Fund Overview
Acuta Opportunity Fund, LP (the "Fund" or "AOF") is a fundamental bottom up research-driven hedge fund investing in high quality, under-followed smaller capitalization and special situations
companies that we believe offer compelling risk/reward dynamics. Investment time horizon is long-term compared to the very short-term oriented market. Sector exposure is opportunistic with
emphasis in healthcare. The portfolio manager's deep healthcare expertise and private equity experience helps provide a differentiated edge to the Fund's investment strategy. The Fund is a 3c1
fund that was launched on Oct 28, 2011. On May 1, 2014, Acuta Capital Fund, LP was launched as a 3c7 fund with the same investment objectives as the Fund.

On December 1, 2013, the Fund created a side pocket (“AOF Side Pocket”) for certain illiquid investments where 8.9% of each partner's capital was allocated to the
AOF Side Pocket. At the end of each month, the General Partner evaluated the holdings in the AOF Side Pocket and determined if any assets should be deemed liquid.
Once assets were deemed liquid, those assets were removed from the AOF Side Pocket and returned to main AOF portfolio. As of September 30, 2014, all AOF Side
Pocket investments had been realized or deemed liquid and the AOF Side Pocket was dissolved on such date. The table below shows the net monthly historical returns
of the Fund, excluding AOF Side Pocket performance, for the months during which the AOF Side Pocket existed. Investors admitted to the Fund on or after December
1, 2013 did not have any economic interests in the AOF Side Pocket and their historical returns may vary from the returns presented with respect to applicable time
periods versus investors admitted prior to such date.

The information provided herein is historical and past performance is not indicative of future results. As with any investment strategy, there is potential for
profit as well as the possibility of loss. No guarantee of investment performance is being provided and no inference to the contrary should be made. It should not be
assumed that an investment in any fund managed by Acuta Capital Partners, LLC or its affiliates will be profitable. Investment in the funds described herein will be
suitable only for certain sophisticated investors who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment and who are comfortable with the substantial risks
associated with such an investment. Direct comparisons between the Fund's performance and market indices are not without complications. The iShares Russell 2000
ETF (NYSE:IWM), which is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that seeks to track the investment results of the Russell 2000 Index, is being used as a potential benchmark.
The Russell 2000 Index is a float-adjusted capitalization-weighted index of equity securities that measures the performance of the small-capitalization sector of the U.S.
equity market. The Russell 2000 Index is unmanaged and investors cannot invest directly in an index, while the iShares Russell 2000 ETF is professionally managed
and its performance results are net of fund expenses including management fees. It should not be assumed that the Fund will invest in any specific instruments, such as
those that comprise the index or ETF, nor should it be understood that there will be a correlation between the Fund's returns and those of the index or ETF. No
representation is made that the Fund will replicate or exceed the performance of any index or ETF. Market indices generally are comprised only of equity securities, are
designed to measure performance of a market as a whole or sub-sectors of a market and reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but not transaction costs
or performance fees. Unlike indices, the Fund is actively managed and may include substantially fewer and/or different securities than a diversified market index. Due
to the differences among the Fund's portfolio and the composition of equity market indices, no such index or ETF is directly comparable to the investment strategy of the
Fund. Please note that this letter contains unverified performance estimates and may be subject to change. The General Partner and its affiliates undertake no obligation
to revise or update this information. THIS PERFORMANCE SUMMARY IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.
