Companies in difficult times need extraordinary service. At Kent Group, our full service philosophy and never-quit attitude is perfect for assisting companies in financial distress. We understand the challenges affecting companies experiencing a downturn in the agriculture and food industries. Many distressed companies are well managed but suffer from particular market dynamics or are over-leveraged. We are able to look beyond a company's existing financial condition to discern its value drivers and hidden assets not presented on the balance sheet.

We understand the managerial and emotional challenges affecting financially distressed companies and the complexities of workouts in out-of-court settlements and bankruptcy proceedings. Kent Group provides expertise in the following areas:

• Exclusive sale of distressed companies under lender workout and court supervision situations.
• Develop and execute plans for management to divest operating units and product lines to the benefit of existing creditors and equity holders.

• Formulate turnaround programs and strategies to assist highly leveraged companies in renegotiating existing debtor relationships or in raising additional debt and equity.
