               In making its point, petitioner uses the same figures as               
          respondent. Petitioner augments those figures, however, with                
          substantial amounts of minimum gain chargebacks for both 1990 and           
          1991.  First, petitioner contends that if all of IHCL's assets had          
          been liquidated at the end of 1990, the net liquidation proceeds            
          would have been $16,328,755.  This amount is computed as follows:           
                    Assets                                                            
          Cash                                  $7,955,796

          Investment in Pacific Gateway          2,328,218                            
          Investment in Pacific Landmark        (1,358,431)                           
          Liabilities                               (6,193)                           
               Subtotal                            8,958,778                          

          1990 Minimum gain chargeback                                                
          from Pacific Landmark1               7,369,977                              
                                                                                     
          Distributable liquidation                                                   
          proceeds at book value 1/1/91       16,328,755                              
                                                                                     
               1    Petitioner's figures include only minimum gain                    
          chargebacks traceable to the PLH partnership.  Apparently, S.D.             
          Hotels, one of PGL's partners, guaranteed the payment of PGL's              
          obligation to Home Savings.  This guaranty restricted use of PGL's          
          nonrecourse deductions to S.D. Hotels, which bore the economic risk         
          of loss on the property. See sec. 1.704-1T(b)(4)(iv)(h)(2),                 
          Temporary Income Tax Regs., 53 Fed. Reg. 53164 (Dec. 30, 1988).             
               Petitioner then contends that $5,920,614 of the minimum gain           
          chargeback would be used first to eliminate THEI's negative capital         
          account. The balance of the minimum gain chargeback, plus the               
          liquidation proceeds, would then be distributed pursuant to the             
          IHCL Restated Agreement as it was in effect during 1990. Thus,              
          according to petitioner, 85 percent, or $1,231,959, would be
