  5. INVESTMENT PROCESS The tactical approach is the same with all of our products. Our process focuses on identifying a few core holdings in each product. Once we have established those core holdings, then we will build a mixture of what we believe to be overlooked value, growth, and super growth companies. 4

  6. STOCK SELECTION • Our stock selection process is based on a long-term, bottoms-up investment strategy that is focused on fundamentally sound businesses that offer greater upside potential relative to downside risks. Although stock selection criteria will vary across our different fund strategies, the Hodges Mutual Funds are generally focusing on the individual stocks that exhibit the following characteristics: • Strong balance sheets and ability to access capital • Low cost production relative-to-peers • High barriers to entry • Ability to quickly leverage fixed costs once incremental demand returns • High levels of tangible hard assets value relative to their market cap • Exposure to new or emerging markets 5

  7. RESEARCH Our research efforts are focused on fact gathering as opposed to opinion pieces. Our research analysts are “generalists.” They cover and report on several different types of companies as opposed to focusing on one sector and 10-15 companies in that sector that may or may not be relevant at the present time. By doing this we avoid being stuck in sectors that may be stagnant for sometime. 6

  8. BUY/MONITOR • Well capitalized business models with high barriers to entry. • We typically invest in ideas based on an 18 month time horizon. • Our job is to anticipate changes in the company's cycles and/or story. • We are primarily interested in company cycles and secondarily in economic cycles. • We also pay close attention to pricing power. 7

  9. PRICING POWER • Pricing Power = Margin Improvement = + ROE = Multiple Expansion • Key Drivers of Pricing Power • - Capacity Utilization • - Barriers to Entry • - Threat of Substitute Products and Services • - Market Demand • - Competition/Mergers • Example: RAILROADS • - Under-invested for 20-30 years • - Low cost provider of transportation services • - Extremely high barriers to entry • - Only 4 major railroads in the U.S • - Demand: imports, coal, trucking partners, ethanol ROE: A measure of a corporation's profitability that reveals how much profit a company generates with the money shareholders have invested.   Multiple Expansion: Occurs when the multiple used to calculate values of the security increases. 8

  10. WHEN TO SELL • Overvalued on a relative basis. • Story changes and no longer fits original investment thesis. • Risk/reward scenario becomes unfavorable. 9
