T he ba rrier to e ntry in tha t w orld is c on tac ts an d trac k rec ord and ex pe rien ce.I th ink w e have to look at it that w ay, and say that S ean or som eone like him can get them w hat they need and w e have to find a w ay to participate.
W ith S ean there is a better chance of not being pushed out than if w e brought in som eone w e don't know .
It's a p arado x to b e s ure : it ap pea rs as th oug h he w ants c re dibility , i.e. the ab ility to pe rform . I h av e do ne rea l e state fina nc in g but n ot th is . D erek h as
done tw o fa irly large deals, but as it t urns out m aybe too large and that's w hy he w as caught up in the $2 5k audit.
P lus, and th is is key, I t hink w e need an agreem ent w ith Jim to say that w e have in vo lv em en t b ey on d th e firs t d ea l a nd th en K on so rtiu m o r whoever isone-off on ly.

A s for your edits, I really didn 't intend for that to be the base of our next com munication w ith Jim , just as a record of m y notes so you w ould know w hat

T his k ind of business is not unique. T he banks w ill a lready understand w hat they do. N o need to have to explain a new technology or business. Thisk in d o f b us in es s is d on e a ll th e tim e.
N o need for form al office o r f or ow ner to be in a suit with an H erm es tie. Just does the B US IN ES S look and feel real and sustainable?

audit of that collateral. Then there are periodic audits but not every deal. T hey are set up for this. It will not require w ork. E ve n if the collateral is not
assum ed by G lobal, I.e., it is with a 3rd party, that can be accounted for by this system . T he banks w e w ill go to are N ational players that have specially
finance - tra de finance - groups and this is w hat they do.
If t here are issues in th e organ ization such as a lack of suffic ient controls or the team needs strengthening, m ay have to go first to a sm aller m ore
flexible lender or a private fund. In that case we are going to pay prim e plus 4 m ore or less (7.25 % as prim e is 3.25% ).
If t here is an issue w ith show ing collateral, say there is an unorthodox system of goods flow that we don't know about, it m ay push you into the n eed for
a m ezzanine piece. W ith that you are going to pay rates closer to 12% .
. A ll of these lenders w ill req uire G lobal to have som e of their equity , m aybe less than 2 0% , in the business (currently G loba l has this I believe).

T hat m ight be the easier ploy since it f its there m odel. I sen se frustration as you are try ing to find wh at G reg w ants in term s of pro duct, w hen m aybew hat he w ants is the 2 0c on the $ b arga in. C ouched a s a "liquidation" it m ig ht get his m otor running.
If th at w as the case, then you can detennine w hat the d em and is.
T he a dd itio na l v alu e y ou have is in logistics and getting the stuff here. They w ill likely be afraid of that and you have o ve rc om e th at h urd le .
A lso there is valu e in being aw are o f trends like you are . G reg doesn't seem to be the hippest guy and m ay not see where the buyers are m oving.
I w as thinking a bout natural connneclion points. If y ou can get 30 0 toilets from C hina that w ere go ing to a b usted ap artm en t deal and can sell th em to
rehab deal that needs new W C's, tha t fits the G L m odel.
O r, if B ig L ots can sell 5 00 0 couches that the y could buy for $2 00 ea ch (like those yo u told m e ab out last year) then that's a fit.
In those cases there should be a fee added to the cost- 5% for exarnpla- fo r a rra in gin g th e p urc ha se , th en a no th er 2 -3 % fo r h an dlin g lo gistics if y ou d(w hich yo u w ill) so th at th e fe es a dd to s om eth in g S Ub sta ntia l.
Y ou wou ld need to g et exclusiv ity in A sia (think big) for supply and as you get c loser to G reg 's ope ration by fu rther conversation you ca n get to w here
you can anticpa te w hat he needs.

