          Stock Ownership and Redemption                                              
               At the time that petitioner incorporated in 1927, two                  
          brothers owned all of petitioner’s stock.  All of petitioner’s              
          stock has since been owned by the descendants of the two brothers           
          or spouses of the descendants.  The Knight family, consisting of            
          Sam and Jan Knight, David and Gina Gunn, and Jeremy Knight, were            
          the controlling stockholders of petitioner during the years in              
          issue.  During 1995, the Knight family held 51 percent of the               
          total outstanding stock.  The Pedigo family, consisting of Paul             
          Pedigo, David and Sharon Pedigo, and Steve and Susan Pedigo, held           
          47 percent of the total outstanding stock.                                  
               During 1996, the Knight family owned 56 percent and the                
          Pedigo family owned 42 percent of the outstanding stock.  After             
          David Pedigo’s demotion and removal from the board in January               
          1996, the stockholders met on March 26, 1996, to elect a new                
          board.  David Pedigo nominated himself, and his wife, Sharon
