Recent Newsletter

October 8, 2003

As we enter into the fourth quarter of 2003, we thought it appropriate to provide you with a brief update of Penn Capital's recent activities.

A phone call from a regional investment banking acquaintance provided an engagement to sell a fourth generation retail sporting goods store in Pennsylvania with sales over $5 Million. Penn Capital identified a Boston investor and closed the transaction in April.

A vendor referral led to an engagement of a 100-year-old company with cash flow problems. Penn Capital identified a buyer for some of its fixed assets, allowing it to continue operations while Penn Capital continues to find an investor to purchase the remaining company along with its product line.

Another engagement resulted in a pending closing of a steel service center which services the eastern market.

These are a sampling of Penn Capital's activities in 2003. Enclosed are two new engagements that may interest you or your clients. Please call us to discuss these opportunities.

Since its founding, Penn Capital has dedicated its professionals to focusing on the needs of closely-held corporations and family-owned businesses with transaction values of $1-15 Million.

Perhaps you know of someone who needs our services. Please keep us in mind. We hope you consider us a valuable resource.

Sincerely,

PENN CAPITAL GROUP, L.L.C.
