                                       - 150 -                                        
          PKV&S should be limited to deducting the reasonable compensation            
          amounts determined by Ugone for 1992 and 1993.  We consider these           
          contentions below.                                                          
               We agree with petitioners that a number of factors must be             
          considered when deciding whether compensation is reasonable in              
          situations such as the one presented here.  With respect to the             
          factors cited by petitioners, our review of both experts’ reports           
          leads us to the conclusion that they considered many of these               
          factors as well as others in making their determinations as to              
          reasonable compensation amounts for 1992 and 1993.  In                      
          particular, we note the following excerpt from Dorf’s report:               
               In gathering relevant company data, identifying market                 
               data, conducting our analyses, and ultimately rendering                
               our expert opinion, we considered the following issues:                
                    1.  What were Mr. Rose’s qualifications?                          
                    2.  What were Mr. Rose’s duties and                               
                    responsibilities at PKV?                                          
                    3.  What was the financial performance of PKV                     
                    during the period 1987 through 1991?                              
                    4.  What was Mr. Rose’s compensation during the                   
                    period 1987 through 1993?                                         
                    5.  How was Mr. Rose’s compensation determined?                   
                    6.  What was the market value of Mr. Rose’s                       
                    position during 1987 through 1993?                                
                    7.  How did Mr. Rose’s compensation compare to the                
                    market value of similar position(s)?                              
                    8.  Was there a deferred compensation plan in                     
                    place at PKV?
