          portion of the advertising expenses and withheld money from his             
          paycheck as an “account receivable” for repayment.  Mr. Possas’s            
          annual payroll statement for 1995 reflects an “account

          expenses separately, without the advanced funds from his                    
          employer.

          1995 but started working independently in 1995 as a way to make             
          friends.  She worked either at an area in the kitchen in her home           
          or at the home of a client.  The schedule of approximate charges            
          for her hairdressing activity was as follows:
