                  individual H’s 50-percent stock interest in B for cash                               
                  and real property.  On the previous day, B had borrowed                              
                  from A an amount exceeding the cash consideration and                                
                  representing over 96 percent of the total consideration                              
                  paid to H for his stock.  On the same day as the                                     
                  redemption, A distributed its then 100-percent stock                                 
                  interest in B to Ps in a transaction intended to                                     
                  qualify as a tax-free spinoff under sec. 355(a)(1) and                               
                  (c)(1), I.R.C.                                                                       

                        Held:  Because A’s distribution of the stock of B                              
                  occurred less than 5 years after A acquired control of