Guys, after a long talk with Jim last night, and based on his statement that he and Greg expect to earn 10mill each by
completing all their current deals this year, here Is what Isee as the best play:
A single page outline of the plan, which includes protecting the current Investors with current returns, increasing the
pot to jim and greg, having a large war chest only requiring 15% return with the balance of proceeds going into the
holding company for distribution to greg and jim and the founding investors. One sentence on costs and one sentence
on making GL "investible" for traditional investors, thus allowing for unlimited capital raising and growth at 15%. A
sentence to acknowledge increasing the sales capacity of the business and maximizing the Haier opportunity and others
like it requiring low time input for large turnover. Also a sentence on us managing all the debt pool side of things and
not impinging on their time.
Forget anything about the specifics of due dil igence etc until we get them to buy into the vision. Iam, off to wv this
afternoon, meet greg in the morning and wil l be back tomorrow night. Am actually around early next week and would
like to shoot for discussing the plan with them early next week.
Jim is clearly trying to get Todd into the business and Iwill talk to Todd and feel out where he is at on it. Also the
idea of maximizing the Haier opportunity definitely gets his attention, no matter how hard he tries to remain satisfied
with the current system.
Let me know your thoughts. Also David, Ithink it is very important you remain in the background right now as Jim is
very sensitive to who knows what in the town.
Cheers!
Warren

1. Due DiligenceIt is necessary to understand the goals of ow nership, the organizational m echanics, and the existing
financial m odel in order to accom plish the Process outlined above. Principia w ill work w ith Ow nership to
address and answ er a checklist that w ill enable that understanding. Please see Attachm ent A "Due
D iligence C hecklist". U pon com pletion of that list, P rincipia w ill m eet w ith O wnership to review initia l
feedback and develop a draft strategy.
2. Specialist Input and Ownership feedback
Provided a positive outcom e of the due diligence process, and arm ed with an understanding of the
business and the baseline requirem ents needed to successfully launch an investm ent fund, P rincipia w ill
confer with necessary 3rd parties. Based on a budget and a tim eline, these m eetings with corporate
attorneys! accountants, and tax advisors w ill further shape our draft strategy.
3. Final Fund Structure
Upon completion of 3 rd party review s and input, P rincipia w ill publish the final fund strategy and develop
a m arketing plan for the funding itself. The m arketing plan will include targeted investors and
representatives and be appropriately tailored based on all of the realities discovered in the prior
processes.
4. Execution: Marketing and Receipt of Capital through Fund deployment
Because Principia acts as a fund m anager and not a broker/dealer, the (loads) rem ain low and the fund
remain s e ffic ien t m ea ns o f ra ising ca pital for G lob al Liq uida to rs' g ro wth.
5. Execution: Fund Management
E ffective m anagem ent of the fund involves regulatory com pliance, 'conststency w ith O wner goals, and
(adjustm ent) to reflect changing m arket alternatives and investor requirem ents. P rincipia w ill rem ain
involved in the m anagement of the fund beyond its in itia l inception and raise.

P RIN CIP IA A dvisors w ill orchestrate the process and raise the desired level of capital. P rincipia w ill a lso
provide ongoing day to day m anagem ent of the fund, com munication with investors, and m onitoring of

C O N C L U S I O N
Investors are actively looking for (m id-teen) yields provided risk is quantifiable and opportunities are
thoroughly understood, vetted, and appear sustainable. The successes of G lobal Liquidators w ould m ake

win support your investment decision and will specifically report on key areas such as: Investment Strategy and Approach;

Co-Investment Due Diligence
Our co-investment due diligence services are focused on providing the limited partners with a greater understanding of thescope of the general partner's due diligence, enabling the limited partner to assess whether the additional exposure beyond
the fund's investment in the portfolio company or vehicle is prudent. Additionally, with a wide network of general partner
contacts, we can also provide input on potential deal flow from those general partners so that you can begin building
relationships with additional top quartile partners.
With our collective background in performing direct investment due diligence for financial and strategic buyers, we have
tailored our approach to assist institutional investors in evaluating co-investment opportunities. We can provide cost
effective co-investment due diligence assistance to you, focusing on the following primary areas and activities:
Screen co-investment opportunities based on agreed upon criteria. We will work with your team to develop specific
initial target screening criteria, and apply this criteria to evaluate potential opportunities.
Discuss key issues and concerns with you. All preliminary concerns or unique issues that you may have, based on your
knowledge of the investment or the general partner, will be discussed and addressed as part of our due diligence process.
Obtain a detailed understanding of the investment opportunity. In particular, we will analyze the transaction terms,
business performance of the target company, nature and extent of the general partner's due diligence process, general
partner's investment thesis for making the investment and the rationale for the acquisition price and transaction structure.
Meet with the general partner, target management and other industry experts to discuss key 'issues and risks
associated with proposed investment. The key items would include industry and market outlook, firm strategy, management
team, and financial performance. This would be done in concert with your staff to the extent possible.
