Greetings!
Merger and acquisition activity continues to be modest
in certain segments due in part to a continuing weak
economy and lingering war uncertainties. We continue
to believe that GDP growth will be 3 percent to 4
percent by the second half of 2003 and interest rates
will stay constant. Merger and acquisition activity will
begin to emerge as the capital requirements of growing
companies become more evident and there is a clearer

marketplace. An article on the methodology of a
private placement transaction is included. An article is
also included on the difficulties of raising private equity
capital written by a business owner first hand.
