- 39 - was not publicly traded; (2) historically, TPC was profitable; (3) investment risks associated with TPC were moderate; (4) TPC had consistently paid cash dividends; (5) as of May 2, 1998, TPC held more than $137 million in net liquid assets; and (6) the estate owned the single largest block of TPC stock. Respondent’s expert’s calculation of the $32,393,000 valuation for the estate’s 20.57-percent stock interest in TPC may be summarized as follows: Value of TPC $225,000,000 Multiplied by Estate’s Interest in TPC 20.57% Prediscounted Value of Estate’s Interest$ 46,282,500 Less 30% Marketability Discount 13,884,750 Value of Estate’s 20.57% Interest in TPC$ 32,393,000* * $32,393,000 represents the calculation as reflected in respondent’s expert’s revised report. The corrected math calculates to $32,397,750. As indicated, respondent’s expert does not apply a minority interest discount to the estate’s 20-percent TPC stock interest. Rather, respondent’s expert states that his discounted cashflow method of valuation inherently reflects a minority interest in TPC and therefore that no separate or additional minority interest discount is appropriate.Page: Previous 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 Next
