‘The consolidation of Matt and Jeff’s talents to Angus Energy from REAL is another step we have taken at Angus Energy

to provide a comprehensive suite of solutions, in addition to our traditional core risk management business, to address the

major challenges dealers are facing today. Angus Energy recognized that increased commodity price volatility has

negatively impacted the industry’s ability to obtain appropriate levels of capital to fund operations and support growth.

This need was something we needed to address as without a strong financial foundation proper risk management strategies

are difficult to execute effectively,” Phil Baratz, President of Angus Energy, explained.

The Group can assist dealers in a broad range of financial functions from initiating a budget process, forecasting cash

flows to accessing a company’s financial condition and credit needs in preparation for bank meetings. The Group is

uniquely qualified to perform strategic planning for growth with analysis and valuation of merger and acquisition

opportunities.

The Group also serves as consultants to REAL in capital financing solutions uniquely tailored to meet the needs and

objectives of the fuel dealer. Fuel dealers now have access to an innovative capital source that can provide answers to the

current financial challenges facing their industry, including pricing volatility, increased bank and supplier credit standards,

lack of adequate cash reserves for peak season operation and costs associated with proper commodity and weather

hedging. In addition, these solutions can help fuel dealers capitalize on the increasing opportunities to expand and

diversify their businesses as funding to the industry via traditional sources has been severely curbed.
