                                       - 43 -                                         
          concession that petitioners have satisfied the requirements of              
          section 7491(a)(2).                                                         
               The stipulated joint exhibits and petitioners’ exhibits                
          contain detailed financial information, including total revenue             
          and expenses figures for Village West for the years in issue.               
          Petitioners rely primarily on the findings of the ad hoc                    
          committee, of which Mr. Baker was a member, with certain                    
          adjustments.  AFVW management informed its AFVW residents that              
          certified data from the financial records of AFVW for the years             
          in issue was provided to the ad hoc committee and that the                  
          committee coordinated and worked with management to review and              
          make recommendations regarding the allowable deductions for                 
          medical expense.  This financial information and the ad hoc                 
          committee’s report are detailed and contain the revenue and                 
          expense figures necessary to calculate petitioners’ medical                 
          deductions for the years in issue.  After discussing this issue             
          with the parties at trial and examining their briefs, we                    
          interpret petitioners’ position to be that both the ad hoc                  
          committee’s findings and the findings resulting from petitioners’           
          subsequent adjustments are appropriate methods of calculating the           
          appropriate allocation percentage and determining petitioners’              
          medical deductions.                                                         
               After thorough review and critical analysis of the                     
          stipulated joint exhibits and petitioners’ exhibits, we find that
