EMAIL DETAILS

Not sure of Hunter's availability tomorrow for this call but other than a
call at 10, 11:30 and 2:30 EDT tomorrow I am free. Each of those calls
should take no more than 30 minutes.

Are there any times in there that work for everyone else?

I can answer pretty much all of the questions in the email.

Hunter-


See below for analysis of Burisma payments through RSB for 2015.


For the first 10 months of 2015, total pre-tax Burisma payments through RSB
= $606,666


RSB Agreed to Hold Back $245,498 of the above amount to cover taxes
(approx. 38%) which left you with $361,168 in “post-tax” dollars to draw
down.


For the first 10 months of 2015, you drew down approximately $413,000 from
RSB. Therefore you drew down $51,835 more than you should have.


If RSB counts the first 10 months of Burisma payments as income to you,
they should send you the $245,498 - $51,835 or $193,663 which could be put
towards your tax liabilities for 2015.


So, on $606,666 in income you’ll have $193,663 to go towards taxes.


Note that for November and December of 2015, the full $83,333 for each
month was sent to Owasco, PC via RSB and you withheld the appropriate taxes
yourself. It is only the first 10 months of 2015 that need to be taken
care of.


The only other point to keep in mind is that while Burisma paid you $83,333
a month for the first 10 months of 2015, for the first 8 months, a portion
of that ($27,778 a month) went to Alex as his Board Finders Fee. RSB has
taken that amount as an expense and we need to figure out a way to capture
that expense so that you are only paying taxes on $55,555 a month in income
through the end of August 2015 instead of the full $83,333. I am going to
assume the accountants can take care of that.


Let me know if you have questions.


Best,


Eric
