Accounting Notes: The tables on the following pages represent the past performance results, in capsule format, for a composite of all client accounts traded by the Advisor and/or its principal Sam Beckers. Specifically, the principal of the Advisor, Sam Beckers, previously operated as a sole proprietor Commodity Trading Advisor from March 14, 2012 and continues to do so Sept 2015. While Mr. Beckers was operating as a sole proprietorship he established and branded the name "Soaring Pelican Automated Systems" as a "doing business as" identity. This name would eventually be utilized when forming "Soaring Pelican, LLC" which is the current advisor presenting the strategy included within this document. For all intents and purposes the strategy offered in this document is identical to that which was offered by Mr. Beckers as a sole proprietorship CTA doing business as "Soaring Pelican Automated Systems."

Previous to Mr. Beckers being regulated, that is prior to March 14, 2012, Sam Beckers as an unregistered individual, traded customer accounts but was exempt from registration with NFA pursuant to section 4m(1) of the CEA. Section 4m(1) is utilized by traders who advise less than 15 customer accounts and do not publically hold themselves out as a commodity trading advisor. Accordingly, the composite information presented in the capsules on the following pages prior to Mr. Becker's being registered with the CFTC on March 14, 2012.
