                                       - 49 -                                         
          Accordingly, we find no reason to limit the analysis of a new               
          RIC's useful life to the duration of investments invested in the            
          first 6 months of a RIC's existence.  Furthermore, the evidence             
          fails to reveal any basis for determining an alternate useful               
          life.  Therefore, we find that petitioner has failed to meet its            
          burden of establishing a limited life for the future benefits               
          obtained from the expenditures it incurred during the years in              
          issue.                                                                      

                                                  Decision will be entered            
                                             under Rule 155.
