Grace Matthews Inc. provides transaction
advisory services for manufacturers and
distributors throughout the chemical and
materials value chain. By design, Grace Matthews has a relatively small staff of highly
experienced professionals. A managing director leads every engagement- this means
they actually work on the deal day-to-day. In
fact, Managing Director Ben Scharff wrote
this issue's Market Report found on page 16.

PCAS develops and produces complex
molecules for life sciences and innovative
technologies and offers a growing range of
proprietary products and solutions in
leading-edge segments. It also includes two
very high-potential subsidiaries:
Protéus in biotechnology and Enersens in
high-performance insulation. Boasting
especially high standards, PCAS employs
more than 900 people in six countries.

LETTER FROM THE CEO Continued from page 3
reining in frivolous lawsuits - needs to be a part of the mix.
Hospitals and doctors, in fear of lawsuits, overcompensate
with testing and unnecessary procedures that we all end up
paying for. This absolutely needs to be fixed.
And yes, we need full participation in the insurance system.
While the mandate was unpopular with Republicans, we do
need a way to get more participation, particularly from the
younger segment of the population. But it's not going to be
by soaking this debt-saddled generation with high premiums
(that they can't afford) to subsidize the premiums of the aged.
As the Republicans grappled with drafting their reform legislation, the Democrats expressed phony outrage over being
excluded. But Democrats were equally guilty when the ACA
was crafted behind closed doors several years ago. Now it
should be clear that if health care is going to be addressed, it's
going to take compromise AND working together. Americans
should demand it. Health care affects everyone, and if there
was ever an issue where a full and open process was needed,
it's this one.
When you call your member of Congress and ask for help
with health care, demand an open process and bipartisanship -
demand compromise. Then, maybe, there will be a chance of
fixing this mess.
