  3. Executive Summary The principal purpose of the Triton Capital Fund, L.P. is to grow investors’ capital using a variety of proprietary trading methodologies that are designed to deliver superior returns while simultaneously insulating the investor from an increasingly volatile and hostile investing environment. TheTriton Capital Fund, L.P. seeks to provide investors with strong performance without the danger inherent in “long-only” investment strategies such as a standard mutual fund “buy and hold” or “dollar cost averaging” which rely solely on purchasing stocks. The Triton Capital Fund, L.P. can be defined as a Global/Macro – Long/Short “hybrid” hedge fund that seeks to provide investors with a better alternative than traditional buy and hold investment strategies. The Triton Capital Fund, L.P.’s Investment Advisor, Triton Capital Investment Advisors, Inc. tends to employ an opportunistic strategy, nimble enough to navigate volatile markets, in order to make profits, regardless of the direction of the global markets. The success oftheTriton Capital, LLC pilot fund, which returned investors 125.02% over 29 months (vs. 23.4% for the Dow Industrials), prompted the creation of the Triton Capital Fund, L.P. in August of 2005. Bowen C. Farrell is the President and CEO of the Triton Capital Fund L.P.’s Investment Advisor. Mr. Farrell has been trading securities since 1978, and is a career investment banker schooled at the Harvard Business School. Mr. Farrell researched, developed, and made all decisions for the Triton Capital pilot fund.

  4. Executive Summary Objective The objective of the Triton Capital Fund, L.P is to seek capital appreciation for its investors by applying its understanding of micro-economic factors affecting individual securities amidst the global macro-economic environment. • Each security has valuation metrics, which include discounted and free cash flow analysis, GAAP earnings, price multiples (price/sales, price/earnings, price/book, price/EBITDA, etc.), volatility, and technical trading factors that may be considered and compared. • Global macroeconomic factors such as industrial and demographic trends, interest rates, currency rates, governmental monetary policy, and pricing anomalies may also be simultaneously considered to determine if they will benefit or detract from the value of an individual security. Investment Strategy The strategy of the Partnership is to optimize asset allocation, investing in securities (long positions) with improving prospects and risk adjusted returns, and divesting securities the Partnership holds (or taking short positions) with lesser expected returns or higher risks. The General Partner intends to employ a flexible investment approach to asset allocation that will allow rapid adjustments to changing market circumstances.

  5. Market Risks Facing Investors Today Recent Changes in Market Dynamics For many individuals and institutions, timing the market has been increasingly difficult, as the markets have become more volatile due to more rapid information flow, computerized buy and sell programs (program trading), portfolio insurance strategies, and trend trading. Increased Volatility Rising markets have been followed by quick downturns, often caused by factors that have little impact on a specific security. Investors now face new and extraordinary economic and geo-political risks such as terrorism, nuclear proliferation, massive trade and budget deficits, increasing leverage, asset bubbles, and more. These extraordinary factors can make investing even more dangerous, as globalization and information flow has caused even distant markets to often trade in the same direction, rendering few safe harbors for investors. Buy and Hold Strategies Disappoint Investors Investors who have chosen the buy and hold strategy used by most mutual funds have found themselves euphoric at times, and depressed shortly after, as the markets swing up and down more quickly than they have historically.

  6. Summary of Economic Risks Facing US Investors Today Market Decline in 2000 In the late 1990s, the technology-heavy NASDAQ 100 Index (QQQQ) increased substantially as global industries reconfigured themselves to take advantage of the internet. After March 2000, the index suffered a severe downturn as investors realized that these economic changes were not sustainable. Government Reaction The U.S. Congress passed tax cuts and the Federal reserve lowered the Fed Funds rate in response. These actions, in turn, flooded the markets with liquidity and fueled asset prices, and allowed for substantially increased household leverage.

  7. Traditional Domestic and International Economic Risks Risk Factors Given the economic situation facing US investors today, it is easy to see the need to be aware of a variety and inter-relationship of events that could, without an obvious warning, affect the securities markets. The illustration to the right depicts a brief, and by no means comprehensive, list of these types events and their likely subsequent effects. Economic and Budgetary Factors Compounding these typical macro-economic factors for the US investor is the global dependence upon increasingly high oil prices, the war in Iraq, the declining ability for our government to finance (defer) the costs of Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, and our ever growing budget and trade deficits.

  8. Additional Event Risks Facing Investors Today Geo-Political Risks Even though investors may understand the classic macro-economic risks facing investors today and apply that knowledge to investing strategies, geo-political risks such as terrorist attacks like 9/11 also can cause markets to collapse without notice. Risk of Unpredictability Terrorism has injected a new element into the investment landscape, which is impossible to dimension, impossible to predict, and impossible to prepare for using standard buy and hold investment strategies. All these factors have given US investors an equity market exposed to above-normal external risks, which render a buy and hold investment strategy obsolete.

  9. Triton Capital Fund’s Solution to Obsolete Buy and Hold Strategies The Triton Solution TheTriton Capital Fund, L.P. seeks high returns in the global securities marketplace without exposing investors to the full force of unpredictable event risks like a terrorist attack. • Investors in theTriton Capital Fund, L.P. would hold simultaneous long and short positions in different securities in an attempt to mitigate event risk exposure. • This investment strategy seeks to profit from the increasing spread between the value of securities owned, which the fund believes to be undervalued, and the slower growth or decline in securities sold short by the fund. Thus, the Triton Capital Fund, L.P. is considered to be a Global/Macro – Long/Short “hybrid” hedge fund, as our changing global landscape now appears to mandate.

  10. Long/Short Hedging Defined by Example – First Day Below is a theoretical example of the performance of a hedged investment given a devastating overall market decline of 50%, declines of both ABC Corp. and XYZ Corp. stocks, but with XYZ Corp. declining greater. In this example, the investor is “net neutral,” having taken a position where his long and short positions are equal on the first day. Assume a market index is trading at 100 on this day. Index Value - 100 Purchase 2000 Shares of ABC Corp. at $25/share − $50,000 (cash out) Sell Short 1000 Shares of XYZ Corp. at $50/share + $50,000 (cash in) Net Cash Used (1) $0 (1) An obligation to deliver shares of XYZ Corp. that were borrowed, then sold, is established at the time the short position is established. This obligation is then eliminated when the shares are later purchased and delivered to the lender.

  11. Long/Short Hedging Defined by Example – Subsequent Day(s) At a subsequent time, assume the market index declines by 50% (from an index value of 100 to 50) after a calamitous event. The investor then unwinds his short position (he needs to purchase XYZ Corp. stock to repay the XYZ Corp. stock borrowed and sold on the First Day), and sells his stock in ABC Corp. Even though ABC Corp. stock lost 20% of its value, the value of the short position in XYZ Corp. offset the loss, and even yielded a $20,000 gain for the combined trade. In this example, the investor profits even after a 50% decline in the market index. Index Value - 50 Sell 2000 Shares of ABC Corp. at $20/share + $40,000 (cash in) Purchase 1000 shares XYZ Corp. at $20/share − $20,000 (cash out) Net Gain (2) + $20,000 (profit) (2) This simple example was designed to illustrate how an investor can make money using a hedged strategy even in a severely declining market. In reality, the Triton Capital Fund, L.P.’s Global/Macro – Long/Short Hedge Fund will not be perfectly “net neutral,” but will seek to be “net long” in periods of stock price appreciation and “net short” in periods of stock price depreciation, while at the same time offering investors more protection from unforeseen economic or geo-political events than most un-hedged portfolios.

  12. Simple Examples of Hedging Strategies Primary Goal The primary goal in theTriton Capital Fund, L.P. is to capitalize on the relative price performance of securities chosen to buy vs. those chosen to sell short. The matching of securities for long and short positions can also take many different forms, some more closely hedged than others. Below are some simple examples of hedging strategies. Above are some examples used for illustrative purposes only, and do not necessarily reflect the current opinion of the Triton Capital Fund, L.P.management.

  13. Securities Used by the Triton Capital Fund Investment Strategy The Triton Capital Fund, L.P. does not limit itself to domestic equity investments as shown in the simple example of long/short hedging. In fact, the securities utilized in its investment strategy may also include certain non-equity asset classes such as: • Bonds Real Estate • Options Foreign Currencies • Commodities  Exchange Traded Funds • Mutual Funds This may be especially true in times when the equity markets appear to have diminished volatility or when these investments are more appropriate. Although theTriton Capital Fund, L.P. seeks to offer event risk protection by hedging, it is intended that the Fund will be net long in markets it considers undervalued, and net short in markets it considers overvalued, in an effort to enhance portfolio performance.

  17. Triton Capital, LLC Pilot Fund Performance Performance Comparison The chart at the right shows what would have happened to a theoretical investor with a $1 million dollar investment in either the Triton Capital, LLC pilot fund, the Dow Jones Industrial Average, or the S&P 500 Index. Note that the Triton Capital, LLC pilot fund easily beat both other indexes and turned a $1 million dollar investment into $2.25 million dollars in 29 months. Performance Qualification This investment return of the Triton Capital, LLC pilot fund, though outstanding, cannot be guaranteed in the future.

  18. Risk-Return Performance Analysis Risk-Adjusted Performance Measure The Sharpe Ratio quantifies the return of an investment portfolio in excess of a risk free rate (the 90-day Treasury-bill), relative to the risk taken in achieving those returns. The higher the Sharpe Ratio, the better performance relative to the risk taken. Standard Deviation as Proxy for Risk The risk an investor takes is commonly calculated by using the portfolio’s “standard deviation,” measured monthly and annualized (M/A). Sharpe Ratio Formula In simple form, the Sharpe Ratio is the quotient. M/A Portfolio Performance – M/A Risk Free Rate M/A Standard Deviation of Portfolio The Triton Capital pilot fund has a Sharpe Ratio of 1.45.
