Restructuring

The current global economic situation is creating never before felt challenges for a wide range of
industries. For earlier stage companies either not yet profitable or in the midst of expansion, the
constriction of debt and equity capital is generating critical liquidity concerns. Maintaining intellectual
property, human talent and competitive positions in this environment is particularly difficult for companies
with real and proven value propositions, but in worsening cash situations. With the timing of recovery
uncertain, companies may need to take proactive and definitive action to ensure ongoing viability.

Working effectively with the company's principal stakeholders can become much more difficult when
severe stresses are placed on the business. Unfortunately, the pressures can be compounding and
often have a predictively negative effective on sound decision-making. A comprehensive approach
becomes important to ensure that stakeholders' interests are best met with all factors considered. An
early and aggressive approach can mean that the business becomes stronger, more focused and
ultimately better positioned to take advantage of developing opportunities in a recovering economy.
