On behalf of Promontory Point Capital, we wish you a Happy New Year. Our activity level at the beginning of 2011 is significant, and thus the somewhat belated New Year wishes.

With a continued focus on providing deep investment banking experience exclusively to privately-held businesses, 2010 represented a record year for Promontory Point Capital. Through our strong relationships, we were introduced to a number of established Midwest-based businesses facing both challenges and opportunities. While the financial markets do continue to show improvement, many companies still lack the time, experience, and resources required to complete financing or M&A initiatives. Economic realities, tighter credit standards, and more conservative capital structures have all contributed to the complexity in getting deals done supporting that this is no longer a "Do-It-Yourself" market.

As an extension to our clients’ senior leadership teams, PPC successfully closed 8 client engagements during 2010. These engagements involved ownership transition, merger, and acquisition advisory objectives, debt restructuring and recapitalization initiatives, and securing new financing for growth and expansion. Please click on any tombstone below for more information on select 2010 client successes.

	Let's Get To The Point: Results Matter.

In addition to these highlighted 2010 successes, other clients engaged PPC to achieve objectives involving strategic partnerships, licensing arrangements, as well as profit improvement efforts. We welcome inquiries from business owners, and their trusted advisors, on ways to achieve their strategic and financial objectives in 2011, especially situations involving the following:

• Business owners and their management teams seeking to better understand their options relative to growth, ownership liquidity strategies, or financing options.
• Companies over-extended with their current lender or bank group, including forbearance situations.
• Under-capitalized businesses needing an injection of institutional or “junior” capital beyond bank debt.
• Company revenues greater than $10MM, including both profitable and unprofitable situations.
• For financing initiatives, funding needs involving debt and/or equity from $3MM to $100MM.

We welcome your confidential inquiry and encourage you to visit our website at www.promcp.com for more information on our firm's capabilities and other client successes. On behalf of Promontory Point Capital, we wish you a prosperous 2011.
