                                       OPINION                                        

               LARO, Judge:  The Camerons and Broadaways (petitioners)                
          jointly petitioned for redetermination of Federal income tax                
          deficiencies determined by respondent as follows:                           
                                        Year           Deficiency                     
               Broadaways               1989           $18,705.89                     
                                        Year           Deficiency                     
               Camerons                 1989           $45,102.35                     
                                        1990           6,289.11                       
          After concessions by the parties, we must decide two remaining              
          questions that will determine the extent to which petitioners               
          recognized dividend income from a distribution by Cameron                   
          Construction Co. (Company) in 1989:                                         
               (1) Whether Company's contemporaneous estimates of the cost            
          of completing its long-term contracts may be revised                        
          retroactively in computing earnings and profits under the                   
          percentage of completion method.  We hold that they may not.                
               (2)  Whether Company's earnings and profits may be adjusted            
          for taxable years to which its subchapter S election applied.  We           
          hold that they may not.                                                     
                                    Stipulations                                      
               This case was submitted on the basis of a fully stipulated             
          record.  The stipulations of fact and attached exhibits are                 
          incorporated herein by this reference.
