2 KEVIN MULSHINE,
3 being first duly sworn in the above cause, was
4 examined and testified as follows:
5 EXAMINATION
6 BY MR. ANDERSEN:
7 Q Mr. Mulshine, will you just give us your
8 full name for the record, please.
9 A Kevin Patrick Mulshine.
10 Q And can you tell us your place of
11 employment.
12 A I'm a partner of MBS Capital Markets, LLC.
13 Q And thank you. Can you tell us your work
14 address?
15 A My what address?
16 Q Your business address?
17 A 8583 Strawberry Lane, Longmont, Colorado
18 80503.
19 Q Please tell us what you do with MBS
20 Capital Markets.
21 A With MBS Capital Markets I'm a partner
22 focused on investment banking to local governments
23 with particular focus on community development
24 districts.
25 Q And how long have you been doing that?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 6
1 A As a career for about 30 years. MBS was
2 founded in 2011.
3 Q And were you one of the founding partners?
4 A Correct.
5 Q And do you continue to be a partner today?
6 A Correct.
7 Q You use the acronym MBS. Is that what
8 most people refer to the company as?
9 A That's one acronym people use, yes.
10 Q Is it fair for me to use that today during
11 this deposition?
12 A That's fine.
13 Q Okay. Thank you again for being here.
14 Are you actually physically sitting somewhere in
15 Colorado?
16 A Yes. I'm sitting in the -- I'm sitting in
17 an office with Barbara in Boulder, Colorado.
18 Q Okay. And Barbara is the court reporter?
19 A Correct.
20 Q And did you receive a subpoena in this
21 lawsuit to give the testimony that you're giving
22 today?
23 A I received an original subpoena and then
24 John Waechter can speak to it. I received an
25 original one but then some dates were changed and so
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 7
1 I'm here today at the request.
2 Q And Mr. Waechter is the gentleman sitting
3 to my left, who is your attorney here today?
4 A Correct.
5 Q And you also provided documents in
6 response to the subpoena. Do you recall that?
7 A Correct.
8 Q And did you direct that production of
9 documents?
10 A I requested my compliance officer to put
11 the documents together and send them over.
12 Q Okay. And the documents that your
13 compliance officer sent over, was that what you would
14 consider to be your complete file with respect to the
15 -- the matters that are at issue in this lawsuit?
16 A Correct.
17 Q And when you say your compliance officer,
18 is that the compliance officer for the company MBS?
19 A Correct.
20 Q And so did you have a chance to look at
21 any of the documents that were sent to us and
22 produced in response to the subpoena?
23 A I looked at the fact that it was very
24 voluminous, but I did not go through each thing they
25 provided because the file was too thick.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 8
1 Q Okay. And did you receive the file
2 electronically like we did on our end?
3 A I have access to it electronically.
4 Q Okay. And did you have -- do you have --
5 any parts of that file did you receive in a printed
6 form?
7 A Not to my knowledge.
8 Q Okay. So between the time you got the
9 subpoena -- I'm not trying on ask a trick question.
10 But from the time you got the subpoena to today did
11 anyone print off any portion of that responsive
12 document collection and give you hard copies?
13 A No. They just tried to give me access
14 through a secure Dropbox.
15 Q Okay. And was that someone other than
16 your lawyer who gave you that access?
17 A It would be the people in my compliance
18 office.
19 Q Okay. And so did you have an opportunity
20 to go to that Dropbox and actually look at any of the
21 things in there?
22 A I filtered through just real quick just to
23 make sure that it was picking up things that I
24 thought obviously should be in there, but I didn't
25 review all the documents in there by any means. I
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 9
1 tried to get --
2 Q And were you able --
3 A I directed an all encompassing search for
4 everything to be -- for everything to be put in
5 there.
6 Q Okay. Thank you. And did you conclude
7 and confirm that that all encompassing search had
8 taken place and that the things that you expected to
9 be in there were in there?
10 A I can conclude that the search had taken
11 place and I reviewed the file and I was satisfied
12 that to my knowledge everything I expected to be in
13 there was in there.
14 Q Okay. Thank you. And then so have you
15 been a witness before in a deposition?
16 A Maybe 20 years ago.
17 Q Okay. Is there any reason -- do you have
18 any health issues or anything that prevents you from
19 testifying honestly and accurately here today?
20 A No.
21 Q Okay. And so I just want to make sure
22 that the documents that were produced are what you
23 would have in your files with respect to a matter
24 such as this.
25 A Uh-huh.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 10
1 Q Are they?
2 A Can you rephrase the question?
3 Q Okay. So let me ask it this way. The
4 electronic file that you kind of reviewed -- you
5 didn't look at each one but you reviewed it generally
6 to confirm that it's what you expected it to be.
7 A Uh-huh.
8 Q Is that typical of what you would find in
9 a regular file for a transaction such as this that
10 you would work on as you provide services to
11 community development districts?
12 A I would say it's more exhaustive.
13 Q And do you mean that it's a voluminous
14 file as opposed to a small file?
15 A No. It's just that from a regulatory
16 standpoint we are required to maintain documents for
17 various periods of time for transactions in
18 accordance with regulatory requirements. So when we
19 build files we'll build a file, but when I ask the
20 firm to give us anything that was related to this or
21 even had anything similar to it, I just think the
22 file that was sent over I just want to make sure
23 encompassed anything. Put it this way, it's a bigger
24 file than any other file I have.
25 Q Okay. So this is a bigger file than -- do
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 11
1 you have a separate file for this matter that you
2 would describe as your regulatory file?
3 A Not yet because we haven't closed the
4 transaction.
5 Q Okay. And so what I think I hear you
6 saying is we received, to the best of your knowledge,
7 everything in your file, not just things that would
8 be required to be in a regulatory file?
9 A Correct.
10 Q Okay. And do you have a partner named
11 Rhonda Mossing?
12 A Yes.
13 Q And did she work on this transaction with
14 you?
15 A She supported on me on this transaction.
16 I'm the lead on the transaction but she's worked on
17 it.
18 Q And I noticed in the production of
19 documents that you provided all documents for MBS,
20 which included documents that appear to be from
21 Rhonda Mossing; is that correct?
22 A Correct.
23 Q And so in the files that were produced
24 electronically there appear to be, for example, an
25 email file that was related to Kevin Mulshine and an
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 12
1 email file that was related to Rhonda Mossing. Those
2 were just two of the files. Do you recall those two?
3 A I don't recall which files they were, but
4 I do recall making sure that we included all emails
5 from either Rhonda or myself or anybody in the firm
6 for that matter.
7 Q Okay. And so is it -- are the documents
8 that you produced, and particularly the stack of
9 documents that's sitting in front of you that's
10 marked Exhibits 153 through 162, are they records
11 that are kept in the regular course of your business?
12 A I haven't looked at what your exhibits
13 are, so I have no idea.
14 Q Okay. Well, let me just limit my question
15 to the documents that you produced on the electronic
16 file in response to our subpoena. Are those records
17 that are kept in the regular course of your business?
18 A Can you explain? When you say kept, for
19 how long? When you said keep, as I say, we have
20 regulatory files. We have some other files. But we
21 don't keep every piece of data. A lot of this data I
22 would not keep because it's irrelevant to the
23 regulatory file and becomes irrelevant to the deal.
24 Q Okay. And what parts are -- become
25 irrelevant?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 13
1 A Well, are you asking me a hypothetical
2 what would become irrelevant on a particular
3 transaction?
4 Q For those documents that you produced.
5 A For this transaction?
6 Q Yes.
7 A If you're talking about this specific
8 transaction, six years from now, a distribution list,
9 for instance, would be irrelevant, and that's just an
10 example. Or the third draft of a 17 draft
11 distribution list would be irrelevant.
12 Q Okay. Is it a regular practice in your
13 business to exchange the documents that you've given
14 to us with the distribution list that you just
15 described?
16 A Is it normal for us to do what?
17 Q To exchange the documents that you
18 produced in this case to the distribution list, to
19 the people that received those documents in the
20 course of transaction?
21 A Well, I'm kind of confused by the wording
22 of that. But sometimes we will have a document that
23 we will just send out to the distribution list. For
24 instance, if this became a bond issue we'd send a
25 pricing list to the full distribution list, but we
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 14
1 don't send everything to the full distribution list.
2 Q Okay. All right. Well, I was trying to
3 create a couple of shortcuts with respect to the
4 documents that I have marked in front of you.
5 A Sure.
6 Q And with respect to the documents that you
7 produced to understand whether you keep those
8 documents during the course of your business and
9 whether it's a regular practice in your business to
10 have documents like that and to store them
11 electronically and to keep them. But if we can't do
12 it kind of whole I can do it with respect to
13 individual documents. Can you speak to those as a
14 whole?
15 A You asked me to produce documents and we
16 produced everything that was in accordance with this
17 transaction. We did that because we have to save
18 every email that goes through our firm. That's a
19 regulatory requirement of ours. So anything that was
20 produced or sent was subject to the -- what we tried
21 to gather for you.
22 Q And so tell me about that regulatory
23 requirement to save every email and the attachments
24 to those emails.
25 A Can I ask for my counsel to help me with
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 15
1 that one?
2 THE WITNESS: John?
3 MR. WAECHTER: Yeah. If you want me to
4 answer the question, I mean, I think there may be
5 some confusion here about, you know, you're asking
6 what he keeps in the ordinary course of business.
7 He's thinking that's a record retention requirement.
8 I'm not sure that's what you're driving at. I think
9 maybe what you're asking is are these produced in the
10 ordinary course of business and maintained in the
11 ordinary course of business. Do I understand you
12 correctly?
13 MR. ANDERSEN: Yes.
14 MR. WAECHTER: And it's not a question of
15 how many years do you have to keep it. You're using
16 the word keep and I think he's expecting that to mean
17 how many years or what are the regulatory
18 requirements for record retention. I think that may
19 be different than what you're asking, which may be
20 more along the lines of are these produced in the
21 ordinary course of business. Do I understand that
22 correctly?
23 MR. ANDERSEN: Yes. And maintained in the
24 ordinary course of business.
25 MR. WAECHTER: Maybe you can phrase the
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 16
1 question that way.
2 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Are the documents that
3 you produced in this case things that you produced in
4 the ordinary course of your business and that you
5 have maintained with respect to this transaction in
6 the ordinary course of your business?
7 A Correct. Yes.
8 Q Okay. And is that a regular practice of
9 your business to do that with each -- with respect to
10 each transaction?
11 A Yes. It's good practice.
12 Q Okay. And then is it your understanding
13 that the -- each person who created a document and
14 attached it to an email and sent it to you or anyone
15 in your firm, MBS, who created a document, attached
16 it onto an email and sent it out from your firm was a
17 person who had knowledge of the subject matter and
18 the information that are in the documents that they
19 were sending?
20 A I think that would be too broad. For
21 instance, if I have an assistant send a file out for
22 me and I say -- if I call somebody from an airport
23 and say, will you email out the distribution list to
24 the distribution team, I might ask a secretary to do
25 it. She doesn't have knowledge of the deal, but it's
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 17
1 -- was captured in your -- in what we -- in what we
2 got for you.
3 Q Okay. Did you have -- with respect to the
4 documents that you produced in this case, did you
5 ever receive a document or send a document that you
6 thought was kind of irregular or out of the usual
7 course or was not something that kind of fit with the
8 way you transact these type of transactions?
9 A Nothing comes to mind.
10 Q And so pursuant to that regulatory
11 requirement that you described earlier, is it true
12 that you do keep -- your company does keep and
13 maintain all the emails that you receive or that your
14 company receives with respect to any given
15 transaction?
16 A I can say this. We have a retention
17 requirement. I couldn't give you -- I couldn't
18 recite the particulars of that.
19 Q Okay.
20 A But we do have to maintain and every email
21 is maintained.
22 Q And all the -- and all the attachments to
23 those emails?
24 A Correct.
25 Q And with respect to this transaction
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 18
1 because it hasn't been completed yet, is it accurate
2 to say that there are no emails that have been
3 discarded or that are not continuing to be maintained
4 at this point?
5 A That would be a correct statement.
6 Q Okay. And so can you tell me who is it
7 that you or that MBS represents in this transaction?
8 A We have -- MBS serves as an investment
9 banker hired by the Poinciana and Poinciana West
10 Community Development Districts.
11 Q And what is your role in the transaction?
12 A Well, if you have -- somewhere in here you
13 have your investment banking agreement, but it's to
14 help them structure their bond issues, try to get
15 ratings on bond issues, and ultimately we provide the
16 capital that purchases the bonds from the district
17 for sale via public offerings.
18 Q Okay. And are you familiar with a company
19 called Environmental Financial Group?
20 A I know them, yes.
21 Q And who are they?
22 A Well, I met two of their representatives
23 and they provide valuation and feasibility services
24 to local governments that have cash flow operation
25 facilities or enterprise funds.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 19
1 MR. ANDERSEN: And could I ask the court
2 reporter to read back that answer.
3 (Last answer was read.)
4 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) And who are those two
5 representatives?
6 A Scott Harder and Howard Osterman.
7 Q How long have you known Mr. Harder?
8 A I may have met Mr. Harder about 25 years
9 ago, but -- I may have met him 25 years ago a few
10 times, but I probably haven't seen him for about 10
11 or 15 years until this transaction.
12 Q Okay. Have you ever worked on a
13 transaction before with Mr. Harder?
14 A I believe I have. I couldn't even tell
15 you which one it was.
16 Q Do you know, was it an amenities
17 facilities transaction?
18 A I honestly couldn't even tell you what it
19 was.
20 Q Was it in the state of Florida?
21 A It was either in the state of Florida or
22 it was in the state of California. It was one of the
23 two.
24 Q Okay. And is it -- how long ago was that
25 transaction where you worked together?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 20
1 A I'm guessing 10 or 15 years -- I'm totally
2 guessing 10 or 15 years ago.
3 Q Okay. And then when were you reacquainted
4 with him with respect to this transaction?
5 A Right about the time I got hired by the
6 district.
7 Q March of 2016?
8 A I don't know the date that he got hired by
9 the district but it was right before they hired by
10 the district.
11 Q Was it in conjunction with a meeting of
12 the districts that you met him --
13 A Correct.
14 Q -- or that you became reacquainted with
15 him?
16 A Yes.
17 Q Okay. And how about Mr. Osterman, how
18 long have you known him?
19 A I've known Howard for maybe since about
20 1989.
21 Q And in what context did you meet
22 Mr. Osterman?
23 A I was working as an underwriter and he was
24 a valuation consultant for something called the
25 Seacoast Utility Authority.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 21
1 Q And where is that located?
2 A Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
3 Q And how long have you worked on
4 transactions with Mr. Osterman?
5 A Well, I've worked on 2 billion of utility
6 acquisitions over my 30 years and probably 500
7 million of them Howard has had some involvement with
8 it before he had involvement with EFG.
9 Q Okay. Did you say $2 billion of utility
10 acquisitions?
11 A Yes.
12 Q And you said that Mr. Osterman was
13 involved with approximately 500 million of that?
14 A I'd say roughly a quarter. That's a
15 ballpark guess.
16 Q And how long has Mr. Osterman been
17 affiliated with EFG?
18 A I would not know the answer to that.
19 Q Okay. To your knowledge, how long have
20 you known him to be affiliated with EFG?
21 A Since right before they got hired by the
22 district.
23 Q Okay. Was it your understanding that he
24 was new with EFG at that time?
25 A It was my under- -- Howard is in his 80s.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 22
1 It was my understanding originally he had retired
2 and -- but when I found out he wasn't retired, that's
3 when I found out he was working with EFG. Exactly
4 when I found that out I really couldn't tell you.
5 And I apologize.
6 Q Who was he with --
7 A Let me just clarify one thing. You did
8 ask about health issues. I do have -- as somebody
9 who has had very heavy chemo in my past I do have
10 issues trying to remember things three years ago or
11 conversations like that, so . . .
12 Q Okay. Is that affecting you today in any
13 way that's different than any other day in your
14 business life?
15 A No. It just affects my long-term memory
16 at times. That's all.
17 Q Okay. Thank you for clarifying that. Do
18 you know who Mr. Osterman was with prior to joining
19 EFG?
20 A You know, I can answer the beginning of
21 his career. I can't answer the middle because I
22 haven't worked with him for about ten years before we
23 did -- we did the -- we worked together on Poinciana.
24 When I originally worked for him he was working with
25 something called DUS Utilities.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 23
1 Q Okay. And do you know what Mr. Osterman's
2 role is with EFG, role with the company?
3 A It's my understanding that he provides
4 strategy to Scott in trying to facilitate an
5 acquisition.
6 Q Do you know whether he's a partner with
7 the company?
8 A I do not know that.
9 Q Do you know how he's compensated with
10 respect to this transaction?
11 A I have no -- I do not know.
12 Q Okay. And do you know what Mr. Scott
13 Harder's role is with EFG?
14 A I honestly can't comment on their roles at
15 their firm.
16 Q Okay. Do you know whether he's a partner
17 in the firm or an owner?
18 A That would be an assumption, but I don't
19 have anything that says he's the owner, you know.
20 Q So you assume that he is but you don't
21 know it?
22 A Yeah. I can't confirm that.
23 Q Okay. But is that an assumption that
24 you've made in the past that Mr. Harder is the owner
25 of EFG?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 24
1 A It's not really an assumption that I've
2 needed to make. So he was the representative for EFG
3 trying to work on this transaction. It's an
4 assumption I would make, but it's not an assumption
5 that I have to make.
6 Q Do you know how many employees the company
7 has, EFG?
8 A No, I do not.
9 Q Okay. Can you tell me what their role was
10 on this transaction that's at issue in this lawsuit?
11 A You're saying what's their role -- what's
12 their role for the district or what's their role in
13 this lawsuit? Because, you know . . .
14 Q What was their role for the district in
15 the transaction?
16 A Their role for the district was to help
17 develop a feasibility for the acquisition of the
18 system. I believe their role was to assist in
19 negotiating the purchase of the system and
20 determining the final price of the system.
21 Q And what are you referring to as the
22 system?
23 A The club plan.
24 Q Do you know how the districts were
25 introduced to EFG?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 25
1 A I don't know exactly. I know the manager
2 wanted to get some RFPs and the manager sought out
3 some RFPs. That's Gary Moyer's role.
4 Q Gary Moyer is the district manager?
5 A Correct.
6 Q And did you introduce EFG to the
7 districts?
8 A As I say, you'd have to really go into --
9 that's the district manager with their RFP process.
10 Honestly, I don't know exactly how EFG ended up
11 submitting an application.
12 Q Okay.
13 A I believe -- according to the district
14 manager I believe there were three or four firms that
15 submitted applications.
16 Q Okay. And when you say that their role
17 was to help develop a feasibility, what does that
18 mean?
19 A It means when a district sets forth
20 financial objectives for the operation of a system,
21 they have to set up the formulas and the purchase
22 price and the projects to make sure that the
23 objectives of the district are achieved.
24 Q And it's your understanding that the
25 district hired EFG to do that in this case?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 26
1 A That's my understanding. Although I don't
2 have EFG's contract. It's probably in my file
3 somewhere if they sent it to me, but I would assume
4 that was their -- what they're there for.
5 Q Am I correct that your firm would be
6 prohibited from providing to the district the
7 services that EFG provided with respect to this
8 transaction because of its role -- your firm's role
9 as the underwriter?
10 A I'd probably want to consult with my
11 attorney before asking a question on what our
12 regulatory responsibilities are. It's not something
13 that we considered.
14 Q Okay. Has your firm ever served as a
15 valuation or feasibility consultant on a transaction
16 where you were also serving as the underwriter?
17 A Not to my knowledge.
18 Q Is that something that would be prohibited
19 based upon your practice or your understanding of
20 requirements governing your business?
21 A I honestly, as we sit here today, couldn't
22 speak to what FINRA or the SEC requirements are on
23 that.
24 Q But it's something you've never done?
25 A No.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 27
1 Q That was a backwards question. I should
2 ask it a different way. Have you ever provided
3 valuation or feasibility services on a transaction in
4 which your company was the underwriter?
5 A Not to my knowledge.
6 Q Do you have an understanding that the firm
7 Fishkind & Associates also had a role in this
8 transaction or has a role in this transaction?
9 A Yes, but it would be hard for me to
10 clarify exactly what their role is.
11 Q Okay. Are you familiar with the -- the
12 role of an assessment methodology consultant?
13 A Correct.
14 Q Is that how you would describe their role
15 in this case?
16 A That's how I would describe their role
17 that I'm aware of. As I say, I don't have their
18 contract as well to know all the services they're
19 providing to the district. They provide a broad
20 array of services to various districts, but I believe
21 in this one the context we dealt with them in is in
22 the setting of the assessments.
23 Q And do you know how it is that the
24 districts came to work with Fishkind & Associates as
25 their assessment methodology consultant?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 28
1 A I could not elaborate on that. I do not
2 know.
3 Q Okay. Do you know -- do you have
4 relationships with any professionals at Fishkind &
5 Associates?
6 A You know, we've dealt with them. To be
7 clear, our firm and our partners and over the history
8 have -- and our predecessor firms have underwritten
9 about 70 percent of the CD bonds in the state, so
10 we've worked with everybody. But the relationship
11 with Fishkind is probably more -- is not -- we don't
12 have any kind of a close relationship. In fact, to
13 be disclosed, Rhonda Mossing's husband, Darin
14 Mossing, is the owner of -- is a major partner in GMS
15 Governmental Services -- GMS Governmental Management
16 Services which is the largest competitor of
17 Fishkind's business, so . . .
18 Q And when you say 70 percent of the CD
19 bonds in the state of Florida, can you quantify that
20 in terms of kind of numbers of deals and dollar
21 volumes generally.
22 A Well, since the 1980s there have been
23 somewhere around -- in the neighborhood of 15
24 million. That's a ballpark figure -- 15 billion
25 issued. And the firm I worked at before this, Prager
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 29
1 Sealy, and -- between that and our new firm we've
2 underwritten roughly $11 billion.
3 Q Do you know -- can you roughly estimate
4 the number of transactions that you've done in
5 Florida.
6 A I couldn't even ballpark it.
7 Q Okay. Were those numbers, 15 billion
8 and 11 billion, were those Florida numbers, Florida
9 specific?
10 A Yes.
11 Q And I think you mentioned a company Prager
12 Sealy. And is it accurate to say that the -- what is
13 MBS Capital Markets, LLC today was previously --
14 could be fairly described as the entire land secured
15 finance group of Prager Sealy and Company, LLC?
16 A I would say a number of professionals from
17 Prager Sealy left and formed MBS Capital Markets.
18 MBS Capital Markets, the founding partners were only
19 Ed Bulleit and myself. It was only two people. We
20 hired more people. Some of them came from Prager
21 Sealy. Some of them came from other firms.
22 Q Okay. And was that in 2011 that that
23 occurred?
24 A If you have it there -- that sounds about
25 right, but I thought we started in 2010. It could
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 30
1 have been in 2011.
2 Q And so are you familiar with Hank
3 Fishkind, the principal owner of Fishkind &
4 Associates?
5 A I'm familiar with him. I'm familiar with
6 his work.
7 Q Okay. How long have you known him?
8 A I've probably known his name for 25,
9 30 years, but it would be generous if I said I've
10 seen him ten times in my life.
11 Q How about Kevin Plenzler? How long have
12 you known him?
13 A Since we started on this transaction.
14 Q You had never work with him before?
15 A I don't have a recollection of working
16 with him before. If there's a distribution list on
17 some other deal where he was providing some kind of a
18 service he could have been helping put together
19 methodology for Fishkind on another transaction that
20 I worked on, but I just don't remember working with
21 him prior to this transaction.
22 Q Okay. Has your firm ever provided
23 assessment methodology consulting services to a
24 district?
25 A Not to my knowledge.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 31
1 Q Is it accurate to say that based upon your
2 role as underwriter, that your firm would not provide
3 assessment methodology consulting services in the
4 same -- in the same transaction that you're serving
5 as the underwriter?
6 A I would say that our firm would not be --
7 would not serve as the assessment -- as the
8 assessment consultant who sets the assessments.
9 Q Okay. Is it -- are you making a
10 distinction there in your answer from the question
11 that I asked?
12 A Well, because -- and I'm trying to read
13 back your question in my mind but it was about
14 providing services. We support the methodology
15 consultant because the methodology consultant will
16 ask us what a projected interest rate might be or
17 what projected debt service might be so they can run
18 their numbers and figure out what an annual
19 assessment cap should be. So we provide support to
20 it, but we're not the author and we never testify in
21 that role, to my knowledge.
22 Q So with respect to the -- this transaction
23 and the system that you described as the club plan,
24 can you describe what you understand this transaction
25 is accomplishing.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 32
1 A The plan -- the -- what this system is
2 accomplishing is an acquisition by the two districts
3 of all of the club plan assets and thus also the
4 revenue that goes along with it.
5 Q What do you mean by "and thus also the
6 revenue that goes along with it"?
7 A The club fees and O&M charges.
8 Q And what do you mean when you say the club
9 plan assets?
10 A The assets that are operated by the club.
11 I know there's a couple of exclusions, the golf
12 course, et cetera, but generally the club assets. I
13 also know we were asked within the context of that to
14 finance 11 to $12 million of new facilities for the
15 district.
16 Q Okay. And that financing of new
17 facilities, that's -- is that -- that's not part of
18 the asset sale and purchase agreement that is being
19 sold by the club owner to the districts, is it?
20 A I'm not the one to answer that, whether
21 it's improvements upon the land that's coming over.
22 I don't know. That's really outside my field. I
23 just know that the bond people were asked to size it
24 so we can provide 11 to $12 million in construction
25 funds for new facilities as determined by the
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 33
1 district.
2 Q And is that 11 to 12 million going to be
3 put in a construction fund under the bond indenture?
4 A That's the anticipation.
5 Q Is there anything that might alter that
6 anticipation that you're aware of in this
7 transaction?
8 A No.
9 Q So when you refer to the club plan assets
10 -- and I understand you qualified that with some
11 property as being excluded and not sold to the
12 districts, but is there anything other than real
13 property and improvements that you're referring to
14 there?
15 A Well, you're starting to get into an area
16 that is not my expertise, which is the whole issue of
17 being able to terminate the club fees in lieu of a
18 new assessment that will be replacing those, which
19 would be --
20 Q Well, your first answer kind of divided
21 it. You had acquisition of all the club plan assets
22 and then you said and the revenue --
23 A Right.
24 Q -- that's associated with those.
25 A Right.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 34
1 Q And what I'm trying to drill down on is
2 what are the assets that it's your understanding that
3 the districts are going to receive? Is it anything
4 other than real property and improvements?
5 A Honestly, I'd have to look. If you want
6 me to look in the PSA I'll look if it, but, you know,
7 I couldn't answer that question right now.
8 Q The asset sale purchase agreement?
9 A Correct.
10 Q Okay. And you mentioned the termination
11 of the club plan. Could you explain that.
12 A It is my understanding that what we've
13 been asked by the district is to -- is to underwrite
14 bonds that will be secured by annual assessments that
15 will be lower than what is currently charged to the
16 residents in accordance with the club plan and the
17 deed restrictions that go with it.
18 Q And what is your understanding of what
19 happens to the club plan at the consummation of the
20 transaction that's being financed?
21 A Honestly, that's a question for district
22 counsel.
23 Q Well, is it your understanding that the
24 club plan is terminating and will no longer exist?
25 A It's my understanding that the district
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 35
1 will be assessing the residents in lieu of charging a
2 club plan. Whether that means legally that a club
3 plan is terminated is not for me to decide.
4 Q So you don't know whether the club plan is
5 being terminated?
6 A No, I do not.
7 Q Do you have an understanding of what the
8 purchase price is going to be under the asset sale
9 and purchase agreement?
10 A I have a general ballpark figure, but it
11 was subject to so many adjustments -- and the last
12 time I worked on this transaction was nine months
13 ago, so it really is getting -- I can speak in
14 general numbers, but I really couldn't get into exact
15 numbers unless, you know, you have them. But they're
16 in the PSA, I believe.
17 Q Is the number -- go ahead. I'm sorry.
18 A No. Whatever you have in the PSA I'm sure
19 is the number.
20 Q Yeah. I was going to ask if the
21 number $73.7 million dollars, which is the purchase
22 price as defined in the asset sale and purchase
23 agreement and in the October 2016 EFG report, if you
24 recall that that that's the purchase price for the
25 asset acquisition.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 36
1 A If you say it's in the PSA I'll take your
2 word for it that that's the number. I just remember
3 the PSA was subject to a lot of adjustments, so I
4 didn't lock down a number.
5 Q Okay. Have you or anyone at your firm
6 attempted to estimate whether that purchase price is
7 -- represents fair value for the assets being
8 acquired by the districts?
9 A No.
10 Q Do you or anybody at your firm have an
11 opinion as to what the fair value is for the assets
12 that are being acquired by the districts?
13 A No. My only opinion is that it's positive
14 for the district because everybody's rates are going
15 to go down, they're going to be capped and they're
16 getting a lot more facilities for the same price.
17 Q Do you know whose idea it was for -- well,
18 do you know who the seller is of the assets that are
19 being sold to the districts?
20 A I'd imagine it's an AV related entity. I
21 don't know if it's AV itself or a sub or something
22 like that, but it's some entity that I'm sure is
23 under the control of AV Homes.
24 Q If I suggested that it might be Avatar
25 Properties, Inc., are you familiar with that company?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 37
1 A Yes.
2 Q Okay. Do you believe that's the current
3 club owner under the club plan?
4 A If that's -- it was in the PSA. As I say,
5 I've seen different things with different things with
6 AV entities. Like with my builder, they have various
7 names for things. I have not separately checked to
8 see what the title is on every asset.
9 MR. ANDERSEN: Okay. And I'm going to ask
10 the court reporter could you go back a few answers
11 back where Mr. Mulshine started with, My only
12 opinion, and read that to me.
13 (Requested answer was read.)
14 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) And I just want to
15 follow up that answer where you said that your only
16 opinion is that it's positive for the districts.
17 Would you agree with me that if the purchase price
18 were based upon the appraised value of $19,000,250
19 that the transaction would be even more positive for
20 the districts?
21 A If they could -- you're asking a
22 hypothetical question and you're saying that if AV
23 Homes would sell -- so you're asking, okay, for
24 $19 million would it be better for the district?
25 Q Yes, that's the question.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 38
1 A If you want to hold all those
2 hypotheticals I guess that would be correct.
3 Q Okay. And have you seen the commercial
4 appraisal done by Mike McElveen with Urban Economics
5 on the assets that are being acquired by the
6 district?
7 A No, I have not.
8 Q Did anybody send that to you attached to
9 an email?
10 A No. And if they did I didn't read it.
11 Q Okay. Are you aware that there is a
12 commercial appraisal of the property or the assets
13 being acquired by the districts that appraises the
14 fee simple interest at $19,250,000?
15 A I am not aware of that.
16 Q Okay. So when you said your only opinion
17 is that it's positive for the districts, you're not
18 suggesting that the purchase price of 73.7 million
19 represents any type of fair value for the assets that
20 are being acquired, are you?
21 A I'm saying that if somebody who is now
22 56 years old, so I can legally move into that
23 community, I'd have a higher propensity to move into
24 the community after the district acquires and
25 completes its transaction so that I get some rate
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 39
1 relief and get to use more assets.
2 Q What do you mean by rate relief?
3 A Lower rates, pay less for the facilities.
4 Pay less than the club plan.
5 Q Can you explain how that rate relief is
6 accomplished by this transaction.
7 A It's accomplished in a couple of ways.
8 When we met with the district and we went over the
9 current -- the current deed restriction and agreement
10 on the houses, the rates go up by $1 per month per
11 year for all residents. They went up in 2017. This
12 transaction capped the rates at the 2016 level to
13 issue and it would be financed by 30 years bonds.
14 Those bonds we would be capping. And we did
15 implement an assessment that is lower than the club
16 fee going into the forward -- into the future.
17 So therefore it's a stagnant fee that goes
18 away in 30 years versus an accelerating fee that's
19 higher. So yes, they save money that way.
20 Q Do you have any information about whether
21 the -- what you described as the current deed
22 restriction in the club plan is legal under Florida
23 law?
24 MR. WAECHTER: I'll object to that. It's
25 asking for a legal interpretation.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 40
1 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Has anybody told you
2 whether that's legal or illegal under Florida law
3 other than your own lawyer?
4 A The question has never come up in my mind.
5 Q If it was determined that the deed
6 restriction created by the club plan is illegal under
7 Florida law, could MBS continue with this transaction
8 as it's currently designed?
9 A I can't answer that today.
10 Q Would you agree that the club membership
11 fee under the club plan represents -- at least going
12 forward it represents the future profit to Avatar
13 Properties under the club plan?
14 A I honestly don't know about Avatar
15 Properties' books, how they account for it, what
16 expenses they have, so I really do not. I can't
17 speak to that.
18 Q Have you ever seen a budget for the club
19 plan?
20 A I've seen budgets for the club plan, but I
21 was reviewing them in context of when making sure
22 that when we're dealing with districts staff, making
23 sure that they could establish a budget that would
24 sufficiently fund all operation expenses. I wasn't
25 looking at it for AV's benefit or looking at it from
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 41
1 a profit stability standpoint for AV Homes.
2 Q Do you know what year those budgets that
3 you looked at were related to?
4 A I just remember in general. I remember
5 they were pretty recent. So if it was 2016 we were
6 probably looking at 2015 budgets and actuals. I may
7 have a 2016 budget. I don't know.
8 Q Did you have any -- did you or your firm
9 have any role in assisting with creating budgets for
10 the districts going forward after the acquisition of
11 the assets?
12 A Not to my knowledge.
13 Q Do you know who did assist with creating
14 those budgets?
15 A Well, I believe that falls on staff and
16 EFG.
17 Q Okay. Staff and EFG, or would that be
18 Fishkind & Associates?
19 A Well, I believe Fishkind's role was mostly
20 in just the debt service assessments, but, once
21 again, I don't have their contract so I don't know
22 what everybody's scope was. It could have been
23 Fishkind. They could also provide that kind of
24 service.
25 Q Do you recall -- well, would you agree --
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 42
1 strike that. Let me start that one over.
2 Would you agree that this transaction is
3 designed to pay to Avatar Properties a cash payment
4 at the closing that's based upon 30 years of profit
5 that they would have received under the club plan?
6 A I wouldn't state it that way.
7 Q Can you explain it in your own words.
8 A I would explain it by saying the district
9 asked us to figure out how much money can be produced
10 off of the 2016 rates if it supported a bond issue
11 that goes away in 30 years and never went up so the
12 escalator was eliminated and how much that would
13 produce so that they could figure out all their
14 deducts for capital improvements and everything else.
15 Q Was there anything else to that
16 calculation?
17 A That's our role in the calculation.
18 Q Would you agree that the actual value of
19 the assets being transferred has nothing to do with
20 what you just described?
21 A I wouldn't agree with that.
22 Q Why not?
23 A Because I believe it's the district's --
24 the district hired a valuation consult and everything
25 to figure out what the system is worth to them.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 43
1 Q Worth to the districts?
2 A Yes, what is it worth to the districts and
3 to the residents.
4 Q Okay. You described -- do you have a
5 specialty within underwriting public finance
6 transactions that involves utility systems?
7 A I did. I worked on a lot of them.
8 Q And so can you explain how those
9 transactions work just briefly and generally.
10 A Briefly and generally a local government
11 wants to acquire a private utility system and they
12 have to negotiate a purchase price. And that
13 negotiation can happen a number of different ways and
14 it's happened all different ways. And we are asked
15 to issue the bond to finance it for them.
16 Q And am I correct that this purchase of
17 this club plan, that your firm views that as a
18 similar type of transaction as purchasing a utility
19 system?
20 A No. I view every acquisition different.
21 I really do.
22 Q When you run the numbers to support the
23 acquisition of a utility system, do you use an income
24 approach?
25 A I don't run the numbers. We do the bond
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 44
1 side of it. Usually a feasibility consultant runs
2 the numbers.
3 Q A company like EFG?
4 A Yeah. But there's a number of them.
5 There's three or four.
6 Q Who are the others?
7 A Public Resources Management Group. Also,
8 a lot of large engineering firms have that capacity.
9 I'd image CH2M Hill still has that capacity.
10 Q Any others that you can think of?
11 A Not off the top of my head. The last
12 utility acquisition I did was probably ten years ago.
13 Q In those transactions are the valuation
14 firms -- are they valuing an income stream that will
15 continue after the transaction?
16 A Normally that's one of the factors they
17 have to look at.
18 Q Can you explain that.
19 A Well, the only thing I can explain is when
20 a government acquires something and takes something
21 over that people are already paying for, there's
22 always a lot of political importance on being able to
23 maintain or reduce rates in that system. So that's
24 where the income stream becomes very important. It
25 would be very unpopular for a government to buy a
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 45
1 utility system and raise the rates on day one.
2 Q Do they base the purchase price on the
3 rates that are going to be collected after the
4 transaction?
5 A As I say, I think that's one of the
6 factors, but, once again, I've also seen, you know,
7 many different kinds of transactions, so . . .
8 Q Have you ever been involved in a utility
9 system transaction where the utility system is being
10 shut down after the transaction is consummated?
11 A I've had a few where some of the assets
12 were going to be shut down because there were
13 synergies but not -- you can't shut down a utility
14 system because you can't deny people service.
15 Q Do you have an opinion as to whether the
16 club plan income is going to continue after the
17 transaction in this case?
18 A I don't have an opinion. I have an
19 understanding that after the acquisition is done an
20 assessment will go in place, 30-year fixed assessment
21 that will replace the fixed charge in the club plan.
22 Q And what is that assessment based on?
23 A The assessment is based upon they asked us
24 to run numbers which had a purchase price and $11
25 million in improvements and said 30 years level debt
AB Court Reporting & Video

1 service, and we -- based upon what we think the
2 market is and we set the numbers.
3 Q And is it accurate to say that MBS did
4 that?
5 A MBS did the numbers runs. MBS projects
6 the market rates, the interest rates on the bonds.
7 Q Were you familiar with a debate between
8 having open access, the gate access in the community
9 versus not having gate -- open gate access to the
10 community?
11 A I was familiar with the issue because it
12 came up on bond calls.
13 Q And is it your understanding that in order
14 to use tax exempt bond proceeds to finance the
15 transaction, that there would have to be a gate
16 protocol that required access to the public?
17 A My only understanding on it is that -- as
18 I sit here today is that the district counsel worked
19 with bond counsel on issues that are both IRS,
20 federal tax law issues and state law issues and came
21 to some kind of a policy that was acceptable to the
22 district.
23 Q And were you part of the debate about
24 whether to issue taxable bonds as opposed to tax
25 exempt bonds?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 47
1 A Well, we were asked our opinion, you know,
2 what would the impact of that be. So we run numbers
3 on taxable, I think.
4 Q And what -- can you describe what the
5 impact of that would be.
6 A I don't have it right in front of me but
7 interest rates are higher for taxable bonds.
8 Q And what affect would that have on the
9 purchase price?
10 A I'm not involved in negotiations so I
11 don't know if it stays the same and rates go up or
12 rates go down and the price goes down. So that's
13 something that would have to be negotiated.
14 Q Okay. But is it true that in order to
15 come up with a $73.7 million purchase price that both
16 in your numbers and in EFG's numbers you used a
17 discount rate that was equal to the tax exempt bond
18 rate that the districts were predicted to pay under
19 the bond transaction?
20 A I would agree with that.
21 Q And would you also agree that if you were
22 going to issue taxable bonds that you would have used
23 the corresponding higher interest rates for the
24 taxable bonds that would have resulted in a much
25 lower purchase price if you used the same methodology
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 48
1 that both you and EFG used in running your numbers?
2 A Well, as I say, I'm not a negotiator. If
3 you want to ask me mathematically if there's a
4 constant revenue stream at a higher interest rate,
5 does that reduce the proceeds, the answer to that is
6 yes. How that gets negotiated and allocated between
7 improvements and credits and purchase price is
8 something that's up to the negotiating team. It's
9 not up to me.
10 Q Isn't it true that AV Homes insisted you
11 using tax exempt bond financing so that the purchase
12 price could be higher under the methodology that both
13 you and EFG was using?
14 A I don't know that.
15 Q What were your discussions with anyone at
16 AV Homes on that issue?
17 A I probably said it's more effective and
18 more beneficial for the district to be able to issue
19 tax exempt bonds.
20 Q More beneficial to the districts or more
21 beneficial to AV Homes?
22 A More beneficial to the district.
23 Q Explain that, please.
24 A More flexibility. It's a more liquid
25 market, better refunding opportunities.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 49
1 Q Any negatives to the district?
2 A Taxable bonds? I can't think of any off
3 the top of my head.
4 Q How about negatives to using tax except
5 bond financing?
6 A You know, except for district counsel and
7 bond counsel having to issue with the gate protocol
8 issue, that was the only thing I could think of.
9 Q So the districts had to sacrifice the
10 private community and agree to that level of public
11 access under the gate protocol that you described in
12 order to issue tax exempt bond?
13 A I think you're saying districts sac- -- I
14 don't know. I couldn't tell if you the district
15 sacrificed anything. As I say, that's a district
16 counsel question.
17 Q How many transactions have you worked on
18 with AV Homes in the past?
19 A At MBA, I think 0. I think the only thing
20 I know off the top of my head that we financed for AV
21 Homes was back when they were called Avatar when we
22 did the original Poinciana financings. We've done
23 more financings for these districts in the form of
24 refundings, but that was not when AV Homes was
25 involved.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 50
1 And I'd like to clarify we never do work
2 for AV Homes. We do work for the districts. They
3 may be -- AV Homes in certain instances may be the
4 sponsor of a district, which was in this case, but
5 our work is for the district.
6 Q Have you worked with respect to any other
7 districts other than Poinciana ACDD and Poinciana
8 West CDD where AV Homes or its related entities were
9 the sponsor?
10 A I honestly don't remember any. Maybe
11 there was one a long, long time ago, but I honestly
12 don't remember any.
13 Q How long have you known Tony Iorio?
14 A I first met him, I think, back when we did
15 the original transaction which might have been in the
16 early 2000s and then became reacquainted again when
17 we were working on a refinishing last year and when
18 this issue came up.
19 Q How would you describe your relationship
20 with Mr. Iorio?
21 A Working professional relationship.
22 Q How often are you in communication with
23 him?
24 A When they had a lot of questions on how
25 bonds work and everything it was maybe a couple of
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 51
1 times a week, but I probably went five years without
2 talking to him before that.
3 Q Would you agree that this transaction
4 started to get off the ground in or around November
5 of 2015?
6 A I honestly couldn't tell you the exact
7 time it got off the ground.
8 Q Have you ever had any social interaction
9 with Mr. Iorio?
10 A You know, we've never gone on a trip
11 together or anything like that. We may have had
12 lunch before a meeting or something like that, but
13 always within the context of work. We don't exchange
14 Christmas cards or anything.
15 Q Okay. I'm going to ask you to look at
16 what the court reporter pre-marked as Exhibit --
17 Composite Exhibit 153.
18 A Okay.
19 Q And I'm going to represent to you that
20 that is a composite of 20 different documents that
21 were part of the document production that you
22 produced in this case, and those are marked 1
23 through 20 in small letters in the bottom right-hand
24 corner. Do you see that Composite Exhibit 153?
25 A Yes, I do.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 52
1 Q I am going to refer to them by the little
2 numbers in the bottom right-hand corner. So I'm
3 going to call this 153-1, that first two pages that
4 are stapled together.
5 A Okay.
6 Q Do you recognize that as an email that you
7 sent and received on November 10th, 2015?
8 A That's what it looks like.
9 Q Did you, in fact, send that email?
10 A If it says Kevin Mulshine on the top, yes,
11 I'm sure I sent the email.
12 Q And you typed the words, Good points.
13 Thanks, Bob?
14 A Yes, to Bob Gang.
15 Q And this is one of those documents that
16 you said that your firm is required to keep based
17 upon regulatory requirements?
18 A I couldn't tell you what the time
19 requirements are and if we have requirements on
20 things that never close. So I really can't speak to
21 the requirements. I just know this was in our email
22 system.
23 Q So your firm makes it a practice to keep
24 these as a part of its regular business practice?
25 A Yeah.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 53
1 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of the
2 email that you sent and received on that day?
3 A I mean --
4 THE WITNESS: John, help me here.
5 A Unless I can go back and look in my email
6 system but it looks like an email that I sent.
7 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. It's also an
8 email that you produced or you directed to be
9 produced in this case to us. So to the extent that
10 you don't believe it is a true and accurate copy of
11 the document that you produced I'd like to hear what
12 your position is on that.
13 A I believe this -- I believe this looks
14 like it came from me and it probably would have been
15 caught up in the files we sent over, but I did not
16 review every file that's sent over.
17 Q Do you have any reason to believe that
18 it's not a true and accurate copy of what you
19 produced?
20 A That's a better way to put it. I do not.
21 Q I'm going to refer to the next document as
22 153-2.
23 A Okay.
24 Q Can you describe that document.
25 A A supplement to our investment banking
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 54
1 agreement.
2 Q Did you sign that document on the second
3 page?
4 A Yes, I did.
5 Q Is that Gary Moyer who signed it on behalf
6 of the districts?
7 A I believe that's Gary's signature.
8 Q Is the Exhibit A that's attached the
9 Exhibit A that you caused to be attached to your
10 agreement with Poinciana Community Development
11 District?
12 A Yes.
13 Q And then do you see that on the first page
14 of Exhibit 153-2 it references the investment banking
15 agreement effective November 16, 2011?
16 A Okay.
17 Q Would you agree with me that that
18 investment banking agreement is what's attached as
19 the last three pages of this Exhibit 153-2?
20 A Yes.
21 Q And that's signed by your business
22 partner, Mr. Ed Bulleit?
23 A Hold on, please. Okay.
24 Q Is that correct?
25 A Yes.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 55
1 Q Do you know who signed this on behalf of
2 the Poinciana Community Development District?
3 A If I had to guess I'd say Bob Zimbardi
4 maybe. I don't --
5 Q Is he the chairman -- was he the chairman
6 of the Poinciana Community Development District at
7 that time?
8 A I don't know. That's something I'm sure
9 is in the records.
10 Q Is this Exhibit 153-2 a true and accurate
11 copy of your investment banking agreement with
12 Poinciana Community Development District?
13 A Yes.
14 Q With respect to this amenities facilities
15 transaction?
16 A Yes.
17 Q Going back to Page 1 of this exhibit, is
18 the scope of services described on the bottom half of
19 Page 1 and the top of Page 2 the scope of services
20 that you provided to the districts?
21 A Yes.
22 Q And under that scope of services, would
23 you agree with me that it did not call for you to
24 have any role in the valuation of the assets to be
25 purchased?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 56
1 A With the except of advice of structuring
2 and providing support that way.
3 Q So yes, with that exception?
4 A Yes, we were not hired to do a valuation.
5 Q And when I look at Exhibit A, am I correct
6 that Exhibit A provides that you do not have a
7 fiduciary duty to the district?
8 A You're correct.
9 Q And that you are not required to act in
10 the best interest of the district?
11 A Agreed.
12 Q Okay. So I'm trying to understand in that
13 context -- I'm looking at Exhibit A, 1, 2, and 3. If
14 you could explain your understanding of those
15 provisions that I believe require the underwriter to
16 deal fairly at all times with the districts and
17 purchase the securities with a view to distribution
18 in an arm's length commercial transaction. Could you
19 explain those.
20 A Which one are you looking at, sir?
21 Q Well, 1 and 2.
22 A Of Exhibit A?
23 Q Yes.
24 A That's part of our role where we have to
25 -- when it's time to finance a transaction we
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 57
1 purchase the districts' bonds and market them
2 pursuant to -- pursuant to a public offering or a
3 limited public offering, whatever is more
4 appropriate.
5 Q Do any of these terms that are numbered on
6 the first half of this page under Exhibit A,
7 disclosures concerning the underwriter's role, do any
8 of these terms have anything to do with ensuring that
9 the district pays fair value for the amenity assets
10 that are being purchased by the district in the
11 transaction that we have been discussing today?
12 A No, they do not.
13 Q I'm going to ask you to look at composite
14 Exhibit 153-3. Do you see it's a four-page email,
15 the first one being from Bob Gang to you and Rhonda
16 Mossing -- I'm sorry to Rhonda Mossing on
17 November 18, 2015?
18 A Okay. Uh-huh. Yes.
19 Q Do you recall receiving these emails?
20 A I don't recall specifically receiving the
21 emails. I recall the fire marshal shutting a meeting
22 down.
23 Q Were you at that meeting on November 18,
24 2015?
25 A I don't think I was. I don't think I was.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 58
1 Q Was Rhonda Mossing at the meeting?
2 A She may have been at the meeting.
3 Q Is this a true and accurate copy of emails
4 that you received on that day?
5 A Yes.
6 Q I'm going to ask you to look at what's
7 been marked as Exhibit 153-4, the first of which is
8 an email on Tuesday, November 24, 2015, from you to
9 Bob Gang and Rhonda Mossing. Do you see that?
10 A Yes.
11 Q Did you send that email that day that
12 where you said the words "too soon"?
13 A Yes.
14 Q Do you see that your email was in response
15 to Bob Gang's email on November 18 --
16 A Yes.
17 Q -- where it says, Could this turn into
18 another Mulshine curse? He's on a roll these days?
19 MR. ALAO: Object to form.
20 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) What was your
21 understanding of what he meant by Mulshine curse;
22 he's on a roll these days?
23 A Well, to be honest, I was still recovering
24 from cancer. And I know Bob Gang pretty well and
25 know his family pretty well, so I had a string of bad
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 59
1 luck. So we were just trying to get things back
2 together.
3 Q Okay. I'm sorry, I thought he might have
4 been referring to another transaction that --
5 A And he could have been. When you do
6 transactions if you work on ten, maybe six close. I
7 don't know. Not all transactions close.
8 Q Okay. Please accept my apology. I did
9 not intend to ask any question about any health
10 condition.
11 A No, not offended at all. I happen to be
12 close to his family, so . . .
13 Q Do you know what Rhonda Mossing meant when
14 she said they brought ropes?
15 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
16 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Did you answer that
17 already?
18 A I thought somebody objected so I didn't
19 know what --
20 Q Oh, you can still answer.
21 MR. WAECHTER: Go ahead and answer, Kevin.
22 A So what was the question?
23 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you know what Rhonda
24 Mossing meant when she said, Dave, Rob brought ropes?
25 MR. ALAO: Objection to form.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 60
1 A Honestly, I don't know whether she was
2 talking about whether the crowd was angry or whether
3 the board was angry. You know, she obviously did not
4 have a good meeting, so I'm assuming that's a meeting
5 I did not go to would be the assumption I would make.
6 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you have any
7 recollection of why that meeting was not a good
8 meeting?
9 A Because a lot of people came and got angry
10 when a fire marshal said there is not enough space so
11 they had to cancel the meeting, was my understanding.
12 Q Do you recall what stage the meeting was
13 in when it was canceled?
14 A As I say, I didn't even remember attending
15 that meeting. I don't think I attended the meeting.
16 I could be held wrong, but I don't think I attended
17 the meeting, so I wouldn't know.
18 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of the
19 emails that you sent on that day?
20 A Yes.
21 Q I'm going to refer you to Exhibit 153-5.
22 A Okay.
23 Q This is an email from Rhonda Mossing to
24 you dated December 1st, 2015, with a three-page
25 attachment. Do you recognize it?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 61
1 A I know what it is, yes.
2 Q What is it?
3 A It looks like a bond sizing by Rhonda on
4 Pages 2 and 3. Yeah, some kind of a bond sizing.
5 Q Okay. What do you mean by 2 and 3? It's
6 a four-page exhibit.
7 A Well, Pages 3 and 4.
8 Q Okay. What about Page 2?
9 A That looks -- you know what, honestly I'm
10 having trouble seeing that, but it looks like one of
11 those schedules where they have each neighborhood and
12 what everybody pays. That's what it looks like to
13 me.
14 Q Do you know who created that schedule?
15 A I don't know. I really don't.
16 Q At the top it says, Based on updated
17 development plan dated 9/17/15 provided by AV Homes,
18 Inc.
19 MR. ALAO: Object to form.
20 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you see that?
21 A Yeah, I see that. So then maybe Rhonda
22 may have put this together then.
23 Q But you got the data from AV Homes?
24 A She would have received the data from AV
25 Homes or she would have received it through
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 62
1 continuing disclosure records.
2 Q Okay. And then so Page 2 of
3 Exhibit 153-5, is something that you believe Rhonda
4 created but Pages 3 and 4 are what you refer to as a
5 bond sizing?
6 A Right.
7 Q Is that right?
8 A Yes.
9 Q And can you explain the bond sizing.
10 A Well, she has a -- you know, what I can
11 tell you on this one is she has a par amount for two
12 different bond issues, one senior, one subordinate
13 lien, and then she has allocations of costs and
14 acquisition and construction funds.
15 Q Why do you think she used two different
16 bond issuances?
17 MR. ALAO: Object to form.
18 A A senior and a sub?
19 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Yes.
20 A Probably what she was doing was assuming
21 that we were trying to maximize our bond rating. And
22 there's a percentage, probably 20 or 30 percent, of
23 the district which is not vertical yet. So we'd
24 issue -- we'd Issue two series of bonds, one being
25 senior lien. That would be the bondholders get paid
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 63
1 first. And the second would be subordinate lien.
2 Those bondholders would be paid second and those
3 people would be taking -- absorbing the risk of AV
4 Homes in the completing the project.
5 Q And that would be with respect to the
6 undeveloped lots?
7 A Yes, the risk the undeveloped lots don't
8 pay off.
9 Q Okay. And then could you explain the last
10 page of Exhibit 153-5.
11 A Yeah. This looks like obviously somebody
12 gave Rhonda a capital improvement plan of 11,875,000.
13 So she deducted from the net proceeds on the prior
14 page to get to a net purchase price of 70 million.
15 Q And what was the source of the objective
16 in the middle of that page?
17 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
18 A What that objective just means is that
19 you're trying to find a bond structure with the
20 lowest possible interest rate, the present value of
21 revenue stream over for 30 years and then you
22 subtract 11 million for the improvements.
23 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) And that would come out
24 to a net purchase price of amenities from the
25 developer of $70,447,854?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 64
1 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
2 A Right.
3 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) That's correct?
4 A Correct.
5 Q And did you ask Ms. Mossing to put this
6 together for you?
7 A Most likely, but I don't remember the
8 exact order or the exact date I would have said that.
9 Q Okay. And is this a true and accurate
10 copy of the email and attachments that you received
11 on December 1st, 2015?
12 A I assume it is.
13 Q You've seen it before, correct?
14 A I don't remember seeing it before, but if
15 you say it came from the package I sent you, then
16 I've seen it before.
17 Q Okay. Well, I mean, looking at the third
18 page and the net purchase price of the amenities from
19 the developer, does that refresh your recollection
20 that those are the numbers that Ms. Mossing generated
21 at that time?
22 MR. ALAO: Objection to form.
23 A I'm sure she generated it, but she
24 probably ran an awful lot of scenarios. So I don't
25 remember with clarity every particular scenario that
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 65
1 was run.
2 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. Would you agree
3 with me that the objective that's described there and
4 the methodology that Ms. Mossing used in this bond
5 sizing is the exact same objective and methodology
6 that Environmental Financial Group used in their
7 valuation?
8 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
9 A I'm not familiar enough with EFG to say
10 what their objectives were in there.
11 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Well, did you receive
12 EFG's report?
13 A I'm sure I did at some point.
14 Q Do you know of any differences between
15 this objective and this methodology that's reflected
16 in this bond sizing and what EFG ultimately used as
17 its methodology --
18 A I mean, if you have the EFG --
19 Q -- and its objective?
20 A -- report that I can review here I could
21 look at the two and tell you, but I don't even know
22 what the EFG final number was. Was it $70,474,000?
23 Q It was $73.7 million.
24 A Then I think they used different thoughts
25 and objectives if they came up to a different number.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 66
1 Q Or do you think that maybe just some of
2 the minor numbers were tweaked and it was the same
3 methodology and objective but with perhaps a slightly
4 different interest rate or slightly different cash
5 flows?
6 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
7 A I honestly couldn't tell you because this
8 is out of context. This is just a bond issue sizing.
9 It doesn't have the revenues and all the R&R funding
10 and everything else that I assume is in that report
11 you're referencing, so . . .
12 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) What do you mean by R&R
13 funding that you assume is in the report?
14 A Renew and replacement funding. You know,
15 in other words, O&M type funding.
16 Q Why would you expect that to be in the
17 report?
18 A Because I thought EFG was as a second
19 phase -- and I could be wrong -- was going to be
20 helping the district establish budgets on moving
21 forward on what it would cost to operate the
22 facilities.
23 Q What made you think that?
24 A What made me think that EFG was helping
25 the district?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 67
1 Q With the renewal and replacement and O&M
2 going forward?
3 A Because I just remember we always said one
4 of the things that we talked about on our conference
5 calls was we need to have a handle on what the O&M is
6 moving forward to make sure that we could stabilize
7 the rates here. It was just an objective stated by
8 staff, but it wasn't part of our scope, so we weren't
9 involved with it.
10 Q Okay. Can you take a look at Exhibit
11 Number 153-6.
12 A Okay.
13 Q Do you see on that same day that you
14 received those -- that bond sizing from Rhonda
15 Mossing that you sent the exact same thing to Gary
16 Shullaw and Tony Iorio at AV Homes?
17 A Okay.
18 Q Do you agree with that?
19 A I agree with it.
20 Q In your email you reference, Rhonda put
21 together the enclosed schedules for our discussion
22 later today.
23 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
24 A Right.
25 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Is that a true and
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 68
1 accurate copy of the email and attachments that you
2 sent to Mr. Shullaw and Mr. Iorio on December 1st,
3 2015?
4 A Yes.
5 Q Did you have a discussion later that day?
6 A I had a lot of discussions, so I don't
7 remember specific discussions, but I remember they
8 were very interested in the bond structure.
9 Q Do you believe that you ever saw anything
10 to suggest what the purchase price should be for the
11 recreation facilities amenities acquisition prior to
12 these schedules that Rhonda sent to you and you sent
13 to Mr. Shullaw and Mr. Iorio on December 1st, 2015?
14 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
15 A I don't -- I don't have any recollection
16 of that.
17 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) If I represented to you
18 that this is the first time that I found in your
19 documents that you produced to us any suggestion of
20 what the purchase price would be for the amenities
21 purchase, would that make sense to you?
22 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
23 A I couldn't clarify or deny. I just don't
24 know. I'd have to look through all my records.
25 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you have any
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 69
1 recollection of discussing a potential purchase price
2 for the amenities before December 1st, 2015?
3 A No. I remember talking to people about
4 how bonds work and about how bond funded acquisitions
5 work.
6 Q Do you recall speaking with Mr. Shullaw
7 and Mr. Iorio on this afternoon of December 1st,
8 2015?
9 A I do not have specific knowledge of it
10 but, you know, I may have.
11 Q How about general recollection of
12 discussing with them a purchase price in the
13 neighborhood of $70,447,000?
14 A I do not have a general recollection of
15 that.
16 Q Okay. I'm just trying to understand what
17 the reaction was when you shared this bond sizing
18 with them and this estimated purchase price.
19 A If they had asked a bond number saying
20 what would support something and we send it to them,
21 we would have sent it to them, but I don't remember
22 discussing purchase prices of systems with them.
23 Q With Shullaw and Iorio?
24 A No.
25 Q Are you pretty sure that you had a phone
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 70
1 call with them on December 1st, 2015?
2 A No. You're asking me -- it's hard for me
3 to tell you what phone calls I had last week. I
4 can't tell what you phone calls I had on December 1,
5 2015.
6 Q Okay. So the email and the attachment to
7 the email is the best --
8 A Yes.
9 Q -- record of what you sent to them on that
10 day?
11 A Exactly.
12 Q Okay. So I'm going to ask you to look at
13 what's been marked as Exhibit 153 and sub 7.
14 A Uh-huh.
15 Q This is a few month later, February 2nd,
16 2016. Could you describe what this is.
17 A Let me read it first, please.
18 Q Certainly.
19 A I assume this is when Tony Iorio was
20 trying to set up some kind of a workshop to discuss
21 the transaction.
22 Q And did you receive that email from him on
23 February 2nd, 2016?
24 A If you received this from me, then yes.
25 Q And do you recall those workshops?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 71
1 A You know, I recall some workshops, but I
2 don't recall which dates various workshops happened.
3 I remember we had one workshop -- I remember there
4 was one workshop outside, but I knew there was
5 trouble scheduling a workshop, so . . .
6 Q Do you recall that at this time you were
7 trying to work out your schedule to attend a workshop
8 the week of February 22nd?
9 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
10 A I'm sure I was.
11 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Pardon me?
12 A I'm sure I was. If this says I was trying
13 to work it so I can make it, I'm sure I was trying to
14 make it.
15 Q And is that a true and accurate copy of
16 your email?
17 A Yes.
18 Q I'm going to ask you to look at
19 Exhibit 153-8.
20 A Okay.
21 Q That's also another email string from
22 February 2nd, 2016.
23 A Okay.
24 Q Could you tell us what that is.
25 A It looks like part of the same email chain
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 72
1 that I just looked at.
2 Q Do you see where it says, Tony will
3 schedule some meetings with residents prior to the
4 meeting?
5 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
6 A Yes.
7 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) It's on the top of the
8 third page.
9 A Okay.
10 Q Did you attend any meetings with residents
11 prior to --
12 A No.
13 Q -- the meeting? Do you know whether Tony
14 did?
15 A I don't know if Tony did. I know he said
16 they had regular coffees between the company and
17 residents that they attended. I don't believe any
18 attended any meetings.
19 Q Did Tony ever tell you about those
20 coffees?
21 A Just in general that it was chance for him
22 to, you know, get the word out to the community of
23 what AV's plans were.
24 Q Do you know whose idea it was to sell
25 these amenities to the districts?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 73
1 A No. I'd imagine AV Homes.
2 Q Okay. I'm a little curious whether this
3 is an idea that you pitched to AV Homes who then
4 pitched it to the districts?
5 A You know, I don't believe I did. I
6 believe AV Homes, who had sold a lot of revenue
7 producing assets to districts before, they're pretty
8 sophisticated and it's a natural thing that happens
9 commonly in Florida, so I'm sure they got it from
10 somewhere.
11 Q Well, to your knowledge, what other
12 revenue producing assets has AV Homes sold to a
13 community development district?
14 A Well, they sold to various districts. I'm
15 not sure every one of them were CDDs, but they sold
16 to various districts all their utility assets.
17 Q Were you involved in those transactions?
18 A I actually negotiated against them.
19 Q What do you mean by negotiated against
20 them?
21 A When I say that, I was representing -- I
22 had -- well, let me strike that. I wasn't
23 negotiating against -- that was a different -- I'm
24 sorry, different utility company I had to do this
25 work on where they were bidding on some systems.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 74
1 I had represented several of the
2 purchasers, not all of the purchasers in that one.
3 There were probably ten governments that purchased
4 their utilities.
5 Q Where was that located?
6 A They had utilities around the state. I
7 think their biggest one was somewhere in Fort Myers.
8 They did have one that was purchased -- you know,
9 that was purchased in -- that currently serves
10 Poinciana. It's called Toho Water.
11 Q Toho Water?
12 A It's a long name. It's like Topo Gigi
13 (phonetic) or something. It's a long name that I
14 don't know, I couldn't pronounce. I think they
15 formally go in their bond offerings as Toho, T-o-h-o.
16 I did not represent them, but they purchased a system
17 that was -- that now serves the residents of
18 Solivita.
19 Q And who purchased that system?
20 A It was either Toho or -- and you're
21 testing my memory -- but it could have been Florida
22 Governmental Utility Authority. I just know that
23 Toho owns it now.
24 Q And they purchased it from AV Homes?
25 A Well, from a subsidiary of AV Homes. I
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 75
1 believe it was probably AV Utilities or something,
2 some utility name.
3 Q And what year was that?
4 A Early '90s.
5 Q Was Mr. Iorio involved in that
6 transaction?
7 A I do not believe so, but I also didn't --
8 Q Who from AV Homes --
9 A -- work on that system so I wouldn't have
10 known.
11 Q -- who worked on that system?
12 A The only contact was with the utility
13 employee named Gerald Allen.
14 Q I'm going to ask you to look at
15 Exhibit 153-9.
16 A Okay.
17 Q Can you tell us what that is.
18 A It looks similar to the last exhibit you
19 showed me where they're trying to set up a meeting
20 for the 22nd, but now it's on the 25th. The 25th,
21 joint meeting.
22 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of the
23 emails that you sent and received on that day?
24 A Correct.
25 Q I'll ask you to look at 153-10.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 76
1 A Okay.
2 Q Can you tell me what that is.
3 A It looks like Rhonda generating a
4 timetable for the working group.
5 Q And tell me what do you mean by the
6 working group?
7 A Well, we have an internal working group
8 that was just staff, but then if you add negotiations
9 and AV Homes wants to know when an acquisition can be
10 consumed, we had to generate a timetable which would
11 show financing timetable so they could show when they
12 get paid.
13 Q When who gets paid?
14 A When AV Homes gets paid or when the deal
15 closes.
16 Q Okay. So I'm looking at the email at the
17 bottom of Page 1 of Exhibit 153-10 that you're
18 testifying about.
19 A Okay.
20 Q Would you describe that group of people as
21 the working group?
22 A No. I'd call that as our working group
23 plus people from AV Homes.
24 Q And I think at the top of the page that
25 appears to be the internal AV Homes group along with
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 77
1 the MBS folks involved?
2 A Yes. I would guess that somebody Joe
3 Covelli responded to Rhonda's timetable wanting to --
4 looks like asking questions or tweaking the
5 timetable, so . . .
6 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of the
7 emails that you sent or received on that day?
8 A Yes.
9 Q I'm going to ask you to look at
10 Exhibit 153-11.
11 A Okay.
12 Q Can you identify that.
13 A One looks like an email from Rhonda about
14 a timetable. One looks like an email from Mike
15 talking to Rhonda about the timetable, and then one
16 looks like Mike Eckert sending an email to Sete, who
17 was an assistant in our office. I don't know why he
18 sent it to Sete, to be honest.
19 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of the
20 email that MBS produced in this case?
21 A If you got if from us, it is.
22 Q I'm going to ask you to look at
23 Exhibit 153-12.
24 A Okay.
25 Q Can you tell me what that is.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 78
1 A It looks like a timetable produced by MBS
2 Capital Markets with somebody's comments written on
3 it.
4 Q Would you agree on Page 2 of that document
5 where Mr. Covelli noted his comments in red that are
6 bolded the Number 5 on that list that the parties
7 defer to AV Homes as to which assets would be
8 included in those to be sold to the district?
9 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
10 A Why are you? I apologize. First of all,
11 it's not in red for me. It's in black.
12 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) I'm sorry, yeah. It's
13 in dark -- it's in bold and all caps in black under
14 Number 5 where Covelli added his comments. He says,
15 Defer to AV Homes as to which assets will be included
16 in those to be sold to the district.
17 I'm asking you, is it your recollection
18 that that is what, in fact, occurred, that the
19 parties deferred to AV Homes as to which assets were
20 being included in those to be sold to the district?
21 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
22 A No. Honestly, I apologize because I'm
23 just not seeing where you're looking at, but -- I've
24 got a four-page timetable here.
25 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) I'm sorry, are you
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 79
1 looking at Number 12?
2 A I'm still looking at the timetable that's
3 in Number 11. Never mind.
4 Q I'm sorry. I'm asking you to look at the
5 email --
6 A Okay. All right. Now I'm with you.
7 Q And Number 5 on the second page.
8 A Number 5 is from Mike Eckert saying a
9 complete list of assets to be acquired must be
10 finalized before the valuation process is started.
11 Q Right. And then Mr. Covelli's comments
12 say, Defer to AV Homes as to which assets will be
13 included in those to be sold to the district.
14 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
15 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you see that?
16 A Mr. Covelli. I'm sorry, where is that in
17 his -- 1, 2, 3 or 4?
18 Q Number 5 on the second page, the comments
19 from JPC that are in bold.
20 A Oh, I always just took it as somebody was
21 going to have to come up with a big asset list of all
22 the assets needed that work with the club. I didn't
23 take that as saying AV Homes is going to dictate who
24 is going to -- what assets were going to be acquired.
25 Q Would you agree with me that under the
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 80
1 valuation methodology applied by EFG that it didn't
2 matter what assets were going to be acquired because
3 the valuation method used didn't examine the assets?
4 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
5 A I would disagree with that. I think the
6 assumption in the EFG report is it's the value based
7 upon receiving the same set of assets that provide
8 the -- that support the club fee in the first place.
9 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) All of the assets that
10 were owned by the club?
11 A You're starting to split hairs, but there
12 may have been assets that aren't conducive for a
13 district. I don't know. But I know the main assets
14 that provide the lifestyle, such as the large rec
15 facility that's there, I'm sure that nobody would
16 ever have considered not doing the -- I'm not sure
17 anybody would ever consider doing the deal if they
18 wanted to leave out the facilities that people use.
19 But I also understand there could be
20 confusing assets, such as a storage closet that's
21 used by a golf course and the rec center. So
22 somebody has to identify and then analyze if it's
23 necessary or not.
24 Q Anything else that you're aware of that
25 was left out?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 81
1 A I was not involved in that process of the
2 asset identification. I know there was supposed to
3 be an inspection, but, once again, that was outside
4 of my scope.
5 Q Is this Exhibit 153-12 a true and accurate
6 copy of the emails that you sent and received on that
7 day?
8 A Correct.
9 Q I'm going to ask you to look at
10 Exhibit 153-13.
11 A Okay.
12 (Recess from 3:14 to 3:20 p.m.)
13 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) I'm still working in
14 composite Exhibit 153.
15 A Okay.
16 Q And, I ask you to look at composite
17 Exhibit Number 153-13.
18 A Uh-huh.
19 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of the
20 MBS email that it purports to be?
21 A Yes.
22 Q I'd ask you to look at Exhibit 153-14. Is
23 that a true and accurate of the MBS exhibit that it
24 purports to be -- I mean email that it purports to
25 be?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 82
1 A Yes.
2 Q Did you say yes?
3 A Yes.
4 THE WITNESS: Can I ask a question with
5 John on the line? Instead of going through every one
6 and asking that question, can we just say that as
7 long as you got it from us it's true and accurate?
8 Is there any way we can --
9 MR. WAECHTER: I think that's what Carter
10 was attempting to do in the beginning where he had
11 just a global authentication of these documents. So
12 if these all look like these are the documents that
13 you provided, then we can do a global authentication,
14 if you prefer to do that.
15 MR. ANDERSEN: That sound great to me.
16 THE WITNESS: As long as you received them
17 from us, I agree with that, yeah.
18 MR. WAECHTER: I have no objection to
19 doing that.
20 MR. ALAO: Object. Can we go off the
21 record for a moment?
22 MR. ANDERSEN: Well, let's stay on because
23 if you've got an objection we've got to hear it.
24 MR. ALAO: Because we're talking about
25 email chains here. So I mean, you're saying if we
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 83
1 received the email from -- Mr. Mulshine says if you
2 received the email from us, however it's a chain of
3 emails. So he can't authenticate the genuineness of
4 any emails other than the ones that he himself sent.
5 MR. ANDERSEN: Well, his company produced
6 them to us in this case. So I think that's how he's
7 able to authenticate them because he's the producing
8 party.
9 MR. ALAO: Right. So he can authenticate,
10 say, yes, I sent this email on such and such date but
11 that's only as to the emails that Mr. Mulshine
12 himself sent. As to the ones where he's getting an
13 email and responding to it, he can authenticate, say
14 that, yes, that is my response. But as far as what
15 was sent to him and forwarded to him, how can he
16 authenticate that?
17 MR. ANDERSEN: So he can authenticate that
18 MBS received it or sent it on the day that it
19 purports to be received or sent because he searched
20 his system and produced the document to us.
21 MR. ALAO: He can authenticate that he
22 received it, but you're asking questions about the
23 contents of those emails that he received as well.
24 And that's where I just want to be cautious if we're
25 authenticating things as to the genuineness of -- as
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 84
1 long as we restrict it to, okay, that's what you
2 received or that's what was forwarded to him, but he
3 can't authenticate the content.
4 MR. ANDERSEN: If you're objecting I'll
5 have to keep asking him the questions, so . . .
6 MR. ALAO: Keep asking him the questions.
7 MR. ANDERSEN: Okay. This we tried to
8 clear up in an email before the deposition as well
9 and I couldn't get the agreement from Mr. Smith or
10 Mr. Alao, so that's why we're going through this
11 drill. So we'll keep going.
12 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Mr. Mulshine, I'd ask
13 you to look at the exhibit, the emails that are
14 marked as Exhibit 153-15.
15 A Okay.
16 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of an
17 email -- the email that it purports to be that your
18 firm produced in this case?
19 A Yes.
20 Q I'd ask you to look at Exhibit
21 Number 153-16. Is that a true and accurate copy of
22 an email --
23 A Yes.
24 Q -- that your firm produced in this case?
25 A Yes.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 85
1 Q I'd ask you to look at 153-17. Is that a
2 true and accurate copy of the email that it purports
3 to be that your firm produced in this case?
4 A Yes.
5 Q I'd ask you to look at Exhibit 153-18.
6 And, again, with each of these I'm referring to the
7 entire exhibit. So this one, for example, is a five-
8 page email string.
9 A Yes.
10 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of the
11 emails that they purport to be that your firm
12 produced in this case?
13 A Yes.
14 Q I'd ask you to look at Exhibit 153-19. Is
15 that a true and accurate copy of the emails that they
16 purport to be that your firm produced in this case?
17 A Yes.
18 Q I'm going to ask you to look at
19 Exhibit 153-20. Is that a true and accurate of the
20 emails that they purport to be that your firm
21 produced in this case?
22 A Yes.
23 Q Okay. So now we're finished with
24 Exhibit 153. And I just want to confirm that all of
25 these Exhibits 153-1 through 153-20 are included in
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 86
1 those emails that you described earlier that you all
2 keep during the course of a transaction because of
3 the regulatory requirements to maintain all of your
4 emails.
5 A Yes.
6 Q Okay. Now I'm going to Exhibit 154. Is
7 that a true and accurate copy of the emails that they
8 purport to be --
9 A Yes.
10 Q -- that your firm produced in this case?
11 And I'm referring to 154-21.
12 A Yes. I'm sorry, I thought that's what you
13 were referring to.
14 Q Now I'd ask you to look at Exhibit
15 Number 154-22. Is that a true and accurate copy of
16 the emails that they purport to be that your firm
17 produced in this case?
18 A Yes.
19 Q Do you recall the March 16th workshop?
20 A I just remember a workshop outside that I
21 attended -- or maybe it was indoors, but I remember
22 going to some meetings.
23 Q Do you recall a comment from Mr. Iorio
24 that he believes MBS needs to sell themselves as
25 there have been comments from the audience why MBS as
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 87
1 underwriters?
2 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
3 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you see that first
4 e-mail there?
5 A Which exhibit are you on?
6 Q 154-22.
7 A Okay.
8 Q March 3rd, 2016, email from Mr. Iorio to
9 you and Ms. Mossing.
10 A Yes, I remember that.
11 Q Do you remember those comments from him?
12 A Yes.
13 Q Did you make an effort to do that?
14 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
15 A Well, I remember presenting to the board
16 and going over our credentials.
17 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) And you were trying to
18 make them comfortable and the audience on your
19 expertise?
20 A Well, make them understand our expertise.
21 Q Is it accurate to say on that date,
22 March 16, 2016, both you and AV Homes presented --
23 were presenters at this joint workshop?
24 A We may have. I'd have to look through my
25 files to see, but I know we did present at a
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 88
1 workshop. So it may have been the 26th or the 16th,
2 whatever date you're saying. I don't have the
3 presentation in front of me, you know. I just
4 remember going to a presentation and going over with
5 them our credentials.
6 Q I'm going to ask you to look at
7 Exhibit 154-23.
8 A Okay.
9 Q That appears to be a global meeting
10 invitation relating to the amenity facility bonds for
11 a meeting that occurred on March 7, 2016.
12 A Okay.
13 Q Would you agree with that?
14 A Yes.
15 Q Was that a meeting that was video
16 conference similar to the one that we're conducting
17 this deposition today?
18 A You know, I don't believe it was a video
19 conference, or maybe some people were on by video. I
20 know I've only attended by phone. I've never done a
21 video conference.
22 Q Okay. Do you recall attending this
23 meeting?
24 A I don't recall the specific one. As I
25 said, there were a lot of conference calls, but, you
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 89
1 know, if they say this was the meeting and there's
2 not another one that says it was canceled, I probably
3 attended it by phone.
4 Q And do you see where it says, Required
5 attendees, and it gives a list of people?
6 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
7 A Yes.
8 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Would you describe that
9 as that same, quote, working group that you described
10 earlier in your testimony?
11 A No, because we had -- there are people
12 listed here from -- we had a lot of calls with just
13 staff being the district manager, district counsel,
14 et cetera. And then when we had conversations where
15 we had to address over all matters which included
16 timing of due diligence and trying to blend a
17 timetable for financing with a timetable with
18 acquisition. Then we would do a larger call with
19 people from -- with people from AV Homes.
20 Q So was this -- would you describe this as
21 one of those larger calls?
22 A Yeah. I'd describe this as larger call.
23 Q With the people from AV Homes?
24 A Yes, and district counsel and district
25 manager.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 90
1 Q Okay. I'm going to ask you to look at
2 Exhibit 154-24.
3 A Uh-huh.
4 Q And that's the March 7, 2016, email from
5 Mike Eckert to one of those working groups that
6 attaches the joint workshop agenda. Do you see that?
7 A Yeah, I see it.
8 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of an
9 email and agenda that you received on that day?
10 A Yes.
11 Q And looking at the agenda, does that
12 refresh your recollection that you gave a
13 presentation to the joint meeting of the districts on
14 that day?
15 A As I say it says here the 16th, so I'll
16 believe it was the 16th. I don't have a recollection
17 of the exact date. I know I presented to the board
18 to discuss MBS's credentials and our history with the
19 district.
20 Q Do you have any information about Item
21 Number 3, which was the discussion of specific list
22 of assets offered for acquisition?
23 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
24 A No, I do not.
25 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you have any
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 91
1 recollection as to whether the purchase price was
2 discussed at this meeting?
3 A Not to my recollection.
4 Q I'm going to ask you to look at
5 Exhibit 154-25.
6 A Okay.
7 Q Can you confirm that that is a true and
8 accurate copy of the emails that they purport to be
9 that your firm produced in this case?
10 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
11 A Yes.
12 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you know what the
13 presentation was that was attached to these emails?
14 A Is it attached here?
15 Q I don't believe it's attached here to this
16 exhibit, no.
17 A Okay. I don't know which presentation.
18 Are you talking about the presentation by MBS?
19 Q Well, do you see Mary Danielsen says she
20 believes she's incorporated everyone's comments and
21 asks that the group to review it one more time before
22 they send it to Gary? I assume that's MBS's
23 presentation; is that right?
24 A Correct.
25 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 92
1 A Correct.
2 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you recall what
3 presentation that was?
4 A I was going to say it was just a
5 presentation about our credentials and history.
6 Q I'm going to ask you to look at
7 Exhibit 154-26. Can you confirm that that's a true
8 and accurate copy of the emails that they purport to
9 be that was produced by your firm in this case?
10 A Yes, it's a true, whatever. It's an email
11 from us.
12 Q Do you agree that for this March 16th
13 meeting that MBS and AV Homes were trying to
14 coordinate their presentations so that they -- what
15 Kelly Finley says here, They flow into each other?
16 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
17 A From a timing standpoint, yeah. The idea
18 was, you know, the agenda said they were going to
19 speak first, so we're speaking second. This
20 information I could tell you that they had requested
21 information from us to say -- I just remember a
22 specific request about information for their
23 presentation, which was, MBS, can you tell us are
24 there other districts out there that operate amenity
25 centers. And we said there's a lot of them. So we
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 93
1 sent over a list of districts that operate amenity
2 centers.
3 Q Have you ever worked on a transaction
4 where a community development district purchased
5 amenities properties similar to this?
6 A I'm working on one right now.
7 Q Which one is that?
8 A We're engaged by the Bonterra Community
9 Development District.
10 Q How do you spell that?
11 A B-o-n-t-e-r-r-a.
12 Q What part of the state is that?
13 A It's either north Miami or south Broward.
14 Q Who is the developer?
15 A The developer is exiting the community but
16 there are a couple of developers. Lennar was
17 involved and also somebody called CC Devco was
18 involved.
19 Q Is that the developer that's exiting the
20 community?
21 A Yes.
22 Q Did that transaction involve a club plan?
23 A It involves a club plan. It's an ongoing
24 transaction.
25 Q Does that club plan have a club membership
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 94
1 fee?
2 A Yes.
3 Q What stage is that transaction?
4 A The initial due diligence, just starting
5 to look at it, but there are a number of Lennar
6 districts that we did not work on that did
7 acquisitions very similar to the one being proposed
8 by Poinciana.
9 Q When you say Lennar districts, you're
10 talking about community development districts which
11 were sponsored by Lennar when they were initially
12 created?
13 A Yes, and the assets were purchased from
14 Lennar.
15 Q In the Bonterra CDD transaction, is there
16 a club membership fee?
17 A Yes.
18 Q Is it the same type of club membership fee
19 that's defined and designed to be pure profit to the
20 developer?
21 A To be honest, we were just engaged. I
22 have not gotten a chance to start digging into the
23 documents. I haven't even requested the documents
24 yet.
25 Q When you say there are other Lennar
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 95
1 districts that had similar amenities plans that were
2 sold to the districts that you were not involved
3 with, who is the underwriter on those deals?
4 A A competing firm called FMS.
5 Q What districts are you referring to?
6 A I'd have to get you a list. I don't know
7 them off the top of my head.
8 Q You'd have to do what?
9 A I'd have to get -- you'd have to request
10 it and I'll have my people get it for you. I just
11 don't know the names off the top of my head since
12 they weren't our clients.
13 Q I thought you said you'd have to get the
14 OS.
15 A No.
16 Q Is that what you said?
17 A No. Although I could get you the OS. I'm
18 just saying if you request it from me I will send you
19 the names.
20 Q Okay. I'm requesting it from you.
21 MR. WAECHTER: What exactly do you want?
22 MR. ANDERSEN: He referred to Lennar
23 districts that FMS was the underwriter on
24 transactions where Lennar sold amenities to community
25 development districts where Lennar had previously
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 96
1 owned the amenities under a club plan.
2 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Is that accurate, Mr.
3 Mulshine?
4 A Yes. That's an accurate statement. And
5 obviously I know about the Villages transactions but
6 I did not work on those either. MBS did not work on
7 those as well.
8 Q What's the timeframe of these transactions
9 that you're referring to with respect to Lennar
10 districts?
11 A Various over the past five years.
12 Q Would you please look at Exhibit
13 Number 154-27, which is a Friday, March 11, 2016,
14 email from you to Mr. Osterman. Do you see that?
15 A Yes.
16 Q Is that a true and correct copy of the
17 email and attachments that you sent to Mr. Osterman
18 on that day?
19 A Yes.
20 Q Could you explain to me what the
21 attachment is, which I believe has the title
22 Poinciana Model 2016 All Schedules.pdf.
23 A I believe the context of that was
24 Mr. Osterman asking me when he was going to propose.
25 I don't know if this is before or after he was hired
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 97
1 as part of EFG. He asked me if I could send him
2 information on the system, including the revenues of
3 the system.
4 Q Okay. And so the email that you sent
5 describes nice talking to him today. Do you recall
6 you had a conversation with him on March 11, 2016?
7 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
8 A I don't recall, but I'm sure I did. You
9 know, we would talk.
10 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) And do you believe that
11 this was at the time that this was making a proposal
12 to the districts to be the valuation consultant?
13 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
14 A As I say, I don't know the dates, so I
15 don't know if this was before or after. I don't
16 know.
17 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. And it says, I
18 have enclosed the revenue models for the Solivita
19 club membership.
20 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
21 A Uh-huh. Yes.
22 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you see where you
23 say, You can also learn more on the website link
24 below, and it references a solivita.com website?
25 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 98
1 A Yes.
2 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Have you been to that
3 website?
4 A I'm sure I've looked at it before, yes.
5 Q Do you know who that website belongs to?
6 A I figured it was either the HOA or AV
7 Homes, but I just remember in general when Howard was
8 going to get engaged he wanted to understand what
9 kind of assets were there, what kind of revenues were
10 there in consideration.
11 Q Okay. And then can you kind of walk me
12 through the attachment and just explain each page.
13 A I -- honestly, it's very tough to read
14 these the way they were copied. But it looks like a
15 reconciliation of accessible units or units that are
16 online with the system.
17 Q That's the first page?
18 A Yeah.
19 Q And then the second page says, Solivita
20 asset list?
21 A I honestly don't know what this list is.
22 Q Okay. Do you believe that that is the
23 list of the real property assets that are being sold
24 or proposed to be sold from after vary properties to
25 the districts?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 99
1 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
2 A Honestly, I couldn't tell you because I
3 never had a full -- I never sat down to study a full
4 list of the assets because that was somebody else's
5 scope.
6 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. And then Page 3
7 is the familiar page we've seen before on the bond
8 sizing document that Ms. Mossing created, right?
9 A Right.
10 Q And then Page 4 appears to be some numbers
11 relating to the club membership fees.
12 A Uh-huh.
13 Q Is that right?
14 A That's what it appears to be. It appears
15 to be a list of homes by neighborhood and what they
16 pay.
17 Q Okay. And that continues on to Page --
18 A The next page.
19 Q -- 5?
20 A Yes. And 6.
21 Q And 6. And 7?
22 A Uh-huh.
23 Q And 8. And then Page 9 where at the top
24 it says, Scenario 3, net of discounts and collections
25 at 6 percent, would you describe that as another
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 100
1 version of a bond sizing?
2 A Yes, I would.
3 Q So am I correct that Ms. Mossing created
4 this document, this attachment to the email that you
5 sent?
6 A I'm sure she --
7 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
8 A -- compiled the bond sizing. I'm not sure
9 she compiled that list. I just don't know if she
10 compiled that list of units by neighborhood.
11 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. But you would
12 agree that at the very least she included that list
13 of units by neighborhood in this PDF attachment that
14 you sent to Mr. Osterman?
15 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
16 A Right. And I'm sure Mr. Osterman
17 requested -- I remember him requesting and saying,
18 can you send me any information you have on the
19 system.
20 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. So you were
21 giving him all of the data and information that your
22 firm had been using on this issue?
23 A Yes. So he could do his work or decide if
24 he was going to get hired or not, so . . .
25 Q And do you have a recollection of
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 101
1 discussing with him the objective that's in the bond
2 sizing there? I think it's on Page 3.
3 A No, I don't and I wouldn't, to be honest.
4 Q What do you mean by you wouldn't?
5 A Because I've known Howard for a long time
6 and I know he wouldn't take -- you know, Howard does
7 his own work and he doesn't -- you know, he's the
8 valuation guy and I understand that and I respect it.
9 Q Okay. So I'm going to ask you to look at
10 Exhibit 154-28.
11 A Okay.
12 Q It's another meeting appointment for
13 March 13, 2016. Do you see that?
14 A Yes.
15 Q Do you recall participating in a meeting
16 with Mr. Harder on that date?
17 A You know, I remember calls with them.
18 Q That would have been two days after you
19 sent the schedules to Mr. Osterman --
20 A Right.
21 Q -- that are marked as Exhibit 154-27?
22 A Right.
23 Q I believe that that casino972@gmail, is
24 that Mr. Osterman's email address?
25 A I believe it is.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 102
1 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of a
2 meeting invitation that you participated in?
3 A Yeah.
4 Q Okay. I'm going to ask you to look at
5 154-29.
6 A Okay.
7 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of an
8 email that you sent on March 14, 2016?
9 A Yes.
10 Q Was that a suggestion that you were making
11 to Tony Iorio as to what should be presented at the
12 March 30th meeting?
13 A I frankly think the context of this was
14 more an introduction. As I say, Howard and Scott
15 before, you know, when they were working on this
16 requested certain information, so I was just
17 facilitating them getting that information.
18 Q Where it says, Within the context of the
19 board's objectives, who is it that provided that
20 objective?
21 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
22 A I honestly don't remember. I know there
23 were some meetings and I don't know if this was
24 before or after the workshop. Any time I had been in
25 with a board member they wanted to stabilize the
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 103
1 rates; that was the most important thing. They had
2 wish lists for improvements, so I took those as
3 objectives to stabilize or reduce the rates and get a
4 lot of improvements out of it.
5 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Is it your position on
6 March 14, 2016, the Poinciana and Poinciana West
7 Community Development District board objectives were
8 to stabilize the amounts paid by residents to
9 generate 12 million in improvement funds and to
10 prudently operate the system, including plans for
11 renewal and replacement of assets?
12 A That would be me making an assumption. I
13 did not have it specifically, and I don't know if
14 there was a board action on what their specific
15 assumptions were.
16 Q Were those your ideas those objectives?
17 A No. Those are just me relaying what I
18 thought I was taking as a message that's important to
19 that board. It was very clear to me that when we
20 discussed it with the district manager that if the
21 rates had to increase to acquire they had no interest
22 in looking at it. And so I was just basically
23 stating it's very important to stabilize and reduce
24 the rates and they all want their improvement plans
25 to be done.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 104
1 Q I'm going to ask you to look at
2 Exhibit 154-30.
3 A Okay.
4 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of a
5 meeting appointment that occurred on March 15, 2016.
6 A Yeah, a conference call, yes.
7 Q And you participated?
8 A I don't know if I did or not. I know I'm
9 listed as a participant. I probably did. I didn't
10 participate in all the calls that were set up.
11 Q May I ask you to look at Exhibit 154-31.
12 Is that a true and accurate copy of an email that you
13 received on March 17, 2016, with its attached email?
14 A Correct. Yes.
15 Q Did you, in fact, participate in a call on
16 Monday?
17 A I do not know.
18 Q You just don't remember?
19 A I just don't remember, yeah.
20 Q I'm going to ask you to look at
21 Exhibit 154-32.
22 A Yes.
23 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of an
24 email that you sent on March 18, 2016?
25 A Yes.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 105
1 Q I'm going to ask you to look at
2 Exhibit 154-33. I believe it's the same email but it
3 has the attachments, and I'd like you to look at the
4 attachments and confirm that those are the
5 attachments that you attached to this email on
6 March 18, 2016.
7 A Okay. Yes.
8 Q And those emails are accurate as well?
9 A Yes.
10 Q Okay. And so looking back at 154-32, in
11 your email the first thing you say is, Joe, I think
12 that we are okay for now. And it appears that that
13 was in response to his email from earlier that day
