               In connection with the SAB Foam transactions, therefore, the           
          arrangement was that PI would pay a monthly joint venture fee to            
          SAB Foam, in the same amount that SAB Foam would pay monthly to             
          F&G as rent, in the same amount that F&G would pay monthly to ECI           
          on the F&G note, in the same amount that ECI would pay monthly to           
          PI on the ECI note.  In connection with these arrangements by PI,           
          ECI, F&G, SAB Foam, and RRI, these monthly payments were                    
          offsetting, so they could be kept as bookkeeping entries with no            
          money actually changing hands.                                              
               On its 1982 Form 1065, U.S. Partnership Return of Income,              
          SAB Foam reported that the four recyclers had an aggregate basis            
          of $7 million, or $1,750,000 each, for purposes of the investment           
          and business energy tax credits.  In the present case, the                  
          undisputed evidence, including the stipulation of the parties,              
          establishes that the recyclers were not properly valued at                  
          $1,750,000 but instead had a maximum value of $30,000 to $50,000            
          each.  SAB Foam reported a net ordinary loss of $662,556.  SAB              
          Foam included the portion of credits and losses attributed to               
          petitioners on Schedules K-1, Shareholder’s Share of Income,                
          Credits, Deductions, Etc., filed with SAB Foam’s partnership tax            
          return.                                                                     
          B.  Private Offering Memorandum                                             
               The private offering memorandum (memorandum) that generally            
          was distributed to potential investors contemplated the creation
