          Items Reallocated From Silver Glen to Marc by Journal Entry                 
               As of December 31, 1997, Marc’s books and records showed               
          “Loans to stockholders” of $1,305,226.  This amount included, in            
          addition to the $800,000 Bank loan proceeds that petitioner                 
          transferred to Marc on December 29, 1997 (and certain nongermane            
          items), $213,571 that had been recorded by Silver Glen and that             
          was made up of $159,116 of legal fees and a $49,000 loan from               
          petitioner.  By adjusting journal entry, these amounts had been             
          “reallocated” from Silver Glen to Marc as loans from petitioner.            
          Merger of Marc, Lakeview, and Pleasant Prairie                              
               On or about December 15, 1998, pursuant to section                     
          368(a)(1)(A), Marc, Lakeview, and Pleasant Prairie merged into              
          Marc Development Company, a C corporation wholly owned by                   
          petitioner.                                                                 
          Petitioner’s 1997 Tax Return and NOL Carryback to 1994                      
               On his 1997 Federal income tax return, petitioner reported             
          current-year ordinary income from Marc of $183,894, which he                
          offset against the $792,752 Marc loss that had been carried over            
          from 1996 pursuant to section 1366(d)(2).  Consequently, for 1997           
          petitioner reported a net loss from Marc of $608,858.                       
               On Schedule D, Capital Gains and Losses, of his 1997 income            
          tax return, petitioner reported a $49,000 long-term capital gain            
          from “Recapture of Loan Basis” with respect to the Silver Glen              
          loan that had been “reallocated” (as discussed above) by
