               From 1978 to 1981, petitioner wrote medical malpractice                
          insurance only in Utah.  In 1982, petitioner began issuing                  
          insurance policies to physicians practicing in Montana, and in              
          1991 to physicians practicing in Idaho.  During the years in                
          issue, about 85-90 percent of petitioner's insurance policies               
          were issued to doctors practicing in Utah.                                  
               During those years, petitioner primarily wrote medical                 
          malpractice liability insurance and also wrote a small amount of            
          general liability insurance for its covered physicians.                     
               From 1984 to 1992, the number of doctors insured by                    
          petitioner increased as follows:
