    After carefully reading this Proxy Statement, indicate on the
    enclosed proxy card how you want your shares to be voted and
    sign and mail the proxy promptly in the enclosed envelope.
    Alternatively, you may vote by phone by using the control number
    identified on your proxy, or vote electronically over the
    Internet in accordance with the instructions on your proxy. The
    deadline for transmitting voting instructions electronically
    over the Internet or telephonically is 11:59&#160;p.m., Eastern
    Daylight Savings Time, on May&#160;20, 2009. The Internet and

    shareholders&#146; identities, to allow shareholders to give
    their voting instructions and to confirm that shareholders&#146;
    voting instructions have been properly recorded. If you vote by
    phone or over the Internet you do not need to return a proxy
    card. You should be aware that if you vote over the Internet or
    by phone, you may incur costs associated with electronic access,

    the shares represented by proxy in a manner to elect as many of

    On February&#160;26, 2009, the Board established a Nominating
    Committee. Since the Company previously had no Nominating
    Committee, for past years and in determining the nominees for
    this Annual Meeting all the directors participated in the
    consideration of director nominees, with nominees recommended
    for the Board&#146;s selection by a majority of independent
    directors. All directors, other than Mr.&#160;Dillon, are
    independent under the rules and independence standards of the
    SEC and NASDAQ. The Board used certain criteria to assess
    potential directors, including significant skill and experience
    in financial services, investments, accounting, marketing,
    operations, legal matters or in other areas that are important
    to the Company&#146;s success.

    The Board has not established a formal process for identifying
    and evaluating nominees due to its desire to approach the
    nominations process according to the composition of the Board at
    the time. However, the process for identifying and evaluating
    nominees is generally as follows: In the case of an incumbent
    director whose term of office is set to expire, the Board
    reviews the director&#146;s overall service to the Company
    during his or her term, including the number of meetings
    attended, level of participation and quality of performance. In
    the case of new director candidates, the Board determines
    whether the nominee is independent and whether the new director
    must be independent for us to remain in compliance with NASDAQ
    rules. Incumbent directors will be nominated for reelection or,
    if the Board feels a new director is necessary or desirable, it
    will use its network of contacts to compile a list of potential
    candidates. The Board then meets to discuss and consider each
    candidate&#146;s qualifications, and the independent directors
    choose the nominees by majority vote.

    The Board does not currently have any specific policies
    regarding the consideration of director candidates recommended
    by shareholders and will consider shareholder recommendations
    for directors using the process and criteria set forth above.
    Now that the Board has established a standing Nominating
    Committee, this Committee will direct the Company&#146;s
    director nomination process. It is expected that certain aspects
    of this process will change, although the Nominating Committee
    has not changed anything as of the date of this Proxy Statement.
    Further, the Nominating Committee may, in its discretion, adopt
    policies in the future regarding the consideration of director
    candidates recommended by shareholders. Shareholder
    recommendations for Board candidates must be directed in writing
    to the Company at 325 John H. McConnell Boulevard,
    Suite&#160;200, Columbus, Ohio 43215, Attention: Secretary, and

    director, with the exception of Mr.&#160;Baumgartner, received a
    grant of 428&#160;shares for service as a non-employee director,

    market price of the shares on that date. Mr.&#160;Baumgartner
    became a director on May&#160;21, 2008, and his grant represents
    a pro-rated amount of the annual retainer. These shares were
    granted under the 2005 Employee and Director Equity Incentive

    Given the Company&#146;s relatively small size, the relatively
    small number of record shareholders, and the Board&#146;s

    not necessary to implement, and the Company does not have, a
    formal process for shareholders to send communications to the
    Board. The Company&#146;s practice is to forward any
    communication addressed to the full Board to the Chairman, to a
    group of directors to a member of the group, or to an individual

    Company is heavily dependent on talented individuals, which are
    the Company&#146;s most important resource. Attracting and
    retaining people can be more difficult, given the high
    percentage of a firm&#146;s value-proposition which is
    attributable to key people.

    in an annual cash and equity incentive compensation program. The
    amount of individual incentive awards is based on an assessment
    of individual performance, while the amount of the overall
    available incentive pool is based on (i)&#160;overall firm

    In addition to their annual incentive compensation, certain
    individuals were awarded options, warrants, restricted stock or
    a combination as an incentive to employment. Generally these
    awards vest over five years to promote employee retention and
    long-term employee ownership. The Company also seeks to increase
    the ownership percentage of all employees because it feels that
    will encourage all employees to act and think like owners. While
    compensation amounts differ depending upon position,
    responsibilities, performance and competitive data, the Company
    seeks to reward all employees with similar compensation
    components based on these same objectives.

