Al Zuni of Arizona, Inc. - Page 14

                                       - 14 -                                         
               The trial record is not complete with regard to Khalaf’s               
          capital investment in Al Zuni.  No stock record book or canceled            
          checks were offered into evidence that provide verification of              
          Khalaf’s basis in his shares of stock in Al Zuni.  In evidence,             
          however, are copies of Al Zuni’s corporate Federal income tax               
          returns for 1983 and later years in which Khalaf’s capital                  
          investment in his shares of stock in Al Zuni is consistently                
          reflected as $486,000.                                                      
               Based on the limited evidence before us on this issue and in           
          light of Khalaf’s testimony and the invested capital reflected on           
          Al Zuni’s corporate Federal income tax returns, we conclude that            
          on September 15, 1992, Khalaf’s cost basis in his shares of stock           
          in Al Zuni was $486,000, and we conclude that Khalaf realized no            
          capital gain income on the distribution from Al Zuni to him of              
          Al Zuni's jewelry inventory.                                                
                                             Decisions will be entered                
                                        under Rule 155.
