Item 4 Advisory Business

Callahan is the firms President and Chief Investment Officer, and currently owns 100% of the current voting common stock. If all current independent preferred stockholders (non-voting) were to convert their shares to common stock (voting), Mr. Callahan would have a voting stake of approximately 86.1%. CFPC offers financial advisory services that include financial planning and investment management for individuals and institutions. Financial planning services are comprehensive and unique to each client. Personal financial planning services may include, but are not limited to the following areas of planning: Retirement Planning: Including planning around individual retirement accounts, company retirement accounts, company stock options and Social Security. Wealth Management: This area of service includes investment management and research, risk management and hedging, tax planning and monitoring (but not annual preparation), estate and legacy planning, charitable giving and large expense planning.

Item 5 Fees and Compensation


CFPCs only forms of compensation come from one or both of the following:

Hourly Rate / Fixed Fee Percentage of Assets under Management

CFPC does not receive income from any form of commissions, sales charges, revenue sharing agreement or any other agreement with another financial institution. We are not compensated conditionally for the performance or outcome of a specific transaction, or by recommending a specific financial product or institution. Hourly Rate or Fixed Fee We prepare a comprehensive financial plan for both those with specific concerns they would like addressed today, and those who desire to create a precise plan for their long-term financial safety. A financial plan addresses several aspects of your financial safety, including general retirement planning and feasibility, potential risks, a proper budget, estate and investment planning and more. The hourly rate for our service is $210, with most initial consultations billed at a flat rate of $299. This may be waived for clients based on the complexity of their inquiry. If a client and their CFPC financial planner agree further work would be appropriate, the $299 is applied as a credit towards their financial plan cost. Completing a personal financial plan generally takes 7-15 hours and consists of two or more meetings with a Financial Planner, and the cost of these is generally included in this estimated range. Before beginning, each client receives a specific estimate with a guaranteed maximum cost based on the initial requested service. We will generally ask for a deposit of the lower amount of hours estimated to a client prior to beginning. The remainder of the fees will be due upon completion of work and presentation to the client. Fees that are charged in advance may be refunded based on the prorated amount of work completed at the point of termination. Clients may terminate their contracts with written notice without penalty at any time. Client fees are set in the signed client agreement, and may only be changed with a written acknowledgement provided in advance that details the applicable changes or by signing a new agreement. CFPC may also perform contract work on an as-needed basis for certain projects. This may be billed at an hourly rate or fixed fee different than what is shown above, and will be quoted in advance of performing the service.

Ongoing Management Ongoing planning and investment management is the portion of any financial plan that requires continued examination and adjustment. This service includes implementing investment recommendations, ongoing research, updates, guidance, trading and rebalancing necessary to manage your investment portfolio and financial plan on a continuous basis. It includes regular review meetings with a financial planner, full access to our entire team to answer your questions and periodic testing of your financial plans safety based on any changes that occur in your life. Our Applicable Range of Annual Rates 1.24% - 1.60% 1.10% - 1.45% 0.90% - 1.25% 0.80% - 1.00% 0.60% - 0.75% 0.50% - 0.65%

Amount Managed $0 - $100,000 $100,001 - $250,000 $250,001 - $1,000,000 $1,000,001 - $2,500,000 $2,500,001 - $10,000,000 $10,000,001 +

Our Standard Rates 1.45% 1.24% 1.00% 0.90% 0.75% 0.55%

Fee schedules are negotiable on a case-by-case basis in light of the complexity of Client's financial situation and the time required to manage the account(s). Client may group multiple accounts of immediate family members together for the potential benefit of a lower rate. CFPC may also offer negotiated fee discounts to employees or members of certain employers or organizations who internally market the advisory services of CFPC to their employees or members. Fees are billed monthly at a rate of 1/12 of Clients applicable annual rate in their investment advisory agreement. At Clients election, fees are either deducted automatically from the account(s) chosen by Client, or invoiced to Client for payment. Fees are paid monthly in arrears using the previous months ending balance. Clients may terminate their contracts in accordance with Section XII of their agreement. Upon termination, Client will be billed a pro-rated portion of any advisory fees earned, but not yet paid, prior to the Termination Date as provided in Section XII of their agreement. There is an aggregate minimum for new clients of $100,000.00, which may be waived by CFPC without charge, based on the needs of Client and the complexity of Client's financial situation. Occasionally, outside financial custodians and institutions may assess a commission that would be solely paid to them. We analyze these costs and only make recommendations that would be consistent with a prudent expected outcome for our client. We are conscious of the negative impact such costs can have on our clients wealth accumulation if they are not contemplated when conducting transactions. As we seek to reduce our clients cost of doing business with various financial institutions, we will often make specific recommendations as to where the funds are placed. This is done based on a variety of factors, and is further described in Item 11. As we do not receive any financial incentives for this placement, our recommendations are based solely on the benefits expected for our clients.

Item 8 Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss


Implementation of a Financial Plan and Investment Policy Every client begins with us through our financial planning process. We work with each of our clients to fully understand their current financial situation and what it is that theyre precisely looking to accomplish. Together, we determine a clients priorities, whats reasonable, and develop a plan that works towards identifying and implementing their financial goals. A clients financial plan is delivered in a 2 or 3 part process, with the two primary phases broken down as:

Part One: Current Situation and Client Goals


Goal outline Current income and expense summary / analysis Current asset and liability summary / analysis Investment portfolio summary / analysis, including research for portfolio of investment costs, style, region and sector exposure, along with interest rate and credit quality risk determinations Education cost summary / analysis (when applicable) Insurance coverage summary / analysis Retirement scenario analysis, including longevity, living expenses and cash flow expectations with pensions and Social Security

Part Two: Results of Our Analysis and Recommendations


Summary of our results Detail of client risk capacity and tolerance Broad investment allocation recommendations Requirements for retirement, including age, income, expenses and use of current assets Feasibility of accomplishing all client goals, including either a means for accomplishing them all, or a detail of what can and cannot be accomplished Proposed changes to cash flow Debt repayment schedule (when applicable) Primary risk exposure summary and recommendations

Part Three: Implementation (clients typically have most, but not necessarily all of those shown below)
Agreement and acceptance of risk levels and desired hedging Selection of underlying investment securities to be initially implemented Agreement as to the role and review schedule with each client and their financial planner Opening new accounts Transferring securities / funds between accounts Reallocation of investments Refinancing of debt Applying for new insurance policies Any other steps as recommended by the financial planner

Identify Expected Risk and Return

Develop Investment Targets within Financial Plan

Required Rate of Return

Tolerable Rate of Risk

Develop Portfolio

Asset Class Targets

Underlying Securities

1. Valuing the Financial Markets


We conduct ongoing research to determine our view of the financial markets various levels of intrinsic value relative to their market price today. Based on this relative valuation, we make broad decisions as to how much exposure we wish to have between equities, fixed income and alternative investments.

2. Identify Expected Risk and Return


Based on the research of our financial market valuations, we assign each underlying asset class an expected return value. We then measure the risk of each asset class by the long-term standard deviation for that respective benchmark.

3. Develop Investment Targets within Financial Plan


Utilizing the Efficient Frontier of Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), we begin conducting scenario analysis where we test the deployment of various asset classes together as one portfolio. This analysis is done alongside statistical Monte Carlo simulations of returns and distribution frequencies, and utilizes the supporting data of expected return (from our intrinsic value), risk (standard deviation) and historical correlation (by benchmark).

Page 13 of 23

4. Develop Portfolio
Once we have arrived at the target balance of risk and reward that is both acceptable in terms of timeline and necessity of return, we can then begin assigning the underlying securities that support the financial plans allocation. This is an ongoing proce ss that works in a continuous cycle of design and testing. We implement our clients investment strategies by conducting ongoing research for securities that most closely match our ass et class needs. As the most common deployment consists of mutual funds and ETFs, it must be tested on a scheduled basis for valuation, asset class drift, allocation adjustments and changes in the financial plans timeline. Valuing the financial markets, identifying risk and return and developing investment targets is all done as a part of the initial financial plan preparation. Portfolio recommendations and development are an ongoing event, not available as a one-time service, given the ongoing nature of the service provided.

Risks All investing involves risk. The following list is intended to provide several examples of common risks an investor should always be aware of:

Economic Risk An investment risk associated with the overall health of the economy. Inflation Risk The risk of loss of future purchasing power due to rising prices of goods and services. Interest Rate Risk The possibility that the value of your investment decreases due to an increase in interest rates. Credit Risk The possibility that a debt issuer may not be able to repay you for your investment principal or interest
owed to you.

