Butterfly 2013 Trust (GRAT)
Memorandum Regarding 12/31/14 Requirements
January 15, 2015
On December 31 2013, Jeffrey E. 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.

$5,000,000
Common Stock
1,260,233 Shares X $3.96792 = $5.000.000
Total Value at date of purchase and inception of GRAT at 12/31/13

During the latter part of 2014, there was a new AliphCom Series 6 Preferred Offering of Shares which
was sold to new purchasers at a share value of $11.26756 per share. 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.
