rock obtained by
mining, excavation, digging or drilling large diameter hales. Balk
sampling is-.necessary to determine the grade and value of diamonds
contained in a deposit.
Carat A uniJ of weight used fix- precious stones equal to 200 milligrams Or 0.2
grams.
Concentrate That fraction of the processed ore which contains aJ) or the largest portion
of the economic mineral to be recovered. In the case of alluvial deposits,
approximately 0.5-1.5% of the ore reports as concenirate from the primary
recovery process. Of tha a further Q.l-Oy/i reports as concentrate from the
electronic sorters.

Property Rights. The Company holds a prospecting permit far the Grasdrif Deposit through its wnollv-
owncd subsidiary company, Nabas. The prospecting permit expires on August 4,2003. We will apply fa*a mining
permit when the level of activities warrant such an application, fa terras of the prospecting permit, we are required
to pay to the government a surface rental amounting to R5,20fl ($652 as of March 22, 2001). This amount vras
increased to R10.400 per year, beginning in 2001. Additionally, in agreement was reached in August 2000,
whereby the Company has agreed to pay the Namaqualand District Council a minimum of R50,000 (56,274 is of
March 22, 2001) per year, considered a usage Tee. We are in the process af delineating ore reserves on these
extensive deposits with the view of applying fbr * mining permit in the near future.
Geography. The Grasdrif deposit is an alluvial diamond deposit located on the inner bank of ihc Orange
Rivw in the Northenj Cope Province.
Geology. The Grasdrif Deposit is an alluvfst.gravel deposit situated on a bedrock of shale and greywackc
of the Dwyka formation. The gravels of the GrasdrifDcpcsit have been preserved at three distinct elevations, all of
wfeich seem to have been deposited on the inner bank of the paleo- and present Orange River. The upper terrace
_,••. (elevation 215 meters above sea level) appears to have been deposited as a. point bar of a channel incising in »
V!']1-.-' westerly directicu, while aJl other terraces are associated with t gradual eastward migration of the channels
towards its present position.
JUnrves. Based upon the following, we estimate that the Grasdrif deposit contains approximately SO
million tonnes of duunondiferotci gravel:
a the results derived from a 10,000 meter drilling program completed by the CompBoy in 1997,
H ongoing second phase drilling and bulk sampling, and
is the results of previous exploration programs on the property conducted during die early 1980's.
Mtning Activities. We have completed site establishment at Grasdrifj including roads, power, housing
and water reticulation, erection of a primary end final recovery plant on the tower terrace, and a primary recovery
plant OH the upper terrace. Bulk sampling operations on the lower terrace commenced during the last quarter of
1998 and trial mining oo the upper terrace during the last quarter of 1999.
See "Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operations" fbr a discussion of (he results
of operations and capital requirements of the Grasdrif Deposit.
,£? . Property Rights. The Company has acquired the exclusive rights to conduct mining operations M.
irj v --' Caxwinning, a 2 ^ 3 3 hectare alluvial deposit located in the Northern Cape Province of the Republic of South
Africa. Pursuant to the mineral lease, wa have an initiaJ 10-year right to mine at the Csisrwinning deposit,
expiring March 3 1 , 2008 (with a 10 yew renews] option). In terms of the mineral lease, we arc required to pay KJ
&e government a 5 % royalty of the grow selling price of the monthly production from lhe deposit, with a
minimum payment of R65.000 per year, (58,156 as of March 22^2001), sad ID be increased by R5.000 per year.
Geography, The Caervrinning Deposit is an alluvial gravel deposit situated in the Griqualand area of the
Northern Cape province,- approximately 7t] kilometers wes* of Kimbcrley. ft borders to lhe cast along the Vaal
River, approximately 2 0 WJomeJera. downstream of*the confluence of the VBBI and Hart Riven. Access to the
dsrvnnniag property is available by way of public-paved and gravel rosda. The property b serviced by the state
electric utility.
Geaiogy. The gravd of the Caerwinning deposit is underlain by qusrfcdte and sfule of the Scntakftsdrift
formation of the Transvaal Sequence, as well u ourbeniferoua shale and tfllite of die Ehvyfcs Formation of the
KJTOO Sequence. Rock types of both sequences found on the deposit are horizontally or near horizontally bedded,
and are net cojitjucivo ta pothole formation. Outcrops of rocks of the Tranavaai Sequence occur along the western
mid southern boundaries of the deposit. Rode typo belonging to the Dwyfca formation do not outcrop and were
- only found ax drill holes and excavations. The gravd occurs in three distinct terraces, of which the oldest {a..
003937
located the furthest from the present riverbed. The terraces are named Tl, T2 and T3 with Tl bemg ihe oldest.
Secondary calcification is extensive in ihc oldest terracar but negligible in the later nnd recent deposits. The grave/
of both terraces mainly consist of cobble and pebble sized clasts in a jandy matrix. Boulder sized particles are
extremely rare except where local•tributBrics have introduced-lwge, slightly angular boulders into the mainstream
deposits.
Reserves. We have completed a drilling program covering the entire Tl terrace cast of the msin road and
T2 terraces. The results af this drilling program indicate that theTI terrace contains 2 1 J million icmnes of grave)
and the area drilled, on the T2 terrace contains 1.2 million tonnes of dismoudifcrous gravel. During 1999, a
drilling program was conducted on the Tl terrace to (he. west of the main road. The results of this program still
need to be interpreted iurther but preliminary indications are that the Tl gravel extends into this area. Prior to
incorporation of tho Company, Mr. Pieicr Van Wyfc, currenlJy the Director of Mining and Exploration of the
Company, worked this deposit in his private capacity and extracted 3,685 carats from 344,400 tonnes of OTE for an
average grade of 1.07 carats per hundred tonnes between 1989 and 1994. Diamonds thus produced were sold jbr
an average price of 5458 per carat.
Mining Plan. We commenced production Bt the T2 terrace at Caenvinntng when we'commissioned the
primary and final recovery plant on site in the las* quarter of J998. We commissioned in additional diamond
recovery plant during die last quarter of 1999- The combined capacity of the recovery plants now amounts to 240
tonnes per hour.
Sec "Item fi. Management's Discussion and* Analysis or Plan of Operations" for a discussion of the results
of operations and capita.! requirements of the Cacrwnnirtg Deposit.
Property Rights. The Company has the exclusive prospecting righla and an option to purchase s farm in
the Gauteng Province in the Republic of South Africa, which includes a mining prospect known as the Montrosc
ND. 3 (referred to herein as die "Mootrose Pipe"). Pursuant to a Notarial Prospecting Contract between Maria
Anna Gobey and our wholly-owned subsidiary, GDR-SA, WB have extended die exclusive rights to prospect on the
property until October 10, 2001 in consideration of a payment of R60.000 (SS.268 af September 20, 2000 ) and
10% of ifio value of d l diamonds recovered by us during the prospecting period. We also have the exclusive
option until October 10. 2001 to purchase the farm for a purchase price of Stf 00,000. We are in the process of
applying for an exitnsion of the prospecting permit, which includes the preparation of an Environmental
Management Program Report (EMPR) for the submission to the local government. Upon acceptance of tho report,
the prospecting permit will bo Issued.
Gsography. The Monirose Pipe lies 500 rijcters north of Rayton and 30 km east of Preterit in the
Gsulcng Province. Tho area forms part of the temperate eastern plateau and has an average elevation of 1,500
meters, with warm summers and cool winters. Annual rain&il during the summer month* averages 7S5
millimeters and year round 'mining is undertaken ha the vicinity. Tho region is accessible by the N4 Freeway and
the Transnct Railway. Ingress to and egress from the Montrtae property is availaHc by my of public paved and
gravel roads. The property a serviced by the state deefcric utility and wafer for raining purposes is available from
the Bronkhorstspruit Dsm, 20 kilometers to the east

