                                        - 8 -                                         
          for the Third Circuit held that a corporate taxpayer that was               
          specifically exempted from the application of section 1275(b) of            
          TRA 1986 by section 1277(c)(2)(D) of TRA 1986 remained liable to            
          the BIR for tax on its worldwide income.  The Court of Appeals              
          for the Ninth Circuit affirmed our decision with respect to the             
          timeliness of the notice of deficiency.4  See Condor Intl., Inc.            
          v. Commissioner, 78 F.3d at 1258-1359.  Petitioner has not                  
          advanced any argument that would cause us not to follow our prior           
          holding in Condor Intl., Inc. v. Commissioner, supra, or that of            
          the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to which the instant             
          case is appealable, absent stipulation to the contrary.                     
          Accordingly we shall grant respondent's motion for partial                  
          summary judgment and deny petitioner's motion for partial summary           
          judgment.                                                                   
               We have considered the parties' remaining arguments and find           
          them irrelevant or unnecessary to reach.                                    
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              

                                             An appropriate order will be             
                                        issued.                                       


          4    The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the                
          decision of this Court with regard to the imposition of additions           
          to tax.  See Condor Intl., Inc. v. Commissioner, 78 F.3d 1355,              
          1360 (9th Cir. 1996), affg. in part and revg. in part 98 T.c. 203           
          (1992).  In the instant case, respondent has conceded that                  
          petitioner is not liable for any of the additions to tax set                
          forth in the notice of deficiency.
