                  On December 19, 1987, the board of directors of FSRC held a                          
            special meeting.  During this meeting, the board discussed the                             
            accountant's advice regarding the liquidation of both FSRC and                             
            DHF.  The minutes state that "Mark Lotts, accountant [for both                             
            FSRC and DHF] advised us to dissolve the corporation to save                               
            taxes".  Petitioner urged the creation of a New York corporation                           
            because of a plan to move business operations to New York.  The                            
            board decided, however, that FSRC would not be liquidated so as                            
            to preserve future legal actions against the Township.  The                                
            minutes state: "It was decided that until the Park and Fairground                          
            business was cleared up and construction was completed in Lake                             
            Placid, we would not dissolve the corporation and reorganize.  At                          
            which time all shares from the park and fairground will be                                 
            transferred to the Lake Placid Corporation."                                               
                  The shareholders and board members of FSRC and DHF held a                            
            special meeting on March 18, 1988.  The minutes state that "The                            
            Corporation's accountants have advised us to disolve [sic] the                             
            corporations, reasoning [sic] being to save money on capital                               
            gains and save on double taxation".  The minutes also state that                           
            "A new corporation would be formed in the State of New York and                            
            the old corporations will be disolved [sic]."                                              
                  On March 28, 1988, petitioner signed several standard                                
            statements prepared by the corporations' accountant referring to                           
            resolutions adopting a plan of complete liquidation and                                    
            dissolution for both FSRC and DHF for attachment to the
