            and records of IRA, THC, Carlco, TMT, and BWK, respondent                                   
            requested production of documents relevant to determining the                               
            ownership of these entities, including stock ledgers and records                            
            of stockholders.  At the start of the trial, Kanter’s counsel                               
            informed the Court that no documents would be produced because                              
            the subpoenas were served on Gallenberger and she was not the                               
            custodian of records for IRA, THC, Carlco, TMT, and BWK.  Dick,                             
            Transcr. at 26-27.  Kanter’s counsel informed the Court that                                
            Kanter was the custodian of the records in question.  Dick,                                 
            Transcr. at 26-27.  Respondent then served Kanter with subpoenas                            
            for the documents in question.  Transcr. at 28.                                             
                  Petitioners produced complete THC trial balances only for                             
            1980 and 1981.  Exhs. 5850, 5851.  Respondent possessed from                                
            prior audits (1) partial general ledgers of THC for 1983, 1984,                             
            and 1985, Exhs. 148-150, and (2) partial trial balances of THC                              
            for 1983 and 1984, Exhs. 161-162; Gallenberger, Transcr. at 2510-                           
            2511.  There are no complete receipts and disbursement journals,                            
            general ledgers, or trial balances for THC for 1980, 1981, 1982,                            
            1985 (partial), 1986, 1987, 1988, and 1989.  Accordingly,                                   
            payments made by Schaffel, Frey, and Eulich/Essex Partnership to                            
            THC are not traceable through THC’s books and records.                                      
                  Gallenberger had in her possession the records of THC for                             
            1986, 1987, and 1988 and at some point turned those records over
