Our goal is to consolidate our industry leadership positions in the collectibles and commodity trading marketplace. To that end, Spectrum Group intends to do the following:

• We will continue to seek strategic acquisitions of coin companies in the U.S. and Europe to round out our presence in this sector, and will seek to make selective stamp, wine and militaria acquisitions in the U.S. and Europe.
• We will review potential new categories of high-end collectibles, which may complement our existing business and build new revenue streams.
• We will also look to capitalize on opportunities for operational improvements in our philatelics, numismatics, wine and arts and antiques/militaria units.
• We will look to cross-sell between Europe and the U.S. and across different categories, expand our direct marketing of bullion coins in North America, generate synergies between wholesale and auction businesses, and create strategic Internet alliances.
• We will seek to improve the process of acquiring new collectibles and selling them through auction. We intend to continue to provide auction subsidiaries with the financial means to greater utilize advance payments in an effort to entice consignors.
• We will continue to focus efforts on growing the trading segment's operations through the developement of emerging markets including Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America.
• We will continue to identify growth for the trading segment through new commodity product offerings.
• We will continue to develop the trading segment's domestic finance business by offering a variety of collectibles and bullion finance products.

We believe our presence in six countries on three continents, coupled with our market expertise and our ability to operate on three selling platforms – auction, trading and merchant/dealer – make us unique in the industry and position us well for future growth.
