Jaroscope Capital works with the management of the investee company to develop a comprehensive business plan that clearly identifies the company's strengths, weaknesses, competitive position, most profitable opportunities, operating strategy, and other relevant factors.

Jaroscope Capital believes that many companies, especially early stage technology companies, are vulnerable to lack of management depth, due to the complex nature of the businesses they undertake. A critical factor in the success of the company is therefore the specialist knowledge and expertise, which the investor brings.

Key elements of Jaroscope Capital's operating strategy:

• Develop a thorough business plan agreed by all stakeholders prior to closing the investment.
• Build superior management, often by supplementing the existing team.
• Management co-investment is permitted, but not required.
• Generous stock option plan with favourable terms for the management.
• At least one Jaroscope executive assigned to each investment to serve as a "coach", not a "player".
• Decisive implementation of the new business plan.
• Consistent contact with investee company management to effect operating initiatives.
• Consistently assist and support the management team through experience and network contacts.
• Assist with applications for grants and bank finance.
• Quickly and decisively provide additional capital for liquidity or growth.
