B. Riley is an important partner to Dynamics Research Corporation and their investment banking team moved swiftly in arranging our subordinated debt financing for this transaction. B.

The B. Riley team did an excellent job in representing Cardiogenesis, without B. Riley’s exceptional efforts, we would not have completed such a favorable transaction for our shareholders.

Paul McCormick
Chairman
Cardiogenesis
B. Riley’s banking team was efficient in identifying and coordinating the right combination of new and existing API investors to participate in our private placement. Their experience in the defense sector was a benefit to API.

Brian Kahn
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
API Technologies
We’ve known the B. Riley team for several years. Their extensive relationships with quality capital sources were instrumental in helping us secure funding for acquisitions and our overall growth needs.

Donald Tringali
Chairman of the Board
National Technical Systems, Inc.
B. Riley’s experience in the financing of defense and technology companies allowed us to secure needed capital quickly and efficiently.

William McGinnis
Chief Executive Officer
National Technical Systems, Inc.
For a company such as ours which is in a growth phase, we appreciate B. Riley coming to the table with their A-Team, who bring over 30 years of banking experience. This is in stark contrast to larger firms who do not bring this kind of talent to smaller deals. We’ve worked with B. Riley since the late 1990s, and they were integral in helping build one of my prior companies, Titan Corp., which was successfully sold to L3 Communications for approximately $2 billion dollars. We’ve found B. Riley to be relationship oriented and not transaction driven. For Kratos, the B. Riley team has represented us in three successful capital raises and two advisory engagements in the past 12 months. Each time, they have consistently exceeded our expectations. This offering was completed in 36 hours which is testimony to the strength of the existing Kratos shareholder base, the strength of B. Riley’s institutional relationships and the quality of our company’s fundamentals.

Eric DeMarco
President and CEO
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions
