GENERAL NOTES ON ALL COMPOSITES

1. EMM is a U.S. registered investment management firm that invests primarily in emerging markets securities.

2. The base currency used to express performance is the U.S. dollar.

EMM currently offers new separately managed account clients either a tiered (1.25% per annum on the first U.S. $50 million, 0.90% on the next U.S. $100 million, 0.75% on the next U.S. $100 million, and negotiable thereafter) or performance-based (0.50% per annum, plus 20% of value added) advisory fee structure.

NOTES ON SOUTH ASIA COMPOSITE

(Figures are based on most recent estimates)

1. The South Asia composite is a specialized strategy that focuses on equity and equity related securities of companies in South Asian countries. This composite was created on September 1, 1996.
2. The composite is presented net of withholding taxes for applicable countries. For this composite, the MSCI EM Index - India is only reported gross of withholding taxes. The assumed withholding tax rate for the composite (asset weighted) is approximately 1% for a U.S. investor and 0% for the MSCI EM Index - India (due to gross reporting).
3. Composite results for the full historical period are time-weighted and include reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Results for the single investment fund included in the composite were calculated monthly and linked geometrically. Management fees are accrued monthly and included in the fund's net asset value calculation. Gross of fees returns for investment funds are obtained by adding back the fee for eachmonth. The composite is asset-weighted by beginning of month asset values. The composite returns are net of brokerage and other administration fees.
4. As of the date of this report approximately 2.6% of the composite was invested in countries outside the composites benchmark.
5. The benchmark of this composite was the IFC Global Index - India until June 30, 2002. Effective July 1, 2002, the benchmark was changed to the MSCI EM India Index. The benchmark change(s) were made in each instance because EMM believed that the new benchmark represented a more accurate reflection of the composite's investable universe versus the then-existing benchmark.
6. N/A - Information is not statistically meaningful due to an insufficient number of portfolios in the composite for the entire year.
7. Total Return information referenced above (both “gross” and “net” of investment management fees) are calculated after deducting applicable administrative and operating expenses, such as custodian fees and/or trading expenses.
