Al Zuni of Arizona, Inc. - Page 12

                                       - 12 -                                         
          value of the jewelry inventory transferred from Al Zuni to Khalaf           
          produces income to Al Zuni of $133,413.                                     
               Petitioners contend that certain checks totaling $133,000              
          written during 1992 by Khalaf on Al Zuni’s bank account in favor            
          of Khalaf, Khalaf’s daughter and son, and cash should be treated            
          as additional purchases of jewelry on behalf of Al Zuni, and                
          should be treated as increasing Al Zuni’s cost basis in the                 
          jewelry inventory by at least $133,000 and as eliminating                   
          essentially all gain on the transfer of the jewelry inventory to            
          Khalaf.  No credible evidence indicates that these checks                   
          constitute purchases of jewelry inventory.  Petitioners' attempt            
          to violate the stipulation of facts as to Al Zuni’s cost basis in           
          the jewelry inventory is rejected.                                          
               We sustain respondent’s adjustment charging Al Zuni with               
          income in the amount of $133,413 with regard to the September 15,           
          1992, transfer of jewelry inventory from Al Zuni to Khalaf.                 

          Capital Gain Income of $474,903 Charged to Khalaf                           
               Section 331 provides that amounts received by shareholders             
          in liquidation of a corporation shall be treated as full payment            
          in exchange for the shareholders' shares of stock in the                    
          corporation.  Under section 1001, a gain or loss realized by                
          shareholders upon receipt of property in complete liquidation of            
          a corporation is determined by comparing the value of the
