  (1) The term "employment number" shall  mean  the  average  number  of
individuals,  excluding  general  executive  officers  (in the case of a
corporation), employed full-time by the enterprise for at least one-half
of the taxable year. Such number shall be computed  by  determining  the
number  of such individuals employed by the taxpayer on the thirty-first
day of March, the thirtieth day of June, the thirtieth day of  September
and the thirty-first day of December during the applicable taxable year,
adding  together  the  number  of  such  individuals determined to be so
employed on each of such dates and dividing the sum so obtained  by  the
number of such dates occurring within such applicable taxable year. Such
number  shall  not  include individuals employed within the state within
the immediately preceding sixty months by a related person to the  QEZE,
as  such  term  "related person" is defined in subparagraph (c) of para-

internal  revenue  code.  For  this  purpose,  a  "related person" shall
include an entity which would have qualified as a  "related  person"  to
the  QEZE  if it had not been dissolved, liquidated, merged with another
entity or otherwise ceased to exist or operate.  PROVIDED, HOWEVER, SUCH
