"Approximately 1000 Form SH reports will be filed with the Commission each week during
the period through August 1, 2009; ... Each filing will impose an estimated reporting burden
of 20 hours on the filer at an estimated internal cost of $3500 per filing, plus an estimated
$90,000 per filing in legal and filing costs for managers that retain the services of an
outside law firm and EDGAR filing agent."

SHO-Time
This application automates the filing of form SH in compliance with SEC regulations as of
October 15, 2008. It is a practical solution essential to effective time management and
use of resources.
The biggest and most tedious task is reviewing the list of section 13(f) securities and
comparing it against the fund's daily trade blotter. Currently the SEC does not provide
this list in any format other than PDF, which makes it virtually impossible to expedite
the process by developing an Excel macro or other simple automation process.
SHO-Time's software engine consists of a number of processes:
- SEC list generation
- Shares Outstanding calculation
- Trade data review and filtering based on SEC requirements
- EDGAR-friendly report generation
