                                       - 20 -                                         

                  The second adjustment to Beaufort Leaf's 1990 and 1991              
             returns that was made by respondent in the subject notices               
             of deficiency is the disallowance of certain purchases                   
             included as cost of goods.  The explanation of that                      
             adjustment in the notices of deficiency is as follows:                   

                       The amount of $1,057,163.00 and                                
                  $2,173,562.00 [sic] shown on your respective                        
                  1990 and 1991 tax returns as tobacco purchases                      
                  is reduced by $429,421.00 and $1,173,203.00                         
                  because it has not been established that any                        
                  amount more than $627,742.00 and $1,000,359.00                      
                  was for an ordinary and necessary business                          
                  expense, or was expended for the purpose                            
                  designated.  Therefore, the partnership                             
                  income is increased $429,421.00 in 1990 and                         
                  $1,173,203.00 in 1991.                                              

             We note that Beaufort Leaf's 1991 return includes purchases              
             of $2,713,562.46 in computing cost of goods sold, rather                 
             than "$2,173,562.00", as stated in the notices of                        
             deficiency.  Set out below is a list of the date, check                  
             number, payee, and amount of each check disallowed by                    
             respondent:
