| NOTE:
All Working Capital Model (WCM) results are net of all brokerage fees,
commissions, and charges (i.e. all commissions |
|
|
| and
fees have been deducted). Nearly all figures are also net of Investment
Management fees, which are |
|
|
|
| deducted
from accounts quarterly, in arrears, for all but a handful of accounts. The
maximum fee for any of these accountss |
|
|
| would
be 1.1% per year. It is (in my opinion) unlikely that their results, if
adjusted, would have a significant impact |
|
|
| on
the WCM numbers. The footnotes below include important disclosures that you
should be aware of. I am |
|
|
|
| certain
that there are methodologies and indices (not reported here) that did better
(and worse) than the reported |
|
|
| numbers. |

| The
"WCM" figures summarize spreadsheet analysis of nearly 300
portfolios for calendar year 2008. If you |
|
|
|
| would
like to see the entire spreadsheet (without the names and account numbers, of
course, I can provide them to |
|
|
| you,
as well as the Income CEF spreadsheets. Many accounts are not managed
precisely in line with WCM strategies due |
|
|
| to
account owner request and specification. It is my opinion that, in most
instances, variations from the basic model are not helpful. |

Footnotes and Disclosures: |
|
|
|
|
| Steve
Selengut, owner of Sanco Services, Inc. prepared this summary from unaudired
figures compiled by others. Sanco is the user referred to herein. |
|
| Market
Value numbers are rarely used for calendar year performance evaluation using
the WCM. |
|
| (1)
Information provided by LMK Wealth Management from Quarterly Performance
Reports prepared by |
|
|
|
| Mid
Atlantic Capital. Adds/Subs column figures are also from the MACC Reports.
Note that Mid Atlantic |
|
|
|
| Capital
was the sole Broker Dealer used in the compilation of the WCM numbers and
that LMK Wealth Management was the sole |
|
|
| independent
broker used for account transactions. The reasons for this |
|
|
|
| relationship
with LMK are outlined in the WCM user's ADV II, Schedule F. This disclosure
document |
|
|
|
| is
available to you upon request. |
|
|
|
|
|
| (2)
Figures presented are for all WCM accounts active as of December 31, 2008. |
|
|
|
| The
results are not "Time Weighted" |
|
|
|
|
|
| or
adjusted in any manner to estimate the timing impact of additions to or
withdrawals from any portfolio. |
|
|
| (3)
WCM accounts normally contain both equity and income securities. Most income
securities are |
|
|
|
| in
the form of managed Closed End Funds. Spreadsheets are available that show
the Market Value |
|
|
|
| performance
of all the CEFs during the reporting period. The "WCM ICEF" number
reflects the |
|
|
|
| combined
performance of taxable and tax free income CEFs. |
|
|
|
|
| (4)
The separate "Spreadsheet Disclaimer" applies to the information in
this spreadsheet. |
|
|
|
| (5)
I understand that a separate Disclosure & Glossary of terms is available
for the MACC Performance Reports but the reports |
|
|
| themselves are confidential, and not
provided. |
|
|
|
|
| (6)
The information contained in this spreadsheet is for information only and
there is no intended implication that |
|
|
| other
funds or methods didn't have better performance during the time period. |
|
|
|
| (7)
Figures for the DJIA and S & P were taken from public sources; figures
for the three mutual funds reported |
|
|
| are
taken from Streetscape historical data. |
|
|
|
|
| (8)
The funds selected were picked because they are the last three year's winners
of the Morningstar "Fund |
|
|
| Manager of the Year" designation. |

designation. The LMVTX fund is included because fund manager Bill Miller
received the manager of the |
|
|
|
| of
the year award in 2006 for his outstanding value fund performance. |

Capital Rule Disclosures: |
|
|
|
|
| (1)
Economic and market conditions were among the worst in modern history during
2008. These conditions |
|
|
| may
have seriously impacted the performance of all market measures and
participants presented here. |
|
|
|
| (2)
All WCM results are net of all brokerage fees, commissions, and charges (i.e.
all commissions |
|
|
|
| and
fees have been deducted). Nearly all figures are also net of Investment
Management fees, which are |
|
|
|
| deducted
from accounts quarterly, in arrears, for all but a handful of clients.
Figures with respect to six |
|
|
|
| clients
who pay fees directly are not separated in this Summary. The maximum fee per
year for any of these clients |
|
|
| would
be 1.1% per year. |
|
|
|
|
|
| (3)
All dividends, interest, capital gains, and capital losses are included in
the WCM figures.The |
|
|
|
| methodology
requires that only income paying securities are included in portfolios, and
the method- |
|
|
|
| ology
also emphasizes targeted profit taking. In 2008, market conditions would have
caused |
|
|
|
| lower
than normal profits, taken whenever they were available. Major losses taken
on bankrupted entities (Lehman, |
|
|
| Wash
Mutual, Indymac) and to fund disbursements are also included. The income
requirement |
|
|
|
| and
profit-taking discipline absolutely enhanced the WCM performance numbers---in
my opinion. |
|
|
|
| (4)
As with all investment styles, the WCM methodology can produce both profits
and losses, dependent |
|
|
|
| on
market conditions and other factors that may or may not exist during any
reporting period. |
|
|
|
| (5)
The WCM results are "live" presentations of all accounts under one
manager using the WCM methodology at both dates included |
|
| in
the spreadsheet. The portfolios are mostly "mixed" or
"balanced" portfolios with varying percentages |
|
|
|
| of
income Closed End Funds. Numbers for all closed end funds owned by WCM
accounts included here are available, and |
|
|
| those
for the Income CEFs are summarized in the Summary Table above, highlighted in
BOLD GREEN. |
|
|
|
| Mathematically,
I believe that excluding these figures would have improved the Sanco figures,
making |
|
|
|
| them
less negative. The indices included in the Summary Table, to my knowledge,
include no CEFs at all. |
|
|
|
| (6)
The Working Capital Model investment management methodology was created |
|
|
|
| and
developed by the principal of Sanco Services, Steve Selengut, and has evolved
to its present state over the past |
|
|
| thirty
+ years. I do not believe that a similar approach was used by any of the
enties or indices whose numbers |
|
|
| are
included in the Summary Table. This investment methodology has remained the
same in principle |
|
|
|
| and
in practice for many years. |
|
|
|
|
|
| (7)
The purpose of the information in the Summary is to encourage investor's to
learn all they can about WCM investing by |
