Based on perceived opportunities in the marketplace and the current StoneBrook portfolio, a likely acquisition/investment candidate will feature:

• Track record of profit and cash flow. StoneBrook is seeking involvement in proven companies with real cash flow. We are not currently considering any concepts, start-ups or companies which have fallen to the depths of a severe “turn-around”.
  
  
• Strong core of recurring revenue. By effectively meeting a fundamental need, a candidate company will have a resilient demand for its products and services regardless of the economic climate.
  
  
• Scale-able business model which can be grown prudently.
  
  
• In-house talent. StoneBrook can recruit & train talent as need be, but in-house talent is a huge plus. Valuable talent can be found at any level of the company and is not dependent on formal education.
  
  
• Reasonable risk/reward ratio. Accurately identifying the real risk/return characteristics can be difficult, but finding the proper balance is important for all parties. In contrast to a true operational turn-around, StoneBrook is actively seeking “Restructuring” opportunities which could be cash flow positive on Day 1.

Over the last 20 years, through over 100 different partnerships and/or transactions, the Principals and Advisors of StoneBrook have participated in over $100 million of transactions with companies generating more than $200 million of combined revenues through the dedicated efforts of more than 1,500 combined employees.