Reinvestment Risk The risk that an investor faces when an investment matures and the new interest rates
available are less than they were previously. Currency Exchange Risk A form of risk that comes from the change in price of one countrys currency against another. Management Risk Also referred to as company risk, this is the risk of owning one or only a few investments in specific companies. The opposite of diversification, this risk comes from management missteps, fraud and competition whether real or perceived. Leverage Risk This risk comes from using debt, or margin, to fund investments. Because the debt typically has to be repaid regardless of the performance of your investment, leverage multiples your losses or gains to the extent you use it. Liquidity Risk The risk that your investment cannot be converted into cash when you would like. Market Risk The risk to a specific investment or portfolio that the value may decline due to general market conditions not specifically related to a particular company. These may include real or perceived adverse economic conditions now or in the future, changes in the outlook for earnings (profits), changes in interest rates or currency exchange rates.

Our investment process is designed with an awareness of the risks listed above and others. It is impossible to eliminate all of the risks of investing, and is best viewed as a balancing act that is different for each investor. There can be no assurance of success in investing, and attempts at addressing risk may also be unsuccessful. CFPC will work with clients during their initial financial planning process and regularly afterwards in follow-up to help clients understand the risks they may face and how the portfolio may be managed with these in mind.

Item 9 Disciplinary Information


Neither CFPC nor any of its employees have any disciplinary history to report.

Item 10 Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations


Neither CFPC nor any of its employees have other, external financial industry activities or affiliations to report.

Item 11 Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading
CFPC has a written Code of Ethics that covers the following areas: Prohibited Purchases and Sales Insider Trading Personal Securities Transactions Exempted Transactions Prohibited Activities Conflicts of Interest Gifts and Entertainment Confidentiality Service on a Board of Directors Compliance Procedures Compliance with Laws and Regulations Procedures and Reporting Certification of Compliance Reporting Violations Compliance Officer Duties Training and Education Recordkeeping Annual Review Sanctions

CFPC has a copy of the written Code of Ethics that is available to any client or prospective client upon request. CFPC has clients who also own Preferred Stock of CFPC with the option of conversion into voting Common Stock. As a registered investment advisor providing portfolio guidance and financial planning, our services to these clients may include guidance on this investment. When advising shareholders on their portfolios outside this investment, they will pay for any services rendered in the same manor non-shareholder clients do.

Page 16 of 23

From time to time, representatives of CFPC may buy or sell securities for themselves that they also recommend to clients. CFPC will always document any transactions that could be construed as conflicts of interest and will transact client business before their own when similar securities are being bought or sold. CFPC will do everything possible to mitigate these conflicts by disclosing to the client any possible conflict interest. CFPC will always act in a fiduciary manner and in the clients best interest.

Item 12 Brokerage Practices


CFPC considers the following factors when recommending broker-dealers for client transactions:

Client Expenses and Cost Minimization Broker Dealer Client Service Standards and Quality Overall Ability to Meet Clients Needs Transaction Execution Performance

CFPC determines the reasonableness of a custodians compensation by examining transaction costs, commission rates, potential penalties and overall costs of doing business. CFPC does not utilize research or other products or services, other than execution, from a broker-dealer or a third party in connection with client securities transactions. CFPC does not receive soft dollar benefits and any such benefits available would not be a factor in choosing a broker-dealer for clients. CFPC has specific compliance procedures to ensure there are no soft dollar arrangements made. Reviews of the firms soft dollar arrangement are to be conducted by the Chief Compliance Officer on an annual basis. Interi m reviews may be conducted in response to changes in the firms soft dollar arrangements or other updates as needed.

Item 13 Review of Accounts


Each client account is reviewed quarterly, semi-annually or annually (as determined by each clients Financial Plan) by an Investment Adviser employed by CFPC. William A. Callahan is the firms Chief Investment Officer and reviews clients accounts with regards to their investment policies and risk tolerance levels. Reviews may be triggered by material market, economic or political events, or by changes in clients financia l situations (such as retirement, termination of employment, physical move, or inheritance). In addition, each portfolio is reviewed at least annually to assess its conformity with the respective investment objectives of the client. CFPC is responsible for the completion of financial plans, asset allocation recommendations, implementation of those recommendations and any ongoing account monitoring and maintenance. Clients receive reports from CFPC on a quarterly basis, and will also receive statements from their independent custodian(s) on a monthly or quarterly basis. Clients should carefully review both. Clients are encouraged to compare their custodian statements with their CFPC reports so that they may promptly report any potential accounting inaccuracies.

