Western America views executive management as partners in the process of creating a successful investment. The success of the overall strategy depends on the company's management and the Partners' maintaining a close working relationship following an investment. We focus, with management, on improvements in financial performance through initiating programs to grow revenues, expand margins and efficiently manage working capital, resulting in earnings growth and greater cash flow.

Early support of an acquired company leads to better operating performance for the business. Consequently, following the closing of a transaction, we have one or more of our team members work on-site with management, assisting with operational, financial reporting and transitional issues. As appropriate, following this initial period, Western America will continue to work closely with senior management through regular on-site visits and scheduled management meetings to provide support for various initiatives.
