               On December 22, 2005, Curtis Kimball (Kimball), the estate’s           
          new valuation expert, finalized a report in which he concluded              
          that the estate’s Reliance shares should be included in                     
          decedent’s gross estate at the valuation date trading price                 
          discounted by 17 percent.                                                   
               The schedule below sets forth the percentage discount from             
          the valuation date trading price, the discounted per share value,           
          and the total value of the estate’s Reliance shares as reported             
          on the estate’s Federal estate tax return, as asserted by the               
          estate at trial, as determined in respondent’s notice of                    
          deficiency, and as asserted by respondent at trial:
