          Densification System (Regenolux), the Buss-Condux Plastcompactor,           
          and the Cumberland Granulator.  See Provizer v. Commissioner,               
          T.C. Memo. 1992-177, and the discussion regarding expert                    
          testimony, infra.  At the time of the closing of the Clearwater             
          transactions on December 21, 1981, there was no established                 
          market for leasing or operating the Sentinel EPE recyclers.                 
          D.   Expert Testimony                                                       
               Although petitioners conceded the overvaluation of the                 
          Sentinel EPE recyclers, the parties did not agree on the                    
          recyclers' value, and petitioners did not stipulate to be bound             
          by the value of the recyclers that we found in Provizer.                    
               At trial, petitioners did not offer expert testimony                   
          regarding the value of the Sentinel EPE recyclers.  In contrast,            
          respondent offered expert testimony from Steven Grossman                    
          (Grossman) and Richard S. Lindstrom (Lindstrom).                            
               1.   Grossman                                                          
               Grossman is a professor in the Plastics Engineering                    
          Department at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell.  He has            
          a bachelor of science degree in chemistry from the University of            
          Connecticut and a doctorate in polymer science and engineering              
          from the University of Massachusetts.  He also has more than 15             
          years of experience in the plastics industry, including more than           
          4 years of experience as a research and development scientist at            
          the Upjohn Company in its Polymer Research Group.
