          are.

          under section 6662(a) for each of the taxable years at issue                 
          except the taxable year ended February 28, 1993?  We hold that               
          they are.                                                                    
                                   FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.                
               Petitioner Florida Industries Investment Corporation (FIIC)             
          had its principal place of business in Orlando, Florida, at the              
          time the petition was filed.                                                 
               At all relevant times, FIIC was the common parent of an                 
          affiliated group within the meaning of section 1504(a).  That                
          group included, inter alia, OIP, Indian River Farms, Inc. (IRF),             
          and Canti Carriage Company (CCC).  Throughout the taxable years              
          at issue, William Canty (Mr. Canty) was the sole stockholder of              
          FIIC, which owned 100 percent of the outstanding stock of OIP,               
          IRF, and CCC, and he also was the president of, inter alia, FIIC             
          and each of those subsidiaries of FIIC.  At all relevant times,              
          the principal business activity of both OIP and IRF was real                 
          estate investment and development, and the principal business                
          activity of CCC was auto sales.                                              

               2Although respondent made determinations with respect to                
          petitioners’ taxable year ended Feb. 28, 1993, those determina-              
          tions did not result in a deficiency, and respondent made no                 
          determinations under secs. 6651(a)(1) and 6662(a), for that year.
