                                       - 11 -                                         
          consistent with the bank deposits analyses for those years, and,            
          in addition, conceded $11,862 of the revised proposed adjustment            
          for 1989.  During the trial, respondent conceded $8,786 of the              
          revised proposed adjustment for 1987.                                       
               As a result of respondent’s bank deposits analyses and                 
          respondent’s concessions, respondent’s proposed adjustments for             
          unreported Schedule C income that remain at issue are as follows:           
                         Year           Proposed adjustment                           
                         1987                $36,981                                  
                         1989                35,370                                   
               In preparing the bank deposits analysis for 1987, respondent           
          did not obtain or review all of the relevant bank records with              
          respect to petitioner’s accounts and did not adequately adjust              
          the analysis for nontaxable items.  Most significantly,                     
          respondent did not analyze retained copies of petitioner’s                  
          deposit slips and bank statements, did not obtain missing bank              
          statements or copies of deposited items from the financial                  
          institutions with which petitioner maintained her bank accounts,            
          and did not adjust the deposits analysis for all of the income              
          sources reported on petitioner’s 1987 return.                               
               In preparing the bank deposits analysis for 1989, respondent           
          attached a list of deposits made to one of the two accounts                 
          included in the analysis, on which some but not all of the                  
          deposit sources were listed.  The deposits list apparently was              
          prepared from retained copies of deposit tickets.  Respondent did
