Memo. 2011-148. We issue this supplemental opinion to *This opinion supplements our previously filed Memorandum Opinion, Estate of Gallagher v. Commissioner, T. C. Memo. 2011-148. - 2 - correct an error in our computation of the value of 3,970 membership interests (units) in Paxton Media Group, LLC, a Kentucky limited liability company included in Louise Paxton Gallagher's gross estate. In the appendix to our original report, we calculated the value of the 3,970 units to be $32,601,640 by using a discounted cashflow analysis. We computed the total present value of expected cashflows for 5 years and added to that sum the present value of a reversion, which we assumed to be received at the end of the fifth year. In computing the present value of the reversion, we erred in using the present value factor "(1 + 0.1)'". To determine the present value of the reversion to be received at the end of the fifth year, the value of the exponent in the present value factor should have been 5, not 6. We have attached hereto a new appendix in which.we have revised our computation of the value of the 3,970 units, using the corrected present value factor and determining a value for the units of $35,761,760 (an increase of $3,160,120), which we find to be the value of the 3,970 units (the shares) as of the valuation date. Decision will be entered under Rule 155, Tax Court Rules of Practice and Procedure.
