          statements, respectively, and issued unqualified opinions that              
          those respective financial statements presented fairly, in all              
          material respects, the financial position of Consolidated and the           
          results of its operations and cash flows for 1990 and 1991 in               
          conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).            
               For financial reporting purposes, Consolidated calculated              
          its inventories by using LCM and (1) the LIFO method for new                
          parts, labor, and overhead and (2) the FIFO method for customer             
          cores.  For such purposes, Consolidated reflected customer cores            
          in its inventories at the amounts (core supplier amounts) that              
          core suppliers were charging for similar types of core supplier             
          cores.                                                                      
               For tax purposes, in determining its yearend inventories,              
          Consolidated included (1) customer cores in its finished goods              
          inventory at the core supplier amounts and (2) customer cores in            
          its unprocessed cores raw material inventory and its goods in               
          process inventory at scrap value (Consolidated's FIFO-LCM                   
          method).                                                                    
               For purposes of this case, both cores and new parts used by            
          Consolidated to produce remanufactured automobile parts are                 
          treated as raw materials under GAAP and subchapter E, chapter 1,            
          subtitle A of the Code relating to accounting periods and methods           
          of accounting, and they shall be referred to herein as raw                  
          materials.
