Computers & Technology

Computer Printer Driver Manufacturer: $250,000 worth of soon-to-be obsolete inventory, with a cash value of about $25,000 was sold at the full wholesale. K&A then provided the client with various types of spend down that replaced his normal cash expenditures, including printing equipment and services.

SCSI Drive Peripheral Manufacturer: Talk about a transformation! This manufacturer had $1.2 million in inventory at book value, with a street value around 90% less.  Kaufman & Associates arranged for him to receive full book value and turn that inventory into furniture, instruction manual printing, long distance and a host of cash flow!

Packaged Goods

Sausage Manufacturer: Excess sausage product inventories were purchased and remarketed in non-competitive domestic markets. "No baloney", K&A can do this for your company, too!

Office Electronics

Uninterruptable Power Supply Manufacturer: A large manufacturer had $3.86 million in excess inventory and OEM product that was worth only 15%-20% of the original value due to changes in technology. Kaufman & Associates sold the goods for full original value and applied the trade credits toward printing annual reports and business forms, warehouse and shipping materials and other needed items and services.

Home Electronics

Surge Protector Manufacturer: One of the country's largest surge protector manufacturers had over 35,000 units due to a buyback (purchasing competitor's merchandise so that placement of your own goods can be obtained) from a retail chain. The value was $800,000.00. Kaufman & Associates arranged for a buyer at $800,000.00 who moved the merchandise in new, non-competitive areas.

Hospitality Industry

Hotel Chain: A large, publicly-traded hotel chain had an aggressive business plan to acquire and/or manage more hotel properties. K&A helped arrange a $500,000 secondary capital finance transaction using a like amount of hotel room gift certificates. The chain received the full value and filled their unsold rooms with guests who spent cash on food and other services. Then the chain used the credits to purchase everything from carpeting, to furniture, to printing. Thus, significant cash was conserved and applied to expansion.

Entertainment

Adult-themed nightclubs: This small chain with locations across the country needed financing. K&A was able to secure $500,000.00 in alternative financing in exchange for equity. Now, the firm is planning a full NASDAQ listing and is using the credits for construction build-out, printing of their prospectus, interior furnishings, media advertising and more!

Apparel

Golf Shoe Manufacturer: This company had a large inventory of shoes in a discontinued style. Rather than dump the shoes at a loss, glut the market and sabotage their own new model launch, they turned to K&A. We arranged for a buyer at full book value who remarketed the merchandise in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines.

Pharmaceutical Industry

Herb and Vitamin Manufacturer: This company had private labeled $1.5 million worth of bottles for a major chain store, only to have the order canceled. Even with much of the merchandise close to expiration, K&A came to the rescue with a buyer at full book value!

Financial

Public Company: K&A assisted this company in the exchange of restricted securities for several million dollars worth of media, as well as for financial printing.

Real Estate

Developer: Due to slow sales, this firm needed just one more sale to satisfy his bank's requirements for a loan.  Thanks to Kaufman & Associates, he received full value for the property, and used his credits to produce a video, purchase Realtor's incentives, obtain lighting and more.

Media

Publisher: K&A assisted this company from its very start-up, including helping them obtain printing and other necessities.

General Merchandise

General Merchandise Distributor: This company was having trouble moving 2.3 million mylar balloons that they had purchased opportunistically. The balloons had various messages on them ("Happy Bar Mitzvah", "I Love You", "Chicago Cubs", et cetera). K&A arranged for them to sell these balloons at full value, avoiding a "hit" on the books, and created warehouse space for other incoming inventories. Now the distributor can use the credits for warehouse materials such as corrugated, shelving, shrink wrap, pallets and more.
