Epstein (the "Taxpayer" or -Grantor") transferred 1000 shares (100%) of Mort, Inc. (the "Mort Shares') to the Butterfly 2013 Trust (a Grantor Retained Annuity Trust ("GRAT")), in which the Taxpayer retained a "qualified annuity interest' within the meaning of "Treasury Regulation' section 25.2702-3, constituting a "qualified interest" within the meaning of IRC Section 2702(b)(1). A copy of the GRAT is attached hereto as Exhibit A. The term of the GRAT is 2 years. The Taxpayer retained the right to receive during the GRAT term, on the first anniversary of the funding of the GRAT, a fixed amount equal to 51.50391% of the initial fair market value (as finally determined for federal gift tax purposes) of the property transferred by the taxpayer to the GRAT and, on the second anniversary of the funding of the GRAT, a fixed amount equal to 100% of the of the amount to which he was entitled to receive on the first anniversary of the funding date. Given the initial fair market value of $10 million, the annuity payments are $5,150,391. Any amount not able to be paid in cash on the first anniversary date will be paid by returning Mort Shares to the Grantor at the then fair market value. CONCLUSION: Mort, Inc. is valued at $15,668,692 (see below computation) at 12/31/14. The GRAT Annuity payment will be effected by returning 328.705 Mort Inc shares to the Grantor.

Therefore using the same offering price, this would give the Series 5 Preferred shares the same value per share, $11.26756. In addition, Since Common Stock held was of equivalent value on the initial purchase, it is assumed that the value of the Common Stock Holdings are equal to the Preferred Holdings. EFTA00584041
