B. ARGUMENT
Based upon the facts set forth above, it has never been
Worldwide Travel, Inc's position that, in theory, Ms. Fisher was
not ent i tied to commission for certain accounts. As a pract ical
matter, we have disputed entitlement to remuneration based upon the
appl icable accounts as ef fected by the May 3, 1996 terminat ion date
and various items of setoff associated with those accounts for
which Ms. Fisher is arguably ent i t led to commission. These
setoffs, by agreement of the parties were to be deducted prior to
issuance of final payment to Ms. Fisher.
The following is an accounting, calculated from the submitted
financial statements, which describes Ms. Fisher's entitlement:
