            showed that Kanter/FPC Subventure Partnership’s capital account                             
            at the end of 1989 was a negative $1,288,755.  Exh. 215.  A                                 
            Schedule K-1 that One River Partnership issued to Kanter for 1989                           
            showed that Kanter/FPC Subventure Partnership’s capital account                             
            at the end of 1989 was negative $1,767,981.  Exh. 9094.                                     
                  FPC Subventure Partnership was a conduit that Kanter used to                          
            transfer to Lisle a share of the payments that Schaffel made to                             
            THC on Travelers transactions from 1984 to 1986.                                            
            V.  Additional Findings of Fact Regarding the Examination                                   
            Process and Summons Enforcement Proceedings                                                 
            As previously discussed, the Kanters paid a small amount of                                 
            Federal income tax for 1978.  The Kanters filed tax returns for                             
            1979 to 1989 reporting no tax liability.                                                    
                  A.  Failure To Cooperate During the Audit                                             
                  During the late 1980s, the IRS began an examination of                                
            Kanter’s and IRA’s tax returns.  Lunk, Transcr. at 1040-1042.                               
            When Kanter met with IRS examiners and they requested certain                               
            documentation, Kanter informed the examiners that he would frame                            
            the issues in the case, not the IRS.  Dion, Transcr. at 831-834.
