                                        - 2 -                                         
             Unless stated otherwise, all section references are to                   
             the Internal Revenue Code as in effect for 1989.  After                  
                       concessions, the issues remaining for decision                 
             are:    (1) Whether the fair market value of the capital                 
             stock of Soft Warehouse, Inc. ("SWI"), on June 30, 1989,                 
             was $60.98 per share as petitioners contend, or $1,739.82                
             per share as determined by respondent; and (2) whether                   
             petitioners are liable for the accuracy-related penalty                  
             prescribed by section 6662(a).                                           

             Respondent's Motion in Limine                                            
                  As a preliminary matter, we must decide respondent's                
             motion in limine wherein she asks the Court to overrule                  
             certain evidentiary objections reserved by petitioners in                
             the stipulation of facts.  Petitioners object to the                     
             admission of the following joint exhibits:

                       purpose of approving financing for
