- 47 - Mitchell's illness. Petitioner suggests that no concrete plan ever existed. Fourth, petitioner argues that Mr. Hanan relied on post-April 21, 1989, information in developing his discounted cash-flow model. He used data from fiscal year ended July 31, 1989 (taken from JPMS' annual certified financial statements) in deriving his April 21, 1989, base year. However, this information was not available until the late fall of 1989. Thus, petitioner argues, Mr. Hanan premised his base year data on JPMS' actual financial results that, by definition, could not have been available at the valuation date. Furthermore, petitioner contends that Mr. Hanan mechanically used the KPMG projections (which he referred to as the "DeJoria projections") to compute his discounted cash-flow. In short, petitioner contends that while Mr. Hanan's discounted cash-flow purports to be a minority interest discounted cash-flow, in reality it is a control discounted cash-flow. According to petitioner, Mr. Hanan improperly changed the capital structure of JPMS, adding long-term debt on the assumption that a minority shareholder could influence capital structure. Finally, petitioner opines that Mr. Hanan's exorbitant control value is irreconcilable with Minnetonka's $125 million offer for all of the JPMS stock. Petitioner urges the Court to dismiss Mr. Hanan's conclusions as unrealistic.Page: Previous 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 Next
