CHALKSTREAM RETURN METHODOLOGY
 

The hedge fund performance of Chalkstream Investment Fund, L.P. or Chalkstream Investment Fund (International), Ltd. (each, a “Fund”) is computed based on month-end statements and performance indications received from underlying portfolio managers and the performance of the Fund’s direct investments as computed based on the valuation policy outlined in the Fund’s offering documents. For the purposes of the relevant document, the Fund’s revenue share with hedge fund managers and special investments have been marked at fair value (“Fair Value”) based on internal models of Chalkstream. Under Accounting Standards Codification 820 (“ASC 820”), ASC 820 defines fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” Chalkstream G.P., L.L.C., the Fund’s general partner, is not allocated an incentive allocation based on special investment valuations. As has always been the case, the incentive allocation is only taken when a special investment is realized above the designated hurdle rate. The marks provided are for informational purposes only. Fair Value is determined by Chalkstream. Chalkstream utilizes four sources of information in order to determine, in its best estimation, the Fair Value of a special investment. The first source is information from special investment managers. Various special investment managers conduct a rigorous valuation process on a regular basis and provide this information to Chalkstream. Chalkstream is then able to use this valuation, adjust for fees and other items, and come to a Fair Value for the special investment. The second source is public and other information. Several special investments have publicly-traded components that make marking to Fair Value relatively easy, as the public price (less transaction and other costs) is the value of Chalkstream’s interest in the investment. The third source is an internal valuation for each special investment. In order to come to this figure, Chalkstream works closely with its managers to determine conservative cash flow and exit multiple assumptions and may utilize these figures in discounted cash flow analyses. The fourth source is an independent valuation agent that Chalkstream has engaged to provide an opinion on the valuation methodology used for specific internally-valued investments. Using a combination of these four sources, Chalkstream believes it is able to calculate an accurate Fair Value for its special investments. Due to the timing relating to the release of the performance estimates shown and Chalkstream’s internal modeling on performance, the return estimates disclosed herein, particularly relating to the special investments and total net return, will not necessarily agree to the final overall performance as issued by the Fund’s administrator or annual audited financial statements. Chalkstream has consulted with its auditors, Ernst & Young, to ensure proper procedures for Fair Value accounting are being followed.
