                                 MEMORANDUM OPINION

          Year           4975(a)      4975(b)            6651(a)(1)1                  
          1985           $1,711         ---                 $428                      
          1986           2,364          ---                 591                       
          1987           3,084          ---                 771                       
          1988           3,872          ---                 968                       
          1989           4,721          ---                 1,180                     
          1990           5,599     $111,839                 1,400                     

               1In the notice of deficiency, respondent determined the                
          additions to tax as follows:                                                
                                   Additions to Tax                                   
                                        Sec.                                          
                    Year                6651(a)(1)                                    
                    1985                $  813                                        
                    1986           1,123                                              
                    1987                1,403                                         
                    1988                1,529                                         
                    1989                1,581                                         
                    1990                1,539                                         
          Then, in her reply brief, she conceded that the correct additions           
          to tax are as stated in the text.                                           
               The primary issue for decision is whether petitioner engaged           
          in a prohibited transaction so as to be subject to the first-tier           
          excise tax under section 4975(a).  We hold he did not.  Based on            
          our holding, we also hold that petitioner is not subject to the
