On behalf of Promontory Point Capital (www.promcp.com), we hope the first six months of 2012 have been successful for you and your business. With a continued focus on the ownership transition and financing objectives of Midwest-based privately-held companies, our firm’s clients have benefited from the continued improvement in the M&A and financing markets. For our firm, the first half of the year has gone by quickly and we are visiting with increasing numbers of companies seeking to achieve ownership transition, growth, and financing objectives still in 2012. While the markets remain aggressive, we are advising business owners and management teams that now is the time to take action.

The deal environment continues to show strength and PPC is pleased to have closed four client engagements thus far in 2012. These four deals represent a mix of engagements involving growth, financing, and ownership transition initiatives.

We are always interested in introductions to other trusted business advisors that may be a fit for our current mix of clients. Likewise, we are always interested in speaking with companies or their advisors that would benefit from an introduction to Promontory Point Capital. Currently our firm is leading several interesting client engagements, including:

• Financing: Representing a growing privately-held enterprise seeking $10MM+ of financing to fund an acquisition.
  
  
• Ownership Transition: Advising a client on ownership transition and liquidity options, including a possible sale to either a strategic buyer or a financial buyer, or a recapitalization by year end to take advantage of current tax rates.
  
  
• Corporate Development / M&A: Advising multiple clients on acquisition searches which includes identification, contact, and prequalification of dozens of targets. Our expectation is that our clients will acquire several of the identified targets over the next 3 to 12 months.
