Case #435

$50 million national farm and feed distributor/retailer

This national feed and farm supply distributor and retailer averaged $50 million in revenue with six retail stores in the Northwest and 5 distribution operations in the Central states. Even with a positive contribution to the equity for three consecutive years, the company still had a negative equity position and was unable to meet the loan covenants that gave the lender the need to get out of the loan.

Morris-Anderson & Associates was brought in to stabilize the situation with the lender and client, and work out a cash-flow strategy. The crew immediately started looking for a new lender as we opened up communications and restored credibility between all parties (lenders, management and suppliers).

A new lender was on board 7 weeks after stabilization.
