Dear =nStream Series A Preferred and Convertible Note investors,
The last 4 months have been both very busy and productive for =nStream. In summary, the company is now well
positioned to realize significant =growth on all levels in 2015. The highlights are as follows:
Sales
On October 20th, Buckingham Asset Management/BAM Advisor Services, one =of the country's largest independent
wealth management =nterprises announced that it had selected the inStream planning-centric wealth management
software platform to serve the more than 370 advisors representing the more than 140 client firms in its network. This
=announcement was the culmination of a nine month, 50+ meeting/call enterprise sales effort involving the entire
inStream team and is a true "game changer" due to both Buckingham/BAM's =ize and its stature as one of the leaders in
innovation in the wealth management arena. This =strategic partnership was announced at the BAM Alliance 2014
Annual Conference by BAM Managing Director Al Sears who devoted nearly 2 minutes of his 45 minute "5 Year Strategic
Vision" =resentation to inStream. The press release is attached and video of Al Sears'=20 announcement is accessible at
the following link: http://vimeo.com/110146066.
With Mercer Global Advisors and Buckingham/BAM, inStream, in its first =year of commercial operation, has signed two
of the largest, highest profile, most desirable and most rigorous clients in the independent advisory arena. This
conclusively validates both the value of =nStream to advisors and provides comfort and visibility to wealth management
firms small and large as they contemplate their next technology decisions.
Usage
inStream is now home to more than $6 billion of asset under management =and more than 6,000 financial plans. These
figures would position =inStream as one of the top ten largest independent financial advisors if it were an independent

advisory firm. They also provide a very tangible indicator of inStream's opportunity to rapidly build =arket share and act
as an industry consolidator and consolidated point of entry for vendors seeking access to the fragmented independent
advisory =arena. Please bear in mind that these figures are prior to any =mpact from Buckingham/BAM. A very positive
article on inStream by =inancial advisor industry thought leader Bob Veres was published in last week*=99s Advisor
Perspectives and was immediately picked up by the Wall Street Journal (attached).
Funding
inStream continues to gather funding momentum with total proceeds from =capital raising now in excess of $7 million.
Efforts are now =ocused on the closing of an additional $5+ million in the form of a Series B Preferred which will enable
the company to continue the development of =the platform/functionality and significantly increase the sales effort =to
encompass both small/medium as well as large/enterprise-sized advisory firms. The company has already secured over
$1.5 million =n bridge funding of the Series B in the form of a Convertible Note which =includes an initial $500,000
investment from Dean Dakolias, a member of =the Management Committee and Co-Chief Investment Officer of the
Credit =Funds of Fortress ($60+ AUM billion leading diversified investment manager) which closed last week. Please
know that all investors =re currently eligible to participate in the Convertible Note and will also =be invited to participate
in the Series B Preferred once terms have been finalized regardless of whether or not they elected to participate in =the
Note.
Organization
Last week, Alex and I implemented a management reorganization that we have been discussing for the last few months.
Alex will now act as =Founder and President while I will now act as Chairman and CEO. We =oth feel that this change
will better align our roles with our skill sets, =especially in light of the significant growth of the company over the last
few months.
I look forward to your questions or comments either by email ([email protected]) or =hone (+1-917-620-3330)
and I will keep you updated as our pace continues to accelerate.
Many thanks for your continued enthusiasm and support.
All the best,
John Wotowicz
