     3    13.  The term "manufacturer" shall mean a taxpayer  which  during  the

     5  facturing, processing, assembling, refining, mining,  extracting,  farm-
     6  ing,  agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, viticulture or commercial
     7  fishing. Moreover, for purposes of  computing  the  capital  base  in  a
     8  combined  report,  the  group  shall  be considered a "manufacturer" for
     9  purposes of this article only if the combined group during  the  taxable
    10  year  is principally engaged in the activities set forth  in this subdi-
    11  vision, or any combination thereof.
    12    14.  The term "principally engaged" shall  include  a  taxpayer  or  a
    13  combined  group  if, during the taxable year, more than fifty percent of
    14  the gross receipts of the taxpayer or combined group, respectively,  are
    15  derived  from receipts from the sale of goods produced by manufacturing.
    16  In computing a combined group's gross receipts, intercorporate  receipts
    17  shall be eliminated.
    18    § 2. Section 209 of the tax law is amended by adding a new subdivision
