          Jerry’s bases in various S corporations.  During 1997, the 1995             
          advances from Perry and Inter-Con were reclassified on Ram’s                
          books (by Ram) first as a note payable to Jerry and then as                 
          additional paid-in capital of Jerry.                                        
               For 1996, Jerry’s distributive share of Ram’s ordinary loss            
          was $805,269, and his basis in Ram was at least $260,000.  That             
          minimum basis does not reflect certain other disputed items (1996           
          disputed items) set forth below:

                         Bank and Regions Bank                                        
          check to Ram                  100,000                                       
                                                                                     
               1 The check to American from Emerald, a third party                    
          corporation unrelated to Jerry, was evidenced by a promissory               
          note from American to Emerald.                                              
               Ram’s 1996 records reported the $503,000 of these checks               
          written by Inter-Con to Ram as a note payable to Inter-Con.  That           
          treatment was reclassified by Ram in 1997 to report the checks              
          first as a note payable to Jerry and then as additional paid-in
