                                       - 32 -                                         
             Glen & Graf or the nature or extent of any advice that                   
             Mr. Glen may have provided to petitioners with respect                   
             to the returns.                                                          
                  Petitioner testified in general terms that he relied                
             upon the advice of his accountant to establish and                       
             administer the qualified plan, and that he relied upon                   
             his accountant's advice with respect to his personal                     
             income tax returns for 1990 and 1991, and with respect to                
             the preparation of annual reports on behalf of the plan.                 
             However, petitioner's testimony regarding the advice he                  
             received from Mr. Glen about the subject loans was vague                 
             and contradictory.  On the one hand, he testified on                     
             direct examination that Mr. Glen advised him not to make                 
             any payments on the loans:                                               

                  Q         Now, Dr. Garcia, did you make any                         
                       payments -- your -- did you make any                           
                       payments on the loans which have been                          
                       entered into evidence other than the                           
                       payments -- the partial payment that was                       
                       made in 1988, I believe, and which is shown                    
                       in the stipulation, and then the payment on
