This year’s survey deployed in October 2014, specifically examined the behavior of senior lenders, asset‐based lenders, mezzanine funds, private equity groups, venture capital firms, angel investors, privately‐held businesses, investment bankers, business brokers, limited partners, and business appraisers. The Pepperdine PCOC survey investigated, for each private capital market segment, the important benchmarks that must be met in order to qualify for capital, how much capital is typically accessible, what the required returns are for extending capital in today’s economic environment, and outlooks on demand for various capital types, interest rates, and the economy in general. Our findings indicate that the cost of capital for privately‐held businesses varies significantly by capital type, size, and risk assumed. This relationship is depicted in the Pepperdine Private Capital Market Line, which appears below. Figure 1. Private Capital Market Required Rates of Return 50.0%

The data reveal that loans have the lowest average rates while capital obtained from angels has the highest average rates. As the size of loan or investment increases, the cost of borrowing or financing from any of the following sources decreases. Table 1.

They also reported increases in deal flow, increased presence of strategic buyers, leverage and deal multiples, and improved business conditions. Domestic economic uncertainty was identified as the most important current and emerging issue facing privately‐held businesses, following by government regulations and taxes, and access to capital. Other key findings include:  Approximately 41% of respondents expect to close six or more deals in the next 12 months.  The top three reasons for deals not closing were valuation gap (29%), insufficient cash flow (22%), and lack of capital to finance (12%).  Respondents indicated a general imbalance between companies worthy of financing and capital available for the same. There is a reported shortage of capital for those companies with less than $11 million in EBITDA, but a general surplus for companies with $1 million in EBITDA or more.  The most popular valuation methods used by respondents when valuing privately‐held businesses were discounted future earnings, guideline company transactions, and capitalization of earnings approaches.  When using multiples to determine the value of a business, the most popular methods used by respondents when valuing privately‐held businesses were recast (adjusted) EBITDA multiple (58%), revenue multiple (12%) and EBITDA (unadjusted) multiple (11%) approaches. Operational and Assessment Characteristics Approximately 11% of the respondents didn’t close any deals in the last twelve months; 67% closed between one and five deals, while 22% closed six transactions or more.

All Rights Reserved. | 66 PEPPERDINE PRIVATE CAPITAL MARKETS PROJECT | CAPITAL MARKETS REPORT – 2015 BUSINESS OWNER SURVEY INFORMATION Of the 681 privately‐held businesses that responded to the survey, 15% had businesses that involved manufacturing, 12% were in professional, scientific or technical services, another 12% were in business service, followed by construction and engineering (9%). Approximately 50% of businesses have annual revenues less than $1 million. Nearly 89% of business owners report having the enthusiasm to execute growth strategies, yet just 52% report having the necessary financial resources to successfully execute growth strategies. Other findings include: Of the respondents who were seeking financing in the last 12 months, approximately 49% anticipated to raise less than $100,000 in capital. Approximately 47% of respondents reported that they were seeking bank business loans or business credit card financing as a source of funding, followed by friends and family (13%). Of all financing options, bank loans emerged as the financing source with highest “willingness” for small business to use, followed by grants and credit unions. Results also showed that 77% of privately‐held businesses that sought bank loans over the past 12 months were successful. Survey results indicated that business owners who raised capital on average contacted 1.9 banks. Nearly half of small businesses (57%) are planning to hire additional workers. Nearly 22% of respondents believe domestic economic uncertainty is the number one issue small businesses face today, another 21% believe government regulations and taxes is the most important current issue, followed by access to capital (18%). According to small businesses, of those policies most likely to lead to job creation in 2014, increased access to capital emerged as number one (31%) followed by “repeal or modify Affordable Care Act” (21%), and regulatory reform (19%). The study showed that of those that do plan to hire, skilled labor is in greatest demand (47%) followed by sales and marketing skills (44%) and service/customer service (37%). Also, 87% of companies planning to hire indicate they’d need to train those they hire. 37% of respondents believe that general business conditions improved in the twelve months compared to 33% surveyed year ago. Operational and Assessment Characteristics The privately‐held business survey results were generated from 681 participants. The locations of businesses are distributed over all regions of the United States. Figure 104. Respondents Distribution by State 0-2
