The Argonaut common stock owned by each of the shareholders had a basis of $2,000 prior to the distribution and a value of $3,000 immediately after the distribution. At the time of the distribution, Argonaut had $2,000 of earnings and profits. In year three, Argonaut had $3,000 of earnings and profits.
