             renewal, renegotiation, modification, or extension of the                
             1986 loans.  Second, there is no other evidence that the                 
             parties to the loan intended to modify their contractual                 
             relationship in any manner.  In fact, we are unable to find              
             from petitioner's vague and evasive testimony that he was                
             even aware of the quarterly repayment requirements in the                
             notes.  Petitioner testified on direct examination as                    
             follows:                                                                 

                  Q         Dr. Garcia, the stipulated notes call                     
                       for quarterly repayments.  In fact, were                       
                       those quarterly repayments ever made?                          
                  A         No.                                                       
                  Q         What was your understanding with regard to                
                       the repayment of the notes?                                    
                  A         Well, according to the advice given to                    
                       me by my CPA was that payment would be set                     
                       up and that was the advice that I got.  To                     
                       me that plan was never the note.                               
                  Q         Did your CPA, Mr. Glen, ever tell you when                
                       the notes should be repaid?                                    
                  A         No, sir.                                                  
                              *   *   *   *   *   *   *                               
                  Q         * * * What was your understanding with                    
                       regard to those quarterly payments?
