                                        - 4 -                                         

          Petitioners did not fill out either a credit or loan application            
          prior to receipt of the funds reflected in the Universal Notes.             
               On August 19, 1991, petitioners and Alex Yung, as trustee of           
          the Herkeios Group, entered into a Credit Agreement, which                  
          extended petitioners a $25,000 unsecured line-of-credit at 5-               
          percent interest.  Petitioners did not complete a loan or credit            
          application for purposes of the Credit Agreement.  Petitioners              
          received $3,100 of funds in 1991 pursuant to this agreement.                
               Mr. Maranto wrote several checks to himself on the account             
          of J.S. Khalsa during 1991, including checks advancing funds to             
          petitioners pursuant to the Universal Notes.  Petitioners                   
          deposited the funds received pursuant to the Universal Notes and            
          Credit Agreement, which totaled $15,100, into their checking and            
          savings accounts at Grossmont Bank in San Diego, California.                
               On Schedule C (Profit or Loss From Business) of their 1991             
          Federal income tax return, petitioners included as part of gross            
          receipts $2,450, which represented Mr. Maranto's compensation for           
          1991 from the Herkeios Group.  Apart from the $2,450, petitioners           
          also reported a net profit from the business of $1,756.23.  On              
          their 1990 return, petitioners had reported a net profit from               
          J.S. Khalsa of $43,920.                                                     
               The Herkeios Group did not provide Mr. Maranto with a Form             
          W-2 for 1991.  Mr. Maranto had no other employment during this              
          time.
