          Mr. Norton signed checks payable to petitioner for his management           
          fees, which petitioner had already filled out.                              
                    2.   Cross Street Property                                        
               On February 9, 1998, the Pago Trust purchased unimproved               
          land located at 102 Cross Street, San Luis Obispo, California               
          (Cross Street property), for $205,000.  Petitioner arranged for             
          the Pago Trust to borrow $50,000 from Mrs. Gouveia’s father,                
          Edward Kazmierski, $50,000 from Maddalena Real Estate, and                  
          $105,000 from a “foreign lender” in order to acquire the Cross              
          Street property.15  Petitioner did not consult with Mr. Norton              
          before the purchase of the Cross Street property or during its              
          later development.                                                          
               On May 12, 1998, the Gouveias entered into a Construction              
          Project Manager Agreement (manager agreement) in which they                 
          agreed to act as the Pago Trust’s agent and to manage and                   
          coordinate the construction of a commercial building on the Cross           
          Street property.  The trust paid the Gouveias management fees for           
          their services.  Throughout 1998 and 1999, petitioner hired                 
          contractors and located suppliers of raw materials in connection            
          with the development of the Cross Street property.16  Eventually,           

               15The record contains no documentary evidence identifying              
          the person or entity that provided the $105,000 to the Pago                 
          Trust.                                                                      
               16According to the trust’s internal management records, the            
          Pago Trust financed the construction on the Cross Street property           
                                                             (continued...)
