                  During each year at issue, petitioner reported on its                                
            Federal income tax returns its net investment income effectively                           
            connected with the conduct of its business within the United                               
            States, computed pursuant to section 842(a), without regard to                             
            the amount of minimum effectively connected net investment income                          
            computed pursuant to section 842(b)(1).  During the years at                               
            issue, petitioner used its NAIC form 1A data to identify to what                           
            extent its net investment income was effectively connected for                             
            purposes of section 842(a).                                                                
                  Upon audit of petitioner's Federal tax returns for the years                         
            1988 through 1990, respondent increased petitioner's income by                             
            the extent petitioner's net investment income computed pursuant                            
            to section 842(b) exceeded its income computed pursuant to                                 
            section 842(a):                                                                            
                  Income Determined             Income Determined       Additional                     
            Year   Under Sec. 842(a)            Under Sec. 842(b)       Income                         
            1988        $18,501,669             $21,282,045             $2,780,376                     
            1990        20,426,754              20,749,629              322,875                        
            Respondent did not include an adjustment based on petitioner's                             
            net investment income for 1989.  All of the "increases in income                           
            tax" for 1988 and 1990 are attributable to the adjustments of                              
            petitioner's taxable income resulting from the application of                              
            section 842(b).
