DRAFT FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY EFTA01104906 Statistical Ratios Sharpe Ratio Calmar Ratio Sortino Ratio As a measure of risk-adjusted performance, the ratio is calculated by subtracting the risk-free rate from the rate of return for a portfolio and dividing the result by the standard deviation of the portfolio returns. This is a return/risk ratio used to determine return relative to drawdown (downside) risk in a hedge fund, which equals Compound Annualized Return divided by Absolute value of the maximum drawdown. Sortino Ratio is calculated by subtracting the risk free rate from the return of the portfolio and then dividing by the downside deviation. It differentiates upwards and downwards volatility and allows the calculation to provide a risk-adjusted measure of a security or fund's performance without penalizing it for upward price changes. Kurtosis A statistical measure used to describe the distribution of observed data around the mean. A high kurtosis portrays a chart with fat tails and a low, even distribution, whereas a low kurtosis portrays a chart with skinny tails and a distribution concentrated toward the mean. VaR Skewness A statistical technique used to measure and quantify the level of financial risk within a firm or investment portfolio over a specific time frame. For example, a financial firm may determine that it has a 5% one month value at risk of $100 million. This means that there is a 5% chance that the firm could lose more than $100 million in any given month. Therefore, a $100 million loss should be expected to occur once every 20 months. A statistical measure to describe asymmetry from the normal distribution in a set of statistical data. Skewness can come in the form of "negative skewness" or "positive skewness", depending on whether data points are skewed to the left (negative skew) or to the right (positive skew) of the data average. Source: Investopedia Falcon's View Fund. Ltd. DRAFT FOR INTERNAL USE ONLY EFTA01104907 Pro-Forma Returns Calculation The pro-forma' results are calculated by the retroactive application of a model constructed on the basis of the actual return data and backtested results (if actual data is not available) on the underlying strategies that are to be utilized by the Fund at its inception date and in the same mix as of that date. If an underlying strategy did not exist during the period in which the pro-forma' results were compiled, the existing strategies were rebalanced pro-rata. There is no assurance that the Fund would have achieved the pro-forma returns and the pro-forma returns are shown for illustrative and informational purposes only and should not be construed as an indicator of future performance of the Fund or any other fund managed by the investment manager. Pro-forma returns do not represent actual trading and may not reflect the impact that material economic and market factors might have had on any decision-making if the portfolio were actually being managed. The pro-forma returns also assume that the Fund would have been able to purchase the securities recommended by the model and that the markets were sufficiently liquid to permit this trading. The 'fund performance' returns are calculated net of the expenses/20 fee structure imposed by the investment manager. Actual returns are net of any other expenses an investor actually paid to the investment manager. The 'pro forma' returns are net of an assumed 200 bps/year in expenses and net of a hypothetical 20% incentive fee The fund performance returns assume that dividends and other income were reinvested. The investment manager has clients other than the Fund and results across clients may differ materially. The investment manager believes such differences are due to different investment objectives and strategies. The Fund's investment program involves substantial risk, including the complete loss of principal, and no assurance can be given that the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved. Past returns are no guarantee of future results. The information contained herein does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to purchase any security or investment product. Any such offer or solicitation may only be made to qualified investors by means of delivery of an approved confidential offering memorandum and only in those jurisdictions where permitted by law.

Accordingly, this document may not be reproduced in whole or in part, and may not be delivered to any person without the prior written consent of the author. The performance information appearing in the section of this presentation on pages from A3 to A6 are based upon pro-forma figures of Falcon's View Fund, Ltd. (the "Fund"). The pro-forma' performance is calculated by the retroactive application of a model constructed, with the benefit of hindsight, based upon a compilation of the actual returns and back-tested results (if actual returns are not available) of the underlying strategies of the Fund at its inception and in the same mix as of the launch date of the Fund, and net of the additional estimated expenses and 20% incentive fee structure imposed by the Fund. As such, those returns with respect to the Fund's portfolio are not actual results of any investment portfolio. The pro-forma returns assume that dividends and other income were reinvested and include the effect of certain transactions costs (if any), or expenses, if applicable, in an estimated amount of 200 bps/year. If an underlying fund did not exist during the period in which the pro-forma' results were compiled, the existing Funds were rebalanced pro-rata.

These results may not reflect the impact that material economic and market factors might have had on any decision- making if the portfolio were actually being managed.

The performance of any one underlying fund is not a valid indication of the compiled return of the Fund. The performance information of underlying strategies in which the Fund invests are shown net of the management fee and performance allocation charged by the portfolio traders of those strategies, but gross of the Fund's hypothetical expenses/20% fee structure. The Fund's investment program involves substantial risk, including the complete loss of principal, and no assurance can be given that the Fund's investment objectives will be achieved. Past returns are no guarantee of future results. Historical performance, whether pro-forma, backtested, or actual, is not a guarantee or an indicator of future results.
