Ennis Knupp + Associates 1.1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (This page left blank intentionally) Ennis Knupp + Associates 1.2 EXHIBIT ONE – SUMMARY OF INVESTMENTS Exhibit One contains an alphabetical list of the Bureau’s Private Equity partnerships. The rightmost column shows the Market Value of the Bureau’s holdings in each partnership on March 31, 2005. The general partner of each partnership was asked to submit a Valuation Certification, attesting to the value of the Bureau’s holdings in the partnership. The Valuation Certification is a written document designed by Ennis Knupp + Associates and approved by the Bureau, in which the partnership manager was asked to fill in the blanks in the sentence: We certify that the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (Bureau) is invested in [name of partnership] . The Bureau’s proportion of the partnership assets as of March 31, 2005 was [percentage] , and the market value of such assets as of that date was [dollar amount]. Managers of 62 of the Bureau’s 68 partnerships responded to the Bureau’s request with a properly formatted Value Certification. These values have been reproduced in the rightmost column of Exhibit One in black ink. Managers of 6 partnerships provided market values of the Bureau’s holdings in their own format. These numbers are shown in red ink in Exhibit One. Ennis Knupp + Associates has examined additional information submitted by the managers to determine the accuracy of the market values shown in the rightmost column of Exhibit One. This examination included the partnership’s recent financial statements, both audited and not audited, and listings of individual portfolio companies and their values submitted by the fund managers. In addition, Ennis Knupp + Associates conducted telephone interviews with 50 of the 54 general partnership firms in Exhibit One to clarify and to authenticate the partner’s valuation methodologies.1 On the basis of this examination, and of our conversations with the general partners, Ennis Knupp + Associates believes the values shown in Exhibit One fairly and accurately reflect the fair market value of the Bureau’s investment holdings in these partnerships on the date of the valuation. 1 See our introduction in Section Five for an explanation of the firms with whom no telephone interview was conducted.
