          years, respondent proposed to reallocate, and petitioner agreed             
          to the reallocation of, petitioner’s purchase price among the               
          various assets held by Culinary.  As part of this adjustment, the           
          parties agreed to allocate $5 million of the purchase price to              
          the receivable from the City of Chicago for the TIF subsidy.                
          Based on the allocation of the $5 million of the purchase price             
          to the receivable from the City of Chicago for the TIF subsidy,             
          payments on the receivable should have been debited to cash and             
          credited to the receivable with no impact on petitioner’s taxable           
          income.                                                                     
               In fact, however, in accounting for payments that the City             
          of Chicago made in connection with the subsidy, petitioner did              
          not credit a receivable.  Rather, the payments were received and            
          credited as shown in the following chart:
