               In support of petitioner’s contention regarding the forego-             
          ing items, petitioner relies on his self-serving testimony, on               
          which we are not required to, and we shall not, rely.  Petitioner            
          also relies on the testimony of Mr. Raja.78  Based on the Court’s            
          evaluation of Mr. Raja’s testimony, we are not required to, and              
          we shall not, rely on his testimony regarding the items listed               
          above.  We found Mr. Raja’s testimony to have been based largely             
          on his general business practices with petitioner, as opposed to             


               78Petitioner failed to offer into evidence any credible                 
          documentary evidence, such as receipts, invoices, or any other               
          credible business records of UVW, that establishes petitioner’s              
          position regarding the claimed cost of goods sold at issue for               
          1991 and 1992.  We infer from petitioner’s failure to proffer any            
          such documentary evidence that any such evidence does not exist              
          and that, if it does exist, it would not have substantiated                  
          petitioner’s position regarding that claimed cost of goods sold.
