                                       - 13 -                                         

          when the burdens and benefits of ownership of the telephone                 
          systems changed hands, were petitioner, as seller, and the                  
          subsidiary, as buyer.  The third-party customer, who held a                 
          contractual right prior to the sale, was not a party to the sale            
          of the underlying contractual property.  The intermediary                   
          ownership by the third-party customers of a contractual right to            
          receive property in the future is ignored in determining whether            
          an intercompany transaction occurred.                                       
               We have considered all remaining arguments made by                     
          respondent for a result contrary to that expressed herein, and,             
          to the extent not discussed above, they are irrelevant or without           
          merit.  Petitioner’s motion for partial summary judgment will be            
          granted, and respondent’s motion for partial summary judgment               
          will be denied.                                                             
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              
                                                  An appropriate order will           
                                             be issued.