14 where he says, I jumped on around 11:10-11:5 and
15 caught most of the discussion, but let me know if we
16 need to talk about anything. If not, have a good
17 weekend. Is that right?
18 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
19 A Yes.
20 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Were you responding to
21 him?
22 A Was I responding?
23 Q In that first line you were responding to
24 Joe?
25 A I'm sure I'm responding. I don't know if
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 106
1 it's an email or a call or whatever, so . . .
2 Q Okay. Well, and then you wrote to Tony
3 Matt and Gary. And that's Tony Iorio, Matt Orosz and
4 Gary Shullaw; is that right?
5 A Yes.
6 Q And you said to them, I have known
7 Fishkind and Osterman for 30 years. Both take a cash
8 flow approach and provide a great explanation why
9 bricks and mortar are irrelevant. Were those your
10 words?
11 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
12 A Yes.
13 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Is it true that Tony
14 Iorio and Matt Orosz and Gary Shullaw were insisting
15 on using a valuation expert that took a cash flow
16 approach?
17 A I don't know what they were -- I really
18 don't know what they were insisting upon.
19 Q Well, is it -- would you agree that AV
20 refused to use a valuation method that used a
21 traditional bricks and mortar appraisal?
22 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
23 A Honestly, that would be a question for
24 district counsel and district manager because they're
25 the ones that hire and fire, you know, consultants.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 107
1 I didn't, you know -- I didn't have a role in that.
2 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) What were you referring
3 to when you said that they provide a great
4 explanation as to why bricks and mortar are
5 irrelevant?
6 A Well, I've seen the work that both of them
7 have done and they've done great work in valuing
8 systems and taking a look at making sure the assets
9 are in working order but making sure the assets can
10 be acquired within the cash flow parameters set forth
11 by a political body. You can't lose track of that,
12 so . . .
13 Q What do you mean you can't lose track of
14 that?
15 A Well, because if you pay -- for instance,
16 any utility system in the country, if you paid the
17 replacement cost of the utility system you'd be
18 paying a lot more than the cash provides and
19 therefore cash could support and therefore you'd have
20 to raise rates tremendously. I'm just saying that
21 both of them keep a very good eye on what's needed to
22 kept rates down to the customer.
23 Q Isn't it true that an amenities purchase
24 is very different than a utilities system purchase?
25 A In what way? It's different assets,
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 108
1 but --
2 Q Wouldn't you agree that a utility system
3 purchase has a continuing revenue after the purchase
4 price because the local government unit is going to
5 continue to operate the utility?
6 A I think a recreational facility also has a
7 continuing cash flow stream by virtue of the club
8 plan.
9 Q Well, not in this case, though, because
10 the club plan is being terminated, right?
11 A Right.
12 Q That's a condition of the sale agreement.
13 A Right. But if the customer could reduce
14 their rate from what they'd otherwise have to pay
15 under a club pay program under a private ownership,
16 if I was a resident I would take that as a good
17 thing. I'd rather pay Poinciana CDD less money than
18 paying a private company more money under a club
19 plan.
20 Q So you're for the less money option?
21 A I'm for the customer paying as little as
22 he can.
23 Q Well, wouldn't that call for using a
24 bricks and mortar approach?
25 A I don't believe so.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 109
1 Q Well, wouldn't it result in a customer
2 paying much, much less if a bricks and mortar
3 approach was used in this case?
4 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
5 A You're making an assumption that AV Homes
6 would sell it for less, which is a very dangerous
7 assumption. You're also making an assumption that
8 other parties wouldn't pay a lot more for this, which
9 is a very dangerous assumption.
10 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Are you aware of any
11 other parties or any communications with anyone else
12 who was interested in buying these amenities?
13 A No.
14 Q Isn't it true that there is no third-party
15 purchaser that's ever communicated with AV Homes
16 about purchasing these amenities?
17 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
18 A Say that question again.
19 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Have you had
20 discussions with AV Homes about the concept of a
21 third-party purchaser buying the amenities?
22 A No.
23 Q Have you had discussions with anyone about
24 that?
25 A I've had discussions with people about
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 110
1 what the amenities might be worth if they were sold.
2 Q Who were those discussions with?
3 A Institutions that buy apartment complexes
4 and buy real estate.
5 Q Were you asked to see if you could market
6 those to those institutions?
7 A No.
8 Q Why did you have those discussions?
9 A Because we actually had another developer
10 asking us about values of rec facilities. It was in
11 the context of another deal.
12 Q Is that the one that you referred to
13 earlier?
14 A No. It was another transaction with
15 somebody who had private facilities.
16 Q Pardon me?
17 A It was -- that was -- it's a totally
18 separate situation with a private rec facility. We
19 didn't have conversations on Poinciana. We had about
20 another facility located in the state.
21 Q What state?
22 A State of Florida.
23 Q What private rec facility?
24 A At the time it was called Monterra.
25 Q Where is that?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 111
1 A Miami.
2 Q Who is the developer?
3 A The developer is gone. The original
4 developer -- the original developer was Tousa
5 (phonetic) out of Greece. They're now defunct. Then
6 it was eventually purchased by Carr, James Carr.
7 Q Who owns the private rec facility?
8 A I honestly don't know. That was a while
9 ago, so I don't know who owns it today. It's either
10 the developer, the HOA or the CDD. I don't know
11 which one owns it.
12 Q Did you all participate in that
13 transaction or no?
14 A No. We participated in other bond
15 transactions for them.
16 Q Is that a deal that that other outfit that
17 you referred to handled?
18 A I don't know. I don't know.
19 Q Do you know whether that was financed with
20 bond proceeds?
21 A I don't know. I don't know.
22 Q How long ago was it?
23 A Oh, I was asked four or five years ago
24 about that one.
25 Q So in the context of that discussion there
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 112
1 was some discussion about what the Poinciana rec
2 facilities might be worth. Is that what you're
3 saying?
4 A No. A general discussion about rec
5 facilities subject to a club plan would be worth.
6 Q What was the answer?
7 A They'd be worth the cash flow divided by a
8 cap rate.
9 Q What cap rate?
10 A At the time what I discussed with the
11 institution the cap rates were around 4 to 5 percent.
12 Q What were those based on?
13 A What do you mean what were those -- based
14 on the market. Apartment complexes buy and sell
15 every day. The only point I'm making to you is it
16 would be a very foolish assumption to think there
17 aren't other institutions out there that would pay a
18 big price for the cash flow generated by the system.
19 That's all.
20 Q Did you have any discussions with any
21 third parties that were interested in buying these
22 amenities?
23 A No.
24 Q Do you know whether Avatar Properties or
25 AV Homes has had any discussions with any third
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 113
1 parties that might be interested in buying these
2 amenities?
3 A No. And that's something confidential I
4 wouldn't even ask them about.
5 Q Do you believe that was a scare tactic
6 used to scare the residents into thinking they might
7 sell into a different third-party entity?
8 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
9 A I have zero reason to believe that that's
10 a threat or incorrect. I have zero reason to
11 believe, but we don't represent AV Homes, so I don't
12 know what they're doing.
13 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Could you take a look
14 at Exhibit 154-34.
15 A Yes.
16 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of the
17 conference call --
18 A Yes.
19 Q -- appointment in which you participated?
20 A Correct.
21 Q Could you please look at Exhibit 154-35.
22 A Okay.
23 Q Is Exhibit 154-35 a true and accurate copy
24 of an email that you sent on March 18, 2016?
25 A Yes.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 114
1 Q Please look at Exhibit 154-36. Is that a
2 true and accurate copy of an email that Tony Iorio
3 sent to you on March 21st, 2016?
4 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
5 A Yes.
6 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you know what Tony
7 Iorio meant or what was your understanding of what
8 meant when he said, I have not spoken with Hank yet.
9 This will not be good?
10 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
11 A Honestly, I have no idea.
12 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Is Exhibit
13 Number 154-37, the next exhibit, a true and accurate
14 copy of an email that you received from Tony Iorio on
15 March 21st, 2016?
16 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
17 A Yes.
18 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) I ask you to look at
19 Exhibit 154-38.
20 A Yes.
21 Q Is that exhibit a true and accurate copy
22 of an email string that your firm produced in this
23 case?
24 A Yes.
25 Q I'd ask you to look at Exhibit 154-39. Is
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 115
1 that a true and accurate of an email that your firm
2 produced in this case?
3 A Yes.
4 Q I'd ask you to look at Exhibit 154-40.
5 A Okay. Yes.
6 Q Was there a time when Rhonda Mossing
7 worked for Gary Moyer?
8 A I don't know if he worked for her or if
9 she had -- it was my understanding that she had a
10 financial company, he had a management company, and
11 his company engaged her company to do the financial
12 statements for some districts back in the '70s and
13 '80s.
14 Q So Rhonda goes back further with Moyer
15 than you do; is that correct?
16 A Yes, she does. She goes back to the 1970s
17 with Moyer.
18 Q How far back do you go with Moyer?
19 A Well, I probably met him when I first
20 started working in this industry sometime in the late
21 1980s, but I just haven't worked with Gary just that
22 much because I'm just not regionally in his area.
23 Q And is that exhibit that you're looking
24 at, 154-40, a true and accurate copy of the emails --
25 A Yes.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 116
1 Q -- that they purport to be that your firm
2 produced in this case?
3 A Yes.
4 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
5 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) I'd ask you to look at
6 Exhibit 154-41.
7 A Yes.
8 Q It's a one-page email. Is that an email
9 that you sent on March 29, 2016?
10 A Yes.
11 Q Was Mr. Iorio considering changing bond
12 counsel at that time?
13 A You know, I imagine he was just asking me
14 my opinion of it. And given the existing documents
15 and everything I was just giving him my opinion it
16 would be very difficult to change at this point.
17 Q Were you trying to convince him to keep
18 the bond counsel the same?
19 A No. I just wanted him to be aware of the
20 point, including the fact that we have to get a
21 bondholder consent which is very difficult to get in
22 the first place to move forward with the transaction.
23 And so I was just making sure he understood
24 everything.
25 Q Do you have that bondholder consent as we
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 117
1 sit here today?
2 A Yes. We have a bond -- I don't know if
3 it's expired now, but I know we received it months
4 and months ago.
5 Q Prior to the validation?
6 A Yes.
7 Q And that's from the holders of the bonds
8 of other bond issues that are issued by either
9 Poinciana Community Development District or Poinciana
10 West Community Development District?
11 A Correct. I forget. It's one of the two
12 districts, one of the bondholders. And it's not a
13 right to stop them from issuing debt. It's just on a
14 parity basis. So we just wanted to get that
15 bondholder to consent, which they did.
16 Q I'd ask you to look at Exhibit 154-42.
17 A Uh-huh.
18 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of the
19 emails that they purport to be that were produced by
20 your ever in this case?
21 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
22 A Yes.
23 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Did I say 42?
24 A You said 42.
25 Q Okay. Good. Then I'm going to the next
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 118
1 exhibit, 154-43. Is that a true and accurate copy of
2 an email that you sent on April 15, 2016?
3 A Yes.
4 Q I'd ask you to look at Exhibit 154-44. Is
5 that a true and accurate copy of an email that you
6 sent on April 27, 2016?
7 A Yes.
8 Q I'd ask you to look at Exhibit 154-45.
9 A Yes.
10 Q Is that a true and accurate of an email
11 string that you received on May 9, 2016, that your
12 firm produced in this case?
13 A Yes.
14 Q I'd ask you to look at Exhibit 154-46. Do
15 you recall receiving this copy of this letter from
16 EFG to Poinciana Community Development District Board
17 of Supervisors dated June 7, 2016?
18 A I don't specifically remember receiving
19 it, but if it's in my file I did receive it.
20 Q And is that a true and accurate of the
21 document that was in your file?
22 A Yes.
23 Q I'm going to ask you to look at
24 Exhibit 154-47.
25 A Okay.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 119
1 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of an
2 email that you sent on July 3rd, 2016?
3 A Yes.
4 Q I'd ask you to look at Exhibit
5 Number 154-48, which is a two-page document. It's
6 got a July 8th email on the top from Rhonda Mossing
7 and then the second page is an email from Mike Eckert
8 dated July 8.
9 A Okay.
10 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of an
11 email string that you received on July 8, 2016?
12 A Yes.
13 Q I'd ask you to look at Exhibit 154-49. Is
14 that a true and accurate copy of an email string that
15 you received on July 8, 2016?
16 A Yes.
17 Q I'd ask you to look at Exhibit 154-50. Is
18 that a true and accurate of the emails that they
19 purport to be produced by your firm in this case?
20 A Yes.
21 Q Okay. So now I'm going to take -- that's
22 the end of Exhibit -- the composite exhibit, 154. I
23 just want to confirm that everything in 154 are the
24 documents that you described earlier that your firm
25 maintains during transactions such as this pursuant
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 120
1 to the regulatory requirements.
2 A Yes.
3 Q Do you need to take a break?
4 A Huh-uh. I'm just getting water. Go ahead
5 and keep talking.
6 Q I'm going to ask you to look at
7 Exhibit 155-51, Composite Exhibit 155, and the first
8 exhibit in there which is Exhibit 51.
9 A Okay.
10 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of the
11 emails that they purport to be produced by your firm?
12 A Yes.
13 Q Looking at Exhibit 155-52, is that a true
14 and accurate copy of the July 13, 2016, email from
15 Scott Harder to Rhonda Mossing that your firm
16 produced in this case?
17 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
18 A Yeah.
19 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Looking at
20 Exhibit 155-53, is that a true and accurate of the
21 July 13, 2016, email from Rhonda Mossing to Scott
22 Harder with the attached email string that your firm
23 produced in this case?
24 A Yes.
25 Q Looking at Exhibit 155-54, is that a true
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 121
1 and accurate copy of the email that Ms. Mossing
2 received from Scott Harder on July 13, 2016, that
3 your firm produced in this case?
4 A Yes. I'm sorry, yes.
5 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
6 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Looking at
7 Exhibit 155-55, is that a true and accurate copy of
8 the email and attachments that Ms. Mossing received
9 from Scott Harder on July 13, 2016?
10 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
11 A Yes.
12 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Looking at
13 Exhibit 155-56, is that a true and accurate copy of
14 an email that Ms. Mossing sent to Scott Harder on
15 July 16, 2016?
16 A Yes.
17 Q Looking at Exhibit 155-57, is that a true
18 and accurate copy of the email that Mr. Harder sent
19 to Ms. Mossing and the attachments there to that your
20 firm produced in this case?
21 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
22 A Yes.
23 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Looking at
24 Exhibit 155-58, at the bottom there's a July 13th
25 email from Scott Harder to Rhonda Mossing and it
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 122
1 says, I received this from Tony and Kraig. A little
2 off from Joe's.
3 A Yes.
4 Q Do you know what she's referring to?
5 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
6 A Well, first of all, I'm trying to think
7 who Joe is.
8 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Pardon me?
9 A First off, I have to think of who Joe is.
10 I don't know who Joe is. But looking at the document
11 attached it's a number of units that are within
12 Solivita. So I'm sure what she's saying is it's off
13 from somebody else's schedule and she needs to
14 reconcile it.
15 Q Are you looking at 155-58?
16 A I'm looking at 57. Okay.
17 Q Actually I'd like you to look back at 57.
18 A Okay.
19 Q You were trying to figure out who Joe,
20 Tony and Kraig are. Do you know who they are?
21 A Well, she says, A little off from Joe's.
22 I received this from Tony and it's a bunch of numbers
23 which is unit counts, I'm assuming the number of
24 units in each area. So she said, I received from
25 Tony and Kraig. That means I'm thinking that she got
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 123
1 that from Tony and Kraig and the numbers are
2 different from Joe's.
3 Q Well, actually Scott Harder received it
4 from Tony and Kraig, right?
5 A Okay. So Scott got it. Never mind. I
6 thought you said this was from Rhonda.
7 Q So 155-57 Tony is Tony Iorio. Would you
8 agree?
9 A I'd agree.
10 Q Kraig is someone else with AV Homes --
11 A That's the only assumption --
12 Q -- is that right?
13 A I would make that assumption, but I don't
14 know.
15 Q Do you know a Kraig at AV Homes?
16 A Not off the top of my head. I don't know
17 Kraig at AV Homes.
18 Q Okay. How about Joe? Do you know who
19 he's with?
20 A Well, Joe -- there's a Joe Covelli who's
21 an attorney that works with AV Homes, but I don't see
22 him having anything to do with the methodology or
23 unit counts. So that's why I don't know who's unit
24 she is off from.
25 Q Okay.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 124
1 A I'd imagine Joe could also be somebody who
2 works for -- it looks like the context of what
3 they're trying to do is Rhonda is trying to help
4 Scott Harder reconcile the number of units between
5 the records that were provided by AV Homes, i.e.,
6 Tony. And when you say a little off from Joe's, that
7 would mean the district's because the district
8 maintains assessment rolls. So I'm sure there's some
9 Joe at the district level somewhere working for
10 either Gary or Fishkind or, you know, one of those
11 people who were maintaining the assessment rolls.
12 That would be my guess.
13 Q Would that be Joe MacLaren?
14 A It could be Joe MacLaren. He works for
15 Fishkind.
16 Q Is that your best guess?
17 A That's my best guess, final answer.
18 Q All right. So now looking at
19 Exhibit 155-58, same email chain but it's got one
20 more email and Rhonda Mossing attaches the Poinciana
21 CDD amendment to Series 2012A supplemental
22 methodology. Do you see that?
23 A Yes. Yes, I see that.
24 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of the
25 email that Rhonda Mossing sent that your firm
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 125
1 produced in this case?
2 A Yes.
3 Q Okay. I'd like you to look at
4 Exhibit 155-59.
5 A Okay.
6 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of the
7 email that Rhonda Mossing received from Scott Harder
8 on July 13, 2016, and that your firm produced in this
9 case?
10 A Yes.
11 Q I'd like you to look at Exhibit 155-60.
12 A Yes. I've got it.
13 Q Is that a true and accurate copy that
14 Rhonda Mossing sent on July 13, 2016?
15 A Yes.
16 Q I'd like you to look at Exhibit 155-61.
17 A Uh-huh.
18 Q And in this one Ms. Mossing attaches what
19 she calls the final report, quarterly.pdf.
20 A Yes.
21 Q Have you seen that before?
22 A I haven't looked at it before, but I know
23 what it is.
24 Q What is it?
25 A It looks like a quarterly disclosure
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 126
1 report that the district files on Emma (phonetic).
2 Q Is that a continuing disclosure report?
3 A Well, it says referencing the 2012 bonds.
4 So it would be a continuing disclosure report
5 required in accordance with the continuing disclosing
6 agreement with the district in 2012.
7 Q And is that a true and accurate copy of an
8 email with its attachments that Rhonda Mossing sent
9 to Scott Harder on July 13, 2016?
10 A Yes.
11 Q I'd ask you to look at Exhibit
12 Number 155-62. Is that a true and accurate copy of
13 an email that you sent to Tony Iorio and a copy to
14 Rhonda Mossing on July 27, 2016?
15 A No. I think I was just copying an email
16 that I received from Tony.
17 Q Please explain that.
18 A I believe Tony sent a letter that he was
19 planning on sending to Tony and he had a question on
20 how some of the bonds work and I just clarified a
21 couple of things for him.
22 Q First of all, let me back up. At the top
23 this purports to be an email that you sent to Tony
24 Iorio and Rhonda Mossing on July 27, 2016.
25 A Right.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 127
1 Q Do you believe that you did copy and paste
2 this text into an email and send that email on that
3 day?
4 A Yes.
5 Q Okay. So this is your email. But what I
6 hear you testifying is you don't believe you drafted
7 the text that's addressed to Mike, Howard and Scott;
8 is that right?
9 A Right. That's what I'm saying.
10 Q Okay. And who did draft this text?
11 A I think it's somebody from AV Homes.
12 Q And just a minute ago you said you thought
13 it was something that Tony Iorio drafted; is that
14 right?
15 A Well, I should just say somebody from his
16 office. I think it was probably drafted from
17 somebody from AV Homes.
18 Q Okay. And so you cut and pasted his draft
19 into your email and you sent it back to him?
20 A Yes.
21 Q Okay. And did you then maybe correct some
22 of the stuff that was related to bond -- to bond
23 numbers or bond issues? Is that what you're saying?
24 A No. He had -- I remember him asking,
25 saying this is our response but can you make sure
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 128
1 we're right on how O&M -- he wanted to confirm that
2 O&M is billed separate from the debt service and
3 things like that. So I was just basically answering
4 issues about the mechanics of the district again.
5 Q Okay. So would it be accurate to say that
6 you reviewed and cleaned up his draft to make sure it
7 was technically correct on bond related issues?
8 A I'd say I reviewed it to make sure it's
9 technically correct.
10 Q And then did you make some edits to it and
11 send it back to him?
12 A I don't believe so, but I may have, you
13 know, tried to change a word or something with it,
14 but I do not know.
15 Q So the concepts that are discussed in this
16 email are -- belong to AV Homes.
17 A Correct.
18 Q Is that correct?
19 A That's correct.
20 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
21 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) And they authored them
22 and sent them to you?
23 A Yes.
24 Q Okay. And so the consent that -- by the
25 way, Mike, Howard and Scott are Mike Eckert, Howard
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 129
1 Osterman and Scott Harder; is that correct?
2 A I believe so.
3 Q Okay. And they say they received a
4 valuation report the previous day from the district
5 counsel's office; is that correct?
6 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
7 A Yes.
8 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Did you see that
9 valuation report that was sent on July 26, 2016?
10 A I don't know what day I saw or anything.
11 As I say, the context of this was just Tony or
12 somebody at AV Homes sending -- you know, saying
13 we're very upset, we're sending this letter, make
14 sure we're not saying something wrong. So I looked
15 at it and just sent it back.
16 MR. ANDERSEN: Mike, maybe you all could
17 get us a copy of the valuation report that was
18 provided from district counsel's office on July 26,
19 2016. Do you see that, whatever that valuation
20 report that's referenced there?
21 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) So this statement in
22 the middle of the page, would you agree that that's
23 attributable to AV Homes where it says, quote, Your
24 report is flawed and the underlying valuation is
25 totally unacceptable and inconsistent with your
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 130
1 standard position?
2 A Yes. That's obviously an AV position.
3 Q Okay. And then the first bullet point
4 under that where they say, The valuation report
5 reduces capital revenue by 33 million to provide
6 funds for future renewal and total replacement of
7 facilities, do you remember that issue being
8 discussed?
9 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
10 A No, I don't remember the specific -- I
11 just remember specifically they were upset and they
12 said, we're sending this letter, we may terminate
13 negotiations, but can you make sure we're -- got it
14 right on how to handle -- and that's why they were
15 interested in how does O&M get billed.
16 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. And so at this
17 point EFG was going to reduce capital revenue by 33
18 million to provide for renewal and replacement; is
19 that correct?
20 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
21 A I'm reading this. I don't have the
22 report, so I don't know. That's -- you're asking me
23 to speculate. I can read this language of what
24 you're saying, but I don't have the report in front
25 of me and I don't remember the report, so . . .
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 131
1 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. And really what
2 I'm asking you for is your memory of what was going
3 on July 27, 2016.
4 A Just looking at this email it refreshes my
5 memory that there was a time when the negotiating
6 team and AV Homes had reached some impasses over some
7 items and AV Homes said, we're going to send a letter
8 but we need to make sure we're technically correct,
9 could you review it, could you look at it, make sure
10 we're not saying anything wrong. And they just kept
11 on hounding me with questions on how does R&R get
12 billed in other systems.
13 Q Okay. And who was asking you those
14 questions?
15 A Tony.
16 Q Okay. And the big issue was if everything
17 was going to reduce the purchase price by 33 million
18 for reserve and replacement then AV Homes was out; is
19 that right?
20 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
21 A Well, the big issue was apparently AV
22 Homes didn't want them reducing the purchase price
23 for renew and replacement. But as I say, I wasn't
24 present in any of the negotiations between them and
25 Scott and Mike and all them, so I don't know what the
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 132
1 -- you know, I'm just reading this letter in the
2 context that I received it.
3 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) In the context of the
4 conversations that you were having with Mr. Iorio and
5 others at the time, right?
6 A Exactly.
7 Q Okay. Do you know how this got resolved?
8 A I really don't because, to be honest, I
9 kind of stayed away from it while the negotiating
10 team was working with them. And at some point they
11 came back and they said they think they have a deal.
12 Q So this was negotiation directly between
13 KB Homes and EFG group, Howard Osterman and Scott
14 Harder; is that correct?
15 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
16 A You know, Mike, yeah. I think -- and I
17 could be wrong. I don't know if Gary Moyer should
18 have been on there, but I just know I thought it was
19 Mike and EFG were kind of leading the negotiating
20 team. That was my assumption. As I say, I never
21 attended a meeting, so I wouldn't know.
22 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) And would you agree
23 with me that EFG ultimately conceded and agreed that
24 there would be $0 for reserve and replacement funding
25 in the purchase price?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 133
1 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
2 A I can't comment on that. I don't know.
3 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) You don't know whether
4 they --
5 A I don't know if they conceded their point.
6 As I say, I just don't know.
7 Q Okay.
8 A I don't know how this was resolved. I
9 don't.
10 Q I don't think I asked you this already but
11 just to confirm, you did send this email on July 27,
12 2016, correct?
13 A It looks like I did, yes.
14 Q I'm going to ask you to look at
15 Exhibit 155-63. I just want you to confirm that
16 that's a true and accurate copy of a calendar
17 appointment dated August 2nd, 2016, between Scott
18 Harder and Rhonda Mossing that your firm produced in
19 this case.
20 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
21 A Yes.
22 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) And I'd ask you to look
23 at Exhibit 155-64. And can you confirm that that is
24 an email string which you last forwarded on August
25 3rd, 2016, to Rhonda Mossing, Mike Eckert and Gary
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 134
1 Moyer?
2 A Well, you just said -- you just said --
3 which number -- or we're dealing with 64? I'm out of
4 order here. All right.
5 Q Yeah. 155-64.
6 A Okay.
7 Q Can you confirm that's a true and accurate
8 copy of the email string that it purports to be?
9 A Yes.
10 Q And you sent that email on August 3rd,
11 2016?
12 A Yes.
13 Q And then I'd ask you to look at
14 Exhibit 155-65. Can you confirm that that's an email
15 that you sent on September 2nd, 2016, and it's a true
16 and accurate copy?
17 A Yes.
18 Q You used the term "pathetic." Was that
19 just in reference to the meetings getting delayed?
20 A We just could never seem to get a meeting
21 together and I just take a lot of -- I'm just
22 sensitive to interest rate exposure that we've all
23 been -- that we've all been subject to it for the
24 last year and a half. So I get frustrated when
25 meetings get canceled.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 135
1 Q Okay. So we've completed composite
2 Exhibit 155, which is Sub Exhibits 51 through 65.

