Estate of Paul Mitchell, Deceased, Patrick T. Fujieki, Executor - Page 43

                                       - 43 -                                         

               In his discounted cash-flow analysis, Mr. Hanan projected              
          JPMS' anticipated cash-flows for 5 years after 1989, and discounted         
          the cash-flows to a present value at the valuation date.  For               
          purposes of this analysis, Mr. Hanan again assumed executive                
          compensation would be set at $5 million.  Accordingly, Mr. Hanan            
          determined that as of April 21, 1989, the discounted cash-flow              
          control value of JPMS was $295 million, while the discounted cash-          
          flow value of JPMS' equity was $218 million on a publicly traded,           
          minority-interest basis.                                                    
               Finally, although Mr. Hanan proposed an $81 million fair               
          market value for the 1,226 shares of JPMS common stock, he concedes         
          that "because of a likely disagreement between the buyer/seller and         
          [Mr.] DeJoria over [Mr.] DeJoria's compensation and the possibility         
          of litigation, the value of the subject stock could be as high as           
          $165.3 million and as low as $57.7 million."22                              
                    2.  The Brennan Report                                            
               Respondent also offered the expert report of E. James Brennan          
          III,23 president of Brennan, Thomsen Associates, Inc.  Mr. Brennan          
          regularly testifies as an expert witness regarding personnel                
          management and pay practices, particularly in the area of executive         
          compensation.                                                               


               22   Mr. Hanan reached the $57.7 million figure by assuming            
          that Mr. DeJoria's compensation would be set at $12 million for             
          fiscal year 1990 and $17 million per year thereafter.                       
               23   Respondent chose not to put E. James Brennan III on the           
          stand.
