                         Association Insurance Fund member,                           
                         the fee shall be the approximate                             
                         amount which the [Federal Deposit                            
                         Insurance] Corporation calculates                            
                         as necessary to prevent dilution of                          
                         the Savings Association Insurance                            
                         Fund, and shall be paid to the                               
                         Savings Association Insurance Fund.                          
               Metrobank consummated the transaction on November 2, 1990,             
          and the FDIC approved the transaction on November 6, 1990,                  
          effective as of November 2, 1990.  After the transaction, all of            
          Metrobank's deposit liabilities (including those assumed from               
          Community) were insured by the BIF.  Metrobank could not have               
          insured through the BIF the deposit liabilities it had assumed              
          from Community without paying the exit and entrance fees.                   
               In total, Metrobank paid to the FDIC an exit fee of $309,565           
          and an entrance fee of $43,339 on its assumption of Community’s             
          deposit liabilities.  Metrobank paid those fees in five annual              
          installments, paying $71,518 in each subject year ($62,735 for              
          the exit fee and $8,783 for the entrance fee).3  For each of the            
          subject years, petitioner claimed a deduction for the payment of            
          the fees during that year.  Petitioner also claimed for those               
          respective years deductions of $465,046, $463,583, and $311,245             
          that Metrobank paid to the FDIC as semiannual insurance premiums            
          under 12 U.S.C. sec. 1817 (1994).                                           


               3 We recognize that the sum of the exit and entrance fee               
          ($309,565 + $43,339 = $352,904) is $4,186 less than the total of            
          the five payments ($71,518 x 5 = $357,590).  The record does not            
          adequately explain the difference.
