          interest in Dune Lakes, Ltd. (Dune Lakes).2  Another adjustment             
          related to an account receivable due the decedent from Dune                 
          Lakes.  Paragraphs 2 and 4 of the SPA address these adjustments.            
               Paragraph 2 provides:                                                  
                    That the value of the underlying real estate assets of            
               Dune Lakes, Ltd. (adjustment b in the notice of deficiency             
               for the tax year ending April 27, 1987) is determined to               
               be $4,800,000.00 without consideration of any discounts, if            
               applicable.  The amount of any discounts is still in                   
               dispute.                                                               
                    The parties agree that the amount of $671,688.00 shown            
               on the books of Dune Lakes, Ltd. for the year ending                   
               December 31, 1987, as loans from stockholders will be                  
               disregarded for purposes of valuing the stock and assets of            
               Dune Lakes, Ltd.                                                       

               Paragraph 4 provides:                                                  
                    That of the adjustment of $83,961.00 for Schedule C -             
               Mortgages, Notes and Cash (adjustment c in the notice of               
               deficiency for the tax year ending April 27, 1987),                    
               Respondent concedes $164,436.00 of the adjustment - Item               
               27(a) Dune Lakes Limited, and $1,743.00 of the adjustment -            
               Item 27(a) “Open book account”.  Petitioners make no                   
               concessions.  There is no amount left in dispute.                      

               The parties’ memoranda in support of their respective Rule             
          155 computations incorporate the SPA and the issues decided by              
          the Court in T.C. Memo. 1994-539.  However, the parties failed to           
          agree as to how two of the issues, agreed to in the SPA, were to            
          be reflected in the calculations of petitioner’s estate tax                 
          liability for the years at issue.  The parties, therefore, filed            

               2    The valuation of Dune Lakes was at issue and was                  
          addressed in our prior memorandum opinion.  Accordingly, for                
          factual background relating to the corporation see T.C. Memo.               
          1994-539.