Page 17 of 23

Item 14 Client Referrals and Other Compensation


CFPC does not receive compensation from any client referral. CFPC does compensate some industry service providers at a flat rate, and payment for services is not contingent upon whether or not someone referred to CFPC becomes a client. Services utilized by CFPC today include WiserAdvisor.com and Paladin Registry. Investors use these websites to learn about financial advisors, to learn how to avoid bad financial advice, how to select and search for quality advisors and to view documentation on advisors credentials, ethics, and business practices. The websites match the professional with investors who use its search and documentation services

Item 15 Custody
A custodian is the institution that holds for safekeeping a clients investments and/or deposits, while allowing withdrawals, transfers, purchases and sales to be facilitated. Custodial services are provided by a bank, brokerage, trust or insurance company that is independent of CFPC. CFPC does not maintain custody of client funds. Custodians are chosen based on a combination of their transaction fees, safety, customer service quality, best execution, and suitability to individual client needs. Clients may be eligible for various protection levels for their financial assets, including those offered by the FDIC or SIPC programs, or private insurance policies. Clients and prospective clients should discuss with their financial planner the insurance protection applicable, if any, for each of their investment accounts. When a client is looking for a low cost custodian, CFPC generally recommends TD Ameritrade Institutional or Scottrade, but may also work directly with certain other custodians as requested by the client that are able to work directly with CFPC. Clients of CFPC are occasionally limited in their choice of custodian. This typically, but is not limited to, cases where we are managing an investment portfolio within an employer sponsored plan account for an individual employee (our client). In cases such as this, CFPC was not involved in the selection of the custodian or the list of available securities in the plan. CFPC will, acting as a fiduciary only for their clients, make recommendations on investments within these restrictions. The recommendations in these cases are not likely the same as if a client were able to openly choose investments in a brokerage account.

Item 16 Investment Discretion


Investment discretion is the professional capacity in which CFPC, as a registered investment adviser for a client, would be granted the authority to make day-to-day decisions on a clients behalf regarding their investment accounts. CFPC may request discretionary authority from clients in order to select securities and execute transactions without the need for approval prior to each transaction. Risk tolerance levels are documented in a clients Financial Plan (or later updates agreed by the client). Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities. In these situations, CFPC will honor the clients request for restriction of ownership as long as CFPC believes it is a reasonable request and in the best interest of the client. Clients of CFPC may choose a discretionary or non-discretionary management relationship. CFPC obtains discretion by having a client sign, initial or acknowledge the limited power that is contained in the chosen custodians agreement(s) and the Investment Advisory Agreement with CFPC.

Item 17 Voting Client Securities


CFPC will not generally vote on client proxy events without specific notification of our intent to do so, or an additional agreement with the client is in place to do so. If voting, CFPC will identify any conflicts that exist between the interests of the advisor and its clients. This examination will include a review of the relationship of the advisor with the issuer of each security and any of the issuers affiliates to de termine if the user is a client of the advisor or has some other relationship with the Advisor or a client of the advisor. If a material conflict exists, CFPC will determine whether voting in accordance with the voting guidelines and indicators described above is in the best interests of the client. CFPC will also determine whether it is appropriate to disclose the conflict to the affected clients and will give the clients the opportunity to vote their proxies themselves. Clients may contact CFPC to obtain a copy of CFPCs proxy voting policies and procedures.

Item 18 Financial Information


Balance Sheet CFPC does not require nor solicit prepayment of more than $500 in fees per client for six months or more in advance and therefore does not have any additional financial disclosures to make. Financial Conditions Reasonably Likely to Impair Ability to Meet Contractual Commitments to Clients CFPC, nor its management, have any financial conditions that are likely to impair our ability to meet contractual commitments to clients. Bankruptcy Petitions in Previous Ten Years CFPC, nor its management, have been the subject of any bankruptcy petitions at any point in time.
