               We cannot say the same of the reports submitted by                     
          petitioner’s experts.  Petitioner submitted reports from two                
          experts:  Patrick D. McIntosh, a licensed appraiser for McIntosh            
          & Associates, and Skip Vanderbundt, a real estate agent and                 
          senior vice president of Cornish & Carey Commercial.  Mr.                   
          McIntosh supported his testimony with two reports:  A “narrative            
          summary restricted report” (restricted report) in which Mr.                 
          McIntosh had appraised, for estate-planning purposes, the land              
          both raw and improved, and a “summary consulting report”                    
          (consulting report) in which Mr. McIntosh determined the fair               
          market rental value of the properties leased by petitioner.  Both           
          reports reach conclusions of value without providing any support            
          or analysis for the conclusions.  The restricted report describes           
          the real property and states a conclusion of value.  Nothing is             
          expressed in the report to support Mr. McIntosh’s conclusion of             
          value.  In the consulting report, Mr. McIntosh concludes that               
          petitioner’s leases are all within the range of fair market                 
          rental values on the basis of one identified lease, known as the            
          Nella Oil lease, and Mr. McIntosh’s knowledge of other lease                
          transactions, the specific terms of which, Mr. McIntosh says in             
          the report, he cannot disclose.                                             
               In cross-examination and through the testimony of Mr.                  
          Harris, respondent established that the Nella Oil property is               
          superior in every way to petitioner’s properties.  It is a highly
