                                   Addition to Tax

               After concessions by both parties, we must decide the                  
          following issues:                                                           
               (1) Whether the notices of deficiency in this case were                
          valid, granting us jurisdiction.  We hold that the notices were             
          valid and that we have jurisdiction.                                        
               (2) Whether the notices of deficiency were arbitrary and               
          erroneous, which would cause them to lose their presumption of              
          correctness.  With the exception of $35,873 of unreported income            
          determined in the notice for 1993, we hold that the notices were            
          not arbitrary and erroneous and that they are entitled to the               
          presumption of correctness.                                                 
               (3) Whether petitioner is liable for the deficiencies in tax           
          as determined by respondent.  We hold that petitioner is liable             
          to the extent discussed below.                                              
               (4) Whether petitioner is liable for the additions to tax as           
          determined by respondent.  We hold that petitioner is liable to             
          the extent discussed below.
