          and 6-341787-7.  Of these four accounts, the following three were           
          open during 1991:  1-186357-8, 1-186533-4, and 6-341787-7.                  
               On December 4, 1989, Ming transferred $200,000 to Mr. Chu              
          from the Liu account number 1-186533-4.  On June 29, 1990,                  
          Mr. Chu withdrew $2,275 from his account number 1-186313-1, which           
          he then closed, and deposited this sum into the Liu account                 
          number 1-186533-4.  With respect to petitioners' other six bank             
          accounts that were open in 1990, all but one of them were open in           
          1991.  Mr. Chu closed his account number 69-92-03115-0 during               
          1990.                                                                       
               During the subject years, Oceanfront accepted travelers’               
          checks in denominations of $20, $50, and $100.  During 1990,                
          52 travelers checks in denominations of $50 and $100 were                   
          deposited into the Liu account number 1-186357-8, and 96                    
          travelers checks in denominations of $20, $50, and $100 were                
          deposited into the Liu account number 6-341787-7.                           
               Oceanfront's records for the subject years consisted                   
          primarily of canceled checks and a check register.  Oceanfront              
          did not maintain a separate cash receipts journal or a sales                
          journal, and it did not retain the tapes from its cash register.            
          Respondent reconstructed petitioners' income for the subject                
          years by way of the bank deposits method.  For 1990, respondent             
          determined that petitioners failed to report $669,128 of                    
          Oceanfront's gross receipts.  Respondent has since conceded that            
          these unreported receipts are no greater than $641,771.  For
