With respect to Part VII, line 12, my former law firm, Howard Rice et al., sometimes received additional or alternative compensation from clients m the form of equity interests in the client. At the end of each calendar year the firm would form a partnership to hold the equity interests so acquired during that year for the benefit of the equity holders in the law firm, and the various partnership entities listed in lines 5-13 of Part VII represent the Howard Rice partnerships in which | had an equity interest when 1 left the firm to become a Bankruptcy Judge. Tn general, | have assigned a fairly nominal "value" to my interests in these partnerships because, absent a liquidity event, they have little value per se. In the fall of 2015, one of the companies in which the firm had an equity interest that was held in the Howard Rice Investment Fund 08 had a liquidity event, and the successor law firm (Amold & Porter) received a distribution from the entity in the form of cash, that was then distributed to the holders of the equity interests in Howard Rice Investment Fund 08, | received a check from the firm in the approximate amount of $44,000 on November 17, 2015. This blessed and extraordinary result notwithstanding, the assets remaining in the 08 Fund, as well as the assets in the remaning Howard Rice Investment Funds, remain illiquid and therfore, in my mind, of uncertain but likely miniscule value, and 1 have not altered the year-end amount values for any of these investments. 2. With respect to Part VII, line |8, this asset refers to a liece of real property in Ventura, California in which my wife holds a one-third interest, along with her two sisters, via inheritance (it's their deceased mother’s former residence), The property is rented out to third parties, and my wife receives one-third of the rent received. The amount value for income received during the year 2015 decreased because the tenant at the commencement of the year moved out during the year, and the property was vacant (and no rent was generated) for several months during 2015. 3. With respect to Part VIL, lines 20 and 21, my wife simply closed out two Wells Fargo deposit accounts in May 2015, and moved the funds into Schwab Money Market Funds (see explanation of lines 27-31 below). 4. Wiih respect to Part VII, lines 27-31, these entries reflect two transucations involving the funds from the closing of the Wells Fargo deposit accounts referenced at "3" above. On May 6, 2015, my wife closed the Wells Fargo accounts and transferred the proceeds, about $27,000 to Schwab Money Market Fund (S&P 500 Index) SMWXX (line 28). Om August 3, 2015, my wife transferred about $5000 of the funds in Schwab Money Market Fund (S&P S00 Index) SMWXX to Schwab Money Market Fund (S&P 500 Index) SWPPX (lines 29 and 31). 5. With respect to Part VIL, lines 51 and 52, on December 18, 2015, the entity that manages the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan retirement account in which my wife has an interest transferred moneys that had been held for retirees in a "KP Growth Equity Fund” into a "Vanguard Prime Cap Fund Admiral” fund. 6. With respect to Part VII, line 69, in addition to the sales activity reported there, on September 24, 2014, ADP also spun off a division of its enterprise, and in the process acquired an interest in CDK Global. As a result of this spin-off, T obtained 4 small interest in CDK Global, which, while accurately reflected on line 171 of my 2015 Report, should have been reflected on my 2014 Report. The omission was completely inadvertent and 1 apologize for the error. 7. With respect to Part VII, line 172, I acquired my interest in Chevron on three dates during 2015, April 15 (50 shares), May 4 (75 shares), and November 1 (50 shares). Threse transactions are now reflected in Part VII, Jines 172-174. 1 have also corrected the aggregate value of the ineterest from Column "C™ "2" from "J" to "K". --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/disclosures/6485.
