                                       - 19 -                                         

          January 21, 1988, petitioner knew that IL NA Tours owed Northwest           
          significantly more than the amount set forth in the January                 
          agreement.                                                                  
               Under the January agreement, petitioner, as president and              
          owner of IL NA Tours, agreed to pay Northwest $62,155 per week              
          toward the back debt.  Those payments were to be in addition to             
          any current amount petitioner’s corporations owed Northwest for             
          ticket sales, in order for them to be current by the end of 1988.           
               IL NA Tours made at least seven payments of $62,155 each               
          between February 2 and March 18, 1988.12  Neither petitioner nor            
          any NA Tours company made any payments to Northwest under the               
          January agreement after March 18, 1988.                                     
          Transfers Out of Corporate Accounts Into the Sam Han Account in             
          1988                                                                        
               On January 19 and 20, 1988, immediately before executing the           
          January agreement, petitioner withdrew $100,000 and $200,000,               
          respectively, from IL NA Tours’ Albank No. 1 account and placed             


               12 We cannot determine from the record the source from which           
          IL NA Tours obtained the funds to make these payments to                    
          Northwest.  Petitioner contends on brief that the funds he                  
          returned from his FCIS account to IL NA Tours’ Albank No. 1                 
          account were used to meet the corporation’s obligations to                  
          Northwest.  The record, however, does not show that the funds               
          returned to Albank No. 1 from the FCIS account were used to make            
          those payments to Northwest.  Statements in briefs are not                  
          evidence, and they cannot be used as such to supplement the                 
          record.  See, e.g., Rule 143(b); Niedringhaus v. Commissioner, 99           
          T.C. 202, 214 n.7 (1992).
