PARAGON PRIVATE
CLIENT GROUP
We explore the relationship between buyers and sellers to consummate transactions within specific healthcare sectors. The Paragon Concentrix Ratings are designed to provide an easy reference of the supply and demand for each niche business segment. It monitors and balances current buyer appetite with seller interest and the strength of market valuation. Concentrix ratings and market maker categories are based on trends of actual transactions closed within the past 18 months, public and private acquisition profiles and interviews conducted by Paragon Ventures across the spectrum of buyers. Many subjective and objective factors are used to influence our Concentrix ratings including revenue size and profitability levels of each enterprise. Valuation ratings are a blend of strategic and financial sponsor valuation criteria. A five year rolling average is used to determine relative strengths and weakness in the current market.

Year end 2006 continues a healthy market for sub-acute healthcare providers and suppliers with reasonable expectations for the valuation of their businesses. Of course, each situation must be judged based on its individual merits. However, for those looking to execute a well planned exit strategy for a well established, profitable and properly prepared business, the market (with a few exceptions) in many sectors, is strong. Supply and demand plays a critical factor in every M&A market. For those looking to acquire, the breadth of acquisition options and the number of sellers willing to entertain suitors leads us to believe that healthcare mergers and acquisitions activity will continue to increase well into the foreseeable future.
