• All findings or argument relying on the testimony of Chung Fan, to the extent Complaint 

Counsel relies on Mr. Fan's testimony to establish that CB&I "has raised prices" (e.g., CC 

Br. at 35), because the Court ruled that Mr. Fan's statistical analysis of CB&I's price was 

not admissible for the truth of the matter asserted. (Tr. at 1012). These findings include: 

CCFF 1053; CCFF 1054; and CCFF 1057-1070). 

Dated: March 7, 2003 Respectfully submitted,
