          Petitioners recorded Classic Pub's sales of food, beer, wine, and           
          mixed drinks in handwritten monthly sales journals.  These monthly          
          sales journals were provided to petitioners' accountant, who                
          prepared monthly profit and loss statements.

          Classic Pub

          1993          37,800           223,056            41,507                    
                                                                                     
          During these years, Classic Pub, Inc. filed U.S. Income Tax Returns         
          for an S Corporation (Forms 1120S), reporting the following:                
          Cost of     Total     Total       Ordinary

          1991    $294,214    $147,167    $147,276  $180,643    1($33,367)            
          1992     403,214     228,603     175,076   171,972        3,104             
          1993     414,649     203,864     226,633   205,677      220,956             
                                                                                     
           1 For 1991, petitioners reported 20 percent of Classic Pub,                
          Inc.'s losses.  The record does not reveal why petitioners reported         
          20 percent rather than 28.98 percent of Classic Pub Inc.'s losses.          
          2 The record does not reveal why for 1993 petitioners reported              
          $23,056 of income, rather than $20,956, as reflected on the K-1             
          from Classic Pub, Inc.                                                      
                                                                                     
          These amounts were based upon the bar/restaurant's monthly profit           
          and loss statements of income and expenses, which, in turn, were            
          based upon Classic Pub's handwritten sales journals.
