                                  FINDINGS OF FACT                                    
               Some of the facts have been stipulated and are so found.               
          The Stipulation of Facts is incorporated by this reference.                 
          Petitioner resided in Long Beach, California, at the time he                
          filed his petition.                                                         
          I.  Purported Acquisition of Gas Station and Minimarket                     
               On June 7, 1989, petitioner signed an agreement with                   
          Glendale Federal Savings and Loan Association (the Agreement).              
          The Agreement modified the terms of an escrow arrangement                   
          previously entered into by petitioner.  Petitioner did not submit           
          documents relating to the earlier arrangement.  The Agreement               
          pertained to petitioner's proposed acquisition from Israel and              
          Sonya Dakar of a gas station and minimarket (the Business)                  
          located at 2990 Pacific Avenue in Long Beach, California.  The              
          Agreement indicated that petitioner was to purchase the Business            
          but that the Dakars would retain ownership of the physical                  
          premises on which the Business was located.  The Agreement                  
          further indicated that petitioner had deposited $10,000 in an               
          escrow account, planned to deposit an additional $140,000 in the            
          account, and would execute a $175,000 promissory note and                   
          security agreement obligating him to make monthly payments to the           
          Dakars.  Petitioner did not submit documentary evidence to                  
          establish that he ultimately transferred the funds in the escrow            
          account to the Dakars or that he purchased the Business.
