                                         -6-                                          
          15-percent minority interest discount and a 30-percent lack of              
          marketability discount to the values derived under those methods.           
          The book value method reflected Glenwood Bank’s reported equity             
          as of June 30, 1996, the most current data available as of                  
          decedent’s date of death.  The discounted cashflow method applied           
          a 14.5-percent discount rate to Glenwood Bank’s projected annual            
          income for each of the years during a 10-year period ending in              
          December 2005 and an 11.5-percent rate to the bank’s residual               
          value.  The public guideline market method reflected prices paid            
          for companies which were engaged in a business similar to                   
          Glenwood Bank’s and whose stock was actively traded in a public             
          market.  The private guideline market method reflected                      
          transactions involving acquisitions of privately held banks                 
          comparable to Glenwood Bank.  The resulting values derived under            
          these four methods were as follows:                                         
          Discounted      Public     Private

          30-percent lack of marketability discount   3,604,425    3,330,000    4,200,000    4,641,000

          The average of the resulting values is $1,067,470.50                        
          ((975,598 + 901,320 + 1,136,800 + 1,256,164)/4).                            
               At trial, petitioners called three experts to testify in               
          support of petitioners’ challenge to respondent’s determination             
          of the fair market value of decedent’s shares.  Each of these
