GEIGER, DWIGHT L. Associate Judge.
Appellant, a condominium association, filed suit on behalf of its tenant owners. Named as defendants were Parliament House Realty, Inc., alleged to be a dissolved Florida corporation; Louis Bianculli, Bernard Scheinholz, and Arthur Scheinholz, individually and as the last named board of directors of the corporation; and architect Richard C. Reilly. The five count fourth amended complaint contained the following:

(2) Count II: action for specific performance to compel conveyance of personalty by bill of sale.
(3) Count III: action for damages for breach of implied warranty seeking judgment against the corporation which built the condominium and Messrs. Scheinholz, Scheinholz, and Bianculli as trustees of the allegedly dissolved corporation and in their individual capacity.

(5) Count V: action for negligence against the architect who designed and supervised construction of the condominium, Richard C. Reilly.
Counts III, IV and V sought recovery for both the original and secondary purchasers of condominium units.
