1 - Grandview National is providing sell-side M&A advisory services for a Texas based wholesaler of fixed annuity insurance products (an Independent Marketing Organization or IMO) with estimated 2009 revenues of $12MM and adjusted earnings of $3.5MM-$4MM. The single owner of the company is looking to retire, but there is a strong #2 in place to run the day-to-day operations. The owner has not set an asking price, but is looking for a purchase price that is a fair market multiple of current earnings.

The company is looking for $4 million in loan--$2M for the purchase and $2M for operations while restructuring. Assets available are $8M in real estate and $5.5M in machinery and equipment. This can be done in one transaction or two separate transactions. Aside from those assets, the buyer’s financial statements are not strong.

Telecom Partners Group Corporation dba ATS Communications (“ATS”) represents landowners such as cities, water agencies and districts to negotiate leases for cell sites on their properties. ATS is paid by their city, agency and district clients by receiving a portion of the monthly Carrier lease payments. ATS is also offering their income stream to investors at an excellent rate of return.

Investments range from $30,000 to $200,000 per lease. The lease terms range from five to ten years. Investors are offered a 8.5% rate of return on their investment. Cell phone companies’ leases generally have a 3% or 4% annual increase, and all the increases are assigned to the investor. Consequently the payments have a built in inflation factor.

Why is ATS selling their portion of the lease payments? ATS is expanding rapidly and needs cash for business growth. It is better for their business plan to discount the payments due them and receive money up front rather than over a period of years. The cell phone company makes its payments directly to the investor through a bonded escrow company rather than through ATS.
