               Unless otherwise indicated, all section references are to              
          the Internal Revenue Code in effect for the taxable years before            
          the Court, and all Rule references are to the Tax Court Rules of            
          Practice and Procedure.                                                     
               After concessions,1 the issues remaining for decision are:             
               (1) Whether petitioner M.S. Food Stores, Inc. (the corporate           
          petitioner), had unreported income from rebates and coupons in              
          its taxable years ending September 30, 1987, 1988, 1989, and                
          1990;                                                                       
               (2) whether the corporate petitioner had unreported gross              
          receipts in its taxable years ending September 30, 1987, 1988,              
          1989, and 1990;                                                             
               (3) whether the corporate petitioner is liable for additions           


          1  On brief respondent has conceded the fraud additions to                  
          tax and penalties for all years before the Court.  Respondent has           
          also conceded that petitioner Carolyn P. Sutton is an innocent              
          spouse as to the unexplained bank deposits and disputed rebate              
          and coupon checks diverted from the corporate petitioner (grossly           
          erroneous items).  Respondent further conceded that petitioner              
          Carolyn P. Sutton is an innocent spouse as to any additions to              
          tax predicated upon those income adjustments, provided that the             
          Court determines that the substantial understatements are in                
          amounts sufficient to satisfy the statutory requirements of sec.            
          6013(e)(1) through (4).  The parties have made various other                
          concessions which are set out in their stipulations of fact and             
          which will be discussed in the text below.
