          petitioners' income from Design Consultants and/or White Star for           
          1986 and 1988 would still have been understated.  We have found             
          that those written materials did not reflect all of the receipts            
          of Design Consultants and/or White Star in that (1) the cash                
          receipts journals omitted, inter alia, all of the amounts that              
          Design Consultants and/or White Star received from Greyhound                
          during 1986 and most of the amounts that Design Consultants                 
          and/or White Star received from Mayflower during the years at               
          issue and (2) the invoice logs16 did not reflect any receipts               
          from Greyhound and/or Mayflower.                                            
               Moreover, even assuming arguendo that, in connection with              
          Mr. Dennett's preparation of their returns for the years at                 
          issue, petitioners had provided him with the cash receipts                  
          journals and the invoice logs, their rental income for 1986 and             
          1988 would still have been understated.  We have found that                 
          petitioners understated their rental income in each of the                  
          returns at issue.  Petitioners do not claim that their rental               
          income was reflected in the cash receipts journals, the invoice             
          logs, or any other written records, and it appears that none of             
          their rental income was reflected in any such records.  Conse-              
          quently, Mr. Dennett must have obtained information regarding               


          16  The original invoice logs for the years at issue are not part           
          of the record.  Ms. Olbres claimed at trial that she did not know           
          where they were.  Ms. Olbres periodically destroyed the copies of           
          portions of the invoice logs for the years at issue that she had            
          brought to petitioners' house.