Competition
The diamond mining industry is intensely competitive. The principal areas of competition arc the
exploration and acquisition of mineral properties. A large number of companies arc engaged in tJic exploration and
development of diamond properties, many of which have substantially greater technical and financial resources
than the Company. Competition among the members of the diamond mining industry also affect the marketing of
the diamonds produced by the members, in eluding,the price of cut and uncut diamonds.
Regulation
The Company's mining and prospecting operations in the Republic of South Africa and elsewhere arc
subject to various government regulations governing the protection of the environment, prospecting, production,
labor standards and mine safety. Failure to campty with applicable laws and regulations may result m operations to
cesso or to be curtailed, require further expenditures or possibly the loss of mining rights. Existing and future
legislation and regulations could aUo cause restrictions and delays in the development of our properties and
additional expense and capital expenditures. We believe we are in subsiantiaJ compliance with all taws and
{ y regulations.
Our mining operations are also subject to governmental regulations regarding environmental
considerations, including regutatioos relating, to aiTjjuality standards, pollution of stream and fresh water sources
and rehabilitation. We cnay be required to prepare and present to governmental authorities data pertaining to the
effect or impact that any proposed exploration or"mining may have upon the environment- As well, we vril! be
responsible for rehabilitation coats. We currently engage in ongoing rehabilitation as well as provide funds, on an
annual basis, for final mine closure rehabilitation. Rehabilitation requirements may vary depending on ihe
location and the nature of the mining operation*. However, they aim to restoro me pre-tnlning landlbnns and
vegetation and control possible deleterious effluents. We do not consider the existing environmental regulations in
the Republic of South Africa to represent a material cost or burden on our proposed raining operations. However,
new environmental legislation has been tabled, and other legislation has been passed which places significantly
more emphasis on Ihe protection of the environment and, as a consequence, more closdy regulates our mining
operations. Such legislation, together with legislation which may be tabled. Tn future, as well as future
interpretation of existing laws, may require substantial increases in equipment and operating costs, and may cause
delays, interruptions or a termination of operalioni, the extent of which, at present, cannot be predicted with
certainty.
Mining rights in the Republic of South Africa are gorverned by the Minerals Act No. 50 of 1991. Pursuant
to the Minerals A d , the right to prospect or mino u dealt vrrth in terms of the common law, which entitles the
v. I holder of the right to prospect for and mine die minerals concerned. This common law right is, however, made
subject to the provisions of the Minerals Act, which state that no common law right to prospect or mine minerals
may be exercised unless the prescribed statutory authorization has been obtained ki Ihe form oft pennrt to prospect
or an authorization to mine. A prerequisite for Ihs granting of tho aiithornatios that the applicant tnusj be the
n
hoidcr of thecottunon taw right to the minerals.
Pursuant to cessions from the holders of the common law mineral rights, we have obtained government
authorization to prospect the Grasdrlf Deposit and mine (he Cserwinnmg Deposit. We have applied for the
necessary authorization to bulk sample the Monlroec KfmberlFte pipe. We believe we will be granted the necessary
authorization to mine the Qrasdrif Deposit and the Montrosc Kimbcrlite Pipe when required.

