          divorced prior to the trial of this case.  Each of the Penalbas             
          held 50 percent of petitioner's stock during the years 1988                 
          through 1990.  The initial investment of the Penalbas in                    
          petitioner's stock was a total of approximately $15,000.  When              
          petitioner first began its operations, its conversion was all               
          done through commissioned knitting, dyeing, and finishing plants.           
          After 1987, petitioner stopped selling woven fabrics and started            
          selling only knitted fabrics.  In 1990, petitioner was involved             
          in some resales of both gray goods and finished goods.                      
               Mrs. Penalba was the chief financial officer and secretary             
          of petitioner during its fiscal years 1987 through 1990, and Mr.            
          Penalba was its president during those years.  Petitioner hired a           
          bookkeeper in 1985.  Sometime after the bookkeeper was hired,               
          petitioner hired a receptionist who was trained in production.              
          In 1987 or 1988, petitioner began to hire outside salespeople.              
               Petitioner designed its own fabrics, and most of the fabrics           
          it sold to customers were of petitioner's own designs.  Both Mr.            
          or Mrs. Penalba would discuss development of a fabric which was             
          being designed, but Mr. Penalba actually designed the fabric.               
          Mr. Penalba would determine such aspects of the fabric as the               
          type of thread to be used, the construction needed for the                  
          fabric, whether the fabric needed stretchability on the width or            
          length, or whether the fabric was to be top or bottom weighted.             
          Mr. Penalba was responsible for selecting the proper yarns, the             
          proper equipment, the knitting weights, and the work requirements
