LOS ANGELES -- The corporate consulting firm of Ballenger, Cleveland & Issa, LLC (BCI) is pleased to announce the establishment of its new "Emerging and High Growth Companies" consulting practice area. BCI has established this new practice area to provide "value-added" services to those small and mid-sized companies experiencing high growth. One of the cornerstone services of this new practice area will be the provision of new capital through BCI's merchant banking group. The move to create this new practice area is designed to expand upon the Firm's long-established Reorganization and Insolvency Consulting expertise and existing client base, a client base that has benefited from the expertise of BCI and its team of professionals over the past twenty years.

"Establishing an `Emerging and High Growth Companies' practice area is a natural step for BCI," says J. Michael Issa, Executive Managing Director of BCI. "The same principles we employ in the `turnaround and crisis management' process for troubled companies can greatly benefit those emerging and high growth companies in need of additional management support and new capital sources in order to maximize their potential to reach their next level of success."

BCI's new "Emerging and High Growth Companies" practice area consists of the following services:

--General Business Management and Consultation

--Merchant and Investment Banking

--Merger, Sale or Acquisition Due Diligence

--Strategic Planning

According to Christopher Wheeler, Managing Director of Special Industries at BCI, the expansion of services provided by BCI is also expected to be a logical extension of the firm's practice. "Given the scope of services traditionally offered by BCI, most of our clients didn't need our help once restored to health. Now we can offer those same clients additional assistance along their path to continued success and growth."

Mr. Issa added, "More and more we see companies that cannot handle the business trauma and crisis-like climate that rapid growth can have on an emerging business. Because we have the knowledge and experience to deal with crises, BCI is well positioned to provide assistance to these companies before this growth turns from a positive to a negative."

Ballenger Cleveland & Issa, LLC ("BCI") is a leading provider of corporate consulting and merchant banking services to companies with high growth potential in a broad range of industries and disciplines. From its three offices located in Southern California, BCI professionals are available to provide hands-on, specialized assistance in complex matters to domestic and international clients whose businesses are in transition or experiencing rapid growth. Without exception, the professionals at BCI each have decades of extensive hands-on operating experience in senior executive positions at numerous companies in a diverse range of industries.
