            3 Supermarket distribution rights and records sold to H�agen-Dazs July 22, 1988.            
                                    ULTIMATE FINDINGS OF FACT                                           
                  1.  The intangible assets embodied in Arnold’s oral                                   
            agreement with Mr. Mattus and personal relationships with the                               
            supermarket owners and managers were never corporate assets of                              
            petitioner.  Until the sale to H�agen-Dazs on July 22, 1988,                                
            Arnold was the sole owner of those assets, whose use he had                                 
            hitherto made available to petitioner.  Accordingly, neither any                            
            transfer of rights in those assets to SIC nor their sale or other                           
            disposition to H�agen-Dazs is attributed to petitioner.                                     
                  2.  The fair market value of the SIC stock distributed by                             
            petitioner to Arnold in redemption of his stock in petitioner was                           
            $141,000.                                                                                   
                  3.  Immediately after the distribution of the stock of SIC
