               Jill Frisch, Peter J. Graziano, and Maria Stabile, for                 
          respondent.                                                                 
                SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUM FINDINGS OF FACT AND OPINION                  
               WELLS, Judge:  These cases are before us on petitioners'               
          motion pursuant to Rule 1612 for reconsideration of our prior               
          Memorandum Opinion, T.C. Memo. 1996-301 (prior opinion).  In our            
          prior opinion, as to InverWorld, Ltd. (LTD), we held, inter alia,           
          that LTD was engaged in trade or business within the United                 
          States pursuant to section 864(b), that a certain portion of                
          LTD's income was effectively connected with the conduct of such             
          trade or business pursuant to section 864(c), that LTD was liable           
          for corporate income tax pursuant to section 882(a), and that LTD           
          was liable for additions to tax pursuant to sections 6651, 6653,            
          6655, and 6656.  As to InverWorld, Inc. (INC),3 we held, inter              
          alia, that income was to be allocated from LTD to INC pursuant to           



          2    Unless otherwise indicated, all Rule references are to the             
          Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure, and all section                  
          references are to the Internal Revenue Code in effect for the               
          years in issue.                                                             
          3    For INC's taxable years ended June 30, 1987, 1988, and 1989,           
          INC was joined in the consolidated income tax returns filed by              
          InverWorld Holdings, Inc. (Holdings), which was the owner of all            
          of the outstanding stock of INC.  Accordingly, respondent's                 
          income allocations to INC pursuant to sec. 482 affect the income            
          tax liability of Holdings.  For convenience and clarity, we make            
          reference to INC only and include Holdings in such references.
