Item 5 FEES AND COMPENSATION ADVISORY FEES FOR INDIVIDUALLY MANAGED CLIENT ACCOUNTS Menlo charges a blended fee based on a percentage of assets under management. Fees are payable quarterly, in advance. On the opening of an account, Menlo charges a fee based on the value of assets placed in an account, prorated for the remaining portion of the calendar quarter. At the end of each calendar quarter, the annual fee is calculated based on total assets at the end of the quarter, divided by four, and billed to the client for the upcoming quarter. Menlo may charge a fixed minimum annual fee of $10,000 to maintain an account. Menlo’s fee schedule is as follows: Value of the Assets Under Management Annual Fee as a % of Assets On the value up to $2,000,000 1.00%, plus On the value between $2,000,001 - $10,000,000 0.75%, plus On the value between $10,000,001 - $30,000,000 0.50% For account totals over $30,000,000 negotiable Under certain circumstances, Menlo’s fees are negotiable. Affiliated accounts are aggregated when calculating the fee schedule. Limited financial planning services are included in the foregoing fee. Menlo typically recommends including the margin feature when setting up the portfolio account with the custodian, even though the Firm does not employ margin in its investment strategy. To the extent that a client authorizes the use of margin, and margin is thereafter employed by our portfolio managers in the management of the client’s portfolio, the market value of the client’s account and corresponding fee payable by the client to Menlo may be increased. As a result, in addition to understanding and assuming the additional principal risks associated with the use of margin, clients authorizing margin are advised of the potential conflict of interest whereby the client’s decision to employ margin may correspondingly increase the management fee payable to the Firm. Accordingly, the decision as to whether to employ margin is left to the sole discretion of client. ADVISORY FEES FOR SKYLINE PARTNERS, LP All fees paid by investors in the Fund are more fully described in the private placement memorandum and subscription agreement, provided to Fund investors at the time of the investment. As its investment manager, Menlo Advisors charges an investment management fee to each limited partner equal either to one and three quarters percent (1.75%) of the limited partner’s Fund account assets or one percent (1%) plus, if the limited partner’s net capital appreciation exceeds a “hurdle rate” of three percent (3%) for the year, an additional fee called a performance allocation of ten percent (10%) of the entire net capital appreciation of that limited partner’s Fund account assets, subject to offset by any prior period’s net capital depreciation (the “high water mark” if any, established for the investor’s Fund account). Such fees are calculated and paid quarterly in advance based on the net asset value of the assets as of the end of the preceding quarter. Menlo Advisors in its sole discretion, may waive or reduce the management fee with respect to any Fund investor for any period of time, or agree to apply a different fee for that investor. The quarterly Management Fee charged on capital contributed on a day other than the first day of the quarter will be adjusted pro rata for the number of days remaining in the quarter. No portion of a Management Fee paid or payable for a quarter will be refundable if all or a portion of the Limited Partner's Capital Account is voluntarily withdrawn during the quarter, but a pro rata portion of such Management Fee will be refunded if an involuntary withdrawal occurs during the quarter. The Fund generally pays directly or reimburses Menlo Advisors for certain operating expenses. The Firm’s individually managed account clients that are also investors in the Fund are not billed separately for investment management fees by the Firm for the portion of their assets represented by their investment in the Fund, but rather pay only the Fund management fees on those assets. However, as disclosed below under Third Party Fund Disclosures, the Fund will pay fees to third party fund managers for investment management and administrative services to the extent that Fund assets are invested in such third-party investment vehicles, and investors in the Fund will therefore indirectly bear such third party fees and expenses in addition to the Fund management fees. FINANCIAL CONSULTING FEES Upon client request, Menlo may provide financial consulting services for either a fixed fee or for an hourly rate of $300 per hour. Such fees would be billed monthly as services are rendered. GENERAL FEE DISCLOSURES The client’s fee is determined in accordance with the above fee structure, with exceptions negotiated on a case-by-case basis at Menlo’s discretion. Any deviations from the fee structure are based upon a number of factors including the amount of work involved, the amount of assets placed under management and the attention needed to manage the account. We believe our investment management fees are competitive with the fees charged by other investment advisors in the San Francisco Bay area for comparable services. However, comparable services may be available from other sources for lower fees than those charged by Menlo. Menlo receives no commissions on investment products purchased or sold for client accounts. We do not provide clients advice as to the tax deductibility of our advisory fees. Clients are directed to consult a tax professional to determine the potential tax deductibility of the payment of advisory fees. CUSTODIAN AND BROKERAGE FEES Clients incur certain charges imposed by their custodians and other third parties such as custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer taxes, wire transfer and ... |

Item 7 TYPES OF CLIENTS Our clients include individuals and high net worth individuals and their trusts and estates and the Fund. As a result of our minimum annual management fee requirement, Menlo Advisors’ services may not be appropriate for everyone. Particularly for smaller accounts, other investment advisors may provide somewhat similar services for lower compensation, although still others may charge more for similar services. |
