                                       - 21 -                                         
          submit cogent evidence to overcome the admission on the corporate           
          returns that Mid-Nebraska continued to own the loans to                     
          shareholder accounts after York acquired Mid-Nebraska’s business.           
               Petitioners have not proven that the loans to shareholder              
          accounts did not exist when Mid-Nebraska ceased business.                   
          Accordingly, we sustain respondent’s determination that                     
          petitioners realized capital gain during 1993 from a liquidation            
          distribution petitioner received from Mid-Nebraska when it was              
          statutorily dissolved in that year.                                         
               Although petitioners claim to have made additional capital             
          contributions to Mid-Nebraska between February 1982 and September           
          8, 1992, they have failed to establish that they are entitled to            
          a greater basis for petitioner’s stock than the amount allowed by           
          respondent.  Accordingly, we hold that petitioner’s basis in the            
          Mid-Nebraska stock was $33,175 when the corporation was                     
          dissolved.                                                                  
               We have carefully considered all remaining arguments made by           
          the parties for a result contrary to that expressed herein,4 and,           
          to the extent not discussed above, find them to be irrelevant or            
          without merit.                                                              

               4On brief, petitioners do not address the inclusion or                 
          accuracy of the net depreciable assets or the accounts payable              
          amounts shown above.  Accordingly, we treat those amounts as                
          conceded by petitioners.  See Rule 151(e)(4) and (5); Petzoldt v.           
          Commissioner, 92 T.C. 661, 683 (1989); Money v. Commissioner, 89            
          T.C. 46, 48 (1987).
