our goal is to outperform the Russell 2000 Small Cap Index. This will be accomplished by maintaining a
strict buy and sell discipline criteria. Our decisions are based on attractive P/E relative to industry, current P/E

exceptional management, distinct and sustainable competitive advantage, and consistent growth. Through our
discipline criteria we will be able to discover opportunities, and transform them into strategic investments.
