Background

The capital management business grew out of our full-service turnaround and restructuring firm

In our turnaround business we deal exclusively with complex situations:

● Operations – in disarray ● Costs – out of control ● Stakeholder relationships - frayed ● Management – disillusioned, ineffective ● Cash Levels – minimal, facing further decline ● Balance sheet – seemingly beyond repair

We provide:

● Fresh Perspective – seeing things differently ● Clear incentives - driven to navigate through financial duress

● Granular financial and accounting expertise – always necessary, whether immediately apparent or not

● Negotiation skills – in dealing with debt holders, creditors, investors and customers

● Firm but fair stance – dealing with management, employees and third parties

What the turnaround business has taught us:

● Most losses are caused by: ► Poor due diligence up front ► Poor monitoring as the investment progresses

● Most unsuccessful turnarounds fail because investors: ► Don’t act soon enough when problems come to light ► Are ineffective and disorganized enacting solutions

Significant risk can be removed by:

● Careful and thorough due diligence ● Vigilant monitoring ● Proactive and ongoing engagement with management

● Acting without hesitation

Our turnaround and restructuring practice provides us with unique opportunities that are not readily accessible to other sources of capital

The Next Edge RCM Private Yield Fund- Investment StrategyThe Fund aims to achieve net returns of 10%+ per annum by providing asset and cash flow-backed debt facilities to small and medium-sized enterprises.

Who we Invest In

● Companies unable to access traditional sources of capital because of: ► Stage of Development ► Size ► Perceived riskiness ► Complexity ► Management or Board issues ► Legacy balance sheet problems

Funding Criteria

● Privately originated and negotiated financing ● Short to medium term time horizon: typically 6 - 36 months; but may be as long as 60 months ● General Security Agreement, Registered Security and customized security solutions ● Debt capacity fixed by liquidation values of secured assets or asset pools, or verifiable future cashflows ● Maximum investment amount set at 15%

Market Positioning

● Traditional subordinated and mezzanine lenders rely on lower security priorities, weaker lender rights and decreased controls over borrowers to generate higher returns than term debt. We achieve higher returns with lower risk by using in-house structuring to ensure:

► Thorough Due Diligence ► Comprehensive security ► Monitoring, Involvement, Intervention

● Competition in the Tactical Opportunities Fund investment space is limited to: ► Large lending companies in financial hubs (Toronto, New York) - geographic remoteness and deal size usually precludes

them from these deals ► Private individuals – lack the resources to effectively conduct the due diligence and monitoring required ► Company insiders – lack the ability to raise capital, especially given their existing net worth may already be invested

The Next Edge RCM Private Yield Fund- Preserving Capital

We focus on maintaining safety of principal in the event that the investee does not achieve their goals

Integral to the investment strategy is our experience and capability in turnarounds, restructurings, forensic accounting, mergers & acquisitions, disposals, and interim management services.

Pre-Investment Analysis and Negotiations ● Thorough due diligence and liquidation analyses on underlying assets and cashflows

● Extensive security coverage and agreements

● We always answer the question: “What is our way out?”

Post-Investment Monitoring and Control ● Regular general ledger monitoring and review

● Ongoing reviews of past and forecasted financial performance

● Frequent conversations with management

● Active involvement in finance and operations where necessary

Risk Mitigation ● We invest in companies where we believe that if the company fails in its objectives we can ensure a successful exit through multiple avenues:

► Managing out a recurring revenue tail

► Aggressive working capital management

► Direct asset ownership, management and liquidation

► Security backed by cashflow of ‘recurring revenue’ streams

► First place security over company assets
