FORENSIC OBSERVATIONS

--------------------

• LIQUIDATION CONNECTION: The original Jenssens Fish Supply went into liquidation

with PwC handling the process from 36 Munroe Street, Napier - close to the

Ahuriri business district where other Protocol 777 entities operate.

• CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING: The pattern of creating new companies (2010) while

the original company went into liquidation suggests potential asset protection.

• FAMILY CONTROL: The Jenssen family maintains control across multiple generations

and multiple corporate entities.

• GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION: All companies operate in the Napier/Ahuriri area.

• SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE: The 50/50 split in the current company suggests

partnership structure, possibly with another family member.

POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS TO PROTOCOL 777

------------------------------------

• NAPIER LOCATION: Jenssen operations are based in Napier/Ahuriri
• LIQUIDATION: Company went into liquidation - potential for asset stripping
• CORPORATE RESTRUCTURING: Pattern of creating new entities while old ones fail
• PROFESSIONAL SERVICES: PwC involvement in liquidation

NOTE: No direct connection found to:

• Langley Twigg Law
• Princess Alexandra Trust
• 36 Bridge Street entities

The Jenssen family appears to be a legitimate fishing business family,

though the corporate restructuring pattern warrants further investigation.

HISTORICAL CONTEXT

-----------------

From NZ Herald article: The Deep Sea II fishing vessel was "originally built in 1965"

for the Jenssen family, indicating the family has been in commercial fishing

in Napier for at least 60 years.
