                       MEMORANDUM FINDINGS OF FACT AND OPINION                        

               HALPERN, Judge:  By notice of deficiency dated February 2,             
          2001 (the notice), respondent determined deficiencies in                    
          petitioner’s Federal income tax as follows:                                 
          TYE 6/30              Deficiency                                            
          1995                 $161,680                                               
          1996                  152,933                                               
          1997                   61,628                                               
               The adjustments giving rise to those deficiencies are                  
          respondent’s disallowance of a portion of the deduction                     
          petitioner claimed in each of the foregoing taxable years (the              
          audit years) for amounts paid to Myra I. Harrison (Mrs.                     
          Harrison), one of petitioner’s officer-shareholders, as                     
          compensation for services.  The amounts disallowed (disallowed              
          amounts) are $808,041, $764,664, and $541,325 for petitioner’s              
          1995, 1996, and 1997 audit years, respectively.  On brief,                  
          respondent concedes a small portion of each of the disallowed               
          amounts for petitioner’s 1995 and 1996 audit years, so that they            
          are reduced to $806,467 and $762,019, respectively.  We accept              
          those concessions.                                                          
               Unless otherwise indicated, all section references are to              
          the Internal Revenue Code in effect for the years in issue, and             
          all Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of Practice and              
          Procedure.  All dollar amounts have been rounded to the nearest             
          dollar.
