               C. Petitioners' Participation in the Hawaiian Condos                   
               To promote the Hawaiian condominiums during 1993, petitioners          
          placed two advertisements in Hawaii Magazine, one each for the              
          rentals of the Maui and Molokai condos.  The advertisements ran for         
          the entire year, and the magazine was released bimonthly.  The              
          advertisements listed petitioners' home telephone number for                
          information on renting the condominiums.                                    
               Petitioners also marketed the Hawaiian condominiums through            
          several travel agents during 1993.  The travel agents referred              
          clients to petitioners, and in exchange petitioners referred                
          airline bookings and other travel and entertainment arrangements to         
          the travel agents.                                                          
               Further, Mr. Pohoski set up a worldwide web page on the                
          Internet which described petitioners and displayed pictures of the          
          Hawaiian condominiums.  Additionally, as they traveled to different         
          sites as part of their regular employment (Mr. Pohoski traveled to          
          military installations, and Mrs. Pohoski traveled to hospitals),            
          petitioners posted business cards on bulletin boards advertising            
          the availability of their Hawaiian condominiums.                            
               Petitioners received an average of two to three telephone              
          calls per day regarding the rental of their Hawaiian condominiums,          
          for a total of more than 500 calls during 1993.  Petitioners also           
          often received e-mail messages from prospective tenants.  Telephone         
          calls were usually received during the evenings and weekends when
