SubJect Re:
ill come back to you, i appreciate the predicament. I have no quick response, can you
ascertain whether or not you guys took a gain of 250 , and then on top of that a fee of 250 .
after we agreed a fifty fifty deal, In essence marking up the deal to me, after we agreed to be
partners. ? i will talk to frank myself if you prefer. This is not a front burner item, it was
never ever negotiated, as none of my 5050 deals ever are. I always say who cares. beneffits
and burdens arc shared and they know the business, that is my template. It appears at least from
initail readings that your guys thought i was an arab friend and not a true one. have a good
weekend don't stress,

Thank you for passing it along. I really don't know where to take this. I love you too and cherish our
relationship. To the best of my knowledge a transaction was undertaken 5-6 years ago with full
disclosure of all of the facts on either side. Definitive documents were negotiated and executed, in
good faith, that reflected whatever the negotiated agreement was. Audits were conducted annually
and delivered to everyone. IGY is the partner, not me personally. As far as document access is
concerned, I will ensure that you get absolutely anything and everything you wish to have. But while
this might provide clarity as to what went where and why, I don't know that it will address your
feelings of inequity between you and the company, though I suspect that they will support the
technicalities of however things had been handled. But Jeffery, I had no hand in the negotiation or
documentation of the real estate deal and nor have I been at all involved in the day-to-day
operations of this asset since inception. My instructions to the people who executed way back then
was that you wanted to own 50% of AYH and they should negotiate a deal that worked for you. To
the best of my knowledge that's what was done, it's precisely what the documents reflect, and it was
all done in the bright light of day by IGY's representatives and your representatives. I believe that is
the truth.
IGY is owned by lots of different investors. The above notwithstanding it has been very rough sledding
since 2008 when Dubai defaulted on its various obligations and the economy deteriorated. The
company itself is barely solvent and we have been struggling to keep it together. A company called
IGY Directives, owned by Island Capital, is the managing member of IGY and it is a fiduciary to the
IGY investors. It too is in tough shape.
I have made some suggestions on how to go forward and I will make sure that you get whatever other
information you request. But I don't know what to do about what has happened in the past here,
especially given that (a) the deal between you and IGY was a real estate deal that appears to have
been honored and based on a fixed, negotiated price as between the parties, (b) IGY has very little to
give under any circumstance, and (c) there is so much history; this deal was done a long time ago and
has reported regularly.
As I have said in the past, what I hate most about this is that you somehow feel that you got duped. It's
just not the case. Perhaps mistakes were made by whomever you had negotiating for you and they
EFTA_R1_00457968
EFTA01973624
told you things that ended up being inaccurate. Again, I was not there, personally, on your end or
IGY's end.
If you have some ideas you know I want to make this right to the extent I can, and I will certainly listen
and try to do whatever I can. I would hate to see you resort to litigation as that would hurt everyone
both personally and otherwise. But at the end of the day, what I care about most is what has been
and continues to be a cherished friendship that appears to be getting tarred by actions taken by third
parties long past. I do not know what to do and I am saddened to think, given our history and the
love that has been demonstrated over the years, that you could think in the most remote of ways
that I have had any hand in anything that could be intentionally hurtful to you in any conceivable
way. I have not.
From this point it's up to you. You're going to have to tell me what you want me to do. If I can do it and
stay within the boundaries of what's required of me under the various documents governing the
transaction and the roles and responsibilities that IGY Directives has to its investors, I will do so. But I
know you know that I am between a rock and a hard place.
I have a lot of problems in the world with which I am presently struggling. This one makes me saddest
right now. But that doesn't help you. Perhaps I should just absent myself from the process as you
have and allow management of the company to deal with your representatives and see what they
can all decide to do. Or you and I can sit one last time, you can tell me what you'd like me to do, I can
try to do it and if you're still not satisfied you can sue us. But the next move is yours.

You and i enjoy a special relationship that i cherish, and we both appreciate full disclosure, for
good or bad, I rccicivd this today from my in house guy and thought i should pass it along.
Jeffrey,
I have been reviewing the AYH
investment as you asked. I have spoken
on numerous occasions to both Tom and
Frank. Tom has been very open and
attempts to be helpful. Frank, less so ,
EFTA_R1_00457969
EFTA01973625
and he keeps asking why do you want to
know? Unfortunately I am still missing
documents to give you firm and clear
answers. Frank, tells me they don't have
the answers as the auditors prepared the
audited financial statements. This seems
odd to say the least as AYH had to give
the auditors work-papers to prepare
financials. On January 23, 2007 a
finders fee in the amount of 253,125 was
paid to Island Capital. (frank said that was
Andrew entity?) Did you have any other
agreement with him that I am unaware
of? There is another 247,000 on IGY Ltd
and Subsidiaries audited financial
statements as a gain on sale of your 50%
interest? In 2007, 743,071 was paid as
interest expense to an affiliate. I believe
that this was a pass thru of interest
expense with no markup per a line of
credit IGY Ltd had with Banco Popular.
My understanding is that this was line of
credit costs for the period January 18,
EFTA_R1_00457970
EFTA01973626
2007 thru May 31 2007 when you were
not a partner. Yet the May 31, 2007
income statement shows that only
412,125 was paid thru May 31, 2007. Not
sure why you were responsible for
330,945 (743,071 less 412,125) of
interest expense from January - May 2007
when you did not receive any of the
income during that same period.
Unfortunately I have no further info on it.
To summarize, though all our records
indicate that you and Andrew agreed on a
50 / 50 deal, it is possible that he never
told that to his people. If it were a true 50
/ 50 deal then IGY would not have taken
out all their equity of approximately
5,000,000 and you only 250,000. There
also would have been no finders fee, gain
on sale of your interest and questionable
leasing commissions on tenants whose
credit worthiness was only approved by
the same people making the lease We
have never been in this position and I
EFTA_R1_00457971
EFTA01973627
know that Andrew is your trustee. In
answer to your question what is there to
be done going forward I would suggest
that they return your equity and lets call it
a day. The more I inquire about the fact
patterns surrounding your investment the
more unhappy it makes me.
Alternatively, maybe negotiating with
Banco Popular to write down its loan by
approximately 5-8 million may allow IGY
to recover and recapitalize.
