                                                - 210 -                                                   
            behalf of LTD, (7) INC's Operations Department researched and                                 
            chose investment vehicles for the omnibus IFF and MMA funds, and                              
            (8) INC's personnel tracked exchange rates for the currency                                   
            futures and brokerage services LTD offered.                                                   
                  Respondent contends that LTD's service agreements with its                              
            clients (the discretionary authorizations) were, for the most                                 
            part, independent transactions between unrelated parties.                                     
            Respondent argues that, because INC performed all of its services                             
            on behalf of LTD, the revenues of LTD are the best indicators of                              
            what INC's arm's length charges to LTD should have been, which is                             
            the reason respondent allocated all of the remaining net revenues                             
            earned by LTD to INC.  Accordingly, respondent argues that the                                
            arm's length charge for investment management services INC                                    
            provided to LTD was the net amount of revenues LTD derived in                                 
            servicing its clients.  Accordingly, respondent argues that                                   
            allocations should be made to INC pursuant to section 482 as                                  
            follows:

                  Year               Revenues from LTD       Allocations

                  1986                     945,000                  960,206                               
                  1987               1,281,000                      916,865                               
                  1988         1,440,000                            1,027,586                             
                  1989         1,830,000                            4,217,333                             
            Finally, respondent contends that LTD is not entitled to the                                  
            deduction correlating to respondent's section 482 allocation to                               
            INC.