11 A Yes.
12 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at

1 Mossing to Scott Harder on September 29, 2016, and

9 A Yes.
10 Q Please look at Exhibit 156-79. Is that a
11 true and accurate copy of an email that Rhonda
12 Mossing sent to Scott Harder on September 30, 2016,
13 and that is -- has been produced by your firm in this
14 case?
15 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
16 A Yes.
17 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at
18 Exhibit 156-80. Is that a true and accurate copy of
19 an email that you sent on October 2nd, 2016?
20 A Yes.
21 Q Please look at Exhibit 156-81. Is that a
22 true and accurate copy of an email that you sent on
23 October 4, 2016?
24 A Yes.
25 Q Did you produce in this case the text
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 139
1 messages that you sent between you and Tony Iorio?
2 A I don't believe I did. I don't know.
3 Q Could you just retain those and print them
4 and send them to us after the deposition?
5 A If I can -- let me see if I can make a
6 record of them.
7 Q Okay. Thanks. And I guess if you needed
8 any technical expertise and help in getting that I
9 could get a person to you that could help you do
10 that.
11 A Sure.
12 Q But the important thing would be to retain
13 them at this point. Is that agreeable?
14 THE WITNESS: John?
15 MR. WAECHTER: Yeah. You just want him to
16 maintain them at this point, right? You're not
17 asking for copies?
18 MR. ANDERSEN: Well, actually I'd like
19 copies, but if he can print or somehow produce the
20 text messages between he and Mr. Iorio or anybody
21 else involved with this deal, Harder, Fishkind, I
22 mean, Plenzler any of the district people certainly
23 we'd like Mr. Mulshine and Ms. Mossing to produce
24 their text messages that have to do with this case.
25 But equally important if they're not able to produce
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 140
1 them in some way is to retain them.
2 MR. WAECHTER: I understand.
3 MR. ANDERSEN: Fair enough.
4 MR. WAECHTER: Yes.
5 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) So I'd ask you to look
6 at Exhibit 156-82. Is that a true and accurate copy
7 of an email that you sent on October 4, 2016?
8 A Yes.
9 Q You were talking to Mike Eckert and Scott
10 Harder and you said, Both of you did a great job
11 today.
12 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
13 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) To what were you
14 referring?
15 A I just remember they had to do a
16 presentation to the board and they did a great job
17 answering questions and with the presentation. I
18 thought it was a concise, clear presentation.
19 Q Would that be the supplemental EFG report
20 being presented to the board?
21 A I don't know. I'd have to look at the
22 agenda.
23 Q Okay. Please look at Exhibit 156-83. Is
24 that a true and accurate copy of an email that you
25 received from Rhonda Mossing on October 6, 2016?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 141
1 A Correct.
2 Q Please look at Exhibit 156-84.
3 A Uh-huh.
4 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of an
5 email that you sent on October 9, 2016?
6 A Correct. Yes.
7 Q Can you explain what this means when you
8 refer to an assessment revenue stream of 5,504,292?
9 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
10 A Can you tell me where you're speaking to?
11 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) In the first sentence
12 of that email, Exhibit 156-84.
13 A That must be referencing to an assessment
14 treatment that's driven by the -- based upon rates
15 that we were given to assume by the district. So
16 that would be the annual debt service.
17 Q Okay. Do you know whether they ever
18 changed the variables to reflect the 2017 rates?
19 A I don't think they did. I think the only
20 thing they've been changing the variables for are the
21 improvements. Like I say, we kind of dropped off in
22 interest rates every now and then. I believe they
23 said what's the impact of interest rates and we say
24 the price goes down when rates go higher.
25 Q So can you explain the points where you
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 142
1 say, Here are a few very important points for
2 discussion. You say, If the valuation report was at
3 70 million and you put the R&R on the O&M side, then
4 your valuation is going to increase to 81 million.
5 Can you explain that.
6 A I think there's two assessments here.
7 There's a debt service assessment and there's an O&M
8 assessment. I'm assuming in our conversations I was
9 just saying obviously we'd take it out of it. If
10 it's currently in the debt service side, so it's a
11 decrease to the debt service before we bond it and
12 you put it over on the O&M side, then the price is
13 going to go -- then the valuation is going to go up.
14 Q Because you're not accounting for reserve
15 and replacement?
16 A Right. Well, you're accounting for it.
17 You're accounting for it in the O&M function.
18 Q So in the O&M side you're collecting for
19 it in the future from the CDD residents?
20 A Right.
21 Q So you get a higher purchase price for AV
22 Homes today and you go ahead and just collect the
23 renewal and replacement fund from the residents in
24 the future?
25 A You get a higher -- you get a higher
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 143
1 bonded amount. Whether you use that for AV or you
2 use it for new projects is up to them. It's up to
3 the negotiating team.
4 Q And then you say down at the bottom, Mike
5 and Scott, obviously my analysis is based upon the
6 following assumptions. And the first one is that AV
7 Homes will accept 73 million, maybe 74 million.
8 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
9 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Is that right? That
10 was one of your assumptions?
11 A Yeah, that's an assumption. Obviously
12 somebody in that room, either Scott or Mike, told me
13 that they said they'd take 74. So I say it would be
14 irrational in my mind for them not to take 73 or 74.
15 Q And then I just want to make sure I ask
16 you, can you confirm that this is a true and accurate
17 copy of an email that you sent on October 9, 2016?
18 A Yes.
19 Q I think --
20 A Exhibit 85 looks like the same exhibit as
21 84.
22 Q Yeah.
23 MR. ANDERSEN: Harold, is it the same?
24 MR. HOLDER: Let me go back and
25 double-check.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 144
1 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) All right. I'm going
2 to move on to 156-86. Is that a true and accurate
3 copy of an email string that you sent on October 17,
4 2016?
5 A Right.
6 MR. HOLDER: 85 and 84 are the same.
7 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) So on October 17, in
8 that email, Exhibit 156-86, can you tell me why there
9 was a call to review EFG supplement before it was
10 released?
11 A Refreshing my memory by reading it, I
12 think it tells us why, which is to make sure Scott's
13 numbers -- if Scott is issuing a report and it's very
14 important for the board to hold current or decrease
15 the rates, by the time you transfer that over to
16 assessments we need to make sure that Scott's report
17 can be reconciled to Kevin Plenzler's report and
18 Rhonda's analysis of bonds and the tax roll. So we
19 just want to make sure we're dealing with the same
20 amount of units and everything.
21 Q And so it's accurate to say that all the
22 folks on this email received a preliminary copy of
23 EFG's report before it was final?
24 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
25 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Is that correct?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 145
1 A Well, it says prior to the release. So I
2 don't know if I've -- I don't think I had seen it
3 when this email went out.
4 Q Okay. Could you please look at
5 Exhibit 156-87.
6 A Okay.
7 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of an
8 email that you sent on October 18, 2016?
9 A Yes.
10 Q Please look at Exhibit 156-88.
11 A Okay.
12 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of an
13 email that you sent on October 18, 2016, with a
14 series of attachments?
15 A Yes.
16 Q So what did you mean when you said in that
17 email, We just need a nexus for the assessment
18 methodology that equals 3.8 million?
19 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
20 A What I mean by that was it was the
21 direction of the board that they wanted -- they
22 wanted everybody's rates to stay as they currently
23 are for each neighborhood, and the rates vary by each
24 neighborhood. So what we needed to do was be able to
25 apply assessment credits -- some form of assessment
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 146
1 credits, which that's the $3.8 million, so that we
2 could balance the assessments to where they all -- so
3 a neighborhood that's paying $65 gets to keep paying
4 $65 and another neighborhood that's paying 68 gets to
5 keep paying $68. That was the board's direction. So
6 we needed some kind of a documentation that could go
7 into the assessment methodology giving a reason to
8 apply that credit that AV Homes was giving up.
9 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. And so then
10 eventually I guess you all came up with a name for
11 that assessment credit. You call it the equalization
12 payment --
13 A Yes.
14 Q -- is that right?
15 A Yes.
16 Q Okay. And then Mr. Plenzler had never
17 used the term "equalization payment" in an assessment
18 methodology before. Do you know where he got that
19 term?
20 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
21 A I don't know.
22 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Have you ever been
23 involved with a bond transaction where the assessment
24 methodology included something called an equalization
25 payment?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 147
1 A No.
2 Q First time on that one?
3 A Well, there's always credits, but whatever
4 you want to call it. This one calls it an assessment
5 equalization credit.
6 Q Okay. Exhibit Number 156-89.
7 A Yes.
8 Q Can you please confirm that that is a true
9 and accurate copy of an email that you sent on
10 October 18, 2016 -- that was kind of hard to
11 follow -- but with the email string that's attached?
12 A Yes.
13 Q And Exhibit 157-90 (sic), can you confirm
14 that that is an email -- a true and accurate copy of
15 an email that you received on October 18, 2016?
16 A Yes.
17 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
18 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. And then we're
19 done with Exhibit -- Composite Exhibit 156. I just
20 want to confirm that with each one of those exhibits
21 that's part of Exhibit 156 that these are all emails
22 that your firm has maintained pursuant to the
23 regulatory requirement to keep all your emails with
24 respect to a transaction.
25 A Yes.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 148
1 Q And that's something that you do in the
2 regular course of business for all of your
3 transactions; is that correct?
4 A Correct.
5 Q And now I just want to ask you a general
6 question about the exhibits we've looked at so far --
7 A Sure.
8 Q -- Exhibits 154, 154 and 155, 156.
9 They're all composite exhibits. And I think you
10 reviewed each email in each of those composite
11 exhibits and each attachment. Is it your
12 understanding that the information in those emails
13 was supplied by a person with knowledge of what they
14 were talking about in each particular email?
15 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
16 A Well, the only caveat I'd say to that is
17 you did reference some emails that came from some
18 people that are just assistants in the office. So
19 they were just passing along information. So they
20 wouldn't be -- they'd know very little about the
21 transaction.
22 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. But -- okay. So
23 -- and do you believe that each one of these
24 documents was sent contemporaneously with when the
25 people that sent them, whether you were the sending
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 149
1 party or receiving party, that they were sent
2 contemporaneously with when they were prepared by
3 those people?
4 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
5 A Yes.
6 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. I'm going to
7 look at Exhibit 157.
8 (Recess from 5:04 to 5:09 p.m.)
9 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Will you please look at
10 Exhibit 157-91, Composite Exhibit 157.
11 A Yes.
12 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of an
13 email that you received on October 18, 2016?
14 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
15 A Yes.
16 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at
17 Exhibit 157-92. Is that a true and accurate copy of
18 an email --
19 A Yes.
20 Q -- that you received on October 18, 2016?
21 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
22 A Yes.
23 MR. ANDERSEN: What's the form objection?
24 MR. ALAO: Well, it was sent from Rhonda
25 Mossing. He received it. However there are -- it's
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 150
1 an email chain, isn't it? That's my objection.
2 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at
3 Exhibit 157-93. Is that a true and accurate copy of
4 an email that you received on October 18, 2016?
5 A Yes.
6 Q Please look at Exhibit 157-94. Is that a
7 true and accurate copy of an email that you received
8 on October 18, 2016?
9 A Yes.
10 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
11 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at
12 Exhibit 157-95. Is that a true and accurate copy of
13 an email that you received on October 18, 2016?
14 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
15 A Yes.
16 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at
17 Exhibit 156-96. Is that a true and accurate copy of
18 an email that you received -- I'm sorry, strike that.
19 Is that a true and accurate copy of an
20 email that Rhonda Mossing sent to Scott Harder on
21 October 19, 2016, with a copy of the attachments
22 thereto that your firm produced in this case?
23 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
24 A Yes.
25 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) And I notice that you
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 151
1 were on the email at the bottom of the page, right?
2 A Yes.
3 Q Okay. And so the attachment is a -- is
4 that -- how would you refer to that attachment?
5 A A bond sizing.
6 Q Okay. Do they sometimes refer to that as
7 the numbers?
8 A The numbers, yeah. It could be the
9 numbers, yes.
10 Q Okay.
11 A That would be accurate.
12 Q So at this time October -- at this time,
13 October 18, 2016, when these numbers were run, the
14 anticipated purchase price was $73,700,000, right?
15 A Well, that's the number we were given.
16 Q And that's the number on the first page
17 there?
18 A Right. That's the number we were given.
19 Q Look at Exhibit 157-97. Is that a true
20 and accurate copy of an email that Rhonda Mossing
21 sent to Scott Harder on October 19, 2016, and that
22 your firm produced as a document in this case?
23 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
24 A Yes.
25 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 152
1 Exhibit 157-98. Is that a true and accurate copy of
2 an email with an attachment that you received on
3 October 19, 2016?
4 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
5 A Yes.
6 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look 157-99. Is
7 that a true and accurate copy of an email that you
8 received on October 19, 2016, from Scott Harder?
9 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
10 A Yes.
11 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you know why Scott
12 Harder was asking has this been sent to Fishkind?
13 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
14 A Which one are you talking about, 99?
15 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Yes.
16 A Well, because, once again, just trying to
17 reconcile, Fishkind was working on a methodology
18 report and Scott was in charge --
19 Q Methodology?
20 A Yes. So I'm sure when he sends to
21 Fishkind he means to Fishkind the firm. During that
22 time period there was a lot of work to make sure we
23 were reconciling the assessments to Scott's
24 feasibility report.
25 Q And when you say Fishkind the firm, you
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 153
1 mean Kevin Plenzler, the person?
2 A That's my assumption here, yes.

4 build some of their own recreational facilities.
5 Q And at this time in October of 2015 that
6 was right after the meeting that you said didn't go
7 well, right?
8 A Yeah. And so one of the comments was
9 should we be building -- one of the issues that staff
10 thought about was should we be building our own
11 facilities. I don't believe that ever went anywhere.

7 A Yes.

AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 158
1 on January 5th, 2017?
2 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
3 A Yes.
4 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) I'm sorry, is that --
5 that's not one that you received. My mistake.
6 A Oh. You're right.
7 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of an
8 email that Gary Shullaw sent to Rhonda Mossing of
9 your firm on January 5th, 2017, and a copy of which
10 your firm produced in this case?
11 A Yes.
12 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
13 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at
14 Exhibit 158-117. Is that a true and accurate copy of
15 an email that Mr. Shullaw sent to Ms. Mossing on
16 January 5th, 2017, and a copy of which your firm

18 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.

