          arm’s-length discussions on behalf of Blackland occurred in                 
          connection with the terms of the $2 million revolving credit                
          note.                                                                       
               According to the May 31, 1992, balance sheet and year-to-              
          date income statement of Blackland that is in the record, at the            
          time the $2 million revolving credit note was executed on                   
          April 13, 1992, on behalf of Blackland, Blackland had no capital,           
          no income, and no retained earnings.  No security agreement was             
          entered into between petitioner and Blackland to provide                    
          collateral in favor of petitioner for any funds petitioner                  
          transferred to Blackland under the revolving line of credit.                
               During 1992 and until July of 1993, in spite of the                    
          existence of the April 13, 1992, revolving credit note, no                  
          transfers of funds occurred between petitioner and Blackland.               
               Minutes of the meeting of the nominal shareholders of                  
          Blackland held on March 9, 1995, state that the $2 million                  
          revolving credit note was orally renewed for 1993 and 1994.                 
               On March 10, 1995, another document also entitled “revolving           
          credit note” was executed by the president of Blackland in favor            
          of petitioner under which Blackland again purported to agree to             
          repay to petitioner funds to be extended to Blackland under a               
          loan from petitioner up to a maximum principal amount of $2.5               
          million at an annual interest rate of 8 percent.  No schedule for           
          the payment of principal or interest is set forth in this second
