I am not sure for the reason why, maybe its a good marketing strategy, maybe we know the transport market better, perhaps the economy helps. For whatever the case, we have become very busy with a number of small and large projects most in transport but some outside of it.

This includes: A $40 million Debt Recap of a $115 million dollar revenue Midwest Based Carrier, Sale of a Texas based General Frieght carrier, A Buy-Side assignment with a Family Office / Private Equity group, A debt/equity placement for a Boston based Medical Services company, A equity /debt placement for a small automotive parts manufacturer and a LOI being finalized for the sale of a Midwest based Bulk Carrier,

We are handling 7 client assigments at this time with another 8 to 10 in the pipeline. Extremely high acitvity on the LOI negotiations and the debt recap.

Keep it going in 2013!