Background
The Company is engaged in diamond exploration and mining. The Company has acquired the rights to
two mining properties, the Grssdrif Deposit and thfi^Caerwinning Deposit, and owns *n option to purchase a third
mining property, the Montrose fcimberlhe pipe, all pKwhicfi are located in the Republic of South Africa.
To dale, our activities have included the investigation and acquisition of mining property interests,
exploratory work, site establishment and the purchase end operation of mining plant and equipment in the process
of dervelopmcnt as Weil as full-scale mining operations at its properties.
Caermmjfag
The Company's principal mining activities arc conducted at its Caerwinning property. The following
chart details production information for the three years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998:
Norwrtfastacnding sn operating profit of $411,177 for the first nine months of 2000 operations at
Caerwinning resulted m an operating loss of 5432^78 for tha year. In the third quarter of 2000 a calcified
conglomerate was discovered, necessitating the need to add crushers to process the gravel During this time, we
were forced to mine in an area when; the overburden ratio was quite high, resulting in increased production costs
in the fourth quarter. This, coupled with • much lower average value per carat obtained hi this area, caused ihe
losses of the fourth quarter. During the first quarter of 2001, the crushers were fully operational,, thereby allowing
us to process the gravel expedsttously and work in ireas with a lower overburden ratio. The result was an
operating profit for the first two months of 2001. . .
During the quarter ended S«ptonbor 30, 2008 the Company's consulting geologists completed the ground
magnetic survey of the two geomagnetic anomalies on the Caer*rnning property. The survey indicates rwo large
geomagnetic anomalies, both which warrant drilling, and are otpected to be completed in 200 U

Development and triaJ m ID ing activities continued at the Grasdrif Deposit during the year ended
December 31 2000. The fbflcNring chart details the acplaratiob and trial mining taffannaiioa far both the upper and
lower terraces for the three years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998:

