Falcon Solution:
In November 2007, Falcon, working closely with a non-traditional private equity group, helped to finance the acquisition of DMW. The transaction involved significant due diligence complexities including understanding financial results that utilized cost-of-completion accounting, a business that was somewhat tied to the ailing automotive industry, understanding and planning for the company to be carved-out from a large parent entity and the company’s significant surety bonding requirements.
