            Corp.’s payments to KWJ Corp.),85 $882,042 from Frey (through                               
            payments to IRA’s subsidiary, Zeus), (3) $1,398,626 from

                  85  During 1977 through 1983, Hyatt Corp. paid a total of                             
            $907,845 to KWJ Corp. pursuant to the Hyatt/KWJ agreement.  See                             
            Table 2, supra p. 90.  In early 1979, IRA acquired from Weaver                              
            all of KWJ Corp.’s common stock for $150,000.  At the time, KWJ                             
            Corp. had net assets of $115,084.  The record also leaves open                              
            the possibility that Hyatt Corp. made a payment to KWJ Corp. for                            
            1978 (a payment that would have been made in early 1979).  See                              
            supra p. 90 (Handelsman).  After 1978, Weaver forwarded the Hyatt                           
            Corp. payments to Kanter, who had TACI negotiate the checks and                             
            then distribute to Weaver his 30-percent share of each payment.                             
            Petitioners’ Reply Brief at 537.  IRA deducted the payments to                              
            Weaver as a commission expense.  With the exception of interest                             
            income of $13,796, the payments from Hyatt Corp. represented KWJ                            
            Corp.’s sole source of funds.  Exh. 9076 (Kuck Summary # 2.b.);
