                                        - 67 -                                        
          56(a) is then applied to the excess of each member's separate               
          items of tax preference over the amount, if any, determined under           
          the 1502-33(d) allocation.  Each member's resulting minimum tax,            
          if any, is then aggregated to derive the UBC affiliated group's             
          corporate minimum tax.                                                      
               Under petitioner's method, the aggregate of the members'               
          separate regular tax deductions, which will be utilized by the UBC          
          affiliated group to reduce items of tax preference subject to the           
          15-percent minimum tax, will not equal the consolidated regular             
          tax liability of the group.  That lack of equivalence is a result           
          of the following:  (1) Loss companies are not allocated any                 
          portion of the consolidated regular tax liability, which results            

          (...continued)                                                              
          Sec. 1.1502-33(d)(2)(ii), Income Tax Regs., provides:                       
                    (ii)(a) The tax liability of the group, as                        
               determined under paragraph (b)(1) of �1.1552-1, shall                  
               be allocated to the members in accordance with                         
               paragraph (a)(1), (2) or (3) of �1.1552-1, whichever is                
               applicable;                                                            
                    (b) An additional amount shall be allocated to                    
               each member equal to a fixed percentage (which does not                
               exceed 100 percent) of the excess, if any, of (1) the                  
               separate return tax liability of such member for the                   
               taxable year (computed as provided in paragraph                        
               (a)(2)(ii) of �1.1552-1), over (2) the tax liability                   
               allocated to such member in accordance with (a) of this                
               subdivision (ii); and                                                  
                    (c) The total of any additional amounts allocated                 
               pursuant to (b) of this subdivision (ii) (including                    
               amounts allocated as a result of a carryback) shall be                 
               credited to the earnings and profits of those members                  
               which had items of income, deductions, or credits to                   
               which such total is attributable pursuant to a                         
               consistent method which fairly reflects such items of                  
               income, deductions, or credits, and which is                           
               substantiated by specific records maintained by the                    
               group for such purpose.
