We will pass out written ballots to any holder of record of our shares who wants to vote at the Meeting.

Any written notice of revocation or subsequent proxy should be sent to North Coast Partners, Inc., Attention: Brook Lang, Chief Executive Officer, 524 Second Avenue, Suite 500, Seattle, Washington 98104-2323, or hand delivered to our Corporate Secretary at or before the voting at the Meeting.

What is a quorum and what constitutes a quorum?

A “quorum” is the number of shares that must be present, in person or by proxy, in order for business to be conducted at the Meeting. The required quorum for the Meeting is the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the Voting Shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date. Since there is an aggregate of 12,720,000 Voting Shares issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, a quorum will be present for the Meeting if an aggregate of at least 6,487,200 Voting Shares is present in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

How many votes are required to approve the proposals?

The approval of each proposal herein requires the affirmative vote by the holders of a majority of Voting Shares that are present in person or by proxy at the Meeting, so long as a quorum is established at the Meeting. For example, if all 12,720,000 Voting Shares are present in person or by proxy at the Meeting, then each proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of 6,487,200 Voting Shares. As another example, if only the required minimum quorum of 6,487,200 Voting Shares are present in person or by proxy at the meeting, then each proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of 3,308,472 Voting Shares.

PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED UPON

PROPOSAL NO. 1

CHANGE IN THE COMPANY’S NAME FROM “NORTH COAST PARTNERS, INC.” TO

“MONTAVO, INC.”

Our Board seeks the approval of the shareholders to amend our Certificate of Incorporation for the purpose of changing our company name from North Coast Partners, Inc. to Montavo, Inc. Our Board has determined that it is in the best interests of our Company and its shareholders to change the name of the company to better reflect its proposed business activities and to seek shareholder approval of such name change. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Company will operate the current business of Montavo. As described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on May 9, 2008, Montavo is a Washington corporation which has developed a mobile Location Based Services marketing solution for wireless carriers, mobile handsets, wireless carrier/device software aggregators, personal navigation devices and vehicle manufacturers. The Board has approved an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation pursuant to which the first sentence of Article I of our Articles of Incorporation, which sets forth the name of the Company, will be amended in its entirety to provide as follows: “The name of the corporation is Montavo, Inc.”

OUR RECOMMENDATION TO SHAREHOLDERS

REGARDING PROPOSAL NO. 1

The Board has approved the proposal to amend our Certificate of Incorporation for the purpose of changing our name to Montavo, Inc., and recommends that our shareholders vote FOR approval of such amendment.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

INCREASE IN THE NUMER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

As of the record date, the authorized capital of Company consisted of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001 par value, of which, approximately 12,720,000 shares were outstanding, and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value, of which no shares are issued and outstanding. The Board has approved the change in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company to increase the number of authorized common stock from 20,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares of common stock. The approval of this proposal will not affect total stockholder equity but will increase the authorized capitalization of the Company.

The Company is currently obligated to issue more shares than it is authorized to issue. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement by and among the Company, North Coast Acquisition Corp. and Montavo, Inc., upon the consummation of the merger, the Company will issue 11,700,000 shares of Common Stock to Montavo’s shareholders. Currently, the Company does not have sufficient shares authorized to honor its obligations to

Montavo’s shareholders. For the foregoing reason, the Company needs to increase its authorized share capital.

The Board further believes that it is in Company's best interests to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock in order to provide the Company with the flexibility to issue Common Stock without further action by the Company's stockholders (unless required by law or regulation) for such other corporate purposes as the Board may deem advisable. These purposes may include, among other things, the sale of shares to obtain additional capital funds, the purchase of property, the use of additional shares for various equity compensation and other employee benefit plans of the Company or of acquired companies, the acquisition of other companies, and other bona fide purposes.

OUR RECOMMENDATION TO SHAREHOLDERS

REGARDING PROPOSAL NO. 2

The Board has approved the change in the Certificate of Incorporation of Company from having 20,000,000 shares of common stock authorized to the change in the Certificate of Incorporation of Montavo, Inc. providing for 100,000,000 shares of common stock authorized and recommends that shareholders of the Company vote FOR approval of the increase in the number of authorized shares of common stock.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

INCREASE IN THE NUMER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved a proposal to increase the authorized shares of Preferred Stock from 1,000,000 shares to 5,000,000 shares. As no class of Preferred Stock is currently outstanding, the Board of Directors believes that an increase in the authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock will provide the Company with greater flexibility to engage in transactions involving the issuance of Preferred Stock, such as financings and investment opportunities. The authorization of additional capital may have an anti-takeover effect, in that it may have the effect of discouraging unsolicited takeover bids, although that is not the intent of the Board of Directors. The Company does not currently have any plan or arrangement to issue any shares of Preferred Stock.

OUR RECOMMENDATION TO SHAREHOLDERS

REGARDING PROPOSAL NO. 3

The Board has approved the change in the Certificate of Incorporation of Company from having 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized to the change in the Certificate of the Company, providing for 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized and recommends that shareholders of the Company vote FOR approval of the increase in the number of authorized shares of preferred stock.

OTHER BUSINESS

REGARDING PROPOSAL NO. 4

Our Board knows of no business that will be presented for consideration at the meeting other than the items referred to above. If any other matter is properly brought before the meeting for action by shareholders, proxies in the enclosed form returned to the Company will be voted in accordance with the recommendation of our Board or, in the absence of such a recommendation, in accordance with the judgment of the proxy holder.
