A description of FCMA's services and fees follows:
Retirement Plan Investment Management and Advisory Services
FCMA's Retirement Plan Investment Management and Advisory Services include selection and monitoring
the performance of a grouping of mutual funds intended to meet compliance and fiduciary standards.
Services also include selection of no-load mutual funds, monitoring of fund performance, and replacement
of funds when necessary, quarterly reporting to Trustees and plan participants of fund performance and
comparison of performance to industry benchmarks, educational workshops, meetings for plan participants,
website information, and quarterly newsletters outlining the selection of funds and performance available
for plan participants. Services are tailored to meet the individual needs of each client.
Investment Consulting Services
FCMA also provides a variety of ancillary services relating to investment consulting. The services include
retirement investment educational services to retirement plan participants, fiduciary process audits,
manager of managers investment analysis, comprehensive and targeted financial planning and speaking
engagement services. FCMA is also open to provide other services it believes it has the capacity to provide.
The financial planning process involves establishing the scope of work, gathering information, analyzing
the data, developing a strategy, implementation and monitoring results.
Discretionary Investment Management Services
FCMA also provides discretionary investment management services to individuals, families, and
companies having the objective of investing assets in one or more mutual funds or individual securities
which, in FCMA's judgment, are consistent with the objectives of the Clients and with the risk tolerances
identified by the Clients.
Services begin with FCMA analyzing the investments in a Client's current portfolio, including portfolios
held in retirement accounts, and obtaining information from the Client pertaining to the Client's financial
situation and needs. After this analysis, FCMA then makes investment and third-party manager selections
for the Client's portfolio by purchasing mutual funds or other securities which FCMA believes will meet
the Client's investment objectives, or by hiring an independent investment manager to provide continuous
management services. Each Client grants FCMA authority in writing to purchase and sell securities and to
hire and fire managers in advance of services beginning. FCMA then periodically reviews the Client's
mutual funds and other securities, and selected investment manager performance, as frequently as Client
and FCMA mutually agree, or in the absence of Client's instruction, by FCMA alone. A written report

identifying the investments in a Client's account, each investment's current value and the performance of
the account is provided by FCMA to each Client at least quarterly.
Accounts receiving FCMA's Investment Management Services are usually maintained by Charles Schwab
& Co., Inc., or Matrix Trust Company unless a Client has an existing relationship with another brokerage
firm or bank. However, FCMA usually requires all accounts it advises with discretionary authority to be
custodied at Schwab, Matrix Trust, or another custodian designated by FCMA. Accounts managed by other
selected investment managers are usually custodied at the Client's brokerage firm or FCMA's recommended
custodian.
FCMA supplies each manager it hires for a Client with information regarding investment objectives of the
Client. The other selected investment manager exercises discretionary authority to buy and sell investments
in accordance with the objectives of the Client. FCMA also provides periodic assistance in evaluating
manager performance and, if necessary, recommendations to replace the other selected investment manager.
To the extent FCMA becomes aware of changes in a Client's objectives, this information is relayed to the
other selected investment managers. Clients may communicate such changes to the other selected
investment managers at any time.
FCMA generally does not recommend the replacement of a manager based on short-term performance
results. In the event there is significant change in the manager's investment philosophy, loss of significant
investment management personnel or a change in ownership, FCMA will re-evaluate the manager to
determine whether the manager has changed from how the manager represented itself initially.
As indicated above, each Client grants the manager discretionary trading authority so the manager can place
transaction orders at will for a Client's account. Each Client has the opportunity to instruct the manager
with respect to investment restrictions the Client wishes to impose on the management of the Client's
account. There is no restriction on a Client contacting the manager directly for any purpose. Each Client
account with a manager is managed individually and is separate from the accounts of other Clients of the
manager. Each Client receives a confirmation of each securities transaction placed by the manager for the
Client's account, periodic custodian account statements, as well as summary of account performance.
It is important to note that even though certain managers may have had better account management return
results than other managers, they may not be presented to a Client by FCMA due to the influence of other
factors, including the nature of portfolio manager's investment style and time under which securities were
managed to produce returns.
