               GERBER, Judge:  For the taxable years ended September 30,              
          1989, 1990, and 1991,1 respondent determined deficiencies in                
          petitioner's Federal income taxes in the amounts of $35,529,                
          $71,692, and $84,331, respectively.  Respondent also determined             
          an $8,433 addition to tax under section 6651(a)(1)2 for 1991.               
               The issues for our consideration are:  (1) Whether                     
          petitioner is liable for excess interest tax under section                  
          884(f)(1)(B) for 1989, 1990, and 1991; (2) if petitioner is                 
          liable for the excess interest tax, whether certain assets should           
          be included in the taxable base; and (3) whether petitioner is              
          liable under section 6651(a)(1) for failure to timely file a                
          return for 1991.
