LIFE AFTERWARDS

With Dakota Capital, management's independence and control is maintained. It is not our desire or role to control the day to day activities of the Company. Our primary concern is for the Company to be attuned and meet the needs of the customers.

Our role with management serves as a facilitator to guide and counsel management to their optimal potential. Functionally, we facilitate an annual planning session in which a plan is developed by the management team and translated into specific goals and measures. Monthly management meetings are held to address concerns and issues that arise in the business. Planning, measuring, and open communication is the basis of our relationship with management and serves as a catalyst for growth.

We believe in growing our investments. Overwraps Packaging is a prime example of how we provided resources to grow the Company. Specifically, after closing a new eight color press was purchased for close to two million dollars. This investment provided the platform to grow into additional markets and capabilities that have driven a growth rate of over 50%.

Our patience and dedication to a firm's growth is critical to our success. Dakota Capital is unlike other private equity firms, we do not enter a transaction with a predetermined exit strategy. Our preference is to hold a company for at least 10 years.
