Frizzelle Farms, Inc. v. Commissioner

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
Frizzelle Farms, Inc. v. Commissioner, 511 F.2d 1009 (4th Cir. 1975)

Frizzelle Farms, Inc. v. Commissioner

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM:

After hearing oral argument and considering the briefs, and after studying the record, we agree with the Tax Court, Frizzelle Farms, Inc., 61 T.C. 737 (1974), that the fair market value of warrants received by the taxpayer as a result of the merger of P. Lorillard Corporation into Loew’s Theatres, Inc., may be determined by the over-the-counter purchase and sales transactions of such warrants. As a consequence, we agree that the gain realized by the taxpayer from the exchange could not be reported on the installment basis under Section 453 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. We affirm on the opinion of the Tax Court.

Affirmed.
