JL Squared Harmony Partners, LP February 2014 Fact Sheet

For the month of February 2014, JL Squared Harmony Partners, LP was down -2.0% net and down
-4.0% net year-to-date. These results have been prepared by our administrator and are
unaudited. Through March 14th the fund return estimate was up +2.7% net for the month, bringing
our estimated YTD return to -1.4%.
Obviously, I'm not happy with the results. I've spent the better part of several weeks doubling our
research efforts on the names in our portfolio. Some positions we have chosen to add to, while
others we found prudent to reduce. Since inception, our fund's correlation to S&P is roughly zero.
This month, for instance, we made money the day Russia invaded Crimea (the market was down a
bunch) and the day the market rebounded. The point is, our positions our very idiosyncratic, are not
often widely followed, and don't always correlate to market movements. Sometimes, that good,
sometimes that's bad. We much rather know exactly why our stocks change in price rather than just
having that happen due to general market direction. We continue to own significant downside
protection in the form of puts on the portfolio as a whole. While there is a cost to doing so, it has
typically been less that outright shorting the market.
The table below gives you some ideas as to the laggards in the portfolio. Blucora (BCOR) is the
main culprit for our under performance. We've attached a research report on why we still like the
position, explains our worst case valuation scenarios, and the issues the stock experienced in the
past two months. Also, we've attached our short thesis on iRobot (IRBT), a vacuum maker
company disguised as a robotics company. The company is facing large new competitors in the
market like Dyson, LG, and Samsung and we think this will likely drive down average selling prices,
unit volumes, and earnings. You can access these reports by clicking the links below.
