payable to stockholder * * * due in 1997 bearing interest at 10%
per annum, payable monthly." But for this reference, the record
does not contain any evidence of notes fitting that description
or loans from petitioners to BCBI under such terms.
As indicated, having resigned his position with Maryland Cup
Corp., petitioner intended to participate actively in the marina
business. Consistent with this intent, petitioners were employed
by BCBI from 1987 through 1991 and received the following
compensation:
Year Petitioner Mary B. Plante
1987 $39,000 $3,900
1988 33,000 5,100
1989 -0- 1,800
1990 1,500 -0-
1991 38,000 -0-
Although petitioner intended to make a career out of the
marina business, his intentions were frustrated by the operating
losses suffered by BCBI. In order to minimize his loss with
respect to his investment in BCBI, petitioner decided to sell his
interest in the corporation.
BCBI was listed for sale for $2.25 million through a broker,
who in August or September 1991 identified Douglas and Kay Hansen
as prospective purchasers. After preliminary negotiations,
petitioner indicated that he would be willing to accept
$1,050,000 from the Hansens for his interest in BCBI.
