| 1. Basis of Presentation:
• Integre Advisors is a registered investment advisor. It provides investment management services.
• Integre Advisors has prepared this report in compliance with the Performance Presentation Standards of the Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR-PPS®), the U.S. and Canadian version of the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). AIMR has not been involved with the preparation or review of this report.A complete list of firm composites and performance results is available upon request.The objective of the diversified equity composite is to preserve and grow capital.
2. Selection Criteria and Valuation Procedures:
• This performance schedule includes all fee-paying, discretionary portfolios with a market value equal to or greater than $250,000 in equity through 12/31/05. For portfolios after 12/31/05, the market value for each portfolio is based on total portfolio.
• All accounts in the composite are fee paying accounts.There is no use of leverage or derivatives in the accounts.
• Eligible new portfolios are added to the Performance Schedule at the end of the first complete calendar month under management and must be in the composite for a full calendar quarter before inclusion. Portfolios are excluded as of the last full calendar month under management or at such prior date as Integre Advisors receives notice of termination.
• Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Dividend income is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Income is based on accrual accounting.
3. Calculation of Rates of Return:
• For each portfolio within the Composite, the total rate of return for the time period is equal to the change in the value of the portfolio, including realized and unrealized capital appreciation, reinvestment of dividend and income, depreciation, and income, as a percentage of the beginning market value of the portfolio adjusted for the net of all contributions and withdrawals (the “cash flows”). All cash flows are weighted from the actual date of contribution or withdrawal in the month they occurred in order to minimize the effect of cash flows on the investment performance of the portfolio. All returns are stated in U.S. Dollar terms.
• The investment advisory fees are treated as capital withdrawals. Advisory fees and other account expenses, such as custodial fees, will reduce actual returns. Prior results may vary substantially from future results.
• Monthly Composite total rates of return are computed as the sum of each portfolio’s monthly total rate of return within the Composite, weighted by their respective beginning market values adjusted for the effect of cash flows. The annual Composite total rate of return is time-weighted and derived by geometrically linking monthly Composite total rates of return.
• Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and the performance of individual accounts may vary substantially. The figures presented may include accounts with substantially different investment goals.
4. Composite Dispersion:
• Dispersion is shown before the deduction of investment advisory fees and is measured by calculating the asset weighted standard deviation for those portfolios that were in the Composite for the entire time period. The calculation measures the fluctuation of the rates of return of the individual accounts within the Composite in relation to the average return. As there was only 1 account for the complete year of 2004, there was no dispersion for 2004.
5. Benchmark:
• Returns are benchmarked as described below. The benchmark is used for comparative purposes only and generally reflects the risk or investment style of the investments reported on the schedule of investment performance.
• A benchmark, the S&P 500 Total Return, is provided in this report so that the representative account/Composite performance can be compared with the performance of a well-known and widely recognized index. The S&P 500 is a market-capitalization weighted index that includes the 500 most widely held companies chosen with respect to market size, liquidity, and industry. The volatility of the index is materially different from that of the representative account/composite. You cannot invest directly in an index. Index results assume the re-investment of all dividends and capital gains. In addition, the representative account/composite’s holdings will differ significantly from the securities that comprise the index. The benchmark information provided is obtained from sources deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed as to accuracy or completeness.
