BACKGROUND
 The judgment collection business is a fragmented yet pervasive business.
While some detail of the terms of legal judgments are part of the public
domain via court decisions, the pursuit and recovery of these assets are
outside the public domain principally due to the desire on the part of the
client (the judgment holder) and the client’s legal counsel to keep this
information confidential.
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

BACKGROUND
 A typical process will include the following steps:
1) Identify a seasoned, final, non-appealable judgment or fine rendered
by a court in the United States
2) Perform preliminary due diligence to determine the enforceability of
the judgment and the likelihood that there are sufficient attachable
assets to satisfy the judgment
3) Negotiate and purchase the judgment for pennies on the dollar
4) Investigate the location of secreted assets and freeze the assets with
the support and assistance of local legal counsel
5) Negotiate a settlement of the judgment and/or collect the assets. If
the assets are not in the form of cash or cash-equivalent securities,
liquidate the assets and collect the cash.
1) Note: It may be a better risk/return profile for Yukon investors if some judgments
are settled in a negotiated manner rather than prosecuted to their conclusion.

DUE DILIGENCE FINDINGS ON INTERFOR AND THE
JUDGMENT COLLECTION BUSINESS
 Etico Capital, a Division of Halcyon Cabot Partners, has conducted
preliminary due diligence on Interfor and Juval Aviv. Our review included a
limited review of judgments that Interfor has worked on for clients, a
discussion about both Interfor and Juval Aviv with a number of prominent
law firms that regularly retain Interfor and Mr. Aviv to assist in judgment
recovery, and a review of the judgment collection process.
 Due to the confidential nature of judgment recoveries and the
unwillingness of the owners of the judgments (the clients) or their legal
counsel to disclose detail about recovery rates or levels, it is not
completely feasible to systematically review the end result of the
judgments that Interfor and Juval Aviv have worked on, on behalf of their
clients. The client/attorneys that spoke to us generally agree that
Interfor/Aviv have performed the search and recovery function very
effectively and they would continue to use Interfor in the future.

Preliminary review suggests that this judgment can be purchased for approximately
$100,000-$200,000 and a significant portion may be recoverable within the next 90-180
days.
 Judgment 2: A $10 million judgment where Yukon believes the defendant, prior to
