Item 5 Fees and Compensation
Portfolio Management Services
Our fee for portfolio management services is based on a percentage of the assets in your account and
is set forth in the following annual fee schedule:

                                       Annual Fee Schedule
                Assets Under Management               Quarterly Fee Annual Fee
                Up to $100,000.00                       0.3125%       1.25%
                Next $100,000.01 to $250,000.00          0.275%       1.10%
                Next $250,000.01 to $1,000,000.00         0.25%       1.00%
                Next $1,000,000.01 to $150,000,000.00    0.225%       0.90%
                Over $150,000,000.00                         0           0

The fees are assessed a tiered percentage rate based on the value of the account. Accordingly, as an
example, if an account is valued at $250,000, the first $100,000 would be charged 1.25% annually,
while the balance of $150,000 would be assessed the lower fee of 1.10% per year.

The fee will be calculated and charged on a quarterly basis, in arrears, based upon the market value
of your assets on the last day of the previous quarter. If management begins after the start of a
quarter, fees will be prorated accordingly. We reserves the right to discount fees based on the needs
and circumstances of clients. We may also provide a financial plan at no additional cost at our sole
discretion. All of the above-referenced fees are negotiable. Lower fees for comparable services may
be available from other sources.

At our discretion, we may combine the account values of family members living in the same household
to determine the applicable advisory fee. For example, we may combine account values for you and
your minor children, joint accounts with your spouse, and other types of related accounts. Combining
account values may increase the asset total, which may result in your paying a reduced advisory fee
based on the available breakpoints in our fee schedule stated above.

We will deduct our fee directly from your account through the qualified custodian holding your funds
and securities. We will deduct our advisory fee only when the following requirements are met:

    • You provide our firm with written authorization permitting the fees to be paid directly from your
      account held by the qualified custodian;
    • We send you an invoice showing the amount of the fee, the value of the assets on which the
      fee is based, the time period covered by the fee, and the specific manner in which the fee was
      calculated; and
    • The qualified custodian agrees to send you a statement, at least quarterly, indicating all
      amounts disbursed from your account including the amount of the advisory fee paid directly to
      our firm.

We encourage you to reconcile our invoices with the statement(s) you receive from the qualified
custodian. If you find any inconsistent information between our invoice and the statement(s) you
receive from the qualified custodian call our main office number located on the cover page of this
brochure.

You may terminate the portfolio management agreement without penalty within five (5) business days
of entering into the agreement. After that, either party may terminate the agreement upon 30 days
written notice. You will incur a pro rata charge for services rendered prior to the termination of the
portfolio management agreement, which means you will incur advisory fees only in proportion to the
number of days in the quarter for which you are a client.

Financial Planning Services
We charge a fixed fee for a financial plan of $2,500.00. At the beginning of the engagement we collect
$500.00. The remainder is due upon delivery of the plan. The fee is negotiable depending upon the
complexity and scope of the plan, your financial situation, and your objectives. We do not require you to
pay fees six or more months in advance. Should the engagement last longer than six months between
acceptance of financial planning agreement and delivery of the financial plan, any prepaid unearned
fees will be promptly returned to you less a pro rata charge for bona fide financial planning services
rendered to date.

We will not require prepayment of a fee more than six months in advance and in excess of $1,200.

You may terminate your request for a financial plan without penalty within five (5) business days of
signing the Financial Planning Agreement. Clients terminating after five (5) business days will be
obligated to pay a pro-rata share of the fee for any financial planning services performed prior to such
termination. If the refund amount is less than any installment fee that has been paid, we will return a
pro-rata share to you.

Additional Fees and Expenses
As part of our investment advisory services to you, we may invest, or recommend that you invest, in
mutual funds and exchange traded funds. The fees that you pay to our firm for investment advisory
services are separate and distinct from the fees and expenses charged by mutual funds or exchange
traded funds (described in each fund's prospectus) to their shareholders. These fees will generally
include a management fee and other fund expenses. You will also incur transaction charges and/or
brokerage fees when purchasing or selling securities. These charges and fees are typically imposed by
the broker-dealer or custodian through whom your account transactions are executed. We do not
share in any portion of the brokerage fees/transaction charges imposed by the broker-dealer or
custodian. To fully understand the total cost you will incur, you should review all the fees charged by
mutual funds, exchange traded funds, our firm, and others. For information on our brokerage practices,
refer to the Brokerage Practices section of this brochure.

Item 7 Types of Clients
We generally provide investment advisory services to individuals (other than high net worth individuals)
and high net worth individuals.

The minimum account size for separately managed accounts is generally $100,000.00. We reserve the
right, in its sole discretion, to allow reduction or waiver of the minimum initial investment. There is no
minimum account size for financial planning services.
