                                        - 2 -                                         
                       MEMORANDUM FINDINGS OF FACT AND OPINION                        
               HALPERN, Judge:  Respondent determined a deficiency in                 
          Federal estate tax of $1,489,660.  The adjustment giving rise to            
          the deficiency is on account of respondent’s increase in the                
          value of certain shares of stock (and an option to acquire                  
          additional shares of stock) included in the gross estate.                   
          Petitioner has assigned error to that adjustment, and we must               
          decide the value of those shares.                                           
               Unless otherwise noted, all section references are to the              
          Internal Revenue Code as in effect at the time of decedent’s                
          death, and all Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of                
          Practice and Procedure.                                                     
                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Some facts have been stipulated and are so found.  The                 
          stipulation of facts filed by the parties and the accompanying              
          exhibits are incorporated herein by this reference.  Some of                
          respondent's proposed findings of fact have been conceded by                
          petitioner and, accordingly, are so found.1                                 

          1    In part, Rule 151 provides as follows:
