9. Testimonials "Catalyst Manufacturing recently had the pleasurable experience of working with and using the services of Kenneth Marks for the purpose of acting as intermediary on the behalf of Catalyst and perspective Private Equity Groups for the purpose of a transaction. We found Mr. Marks to be the most professional and detailed individual in representing facts, figures, and advice on strategy. He is market knowledgeable, proactive, and results oriented. We have no reservation to promote Mr. Marks to other businesses, or consider engaging him for future possible business transactions." Jeff Benes, President, Catalyst Manufacturing Services "As part of the sale of our consulting firm, Buck Engineering, we agreed to sell our construction firm, River Works, Inc. The sale of Buck was led by Citibank and the sale of River Works by High Rock Partners. If we were to do it again, we would have High Rock Partners represent us in the sale of both companies. The value, expertise and mindshare received from Buddy and Kenneth was head and shoulders above the work done by Citibank. They did a great job." Jim Buck & Will Harman, Co-Founders, River Works, Inc.

10. Testimonials "High Rock Partners helped our company evaluate our strategic alternatives and think through our growth plans. In addition, the relationship with Gonzalo and Kenneth was educational for me, in that I am now much more aware of the financial position of my business. The tools that were put in place to monitor profit divisions within the business give me a quick snapshot of the items that need attention. The relationship with them forced me to be accountable. Before my involvement with them, I had no one pushing me on issues in the business that needed to be corrected. The result has been nearly doubling our business in the past couple of years." David Fitchett, President, Carolina Glass & Mirror, Inc.