During 2000 we applied for a permit to conduct a 5,000 tonne bulk sample widi the purpose of
deterraming the actual grade of lhc. deposit snd the value per carat of the diamonds. This information b required
to complete a feasibility study on the production potential of the Montrose Pipe. The authorities ipproved the
Environmental Management Program Report (EMPR) for the buile simple during the first quarter of 2001. The
prospecting rights as Well as the option to acquire uhyn-operty were extended to October 2001 to allow for (he
completion of the bulk sample.
Financial Results
Cnrreaey ConsiderstfcHi
Our mining properties, mining properties under development, and mining equipment are all situated in
the Republic af South Africa, where die currency is-the Rand. Under current accounting pronotmcemcots, (he
Company is required to translate die period end assets and liabilities of its South African subsidiary at the current
exchange rate, while maintaining, equity accounts nt the exchange rate in place at die time of the origins)
transaction. The resulting changes in the balance sheet accounts due to exchange r&lc fluctuation muit be
accumulated and accounted for in the equity section as foreign currency translation reserve. The translation of wr
property mi equipment to reflect die Rand/USS exchange rate of $7364 and WJZ485 at December 31,2000 and
1999, respectively, caused moat of the fbrrign currency trsruEsiioo adjustment of S L.090,625 for 2000 and
S350.803 for 1999. This resulted in accumulated foreign currency translation sdjustmentt-of 52,276,409 and
S!,185,754 « December 31, 2000 ind [999 respeectively.
During the first quarter of 2001 management reviewed operations in depth and a program of cost cutting
and a focus on production was implemented. Operations at Caerwinning returned to an operational profit and the

recovery of a number of large high quality gemstone diamonds at Grasrfrif placed both (he operations at Grzsdrif
and the entire operations of the Company on a profitable basis. These results support our belief that, given the
nature of alluvial deposits, operations on a large scale could be conducted- profitably.
We believe that we require additional working capital of approximately 5500,000 to satisfy our working
capital requirements'forthe next 12 months. Should any of thefollowingevents occur, additional working capital
might be needed during the next 12 months. The events are:
Our belief concerning our working capital requirements ana based on certain asuuniptkjns
concerning; among other thinga, the estimated grade of processed ore. average price per carat, vends of
mining operations, Rand-1/.S. dollar exchange rate, and cost of production, If any of these assumptions
prove Incorrect, ths Company may require further additional capital. Any such additional financing
may recruire an additional pledga or mortgage of the Company's properties and/or any production
therefrom. There is, of comae, no assurance that satisfactory financing could be obtained. In addition to
financing individixtd and available projects, (he Company may also borrow funds from tkne to time for
working capital and other general corporate purposes.
AJ staled in the Auditors1 Report to the accompanying financial statements, thefinancialstatements have
been prepared assuming; the Company will continue as a going cutimu. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial
statements, the Company baa suffered recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability

GLOBAL DIAMOND RESOURCES, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Global Diamond Resources, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the stale of Nevada m January 7,
1987 and commenced significant mining operations in South Africa during 1994'.
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-
owned subsidiaries, GiobaJ Diamond Resources Inc., a Canadian corporation ("Global BC), Global Diamond
Resources International Limited, a British Virgin Islands corporation ("Oiobai BV1"), Global BVI's vmolly-
owned subsidiary. Global Diamond Resources (SA) £Pty) Limited ("Globs! 5A"), a South African corporation
and Global SA's wholly owned subsidiaries, Nates Diamonds (Pty) Limited ("Nates"), a South African
j\ corporation and GDR Drilling CPty). a South Africap corporation. A I! amounts are in U.S. dollars unless
.'.- - otherwise indicated AJI significant in terrain pirry. -balances and transactioni have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Casfa Equivalents
Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments'with an original maturity of three months or Jess.
Tbe Ruanda! position and results of operations of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are measured using
focaj currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries ire translated at the exchange
rale in effect it each year-end. Statement of Operations are translated at the average rate of exchange prevailing
during the year. Translation ndjusfenentt arising frocn differences in exchange rates from period to period arc
. • included in the foreign currency translation adjustmenNiccaunt in stockholders' equity.- '
Inventory
Inventory consists of diamonds ready for sale valued at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable vsJue.
Diamonds ana ready fbr sale when they have been separated from the alluviab or broken ore, have been
processed and arc in a deliverable form, rjo value is ascribed to diamonds m the alluviak or in the broken ore.
_ Also included En inventory is fuel, spare parts and rations of 539,500.
Mining properties and equipment consisting of mineral rights, mining properties under dcvtJopraent,
mining equipment and ofSce equipment (primarily computers) ans recorded at cost Depredation b provided
fbr mineral rights, mining equipment and office equipment using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of 10 years, 3-10 years and 3 years,, respectively, of such assets. Mining properties under
development are depreciated over Jfvo life of tfte -mine using the straight-line method once commerriaJ
production a reached. Value of diamonds recovered from bulk sampling and drilling activities WTJ offset
against mine development costs.
Minted Operatioaa
Initial exploration and evaluation costs are expensed ss-maarred. The decision to develop or mine a
property is based on an assessment of the viability of the property and the availability of financing.
The Company's method of accounting for exploration and related costs on unproven reserves is to expense
all costs, other than acquisition costs, prior to the completion of * definitive feasibility study which establishes
proven and probable reserves.-

. Estimated site restoration .and post closure rehabilitation cosu are- charged against earnings over ihe
expected economic useful life of each mine. Accrued rehabilitation costs arc subject to review by management
on a regular basis and are revised when appropriate for changes in future estimated costs and/or regulatory
requirements. At December 31, 2000, 559,492 of rchabilftalion reserve is included in accrued liabilities.
The Company has elected to adopt the disclosure provisions only of SEAS 123 and continues to measure
compensation cost related lo stock and stock options issued lo employees using the intrinsic method of
accounting prescribed by Accounting Princtplcs Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB25"), "Accounting for Stock lamed
lo Employees.** and related, interpretations. - .
Income Taaes • •
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized for the future tsx consequence attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating losses. Deferred tsx assets
and 1 labilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the yean in which
\j those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and
' —' liabilities ofa change in tax rates b recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, inventory, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
approximate &ir value* due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of the long term
debt approximates fair value because the terms are comparable to the current markei.
Financial instruments thai potentially subjecfrtHc Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash.
The Company's policy is to maintain cash at high credit quality financial institutions to minimize risk, but from
lime to time account balances may exceed FederalIy"insured limits.
Basic EPS ij calculated using income availaWe to common stockholders divided by the weighted avenge
of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is similar to Baste EPS eaccpt that the weighted
average of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of additional common shares (hat
WTjuld. havo been outstanding if the dilutivc potential common shares, such as options, had been kmed. The
treasury stock mcjfaod is used to calculate dilutivc shares which reduces the gross number of dilutiws shares by
the number of shares purchasable from the proceeds of tile options assumed to be exercised. Diluted earnings
pa- sharu is the same as basic earnings par share in both 2000 and 1999 duo lo net losses in both yean.
i
Net loss per share &r 2000 and 1999 is computed based on the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding of 48,064,532 and 45,600,678, respectivdy. Common equivalent shares from stock options
and warrants exduded from the computation because their effect is anti-difutivc for 2000 and 1999 were
12,£22,374 and 10,866,980, respectively.
Uec of Estimates
Management has mndo a number of estimates and assumptions relating to tbo reporting of assets snd
Ifnbifitics and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at Ihe date of (be consolidated Qnsncifll stotcmeab
and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses.to prepsro thesis consolidaled financial statements in

assets. Assets Co be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Long lived assets are reviewed aimuaJly fix impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
Comprehensive Income
The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement requires
that certain items of comprehensive income other than net earnings or loss be reported in the financial
statements. For the two years in the period ended December 31. 2000 and 1999. the Company's comprehensive
income (loss) relates to foreign currency Cnnslatioaadjustmenti.
Segment Reporting
The Company has adopted SFAS N a 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
InfonnEtion," which establishes annual and interim reporting standards far sn enterprise's operating segments
and related disclosures sboui Hs products, service!, geographic areas and major customers. An operating
0 segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages m business activities tram which it may earn
revenues and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the chief
operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources. AJI of (he Company's operations are aggregated
into one reportable segment given the similarities of economic cfaarecteristics between the operations represented
by the various m ines. The Company's administrative headquarters- is located in Southern California.

(2) Going Concern
The*Company believes that ft requires additional working capital of approximately 5500,000 (o satisfy rb
working capital requirementjf for the next 12 montftS. Shoufd either of the following events occur, additional
working capital may be needed during the next 12 months. The cvcnb ore:
1. the Cacrwinning Deposit has negative caih flow front operations;
2. the trial mining on the Upper Terrace at the Grssdrif property results in an operating loss or negative auh
flow. ":
The Company intends to raise additional working capital through diamond safes and private placement of
- common stock as well as using available lines of credit
The Company's belief concerning its working capital requirements are based on certain assumptions
concerning, among other things, the estimated grade of its processed ore, average price per carat, commencement
and scale of mining operations, Rsnd-U.S. dollar exchange rate, and cart of production. If wy of these
assumptions prove incorrect, the Company may require further additional capital Any such additional financing
may require an additional pledge or mortgage of-the Company*! properties and/of any production therefrom.
There is, of course, no assurance thai satisfactory financing, if necessary, could be obtained. In addition to
) financing individual and available projects, the Company may also borrow funds from time to time for wotting
capital and other general corporate purposes.
There a no assurance that the Company will be-able to raise the additional capita] it requires through the
equipment refinancing or otherwise ID the event that'the Company is unable to raise the working capital it needs,
it will focua its efforts aa the profitable activities that Its resources can support at that time:
The financial statements have been prepared assuming tfae Company will continue as a going concern.
The Company has suflerod recurring leases from operations that rab«'substantial doubt about fts ability ta continue
as a going concern. The financwf statements do not include any adjustments that might result fora the outcome aC
ih'a uncertainty.

