2011 Second Quarter Review M&A Marketplace CONTACT US As 2010 came to a close, most dealmakers anticipated resurgence in the merger & acquisition (M&A) marketplace in 2011. Some of the factors attributable to this expected growth include the fact that the economy is growing again, with less market volatility and buyers have regained the ability to finance deals again. At the halfway point in 2011, we have seen increased activity in the M&A marketplace, specifically a significant increase in dollar values. The overall dollar value of activity increased 61% through the first six months of 2011 as compared to the first six months of 2010 (from $323.9 billion in the first half of 2010 to $521.8 billion in the first half of 2011). However, we are seeing activity that reminds us that some memories may be too short. For example, there has been tremendous activity in the capital markets allowing companies with at least $15 million of trailing twelve month cash flows to fund as much as six times (6x) those cash flows in debt. We have seen a company with ten times (10x) leverage in a senior asset based facility decide not to take advantage of an ability to sell some non-core assets to deleverage the business. We are working towards several closings with a significant uptick in the last two weeks of potential engagement opportunities for the second half of the year. We are looking forward to having a continued strong pipeline of deal activity and are working hard to ensure our clients’ expectations are in line with the current capital markets. Fortunately, all our clients’ businesses seem to be performing well, so we are encouraging them to remain steady and practical about their decisions. We believe that good opportunities currently exist for stable businesses interested in selling because of strong demand from strategic buyers and private equity groups – both of which are sitting on significant levels of cash to deploy for acquisitions. Although we continue hearing tales of banks being open to lending money again, we are still seeing a tightening in appraisals and borrowing ratios that restrict the credit being issued by lenders. However, we are finding success as we help our clients navigate those quagmires, which has not been easy in most cases. As leverage remains low, valuations in mergers and acquisitions are likely to remain lower than the peaks in 2006 and 2007, but deal activity seems to be picking up as buyers appear to be willing to pay a larger percentage of equity for good businesses. In light assets businesses, like technology and distribution companies, we continue to see pockets of activity in mergers and acquisitions. We expect this activity to increase through the rest of 2011 as companies continue pulling through inventories and start re-investing in technology investments (e.g., systems, hardware, software and infrastructure) they have been putting off since 2008. In building products and services businesses, we are seeing some activity, which is certainly an improvement from no activity. Interestingly, the activity has very strong margins – sometimes double or triple the margins from the peaks in 2006 and 2007. We do not expect strong top-line growth in building products and services companies. Instead, we are hoping for some slow, consistent growth as housing inventories slowly move downward, creating some need for new housing starts. If so, we believe building product and service companies will focus on trying to hold their margins rather than ramp up to flood the markets again causing downward pricing pressures.

M&A Marketplace

C O N T A C T U S

As 2010 came to a close, most dealmakers anticipated resurgence in the merger & acquisition (M&A) marketplace in 2011. Some of the factors attributable to this expected growth include the fact that the economy is growing again, with less market volatility and buyers have regained the ability to finance deals again. At the halfway point in 2011, we have seen increased activity in the M&A marketplace, specifically a significant increase in dollar values. The overall dollar value of activity increased 61% through the first six months of 2011 as compared to the first six months of 2010 (from $323.9 billion in the first half of 2010 to $521.8 billion in the first half of 2011).

However, we are seeing activity that reminds us that some memories may be too short. For example, there has been tremendous activity in the capital markets allowing companies with at least $15 million of trailing twelve month cash flows to fund as much as six times (6x) those cash flows in debt. We have seen a company with ten times (10x) leverage in a senior asset based facility decide not to take advantage of an ability to sell some non-core assets to deleverage the business.

We are working towards several closings with a significant uptick in the last two weeks of potential engagement opportunities for the second half of the year. We are looking forward to having a continued strong pipeline of deal activity and are working hard to ensure our clients’ expectations are in line with the current capital markets. Fortunately, all our clients’ businesses seem to be performing well, so we are encouraging them to remain steady and practical about their decisions.

We believe that good opportunities currently exist for stable businesses interested in selling because of strong demand from strategic buyers and

private equity groups – both of which are sitting on significant levels of cash to deploy for acquisitions.

Although we continue hearing tales of banks being open to lending money again, we are still seeing a tightening in appraisals and borrowing ratios that restrict the credit being issued by lenders. However, we are finding success as we help our clients navigate those quagmires, which has not been easy in most cases. As leverage remains low, valuations in mergers and acquisitions are likely to remain lower than the peaks in 2006 and 2007, but deal activity seems to be picking up as buyers appear to be willing to pay a larger percentage of equity for good businesses.

In light assets businesses, like technology and distribution companies, we continue to see pockets of activity in mergers and acquisitions. We expect this activity to increase through the rest of 2011 as companies continue pulling through inventories and start re-investing in technology investments (e.g., systems, hardware, software and infrastructure) they have been putting off since 2008.

Recent Trends

Interest Rates and Deal Volume Quarterly M&A Activity and Multiples

Middle market ($0-$250 million) deal volume accounts for 82% of total dealvolume and has increased by 22% since July 2010.

Trailing Twelve Month Deal Activity by Transaction Size

Although interest rates are at all-time lows, liquidity/access to capital, though improving, continues to negatively impact the M&A market.

Deal volume decreased slightly in 2011 with multiples remaining stable and markedly higher than the trough in 1Q 2009.
