              Under their comparable companies analyses, Messrs. Weiksner             
          and McGraw applied a 45-percent discount to reflect lack of                 
          marketability.  Mr. McGraw also applied the 45-percent lack of              
          marketability discount in his discounted cashflow analysis; he did          
          not apply a minority interest discount or assert that the value             
          reflected a premium for control.  Mr. Weiksner opined that his              
          discounted cashflow analysis produced a control value that                  
          demonstrated a 34-percent control premium over the comparable               
          companies value and confirmed his valuation under the comparable            
          companies analysis.  Mr. Hanan applied a 30-percent discount for            
          lack of marketability from the value determined under both his              
          comparable companies approach and his discounted cashflow analysis.         
              Mr. Weiksner applied a 10-percent extraordinary risk discount           
          to JPMS’s comparable companies value.  This discount accounted for:         
          (1) The approximate cost of replacing Mr. Mitchell’s services that          
          was estimated in the projections of JPMS’s operating expenses; (2)          
          operational difficulties; (3) dependence on Mr. DeJoria; and (4)            
          difficulty in maintaining future growth.
