You may see companies merging together with the idea that 'If we can get very efficient with the cost structure with a combined company, we can see our way through these tough times.'""I anticipate that the role of private equity will shift, at least in intermediate term, from financial engineering to operational engineering.

Many of the traditional lenders are either sitting on cash or trying to build a larger cash position or making the terms available pretty onerous.

We unfortunately expect that the first half of '09 will continue like the second half of '08, where it's tough to get financing."MARK SHAPIRO, HEAD OF RESTRUCTURING AND FINANCE GROUP ,BARCLAYS CAPITAL, NEW YORK"Financing markets right now are really driving the lack of appetite for assets at the moment .
