            however, were made during LTD’s taxable year ended June 30, 1986.                             
                  The total amounts in docket No. 3443-93 on which LTD is

                  For calendar years 1987, 1988, and 1989, the parties                                    
            stipulated as revisions to the statutory notice of liability                                  
            amounts in docket No. 3443-93 on which LTD is potentially liable                              
            for withholding tax.  The parties, however, did not stipulate a                               
            breakdown of the withholding amounts, which is necessary to our                               
            analysis, infra pp. 160-184, relating to LTD’s withholding tax                                
            liability.  We note that a stipulated joint exhibit provides the                              
            breakdown of the withholding amounts, which we set forth herein                               
            and utilize in our analysis, infra pp. 160-184.  We note that the                             
            stipulated joint exhibit provides total amounts subject to                                    
            withholding tax different from the total amounts stipulated by                                
            the parties.

                  The statutory notice of liability included a dividend in the                            
            amount of $500,000 that was subject to withholding tax for                                    
            calendar year 1987.  The parties’ stipulated joint exhibit,                                   
            however, did not include any dividend amount as subject to                                    
            withholding tax for calendar year 1987.                                                       
                  At the commencement of trial, respondent moved to amend the                             
            answers and to conform the pleadings to the proof in docket nos.                              
            3441-93 and 3443-93.  Respondent’s motions included an attempt to                             
            introduce the $500,000 dividend as an amount subject to                                       
                                                                            (continued...)
