I. BACKGROUND AND KEY CONSIDERATIONS
Background
FMV was engaged to provide certain financial services to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors (“Special Committee”) of En Pointe Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) in connection with a potential Transaction (as hereinafter defined). We understand that the Special Committee has been formed to respond to a potential offer to acquire the Company from an affiliate of the Company (“Buyer”). Such potential transaction or an alternative transaction involving the acquisition of the Company is referred to hereinafter as the “Transaction.” In connection with the Transaction, FMV has been retained to:
    provide financial analysis regarding the Company which may include ranges of indicative valuations of the Company’s common stock; and
 
    at the request of the Special Committee, render an opinion (“Opinion” hereinafter) to the Special Committee as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Company or its stockholders (other than the Buyer), as applicable, of the Transaction consideration to be received by it or them in connection with the Transaction.
The Special Committee has requested that we render our Opinion, and that the Opinion be based on an all-cash share price of $2.50 per share (“Transaction Consideration” hereinafter). Accordingly, the purpose of this presentation is to summarize our financial analyses and fairness, from a financial point of view, with respect to the Company and the $2.50 Transaction Consideration.
Key Considerations
In performing our analyses of the Company, we have considered the following key issues:
    Excess Cash & Securities from EPGS Sale – We have treated all cash and marketable securities as non-operating in nature. Thus, we have added the value of cash and marketable securities of the Company to that of the remaining operations of the Company. In quantifying the value of the stock in Allied, we have considered the remainder of a one-year lock-up period in such stock (pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement), its block size, and the trading volume of Allied.
 
    Other Non-Operating Items – We have treated the amounts owed to the Company from EPGS, the $2 million to be received from Allied, and several investments in securities as non-operating in nature. Thus, we have added the value of these items to that of the operations of the Company.

I. BACKGROUND AND KEY CONSIDERATIONS (Cont.)
    19.5 Percent Interest in EPGS – In order to quantify the value of the 19.5 percent interest in EPGS, we performed a valuation of EPGS, considering market data and the implied value of the aforementioned transaction. We have added the value of the minority interest in EPGS to that of the operations of the Company.
 
    70 Percent Interest in Ovex – We have performed a separate valuation of Ovex in order to eliminate the value of a 30 percent interest therein not owned by the Company.
 
    Interest in Premier – The Company owned 6,313 shares of 12,347 shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding in Premier with a liquidation preference of $100 per share. In addition, the Company owns 30 percent of the common stock of Premier. Premier’s financials are consolidated into those of the Company. Accordingly, we have performed a valuation of Premier in order to eliminate the value of the interest not owned by the Company.

1   The preferred stock liquidation preference totals $1,234,700, which exceeds the low value indication of $890,000. For the high value indication, we allocated value to the preferred shareholders up to the liquidation preference and allocated the remaining value to common shareholders in proportion to their ownership in common shares ($1,260,000 — $1,234,700 = $25,300 * 70% owned by outside shareholder = $17,710 + 48.9% of $1,234,700 liquidation preference = $603,400 = $621,110).
