About Usand grow through every stage of the business cycle– working capital management, materials sourcing,facility consolidation, manufacturing improvement,process efficiency, and product mix improvement.Following an initial period of focused productimprovement and profit improvement, our companiestypically extend their footprint through bothacquisition and organic sales growth.At <strong>Monomoy</strong>, we make money for our investorsby making the businesses we buy better. We sellour portfolio companies as healthy, profitable andsustainable businesses poised for continued success.The <strong>Monomoy</strong> Production SystemWe work with a lot of smart people in ourportfolio companies. The <strong>Monomoy</strong> ProductionSystem makes them smarter. At <strong>Monomoy</strong>, wehave adapted the lean manufacturing and qualityproduction principles known as the ToyotaProduction System to create a culture of continuousimprovement throughout our companies. Forlack of a better name, we call our approach the<strong>Monomoy</strong> Production System, “MPS” forshort. Our operations group works closely withmanagement using MPS to evaluate everybusiness process, determine where improvementscan be made, and implement a series of wastereduction projects in every company, every year.But what really sets us apart are the <strong>Monomoy</strong>“boot camps” that we run throughout theportfolio. Each quarter, we bring together 15 to 20managers from across the <strong>Monomoy</strong> portfolio fortwo weeks of intense training on lean manufacturingand the practical “shop floor” application of MPS.Participants work in teams of five and each bootcamp is held at a different <strong>Monomoy</strong> company. The<strong>Monomoy</strong> boot camps have now trained over 100team members in the <strong>Monomoy</strong> Production Systemand have produced off-the-chart improvements atall of our portfolio companies.The <strong>Monomoy</strong> StoryJust below the elbow of Cape Cod, the <strong>Monomoy</strong>Islands stretch 10 miles into the waters of NantucketSound and the Atlantic Ocean. Thousands of shipssank there in search of safe harbor in the 17th and18th centuries, and the treacherous currents off<strong>Monomoy</strong> forced Pilgrim settlers to enter Cape CodBay instead of continuing south to Virginia. In 1828,the federal government built the <strong>Monomoy</strong> PointLighthouse to guide commercial vessels to ports inConnecticut and New York or safely out to sea.In 2005, we built <strong>Monomoy</strong> <strong>Capital</strong> <strong>Partners</strong> tohelp both healthy and challenged businessesnavigate the currents of change. We giveour companies access to the resources andexpertise they need to succeed in the rough watersof commerce. We guide them to safe harbor whentimes are tough, we help them avoid obstacles whenthings aren’t going well, and we deliver them to safepassage in the course of our ownership.142 West 57th Street, 17th Floor New York, NY 10019 p 212. 699. 4000 f 212. 699. 4010 w www.mcpfunds.com

InvestmentsAnchor HockingEvery time you buy flowers for your mother, a<strong>Monomoy</strong> investor smiles. That’s because thearrangement is likely in a vase made by TheAnchor Hocking Company, a portfolio companysince 2007. Anchor is the largest maker of vases andcandle jars in the country and the largest supplierof glassware to mass market retailers includingWalmart and Target. Because Anchor sellsvalue-based products, it remains thriving andprofitable through the recession. Anchor’s strong,experienced workforce – including a terrific salesstaff – made the company an attractive investment.We acquired Anchor’s assets from the bankruptcyof Global Home Products and contributed ourexpertise to reduce manufacturing, purchasingand other costs. Anchor made no money when webought it. It makes a lot of money today.

We continue to build Awrey withthe goal of transforming a regional brand into anational presence. Today, Awrey is growing its salesand profit margins despite the recession.

Just one word.Plastics.” By that, we mean Fortis Plastics LLC, acustom plastic molder that provides compounding,molding and tool making solutions to customersin the appliance, furniture, building products, andmedical device industries. <strong>Monomoy</strong> created Fortisfrom a collection of neglected assets: a division ofa large public company, a bankrupt plastic molder,an underperforming Mexican competitor and astruggling resin compounder. All four businesseswere hit hard by the downturn in manufacturingin 2008 and 2009 and provided us with anopportunity to build a sizeable plastic molder thatwill benefit from higher volumes in an economicrebound.
