For the fiscal year ended 6/30/2008, the Group's portfolio declined 11.81% including
realized dividend gains of approximately $14,000 on the year. This compared to the
S&P 500 Index, which lost 14.86% during the same period. Consequently, the Group achieved outperformance of
304 basis points for the year.
Performance was driven largely by advancements in a number of individual positions with strong
company-specific theses that all performed above and beyond the Group's expectations.
The fiscal year marked another year of strong outperformance for the Group and it was an exhilarating period
with strong group participation and new, innovative investment ideas. More importantly,
the decision making process that went into the purchase of these securities benefited the entire group as every member
added valuable input into each equity purchase.
