                                       - 40 -                                         
          Properties’ St. Clair property interests.  On the instant record,           
          we reject that contention.  We have found on that record (1) that           
          petitioners anticipated that Mr. Signom would receive quid pro              
          quo from the University at the closing of the final exchange                
          transaction on August 1, 1991, (2) that Mr. Signom was entitled             
          under the final property exchange agreement to receive quid pro             
          quo from the University in the final exchange transaction, and              
          (3) that pursuant to that agreement he did receive such quid pro            
          quo in that transaction.  The quid pro quo that Mr. Signom                  
          received in the final exchange transaction totaled $295,963 and             
          consisted of the Ludlow property valued in the final property               
          exchange agreement and for Ohio transfer tax purposes at                    
          $253,000, $12,000 in cash, and relief from the mortgage of                  
          $30,963 to which the Irving property was subject on August 1,               
          1991, when Mr. Signom transferred it to the University.                     
               Pursuant to the final property exchange agreement, the                 
          University also received quid pro quo in the final exchange                 
          transaction consisting of the cancellation of MHR Properties’ St.           
          Clair property interests by Mr. Signom and Ms. Signom as the                
          general partners of MHR Properties and the transfer to the                  
          University by Mr. Signom in his individual capacity of the Irving           
          property.  The parties agree that MHR Properties’ St. Clair                 
          property interests had a value of $111,500 when those interests             
          were canceled.  The parties do not agree on the fair market value           
          of the Irving property that Mr. Signom transferred to the Univer-
