New York, NY USA – (Press Release) June 23, 2008 — Over the past few years, US Multinationals have seen substantial growth in global businesses, especially in emerging markets. As a result, many companies have built up higher cash levels, as well as facing increased funding needs, across these global businesses. Hasit Vibhakar Speech.

One of the biggest challenges facing treasury today is gaining the ability to tap into corporate liquidity wherever it is, and putting it to greatest advantage where it is needed. Given today’s altered credit market and economic environment, with higher costs and risks, corporate treasurers are focusing on improving treasury practices within their firms. They are increasingly looking to take more globalized control of liquidity and working capital management processes within their organizations. By coordinating the use of cash across the enterprise, they are seeking to minimize risk, and optimize funding and investment decisions.

In a drive for improved efficiency, treasurers are also reevaluating internal operating processes, seeking to use centralization as a means to capitalize on efficiencies of scale and increase effectiveness. By centralizing and globalizing structures, wherever feasible, companies can integrate global liquidity management processes across multiple countries and currencies. In so doing, companies are better able to take advantage of changes in regulation, technology, and apply the wealth of innovative global banking tools that are available today.

Hasit Vibhakar commented on the subprime housing debacle and subsequent pullback in the credit markets have created uncertainty in the broader market, as investors wonder how long and how deep the economic slowdown and likely recession will continue. The angst has left many wondering if deal activity and financing will dry up in 2008.

During a roundtable discussion last month in Dallas, Texas, prominent private equity players and investment bankers talked about deal prospects and valuations, the expected rise in loan defaults and the need for quality. We interviewed Hasit Vibhakar, managing member of a private equity firm focused in the small cap and lower middle market opportunities.

What is the status of middle market M&A deal activity?

Hasit Vibhakar: For larger transactions, the market is pretty shut down. But in middle market where deals are valued between $ 25 million to $ 1 billion on the high end – activity is very vibrant. Our backlog is up 16% from last year. Deal quality is better now then last year.
