          1   As noted above, petitioners conceded that they are                      
          not entitled to the claimed “unexplained expenses” in 1995.                 
          2  We note that the total of these items is actually                        
          $15,865.  The record does not provide an explanation as to                  
          the discrepancy.                                                            
          3  The actual amount should be ($10,241).  The record                       
          does not provide a basis for the discrepancy.
