Estate of Josephine T. Thompson, Deceased, Carl T. Holst-Knudsen and the Bank of New York, Executors - Page 38

                                       - 38 -                                         
               In his revised report, respondent’s expert, apparently still           
          not satisfied with his revised $158.8 million valuation for TPC             
          (using the corrected deferred tax add-back and a liquidation                
          value for TPC), goes on to recalculate much higher projected net            
          cashflow numbers for TPC for 1998-2002, and he calculates                   
          three higher valuations for TPC.                                            
               The major aspect or component of respondent’s expert’s                 
          recalculation of TPC’s projected net cashflows for 1998-2002 is             
          his use of TPC’s 1997 yearend total working capital, instead of             
          TPC’s 1997 change in net working capital.  The effect of using              
          yearend total working capital (against which his growth rate for            
          TPC was applied) was to significantly increase TPC’s estimated              
          cashflow for 1998-2002 by approximately $12 million a year.                 
               Based on the various calculations under his various methods,           
          respondent’s expert ultimately concluded that the total fair                
          market value for TPC as an entity, as of May 2, 1998, was                   
          $225 million.                                                               
               To the estate’s $46,282,500 20-percent share of this                   
          $225 million ($225,000,000 x .2057 = $46,282,500), respondent’s             
          expert applied a 30-percent lack of marketability discount and              
          arrives at a date-of-death value of $32,393,000 for the estate’s            
          20-percent stock interest in TPC.                                           
               Respondent’s expert bases his 30-percent (as opposed to a              
          higher) lack of marketability discount on the following:  (1) TPC