2*EW US LIST
Please see the attached letter from the US Treasury, notifying us of their intention to
issue at 8.00 Washington time tomorrow (13.00 UK time) a further list of 21
individuals, groups and entities determined by the US to have committed or to pose a
significant risk of committing or providing material support for acts of terrorism.
The Treasury (i.e UK Treasury) requests you, pursuant to UNSCR 1373 and the Order
in Council applying it within the UK adopted yesterday, to issue a Notice/Press
Release requiring banks and financial institutions to freeze any monies held with them
in these names and to report to you on any accounts they have frozen and the amounts
frozen. The Notice should also remind thebanks and financial institutions of their
reporting requirements under the Terrorism Act 2000. In effect, this Notice would be
very similar to the one you are issuing today in respect of the earlier list of 27 people,
except that their funds are frozen under UNSCR 1333. I have spoken with NCIS
who are content for the matter to be handled this way.
This new Notice should not be issued until we have notified you that the US has
actually publicised this list (see the last paragraph of the letter).

ANOTHER US LIST
We have enquired further into this list: 5 out of the 22 are already subject to UN
sanctions under UNSCR 1333 and no further action is necessary in respect of them.
We shall, however, need to add the remaining 17 to the 22 from the earlier list who
are to be subject to freezing orders under UNSCR 1373.
We have also received another letter from the US Treasury (Annex B) giving more
information about the 22 from the earlier list. This may help the banks in identifying
such accounts. You will see from the. covering letter that the US have moved the
release date of this list to 8.00 Washington (13.00 London) on Friday October 12 and
they request that we keep the list confidential until then.

HAMAS is an acronym of the Arabic term for "The Islamic
Resistance Movement."--Harakat al Muqawama al Islamiyya. It is an
independent political organization founded in the Israeli
Occupied Territories in 1987 at the beginning of the Intifada,
the Palestinian-led campaign to resist Israeli political dominion,
over the occupied territories. Organizationally, HAMAS is divided
into two operational branches or bureaus--a political branch and
a military branch. The political branch has among its publicly
stated purposes the establishment of a Palestinian identity and
homeland. To that end, the organization is involved in community
building activities in Israel and abroad. However, acting
through its military branch, which receives instruction and
support from its political branch, HAMAS also has been engaged in
a more than decade-long campaign of subversive and violent
activity--commonly denominated as terrorist activity--undertaken
primarily in Israel, and supported in part by illegal activities
in the United States including, among other thingsr money,
laundering in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956, including some that
are the subject of this affidavit. These terrorist activities,
for which HAMAS has repeatedly and publicly claimed credit, have
as their broadly represented purpose the undermining the Israeli-
Palestinian peace process, and, more generally, of forcing the
State and citizens of Israel to cede physical and political
control and dominion over the lands comprising Israel and the
occupied territories, and replacing the Jewish political
authority over these lands with an Islamic government.

Tamer Al-Rafai has related that he was told by Zaki
Hameed that the checks were not cashed during this period because
QLI was waiting for the conferral of tax-exempt status from the
IRS. In fact, the delayed endorsement of the checks on March 11,
1992, correlates with QLI's attaining status as a 26 U.S.C. §
501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization in March of 1992. Prior to
that time, and including the summer of 1991, QLI did not have tax
exempt atatua. It therefore should have reported the rental
income from the Woodridge property as a non-tax exempt
organization for the 1991 tax year. A review of tax records
indicates that QLI did not report the rental income, or any other
income, for the 1991 tax year as it was required to do.

A review of tax records reveals that for the tax years

its effective receipt of $820,000 internationally transferred
into the United States by Kadi for the purchase of the Woodridge