    Company&#146;s primary business objective is to meet its

    long-term, five-year investment returns, with goals defined as
    rolling five-year periods in which client returns are
    sufficiently above relevant passive benchmarks, rank in the top
    quartile of similar investment strategies and absolute returns
    are sufficient for the risk associated with the asset class. The
    Company&#146;s compensation program is designed to reward
    performance that supports these objectives. The Company&#146;s
    second objective is to fulfill its fiduciary duty to
    shareholders by growing the intrinsic value of the business at
    an appropriate rate over time. To support that objective, the
    CEO and CFO are rewarded primarily on achieving fair and
    competitive operating profit margins. For those employees who
    are not a part of the investment team objectives vary but are
    consistent with rewarding individual performance that helps the
    Company meet its fiduciary duty to clients.

    performance with a focus on investment results for the previous

    <B><I>Competitor Compensation Data.</I></B>&#160;&#160;The
    Company does not benchmark our compensation against a defined
    peer group of companies, but instead participates in a
    comprehensive compensation survey with approximately 150 other
    investment management firms. Based on this survey, the Company
    attempts to make individual compensation competitive within the
    industry to attract and retain talent, while rewarding
    individual performance. The cash versus equity component of the
    awards are based upon an intent to increase employee ownership
    over the long-term and are biased in favor of stock grants
    versus stock options. In 2008 and 2007, stock grants were
    approximately 60% and70%, respectively, of the total incentive
    awards with the remaining amounts made in cash. Currently 100%
    of incentive awards are paid and vested on a current basis
    although the equity awards are restricted from sale for a period
    of time to further encourage long-term ownership. The Company
    believes that incentive awards related to performance in a
    particular year, or five years ended in a particular year,
    should be paid currently. This approach offers a better matching
    of the economics with performance as opposed to granting awards
    that vest in the future thus burdening future earnings with
    awards for past performance.

    The Company has no formal policy to adjust prior incentive
    awards to reflect restatement or adjustment of financial
    results. The Company believes that due to the nature of our
    business material restatements or prior period adjustments to
    operating results are highly unlikely. Individual awards made
    under the plan are based on the factors discussed above and may
    increase or decrease materially from year to year consistent
    with similar changes in the relevant factors such as
    profitability and individual performance. The Company gives no
    weight to the economic impact of prior awards in making current
    awards. Awards each year stand on their own.

    On March&#160;25, 2008, the Company entered into participation
    agreements with Messrs.&#160;Dillon and Laird under the 2006
    Performance-Based Compensation Plan. The performance period for
    these awards was the 2008 fiscal year. These awards were granted
    in accordance with Section&#160;162(m) of the Internal Revenue
    Code so amounts paid are deductible by the Company as
    performance-based compensation. The performance conditions
    applicable to these awards are discussed in the
    &#147;Compensation Discussion and Analysis&#148; above. Although
    amounts awarded under the 2006 Performance-Based Compensation
    Plan are denominated in dollars, once such amounts are earned,
    they are paid, at the discretion of the Compensation Committee,
    in both cash and in shares of the Company.</TD>

    Because the amount of the award ultimately earned is based on
    the satisfaction of performance criteria, partial satisfaction
    could result in a payment as little as $1, ranging to the
    maximum depending on the extent to which the performance goals
    are met; provided, however, that the aggregate value of the cash
    and shares awarded may not exceed the maximum $2,600,000 and
    $650,000 for Mr.&#160;Dillon and Mr.&#160;Laird, respectively,
    in fiscal 2008). The maximum is the largest amount that could
    have been earned for fiscal 2008 upon the satisfaction of all of
    the performance goals specified in the participation agreement.
    Because the amount of the award varies based upon the extent of
    satisfaction of the performance goals, there is no specified
    target amount. Each of Mr.&#160;Dillon and Mr.&#160;Laird earned
    less than the maximum amount available to him under the annual
    incentive plan for 2008.</TD>

    implemented tax laws relating to deferred compensation, although

    well as health insurance, six weeks paid vacation annually and

    The agreement also restricts Mr.&#160;Dillon from competing with
    the Company during the term of the agreement and for one year
    following termination of his employment and provides that he

    would generally permit the Company to send a single annual
    report and a single proxy statement to any household at which
    two or more different shareholders reside if the Company
    believes such shareholders share the same address, unless the
    shareholder(s) have opted out of the householding process. Each
    shareholder would continue to receive a separate notice of any
    meeting of shareholders and proxy card. The householding
    procedure reduces the volume of duplicate information you
    receive and reduces expenses. The Company has instituted
    householding. If (i)&#160;you wish to receive separate annual
    reports or proxy statements, either this year or in the future,
    or (ii)&#160;members of your household receive multiple copies
    of the annual report and proxy statement and you wish to request
    householding, you may contact the Company&#146;s transfer agent,
    Continental Stock Transfer&#160;&#038; Trust&#160;Company at 17
    Battery Place, New York, New York 10004, or write to
    Mr.&#160;James Laird at 325 John H. McConnell Boulevard,
    Suite&#160;200, Columbus, Ohio 43215.

    In addition, many brokerage firms and other holders of record
    have instituted householding. If your family has one or more

    information from your broker, financial institution or other