25 A January 4?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 159
1 Q Yes.
2 A Okay.
3 Q What is it that is driving you to say that
4 in order to fund the contracted purchase price plus
5 11 million the project needs to be funded with just
6 under 81 million?
7 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
8 A I think what I'm saying there is we need
9 81 million in proceeds if we're going to get the
10 contracted purchase price plus the 11 million.
11 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. And that
12 objective is what -- is that the reason why at this
13 time they decided to use a wraparound structure?
14 A I think they were just using the
15 wraparound structure to keep assessments stable on
16 the lots that they're going to continue to own.
17 Q Could you please explain the wraparound
18 structure.
19 A Wraparound structure means if you have
20 existing debt that's outstanding that matures in less
21 than 30 years you can issue debt that has low debt
22 service in the early years and then higher debt
23 service in the later years to wrap around the
24 existing structure thus creating one overall level
25 stream. I believe the district didn't want to use
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 160
1 this though.
2 Q So they rejected the wraparound structure?
3 A I believe they did.
4 Q Is that the way the deal sits today?
5 A I believe -- to my knowledge, yes.
6 Q Please look at Exhibit 158-118.
7 A Yes.
8 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of an

AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 161
1 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of an
2 email that you received from Tony Iorio on
3 January 16, 2017?
4 A Yes.
5 Q Do you agree with the accuracy of the
6 statements that Mr. Iorio is making in this email
7 that's marked as Exhibit 158-120?
8 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
9 A I couldn't agree or disagree with him.
10 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Well, did you read the
11 email when you got it?
12 A No. I'm just looking at it right now.
13 Q Are you saying that you didn't read it
14 back on January 16, 2017?
15 A I don't remember reading it back in 2017.
16 Am I supposed to be looking at the summaries and
17 takeaways?
18 Q I'll tell you what. Why don't you -- I'll
19 give you just a second to review the email and then
20 I'll ask you a few questions.
21 A Okay. Go ahead and ask a question.
22 Q Does reviewing this email refresh your
23 recollection of receiving it back in January of '17?
24 A Yeah, I probably received it. I'm sure --
25 yes. It's kind of ringing a bell, some of the stuff.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 162
1 Q And is there anything in here that strikes
2 you as not being accurate at the time that it was
3 sent to you? Like do you disagree with the accuracy
4 of any of it?
5 A I couldn't, you know, talk of mold
6 proposals and whatever. I can't speak to the
7 accuracy of most of this stuff.
8 Q So in other words, you don't have -- you
9 don't know whether or not it's accurate?
10 A I don't know whether or not it's accurate.
11 Q But is there anything in here that you
12 know to be not accurate?
13 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
14 A Given that it's facts that he stated from
15 the meeting and some of his own opinion and thoughts,
16 I have no reason to disagree or say that this is
17 wrong.
18 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) So looking at the top
19 of the first page, who is Roger Kraig?
20 A He's an executive with AV Homes.
21 Q Okay. And Matt and Steve Orosz, they're
22 both with AV Homes as well, right?
23 A Yes.
24 Q Okay. Who is Dan Fitzpatrick?
25 A I don't know.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 163
1 Q How about Kelly Finley?
2 A You brought her name up in another email
3 before that I believe she sent but I don't know. I
4 don't know.
5 Q Okay. How about Robert Cangien
6 (phonetic)?
7 A I don't know.
8 Q Can you -- at the top of the last page, it
9 says, ELM has done a tremendous job gaining the
10 board's confidence on the budget with the exception
11 of moving off the reserves used in EFG's valuation
12 report. Who is ELM?
13 A I believe he's referring to the people who
14 actually manage the facilities, the operator.
15 Q Evergreen Lifestyles?
16 A That makes sense. You're hitting me cold
17 with ELM but Evergreen Lifestyles would make sense.
18 I recognize the name Evergreen.
19 Q Okay. Do you agree that supervisor
20 Epstein was put in her place and clearly outnumbered
21 now by the rest of the board?
22 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
23 A You know, I don't even know if I attended
24 this meeting. So to say that's his opinion, I
25 wouldn't agree or disagree.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 164
1 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) What do you think he
2 meant when he said, Failure is not an option?
3 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
4 A I just took it as he want to get this
5 done.
6 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) I'm going to ask you to
7 look at Exhibit 158-121.
8 A Okay.
9 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of an
10 email that you received on February 1st, 2017, with
11 the two attachments that are referenced?
12 A Yes.
13 Q Do you recall receiving this document from
14 Tony Iorio?
15 A I'm sure I did.
16 Q Do you believe there's anything in
17 Mr. Iorio's email that is not accurate?
18 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
19 A I don't -- nothing comes to my -- nothing
20 comes to my attention that appears to be inaccurate.
21 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you see in the
22 summary and takeaways it says, MBS and PRAG still
23 must understand the financial intellect of the board
24 in their presentations and dumb it down to help them
25 understand?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 165
1 A Okay.
2 Q Did you do that?
3 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
4 A No. I mean, we -- we -- when we give a
5 presentation on bonds it's a very complex topic and
6 sometimes people tell us that you need to, you know,
7 keep it a little simpler in the presentation, but
8 that's common.
9 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) So when you presented
10 to the Poinciana and the Poinciana West joint board
11 meeting, did you dumb it down to help them understand
12 it?
13 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
14 A I think he's saying that we didn't.
15 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) He's saying that you
16 did not?
17 A He says, MBS must still understand the
18 financial intellect of the board members in
19 presentations and dumb it down to help them
20 understand. So when he says they still must
21 understand, I kind of took that as we didn't do it or
22 something. I don't know. PRAG was making most of
23 the presentation so PRAG was presenting the financial
24 data at that point. I wasn't.
25 Q So when it -- if you look at the last two
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 166
1 pages of this exhibit there's these wrap debt service
2 rates for Areas 2 and 3.
3 A Uh-huh.
4 Q Was that part of your presentation?
5 A I think -- I think that PRAG presented
6 everything. I believe PRAG did the entire
7 presentation.
8 Q And was this the meeting where they
9 rejected the wrap debt service?
10 A I believe they rejected it for Areas 1 but
11 accepted it for Areas 2 and 3.
12 Q As we sit here today if the deal were to
13 go forward we would have wrap debt service for Areas
14 2 and 3?
15 A I believe that's what they're saying, but
16 obviously I've been focused on a lot of other deals
17 since this one has been stalled. If it ever gets
18 moving again I'll blow the dust off all this and
19 figure it out.
20 Q I'd like to you look at Exhibit 158-122.
21 A Okay.
22 Q Can you confirm that that's a true and
23 accurate copy of a calendar appointment for a phone
24 call from Scott Harder and Rhonda Mossing on February
25 3rd, 2017, that your firm produced in this case?

1 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
2 A Yes.
3 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at Exhibit
4 158-123. Can you confirm that that's a true and
5 accurate copy of an email that you received from
6 Kevin Plenzler on February 6, 2017?
7 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
8 A Yes.
9 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at
10 Exhibit 128-124. Can you confirm that that's an
11 email that you received from Gary Shullaw dated
12 February 6, 2017?
13 A Yes.
14 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
15 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) I guess I need to go
16 back for just a second to Exhibit 120. I'm sorry.
17 A That's fine.
18 Q On Page 2?
19 A Yes.
20 Q In Paragraph 2 -- I'm sorry, it's
21 Exhibit 121.
22 A Okay.
23 Q Page 2, Paragraph 2, it says, Preliminary
24 assessment methodology. It says, Meetings held last
25 week with the supervisors to explain our position to
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 168
1 maximize the assessments so the transaction was not
2 jeopardized knowing the uncertainty of interest rates
3 and was again explained in detail on the floor by TI
4 needing flexibility to make the transaction work.
5 Were you aware of those meetings that were
6 -- happened a week before February 1st, 2017?
7 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
8 A I don't believe so. I don't know what
9 meetings you're referencing.
10 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Well, I'm referencing
11 the meetings that Mr. Iorio referenced that he said
12 occurred last week with supervisors.
13 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
14 A Yeah. But I've never attended one-on-one
15 meetings with supervisors. I already said I don't
16 believe I have.
17 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. Do you know
18 whether -- did you hear about meetings from Tony
19 Iorio?
20 A I think I probably heard about them via
21 this email.
22 Q What about discussions with Tony Iorio?
23 A I'm sure if we -- I'm sure if we called we
24 probably discussed this email in discussions.
25 Q What did he tell you about those meetings?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 169
1 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
2 A Just that he was continuing to meet with
3 commissioners and board members and answer their
4 questions and make sure they understand what an
5 assessment cap is and all that, you know, and what
6 the transaction stands for.
7 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you know whether
8 those meetings took place in the sales center in the
9 conference room?
10 A I don't know where they took place.
11 Q I believe I was on Exhibit 158-124. I
12 think I asked you, is that a true and accurate copy
13 of an email that you received on February 6, 2017,
14 from Gary Shullaw.
15 A Let me just get back there, please. Yes.
16 Q Please look at Exhibit 158-125. Is that a
17 true and accurate copy of an email that you received
18 from Kevin Plenzler on February 6, 2017?
19 A Yes.
20 Q Okay. And now I'm done with composite
21 Exhibit Number 158. I'd ask that you confirm that
22 these are all also emails and documents that your
23 firm keeps or maintains and keeps copies of pursuant
24 to the regulatory requirement that you do so for
25 transactions like this.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 170

2 Q Okay. Now I'm going to Exhibit 159-126.

4 received from Kevin Plenzler on February 6, 2017?
5 A Yes.
6 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
7 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at
8 Exhibit 129-127. Is that a true and accurate copy of
9 an email that Rhonda Mossing received from Kevin

12 A Yes.
13 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.

15 Exhibit 119-128. Is that a true and accurate copy of

19 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.

24 on February 7, 2017, and that your firm produced a

3 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at

8 A Yes.
9 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at

AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 172
1 Q Can you tell me what that document is in
2 the attachment.
3 A I'm just looking at it. This is just the
4 beginning draft of a report that would be sent to
5 rating agencies for the bonds.
6 Q Okay. That's a confidential credit rating
7 remediation request that gets sent to the rating
8 agencies?
9 A Yes.
10 Q Has it been sent yet?
11 A No. We were waiting until validation gets
12 done. No use spending the money on the rating if
13 you're not going to -- when you're in delay.
14 Q Do you see the comment on, I guess, Page 3
15 of that report? Do you see how they're numbered in
16 the top left?
17 A Yes.
18 Q And on Page 3 there's a comment that's
19 underlined. It says, There may be a better place for
20 this or better language, but we should explain the
21 assessment equalization credit.
22 A Yes.
23 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
24 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. And do you see
25 how it says, The assessment methodology consultant
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 173
1 has concluded that each home within the districts
2 will recognize the same benefit from the amenities
3 and will therefore have the same principal
4 assessment?
5 A Yes.
6 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
7 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you agree that this
8 comment is a true comment?
9 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
10 A I agree that that's what the assessment
11 methodology consultant said.
12 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you agree that it's,
13 in fact, true that each home within the districts
14 will recognize the same benefit from the amenities?
15 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
16 A That's not my -- you know, I don't make an
17 opinion on that. I don't know if --
18 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Is there any way that
19 you could disagree with that?
20 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
21 A Well, it's an arbitrary conversation. You
22 could say a bigger house maybe benefits more or a
23 house closer to the rec facilities benefits more, but
24 in general you'd hope everybody receives the same
25 benefit. But, once again, that's the methodology
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 174
1 consultant's finding.
2 Q Okay. Please look at Exhibit 159-134.
3 A Okay.
4 Q Is that a true and accurate copy of an
5 email that you received on March 3rd, 2017, from
6 Rhonda Mossing?
7 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
8 A Yes.
9 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at
10 Exhibit 159-135. Now, this appears to be a clean
11 draft of that same confidential credit rating
12 evaluation request; is that right?
13 A Okay.
14 Q Do you agree with that?
15 A I agree with that.
16 Q Is it still in draft form or at this point
17 has it been sent?
18 A Well, it may have been sent, but we did
19 not go forward with the applying for the rating. We
20 stopped the process. And I don't know -- I don't
21 know if Rhonda ever physically sent it to S&P or
22 whether we shut it down before she sent it, but we
23 stopped the rating process.
24 Q Okay. So as we sit here today we have --
25 the rating process has been paused?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 175
1 A Exactly.
2 Q Okay. Please look at Exhibit 159-136. Is
3 that a true and accurate copy of an email that Rhonda
4 Mossing received from Lindsay Whelan on March 29,
5 2016, in which your firm produced in this case
6 together with a copy of the timetable that's
7 attached?
8 A Yes.
9 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
10 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at
11 Exhibit 159-137. Is that a true and accurate copy of
12 an email that Rhonda Mossing received from Bob Gang
13 on May 5th, 2017, and that your firm produced in this
14 case?
15 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
16 A Yes.
17 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at
18 Exhibit 158-138. Is that a true and accurate copy of
19 an email that you received from Tony Iorio on May 9,
20 2017 --
21 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
22 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) -- with its attachments?
23 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
24 A Yes.
25 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 176
1 Exhibit 159-139. Is that a true and accurate copy of
2 an email that you received from Tony Iorio on May 15,
3 2017, with its attachments?
4 A Yes.
5 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
6 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Please look at
7 Exhibit 159-140. Is that a true and accurate copy of
8 an email that you received from Mr. Waechter that was
9 copied to Lindsay Whelan and Mike Eckert and Doug
10 Smith on June 5, 2017?
11 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
12 A Yes.
13 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Did you have a call
14 with Mike Eckert and Doug Smith and Lindsay Whelan?
15 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
16 A I was on a call with them yesterday --
17 THE WITNESS: Or, John, was it yesterday
18 or the day before?
19 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) What was the subject of
20 the calls with them yesterday and the day before?
21 A No. We only had one call, and I could
22 look at my calendar.
23 THE WITNESS: John, do you remember when
24 we had a call?
25 MR. WAECHTER: It was either yesterday or
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 177
1 the day before, but I don't remember which day it
2 was.
3 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) What was the subject of
4 that call?
5 A Just the fact, the timing of the
6 deposition.
7 Q Did Ms. Whelan or Mr. Eckert or Mr. Smith
8 give you any update about the case?
9 A Not really, just the timing that it's
10 going to -- going to a judge on July 18th or 19th,
11 sometime in that timeframe.
12 Q What else did they tell you about?
13 A We just -- we basically just discussed
14 timetable and validation. We did not discuss any
15 emails or anything like that. We didn't discuss any
16 one of these items before us today.
17 Q Okay. And looking back at composite
18 Exhibit 159 in its entirety, are these all emails and
19 documents that your firm has maintained and kept
20 copies of pursuant to the regulatory requirement to
21 maintain those?
22 A Yes.
23 Q All right. I'm going to refer to Exhibit
24 -- Composite Exhibit 160.
25 A Okay.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 178
1 Q And I'll tell you what, each one of these,
2 141 through 147, can you tell me what these are?
3 They have different dates and times on them.
4 A I believe you referred to it before as the
5 numbers.
6 Q Okay. And then is that the same thing as
7 saying the bond sizing?
8 A Yes, bond sizings.
9 Q And so were -- all of these reports that
10 are included in Composite Exhibit 160, are all of
11 these reports that were created by your firm MBS?
12 A I believe so.
13 Q When it says, Prepared by DBC Finance,
14 what does that mean?
15 A We have a license for a software and the
16 software company is DBC.
17 Q Okay. And who is it that created these
18 reports?
19 A Most likely Rhonda Mossing.
20 Q Okay. And so --
21 MR. HOLDER: Carter? Carter?
22 MR. ANDERSEN: Is somebody calling me?
23 Let's go off the record.
24 THE WITNESS: So do you want me to go to
25 another composite besides 160?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 179
1 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Yeah. So we're going
2 to go with 160, which has 141 through 147, and also
3 161, Composite Exhibit 161, that has 148 and 149 and
4 then 162, just the first exhibit in 162, which is
5 150. Really I'm looking at Sub Numbers 141 to 150.
6 Are those all also different versions of the bond
7 sizing or the numbers that were run by your firm?
8 A So 161 is, 148 and 149 and -- yes, that is
9 -- that is a bond sizings that were produced by MBS.
10 Q The most recent?
11 A You also said 162? You also said 162,
12 Sub-number 150 is also.
13 Q Yeah.
14 A Okay.
15 Q Okay. And so the most recent data set of
16 numbers between Exhibits 1 -- Sub Exhibits 141 to 150
17 is the -- it's Exhibit 162-150. Maybe you can walk
18 us through that and just explain what we're looking
19 at here.
20 A Well, the first page is sources and uses
21 and it has the Area 1 bonds, and then it has the Area
22 2 bonds sizings. I believe Area 2 is the undeveloped
23 property in Poinciana. Area 3 is the undeveloped
24 property in Poinciana West, I believe. And you see
25 -- and what happens is if we issue them all in series
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 180
1 and aggregate them it's $89 million of issuance less
2 a market original discount of 777,000 for a total
3 proceeds of 88,507,000.
4 That would be cast against -- that would
5 generate a total project fund of 77,000,456 and
6 then --
7 Q Can you pause right there?
8 A Sure.
9 Q Why the difference between 88,507,000
10 and 77,000,456?
11 A Because of all the capitalized interest
12 and the costs set forth below and the debt service
13 reserve. So you have 88,507 at the top. You also
14 have it at the bottom as the total uses.
15 Q So at this time February 8, 2017 --
16 A Yes.
17 Q -- was it determined that the cost of
18 issuance of these bonds was going to be $3,694,000?
19 A No. That's just the total estimate. That
20 includes, you know, projected legal expenses and
21 everything else and contingencies and everything.
22 Q And is the underwriter's discount, am I
23 right that that's one and a half percent?
24 A That's what it's projected for in this set
25 of numbers.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 181
1 Q And that's pursuant to your contract with
2 the districts?
3 A That's a not to exceed in our contract.
4 Q Do you anticipate that you would discount
5 that or lower it for any reason?
6 A Well, after going through all this
7 probably not, but it's subject to negotiation with
8 the district's financial advisor.
9 Q Can you take us just to each page and give
10 us a brief description of what we're looking at on
11 each page starting with the next page, Page 2.
