          through 1991 to determine whether it was appropriate to include             
          petitioner within the Hibiscus consolidated group.  Hibiscus and            
          petitioner have consistently argued throughout the examination              
          period and in these proceedings that petitioner was properly                
          included in the Hibiscus consolidated group during the years in             
          issue.                                                                      
               Forms 872                                                              
          In February 1992, during the course of the examination,                     
          Revenue Agent Barrett requested that Hibiscus and petitioner                
          execute separate Forms 872, Consent to Extend the Time to Assess            
          Tax, for the taxable year 1988.  However, petitioner's                      
          representatives refused to execute a separate Form 872 out of               
          concern that respondent might attempt to use the document as                
          evidence that petitioner should not be included in the Hibiscus             
          consolidated group.  Instead, Hibiscus' representatives executed            
          a series of Forms 872 that served to extend the period of                   
          assessment for the years in issue to December 31, 1996.  Each of            
          the Forms 872 in question identifies the taxpayer as "Hibiscus              
          Life Insurance Co. and Subsidiary".  The following schedule shows           
          the taxable year, the date executed, and the expiration date for            
          each of the Forms 872 executed on behalf of Hibiscus:                       
                   Year       Date Executed       Expiration Date
