          Commissioner, 391 F.2d 775 (8th Cir. 1968), revg. T.C. Memo.                
          1965-154; Doug-Long, Inc. v. Commissioner, 73 T.C. 71 (1979);               
          sec. 1.535-2(a)(1), Income Tax Regs.  Accordingly, we use the               
          amount of Federal income tax shown on petitioner’s return.                  
               TYE 8/31/90                                                            
               9. See note 1.                                                         
               10. See note 2.                                                        
               11. See note 3.                                                        
               12. See note 4.                                                        
               13. See note 7.                                                        
               14. See note 8.                                                        
               TYE 8/31/91                                                            
               15. Operating expenses should include the amount of                    
          consulting fees paid to Mohney, which petitioner properly                   
          deducted as an ordinary and necessary business expense.                     
               16. No estimated Federal income tax payments were in fact              
          made. Arguably, estimated tax payments should be included in                
          operating expenses even if not actually made, because                       
          petitioner would have expected to comply with the requirement               
          to pay estimated tax in the following taxable year.  For the                
          sake of consistency we include only estimated taxes that                    
          petitioner paid, but this should not distort the results of our             
          analysis.  The unpaid tax seems to have been included in the                
          amount of “current liabilities” stated on Form 1120, Schedule