12 A The first one you're looking at, this is
13 the numbers. If you go back to the first one where
14 it says area, the first column it has recreation
15 bonds 2178-1, and this is for area 1A, which is, as I
16 say, I believe is the Poinciana district developed
17 area.
18 And you'll notice if you go to that Page 2
19 we're assuming a Triple B rating from Standard &
20 Poor's on it, and this is just the bond pricing scale
21 of all of the bonds that are being sold, all the 89
22 million. So you have anything that's rated would
23 have, for instance, in the year 2028 the market rate
24 would be right around 3.69 percent yield. And going
25 all the day to 2047 with a 4.34 percent yield. And
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 182
1 we assumed that the area in 2 and 3 would be non-
2 rated at a 6 percent.
3 Q Okay. And then Page 3?
4 A Page 3 just goes through various
5 calculations like true interest costs, net interest
6 costs. The same with Page 4. This is doing it by
7 series. The same with Page 5 doing it by series,
8 same with Page 6, then Page 7.
9 Q Do you know why there's Area 1A and B?
10 What's A versus B?
11 A I could have this backwards, but I think
12 we're referring to Area A1 as the developed area
13 within Poinciana District and 1B was developed area
14 within Poinciana West. They're two separate
15 districts.
16 Q Okay. So now we're on to Page 7.
17 A It looks like that is a aggregated debt
18 service schedule that shows the annual debt service
19 for all the issued wrapped together.
20 Q Okay. So now we're on to Page 9.
21 A Page 9. And that's really the same table
22 but it's just consolidated by series. It's just
23 showing a different format.
24 Q And Page 10?
25 A Page 10, once again, it's the same thing.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 183
1 It's just going through the -- it's once again just
2 going through the calculations of the annual debt
3 service summaries.
4 Q And then Page 11?
5 A Page 11 is where we start splitting the
6 issues it appears. And I'm looking at this quickly
7 where we do a debt service schedule. I referred to
8 the ones prior like back on Page 7 as aggregate.
9 These would be the individual making up the four
10 series, making up the four different series that are
11 allocated.
12 Q And that takes you through Page 18, right?
13 So then Page 19?
14 A Page 19. Let me see what we have here.
15 This is actually, I believe, the pricing sheet, yes,
16 for the first -- if you go back, the Area 1 bond,
17 this is just the pricing sheet where all their
18 individual bonds are priced. So we have that sheet
19 for each of the four series.
20 Q Then Page 23?
21 A Page 23. This is, once again, an
22 aggregated debt service amount. And what we do is we
23 run it on a November bond year so that we can use
24 that for assessment and budgeting purposes.
25 Q Okay. And then Page 24?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 184
1 A This is where it's just proving, once
2 again, the annual debt service. And what we're doing
3 is we're doing -- trying to test it against the
4 revenue constraints for each different area, Area 1,
5 2, 3 and 4 with the assessments that were in the
6 methodology just to make sure that our debt service
7 is at or less than the amount in the methodology.
8 Q And then how about going to Page 28?
9 A 28, let me see. This is a calculation of
10 bond insurance if we use bond insurance for Areas 1
11 and 1A. It's a calculation of bond premiums.
12 Q And then 29?
13 A Once again, this is that bond solution,
14 just testing out making sure we didn't blow any of
15 the assessment caps.
16 Q Okay. And so is it safe to say that this
17 set of numbers that's Exhibit 162-150, this
18 particular one that's dated February 7, 2017, is the
19 closest to what is currently planned at this time as
20 opposed to the ones that are before it or was this
21 something that's not going to be done?
22 A You know, structure-wise maybe, but
23 obviously I couldn't -- you know, I'd have to do
24 research to tell you where the market is today versus
25 back in February.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 185
1 Q Okay. And is this something that you
2 handle or that Rhonda handles or you tell her, go try
3 this or go try that, or how does that work?
4 A We talk to the assumptions and then she
5 actually runs the software.
6 Q Okay. And so these exhibits, Composite
7 Exhibits 160, 161 and then the first exhibit in 162,
8 are these all documents that you keep copies of
9 pursuant to debt regulatory requirement?
10 A Yes.
11 Q And then I'm going to go to Exhibit --
12 Composite Exhibit 162-151.
13 A Okay.
14 Q Can you tell me what that is.
15 A I honestly -- it looks like some kind of
16 an allocation between assessment areas of costs. I
17 honestly don't know.
18 Q Do you know whether that's a document that
19 was created by MBS?
20 A I don't know if it was created by us, by
21 Kevin Plenzler or by the finance advisor.
22 Q Okay. Can you look at Exhibit 162-152.
23 A Okay.
24 Q Do you recognize that document?
25 A No. It looks like a revenue projection
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 186
1 off of the EFG report.
2 Q Okay. And is this an MBS document created
3 by MBS?
4 A I don't believe it is.
5 Q Okay. Can you please look at
6 Exhibit 162-153.
7 A Okay.
8 Q Do you recognize that report?
9 A Well, it looks like a bond report or --
10 Q Something that Rhonda Mossing created?
11 A Yes.
12 Q Do you know why it references Scenario 5?
13 A No idea. I don't.
14 Q Would you please look at Exhibit 162-154.
15 A Okay.
16 Q How about this one? Do you know, is that
17 an MBS created document?
18 A It looks like it. It looks like an MBS --
19 Q Have you seen it before?
20 A I'm sure I have. I just would need to
21 familiarize myself with it again.
22 Q Is that -- is this a bond sizing?
23 A Yeah. I think it's probably a bond sizing
24 and trying to analyze the various structures that we
25 were asked to analyze, such as wraparound, level, et
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 187
1 cetera.
2 Q Do you know who created it?
3 A Well, probably a lot of the work was done
4 by Rhonda Mossing.
5 Q Lease look at Exhibit 162-155.
6 A Okay.
7 Q Can you tell me what that is?
8 A It looks like an analysis of a tax roll.
9 Q Of the what?
10 A It looks like an analysis of a tax roll.
11 Q Okay. Do you know who created this?
12 A Well, I'd guess the first schedule is
13 probably created by Rhonda.
14 Q This looks like the same as that document
15 that might have been sent to Harold Osterman.
16 A I know about the time you get to the third
17 page it's a familiar document again.
18 Q How about Exhibit 162-156? Can you tell
19 me what that is?
20 A That looks to be -- it looks to be an
21 allocation of lots based upon whether they're
22 developed or owned by AV Homes, and then for some
23 reason it looks like a reconciliation of the
24 assessments levied this year.
25 Q Do you know who created this?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 188
1 A I would guess Rhonda.
2 Q When you say assessments levied this year,
3 have debt service assessments been levied in 2017?
4 A Well, you have debt service assessments
5 that are levied for the old bond issues for the
6 existing bond issues.
7 Q Okay. But looking at Composite
8 Exhibit 162 as a whole, are those true and accurate
9 copies of -- I mean, I'm sorry. Are those documents
10 that you've maintained in your files pursuant to the
11 regulatory requirement to keep copies of everything?
12 A Yes.
13 Q What conversations have you had with Tony
14 Iorio about this transaction since the beginning of
15 January -- of 2017?
16 A Honestly, we just haven't talked as much
17 as we -- we just haven't talked as much about it. So
18 just every now and then he'll, you know, call me and
19 ask me for an update on the bond market. That's what
20 he's usually concerned about.
21 Q Okay. How about CDC supervisors? Have
22 you ever had individual conversations with them?
23 A I cannot remember a conversation
24 one-on-one.
25 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 189
1 A I may have been standing around after a
2 meeting and I remember once talking but just niceties
3 to one of the board members, but in the context of a
4 board meeting, but I don't have the contact
5 information of board members.
6 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. And so I just
7 want to kind of follow up with an earlier question.
8 I know we established that you don't have any
9 fiduciary duty to the districts, correct? Right?
10 A Correct.
11 Q Is it any anywhere in your relationship
12 with the districts that you should be making like a
13 best effort to help them obtain the lowest valuation
14 at which they could purchase this property?
15 A I will say it this way. We have a long
16 relationship with that district and a lot of other
17 districts and I take very serious that I don't want
18 to proceed with a transaction that a district is not
19 -- does not make the district happy so my younger
20 employees in future years can do the re-fundings and
21 we can keep -- just from a business standpoint we
22 take very serious making sure our customers or our
23 clients receive good transaction and good execution.
24 And I don't think we'd be this kind of market share
25 if we didn't.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 190
1 MR. ANDERSEN: Okay. I don't know if
2 anybody else on the phone has any questions.
3 MR. ALAO: I've some questions for Mr.
4 Mulshine. This is Michael Alao, for the record.
5 EXAMINATION
6 BY MR. ALAO:
7 Q Mr. Mulshine, regarding the email strings
8 in the composite exhibits that were covered during
9 this deposition, is it true that you're making
10 assumptions that emails forwarded to you or included
11 in a response that you were copied on have not been
12 altered in any way?
13 MR. ANDERSEN: Objection to form. You can
14 answer.
15 A Correct.
16 Q (BY MR. ALAO) And would you agree that
17 you cannot speak to the accuracy of emails that
18 yourself did not send?
19 MR. ANDERSEN: Objection to form.
20 A Correct.
21 Q (BY MR. ALAO) Would you agree that you
22 can't speak to the accuracy of emails that you did
23 not receive?
24 MR. ANDERSEN: Objection to form.
25 A Correct.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 191
1 Q (BY MR. ALAO) And what would your -- what
2 is your response to the suggestion that your
3 involvement and communication with Avatar and the
4 district amounts to some sort of conspiracy or that
5 you were unduly uninfluenced by Avatar?
6 MR. ANDERSEN: Objection to form.
7 A I think it's 100 percent absurd.
8 Q (BY MR. ALAO) I apologize, I'm going to
9 ask it again because the objection. But what is your
10 response to the suggestion that your involvement and
11 communications with Avatar and the district amounts
12 to some sort of conspiracy?
13 MR. ANDERSEN: Objection to form.
14 A 100 percent false and offensive.
15 Q (BY MR. ALAO) And why do you say it's
16 false and offensive?
17 A Because we're serving on a transaction and
18 we're answering questions, we're providing support,
19 and we never got involved with the negotiations. So
20 it's just an absurd thought.
21 Q And what is your response to the
22 suggestion that AV overcame the will of the boards or
23 exerted undue influence over their decisions in
24 connection with this transaction?
25 MR. ANDERSEN: Objection, form and
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 192
1 foundation.
2 A Once again, I think that's incorrect.
3 Q (BY MR. ALAO) Is it unusual in a
4 transaction like this for you to communicate with the
5 seller?
6 MR. ANDERSEN: Objection to form.
7 A No. It's actually common.
8 Q (BY MR. ALAO) Would it be unusual for you
9 to not have communicated with the seller in this
10 transaction?
11 A That would be unusual.
12 Q Why would that be unusual?
13 A Because in a transaction like this the
14 seller is actually going to be subject to several
15 million dollars a year of assessments, so they
16 obviously have an awful lot of questions on how the
17 assessments are going to work. So a lot of it is
18 educating.
19 Number two, we have a responsibility, a
20 regulatory responsibility to do our due diligence
21 before we underwrite a bond issue. So we have to
22 understand the credit quality of the people
23 underlying the assessments. So in this case we need
24 to thoroughly understand the credit quality of land
25 that's owned by AV Homes. So without discussing that
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 193
1 with the developer it's impossible to do our job that
2 we're required to do.
3 Q There was a question earlier regarding a
4 document -- and give me just a moment. I need to
5 pull up the exhibit. So you were asked earlier about
6 a statement that you're not required to act in the
7 best interest of the district. Do you recall that?
8 A Yes.
9 Q Is that standard language that you send to
10 your clients in transactions such as this one?
11 A I'm going to ask my counsel to help me
12 with this answer. But from a regulatory standpoint
13 we have to disclose to any client we have that any
14 underwriter, as required by FINRA, our regulating
15 board, has to disclose to the entity which they're
16 purchasing bonds from that they are acting as a
17 principal and they are not a fiduciary of the issuer.
18 Q So is it fair to say that that's the sort
19 of statement that you would normally include when
20 you're acting in this role in a transaction like
21 this?
22 A Yes. In fact, any time we send out an
23 investment banking agreement it contains the language
24 that was referred to that was -- that I was asked
25 about in a prior exhibit.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 194
1 Q And what about the statement regarding not
2 having a fiduciary duty to the district? Do you
3 recall that question --
4 A I recall the question.
5 Q -- about a statement that was sent to the
6 board of supervisors in which it stated that in your
7 role you do not have a fiduciary duty to the
8 district? Do you recall that line of questioning?
9 A Yes.
10 Q And is that also a statement that you
11 would normally include to your clients in a
12 transaction such as this one?
13 A Every time we get hired.
14 Q What was your role in EFG being selected
15 as the independent consultant to value the
16 transaction?
17 A It was -- it was totally the district
18 selection, and I thought they had a number of people
19 that they were talking to, and some of them had asked
20 me for information so they could propose and knew
21 what they were looking at, but that was it, and then
22 providing numbers to them as support after that.
23 Q Have you worked with EFG in other matters?
24 A I don't think I've worked with that firm
25 in other matters. As I say, I think I remember Scott
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 195
1 from a long, long, long time ago -- you're testing my
2 memory. Back in the '90s or 2000 timeframe I worked
3 with Scott on something, but I haven't worked before
4 or since with EFG, and I certainly haven't as an MBS
5 principal I've never worked on a transaction that
6 involved EFG besides this transaction.
7 Q Do you consider EFG to be competent as a
8 valuation consultant?
9 A Yes, I do. And I consider their
10 principals to be very -- or their representatives to
11 be very, very competent, experienced.
12 Q And what are you basing that on?
13 A I'm basing it on the work that I've seen,
14 both the -- both the representatives of this
15 transaction, Mr. Osterman and Mr. Harder, do. In
16 fact, I understand -- you know, I'm used to an
17 experience where Mr. Osterman, he did many
18 acquisitions that didn't involve us and he
19 universally receives high praise from his clients
20 that are acquiring systems, who are acquiring assets
21 that they worked out very well, and he did a great
22 job.
23 Q And what is your response to any
24 allegation that your relationship with EFG in this
25 transaction was somehow inappropriate?
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 196
1 A Once again, I find it offensive. I really
2 do. And let me stop putting emotion in. It's
3 incorrect.
4 Q And it's correct that you did not
5 recommend EFG to the district?
6 MR. ANDERSEN: Object to the form.
7 Q (BY MR. ALAO) Is it correct that you did
8 not recommend EFG to the district?
9 A That is correct.
10 MR. ANDERSEN: Objection, form.
11 Q (BY MR. ALAO) Would it be unusual for
12 someone in your role to recommend a consultant such
13 as EFG to do a valuation?
14 A It would not be -- it would not be -- it
15 would not be unusual for us to recommend a consultant
16 or frankly consultants because I believe we were also
17 the ones that gave the district the name of PRMG, for
18 instance, who's another great qualified firm. And I
19 think they would have done a fine job as well.
20 Q And does making a recommendation like that
21 in any way affect the independence of EFG's
22 valuation?
23 MR. ANDERSEN: Objection, form and calls
24 for a legal conclusion.
25 Q (BY MR. ALAO) You can answer the
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 197
1 question.
2 A No, I don't believe it does. I believe
3 EFG was paid -- I believe EFG was paid for completing
4 a report. I do not believe they were paid for --
5 based upon a purchase price or a result.
6 Q Just to confirm, have you worked with the
7 district previously and structured any transaction
8 involving issuance of bonds?
9 A Yeah. We've worked on many transactions
10 with district -- well, we've worked on every bond
11 issue that the district has issued.
12 Q And is it unusual for you to reach out to
13 a developer or district or to initiate discussing
14 putting together a transaction of this nature?
15 A No. It's -- that's commonplace.
16 Q Is that commonplace for just your firm or
17 commonplace in the industry?
18 A Commonplace in the industry.
19 Q And is it unusual in putting together a
20 transaction such as this one for you to communicate
21 with district staff?
22 A No. It's important that we do.
23 Q And is it unusual when putting a together
24 a transaction such as this one for you to communicate
25 with the governing body of the district in open
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 198
1 meetings?
2 A In open meetings, correct. Obviously we
3 defer to the district counsel on any issues relating
4 to sunshine issues.
5 Q And is it unusual in putting together a
6 transaction such as this one for you to communicate
7 with the district's counsel?
8 A No. In fact, I'd say it's required by us,
9 once again, because of our due diligence -- our due
10 diligence requirement promulgated by the FINRA and
11 the SEC.
12 Q Is there anything about this transaction
13 and your role in the transaction that is unusual from
14 similar transactions that you have previously worked
15 on?
16 MR. ANDERSEN: Objection to form.
17 A No.
18 Q (BY MR. ALAO) Did the district have
19 certain consultants who were responsible for
20 negotiating this deal with AVE?
21 A To be honest, I don't even know all the
22 members of the negotiating team but I had a team that
23 convinced -- that was consisted of EFG's consultants
24 and the district counsel and I think some involvement
25 to the district manager. I don't know. Since I say
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 199
1 I wasn't at those meetings or on that correspondence.
2 Q Were you involved in those negotiations?
3 A No, we were not. We were not invited and
4 we did not ask to be invited.
5 Q Were any members of your firm involved in
6 those negotiations?
7 A No. The response I just gave covers our
8 entire firm.
9 Q You testified earlier about apartment
10 complex transactions and facility purchases and
11 alluded to a cap rate for those transactions of 4 to
12 5 percent. Do you recall that?
13 A Yes, I do.
14 Q If you assume such a cap rate for this --
15 sorry. Did I interrupt you?
16 A No. Go ahead, please.
17 Q Okay. If you assume such a cap rate for
18 this transaction, what would be the value?
19 A If you take the revenues that are in the
20 revenue report and even if you round it down to just
21 5 million a year at a 5 percent cap rate, that's a
22 hundred million dollars value at a 5 percent cap
23 rate.
24 Q So that would increase the value?
25 A It would increase it greatly. A cap rate
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 200
1 is not a -- there's a big distinction between an
2 interest rate and a cap -- a bond rate and a cap
3 rate. They're totally different.
4 Q Can you briefly explain how they're
5 different.
6 A The interest rate that we discuss in these
7 different numbers runs that varied based upon market,
8 I believe the one used in the methodology that was
9 referred to was somewhere around 3.8 percent. That's
10 -- if we borrow money at 3.8 percent and pay it back
11 with principal over a fixed period of time with a
12 level annual payment for 30 years, that's what
13 generated by the bond rate of 3.8 percent, the
14 $80 million-ish number we were discussing before.
15 If you do a cap rate calculation you're
16 not -- you're assuming that the revenue flow goes in
17 perpetuity and you're also not assuming the repayment
18 of principal, therefore you just take the operating
19 income, in this case 5 million, and divide it by your
20 cap rate, 5 percent. And if my mental math is right
21 that's a hundred million dollars.
22 Q All right. And based on that math would
23 you say the districts are paying too much for the
24 improvements in this transaction?
25 MR. ANDERSEN: Object to the form of the
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 201
1 question.
2 A I would not. And I would just repeat what
3 I said before, which I think it's a very dangerous
4 assumption for anybody to say that there isn't
5 another party that would pay more. I just think it's
6 a dangerous and foolish assumption.
7 Q (BY MR. ALAO) And is it unusual in a
8 transaction such as this where there is a revenue
9 stream to value that revenue stream?
10 A It's been the method used in every
11 transaction as I referenced before, $2 billion of
12 such transactions, been used in every one.
13 MR. ALAO: Okay. I don't have any --
14 thank you. I don't have any further questions. Does
15 anyone else have questions?
16 MR. ANDERSEN: I have a little follow-up
17 to those.
18 THE WITNESS: Yeah.
19 MR. ANDERSEN: I don't think anyone else
20 is on the line? I think Ms. Avalon dropped off.
21 MR. ALAO: Is anyone else on the line
22 still?
23 MR. HOLDER: I'm here.
24 MR. KESSLER: I am too.
25 MR. ANDERSEN: Well, they're covered.

KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 202
1 EXAMINATION
2 BY MR. ANDERSEN:
3 Q Okay. So are you suggesting that --
4 you're not offering any expert witness testimony in
5 this case, are you?
6 A All I'm offering is the fact that I am
7 familiar with real estate transactions because we
8 deal with a lot of developers and, in fact, I'm in
9 the middle -- I'm a partner in a property that's
10 being sold as an apartment complex now. So I
11 understand how -- cap rates and commercial real
12 estate sales. That's all I'm saying.
13 Q So explain the cap rate calculations that
14 you just gave. Explain how a transaction works based
15 upon a cap rate calculation.
16 A A cap rate is where you just -- a cap rate
17 transaction in a valuation is just taking the free
18 cash flow off of an asset and dividing that by the
19 cap rate to come up with your value. It's very
20 simple.
21 Q It's one year's cash flow?
22 A No. It's assuming that cash flow is in
23 perpetuity, which in this case it's even better
24 because it's an increase in cash flow based upon the
25 deed restrictions and it's got a hundred percent
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 203
1 collection rate, so it's a very strong cash flow.
2 Q So you gave an example of selling an
3 apartment building based upon a cap rate cash flow,
4 right?
5 A Yes.
6 Q Okay. And the buyer in that transaction
7 is going to receive the income, that cash flow in
8 perpetuity; isn't that correct?
9 A That's correct.
10 Q So that's not true for this transaction,
11 is it, for the amenities transaction?
12 A I don't know what you're asking.
13 Q Well --
14 A Go ahead.
15 Q The club plan is being terminated. So the
16 CDD will not have any ability to collect revenue
17 under the club plan, will it?
18 A I apologize, I'm getting -- the -- I'm
19 saying that if I was a third party buyer, a private
20 buyer buying on a cap rate, I would take the cash
21 flow of that -- that's from the club plan and I'd
22 apply a cap rate to it.
23 Q Okay. So that methodology does not apply
24 to the CDD purchasing the amenities, does it?
25 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 204
1 A No, it doesn't apply.
2 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Because unlike a
3 third-party party, the CDD -- it would be illegal for
4 a CDD to try to collect the profits that a
5 third-party might or Avatar might try to collect
6 under the club plan; isn't that true?
7 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
8 MR. WAECHTER: Objection, calls for a
9 legal conclusion.
10 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Go ahead.
11 A I was going to say I can't go into legal
12 -- you're asking for a legal statement of what's
13 going to happen to the club plan that I can't answer.
14 All I'm telling you is supporting that it's a very
15 dangerous and risky assumption to think there's not a
16 third-party institution, private party institution
17 that wouldn't pay more money for -- the plaintiff in
18 this case is saying that it could be bought for a lot
19 less -- they could buy it for a lot less. And I
20 think that's a very dangerous assumption to assume
21 that there's not an institution out there that would
22 like to own this club and operate it.
23 Q But isn't it in your agreement where you
24 agree to treat this -- the district's fairly,
25 shouldn't you be in favor of the CDDs paying less for
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 205
1 the amenities if there is that possibility?
2 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
3 Q (BY MR. ALAO) Isn't that what you said
4 want?
5 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
6 A I would like them to get the best possible
7 deal they can get.
8 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) So you would like them
9 to pay as low a dollar amount as possible to receive
10 the amenities; is that right?
11 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
12 A If that's the board's objective that's
13 what I believe, yes.
14 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. But that wasn't
15 your objective in running any of these numbers, was
16 it?
17 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
18 A When we run numbers we're just asked by
19 people to run numbers and we're given assumptions.
20 Once again, we're not the expert on the price. We're
21 not the one negotiating it.
22 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Isn't it true that from
23 December 1st, 2015, through today every time that you
24 or your firm has run numbers related to this deal
25 your objective has been to maximize the purchase
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 206
1 price based upon 30 years of debt service payments
2 based upon the club membership fee?
3 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
4 A I wouldn't agree with that.
5 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) It's not -- it hasn't
6 been your objective to achieve a maximum purchase
7 price based upon the cash flow --
8 A No.
9 Q -- on the club plan?
10 A No.
11 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
12 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) No? That's not what
13 Rhonda Mossing's December 1 bonds -- bond sizing
14 says?
15 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
16 A Well, she's just saying what will that
17 revenue stream support. If she wanted to maximize
18 the amount of debt she would have used non-callable
19 bonds at a lower interest rates. There's other
20 tricks. There's other structures we would have used
21 to maximize it. We stayed with market conforming
22 bonds and we weren't -- that's not where we're going
23 to go. So we said in this current market a revenue
24 stream of X will support debt of Y. That's the
25 question we're asked.
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 207
1 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Okay. Now, are you
2 willing to stake your entire credibility on your
3 testimony that you did not recommend EFG or Fishkind
4 & Associates as the experts on this case?
5 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
6 A When people ask me about the resumes of
7 people like Fishkind and EFG -- and EFG and PRMG, I
8 give them an honest response. I've worked with all
9 of them and they do a great job.
10 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Isn't it true that you
11 recommended Fishkind and EFG because they would be
12 certain to use a cash flow approach and not value an
13 actual commercial appraisal on the property?
14 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
15 A Well, you're getting back to that issue
16 again which is I've seen their work before. They do
17 a cash flow where they make sure the government
18 obtains their objectives of not increasing rates or,
19 in fact, decreasing rates, and they've done a very
20 good job of that in the past and that's a cash flow
21 analysis.
22 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) And how many times have
23 you done a deal where the cash flow analysis is based
24 upon a club plan that's being terminated and there
25 will be no cash flow coming out of the club plan in
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 208
1 the future?
2 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
3 A I'm having trouble because you're going to
4 have to rephrase it because you keep on getting into
5 this hypothetical. It only gets terminated if it's
6 acquired, but if it doesn't -- but then you're trying
7 to say, well, is it worth more because it's not going
8 to be terminated. So it's kind of -- it's a tough
9 question to answer.
10 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) So -- but you would
11 agree that a valuation is based upon the club
12 membership fee under the club plan?
13 A I think that's one of the factors is what
14 does the revenues generate, but I think the other
15 factors are improvements, stabilizing rates, O&M. I
16 think there's a lot of factors that went into it.
17 Q Okay. What would the value of the
18 property be if there was no club plan?
19 MR. WAECHTER: Objection, calls for
20 speculation.
21 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
22 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Go ahead.
23 A That's speculation. You're asking me to
24 speculate what it would be worth.
25 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) How would you value --
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 209
1 A I'm not the valuation consultant.
2 Q Well, when you said Gary Shullaw and Tony
3 Iorio has proposed a purchase price of $70 million on
4 December 1st, '15, if there was no club plan how
5 would you value the property?
6 MR. ALAO: Object as to form.
7 A You know, I don't even know where I'd
8 start. I don't.
9 Q (BY MR. ANDERSEN) Do you know how Avatar
10 Properties determined what the club membership fee
11 would be for each resident or group of residences
12 within --
13 A I was not involved. I wasn't privy. I
14 didn't know them when they set those rates.
15 Q Do you know whether there's any basis to
16 setting those rates at different amounts for
17 different homes or for the increases of a dollar per
18 month per year?
19 A No information on that.
20 MR. ANDERSEN: That's all I have.
21 EXAMINATION
22 BY MR. ALAO:
23 Q I apologize, just two quick follow-up
24 questions to that.
25 Do you believe that AV would accept a
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 210
1 purchase price for these amenities based solely on a
2 bricks and mortar appraisal?
3 A I don't -- I think what they do is they go
4 test the market and see if somebody wanted to pay
5 more based upon the cash flows. And that's why I
6 think it's dangerous to assume that. I think it's a
7 very dangerous -- I think it's incredibly inaccurate.
8 Q And based on your experience in these
9 types of transactions, have you ever seen income
10 producing assets being purchased for just their
11 bricks and mortar value?
12 MR. ANDERSEN: Objection to the form.
13 A Never have I seen that.
14 MR. ALAO: All right. Thank you.
15 EXAMINATION
16 BY MR. WAECHTER:
17 Q I have a couple of questions, Kevin. Is
18 your business regulated by the Municipal Securities
19 Rulemaking Board?
20 A Yes.
21 Q Do they promulgate rules that govern the
22 conduct of municipal securities dealers?
23 A Yes, they do.
24 Q And do they differentiate between the role
25 of an underwriter and the role of a financial
AB Court Reporting & Video
KEVIN MULSHINE 6/28/2017 211
1 advisor?
2 A They do.
3 Q And do they require that if you're a
4 financial advisor you disclose that you have a
5 fiduciary duty?
6 A Yes, they do.
7 Q And do they require that if you're an
8 underwriter you disclose the fact that you do not
9 have a fiduciary duty because you're negotiating at
10 arm's length for your own account?
11 A Yes, they do. And that's why we put it in
12 every investment banking agreement we have.
13 Q And do those disclosures that are made in
14 those invest banking agreements, are they designed to
15 meet the requirements of the MSRB rules?
16 A Yes, they do. In fact, we comment on the
17 MSRB rules. We're involved in the rulemaking
18 process.
19 MR. WAECHTER: I don't have any other
20 questions.
21 MR. ANDERSEN: Mr. Mulshine, thank you
22 very much for your patience and for your testimony.
23 THE WITNESS: Thank you very much. Have a
24 great day.
