Thermal Ventures, Inc. owns and operates
through subsidiaries and affiliates central
heating and cooling utilities. During 1998, in a
previously announced transaction, Source
Capital, Ltd. helped the Company negotiate the
sale of two of its subsidiaries and to buyout the
interests of both its co-founder and an
institutional owner. This left the scaled-down
Company under the control of the other cofounder
in January 1999.
Since then, Source has helped the Company
evaluate its recapitalization alternatives,
identify and contact a number of financial and
strategic investors, and select and complete a
transaction with a well capitalized capital
partner, which will be able to provide growth
capital and board level business development
guidance. Source has also made introductions
to two strategic partners that will significantly
enhance the Companys growth prospects. As a
result of these transactions, the Company is now
positioned to be a leading specialty asset
manager of central heating and cooling systems.
Since 1982, Source has assisted closely-held
companies on matters of wealth planning,
growth strategy, company capitalization and
operational effectiveness.
