Asset Funding Group, LLC

THE FIRM

Asset Funding Group, LLC ("AFG" or the "Company"), a privately-held financial firm, was formed in 2004 by Barry Beitler and Jeffrey Hayden, specifically to fund the capital requirements and facilitate the operational real estate strategies/initiatives of middle-market, sub-investment-grade high-yield and emerging growth corporate entities. The Company and its related/managed entities currently own a portfolio of fifty-five properties funded over the last eight years, with a $10 million average asset value.

AFG makes direct investments through the acquisition of corporate-owned real estate assets, pursuant to a sale-leaseback, for its own account. Our focus is executing transactions with more structural flexibility, greater proceeds availability, and a lower cost of capital to the issuer than traditional subordinated capital transactions. Moreover, the Company differentiates itself with financial products that are more cost-efficient, transparent, non-dilutive to enterprise equity, and provide immediate improvement to key ratios.

Asset Funding Group develops, structures, and closes innovative financial transactions that typically include the issuance of secured lease obligation bonds and/or structured mortgage debt, with or without some element of third-party credit enhancement. These debt instruments may either be publicly or privately placed, with or without an agency rating.

AFG’s management team draws upon over forty-five years of combined real estate experience to accomplish the stated objectives. Specific areas of expertise include the sub-investment grade high-yield corporate finance arena, the institutional net-lease/sale-leaseback market, the securities and structured finance industry, as well as legal institutions and real estate agencies.

AFG employs experienced individuals with backgrounds in real estate analysis that use established procedures and systems to identify, acquire, and manage commercial net-leased real estate assets.

The Company has developed a proprietary financial model that allows us to fund a variety of situations. AFG’s investment research team is an integral component of this model; our depth of experience in structuring and underwriting complex transactions provides corporate client-unique solutions with both near and long-term client focus.

Furthermore, AFG maintains an extensive network of relationships with asset-based-lenders, commercial lenders, mergers & acquisitions specialty firms, investment banks, commercial banks, accounting firms, work-out groups, law firms, senior corporate managers, rating agencies and real estate brokers, which it uses to source and identify new investment opportunities.

These key assets provide a systematic approach to monitoring the market and an advantage in innovative structuring.
