24             appreciation amounts (to the  extent  consisting  of
25             gain reportable under the provisions of Section 1245
26             or  1250  of  the  Internal  Revenue  Code)  for all

29                  (B)  The   lesser   of   (i)  the  sum  of  the
30             pre-August 1,  1969  appreciation  amounts  (to  the
31             extent  consisting of capital gain) for all property
32             in respect of  which  such  gain  was  reported  for
33             federal income tax purposes for the taxable year, or
34             (ii)  the  net  capital  gain  for the taxable year,
                            -24-               LRB9003558KDks
 1             reduced in either case by any amount  of  such  gain

 5                  (A)  If  the  fair  market  value  of  property
 6             referred   to   in   paragraph   (1)   was   readily
 7             ascertainable on August 1, 1969, the  pre-August  1,
 8             1969  appreciation  amount  for such property is the
 9             lesser of (i) the excess of such fair  market  value
10             over the taxpayer's basis (for determining gain) for
11             such  property  on  that  date (determined under the
12             Internal Revenue Code as in effect on that date), or
13             (ii) the total  gain  realized  and  reportable  for

15             exchange or other disposition of such property.
16                  (B)  If  the  fair  market  value  of  property
17             referred  to  in  paragraph  (1)  was  not   readily
18             ascertainable  on  August 1, 1969, the pre-August 1,
19             1969 appreciation amount for such property  is  that
20             amount  which bears the same ratio to the total gain
21             reported in respect  of  the  property  for  federal
22             income  tax  purposes  for  the taxable year, as the
23             number of full calendar months in that part  of  the
24             taxpayer's  holding  period  for the property ending
25             July 31, 1969 bears to the number of  full  calendar
26             months  in  the taxpayer's entire holding period for
27             the property.
28                  (C)  The  Department   shall   prescribe   such
29             regulations  as  may  be  necessary to carry out the
30             purposes of this paragraph.

                            -25-               LRB9003558KDks
 1    by  this  Section  there  shall  be   no   modifications   or

 3    taken  into  account  in  determining  gross income, adjusted
 4    gross  income  or  taxable  income  for  federal  income  tax
 5    purposes for the taxable year, or in the amount of such items
 6    entering into the computation of base income and  net  income
 7    under  this  Act for such taxable year, whether in respect of
