          photographs or photographs used in petitioner’s advertising dated           
          before the floating structures were completed.                              
               Petitioner did not provide any evidence showing that the               
          floating structures were used primarily or at all for business              
          purposes during the last month of FYE June 30, 1996.35  See                 
          Hobson Motor Co. v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1990-297.                      
          Therefore, this Court also finds petitioner is not entitled to a            
          depreciation deduction pursuant to section 167(a)(1) for FYE June           
          1996.                                                                       
               The Court, in reaching its holdings, has considered all                
          arguments made and concludes that any arguments not mentioned               
          above are moot, irrelevant, or without merit.                               
               To reflect the foregoing,                                              

                                             Decision will be entered                 
                                        under Rule 155.                               











               35 The lack of adequate documentation also precludes any               
          deductions for entertainment, amusement, or recreation with                 
          respect to a facility used in connection with such activities.              
          Sec. 274(d)(2); see Finney v. Commissioner, T.C. Memo. 1980-23.
