In case you can't open the site. Here is a little about Alda and Associates.

ALDA’s Business Model

Profit Improvement, Financial and Business Assistance
In today’s world, financial and business issues can rapidly overwhelm even the most astute managers. Financial planning, tax matters, and accounting and profit improvement issues are particularly complex. As a strategic partner, ALDA is uniquely qualified to assist you with those business issues. We become strategic partners with management, the Board of Directors and stakeholders.


Strategic Planning
ALDA can help you on the road to financial success by leading you through an assessment of your mission and assisting you in the development of a business plan to meet your goals. Strategic Planning is essential to any well-managed successful business, but even more so as businesses enter what promises to be a period of consolidation, regulation and turbulence.


Financing
How should facilities and working capital be financed? Assessing and determining the optimum capital structure of your company involves complex considerations, even before you address the challenge of successfully raising the capital. ALDA has been instrumental in determining appropriate capital structures and successfully raising the required funds for a long time. This has enabled us to develop strong relationships with institutions interested in financing businesses and helping companies to smoothly implement their business plans.


Mergers and Acquisitions/Post-Merger Integration
Whether you are thinking of acquiring or selling a business, ALDA can evaluate the financial consequences of your transaction. Through acquisition investigation and financial analysis, ALDA can measure the risk in a proposed merger or acquisition and develop specific recommendations as to what tactics would be most advantageous to you. Additionally, our consultants can help with the critically important post-merger integration planning and implementation, a process that is often overlooked when the deal is done.


Operations and Process Improvement
Processes and systems evolve over time to meet current crises. This leads to redundancies and inefficiencies created by necessity. ALDA reviews and identifies revisions to processes and procedures that will reduce redundancies and eliminate manufacturing bottlenecks, while promoting effective internal accounting controls.


Intellectual Property and Regulatory Affairs (FDA)

ALDA brings to bear a wide-range of professionals that specialize in the areas most critical for success. These include (1) the development of an intellectual property estate (through the patent process) and (2) navigating the maze of regulatory affairs and commercial approval (the Food and Drug Administration "FDA"). ALDA will assist in all the phases from concept to commercialization.

Wow! ALDA wanted to buy WHAI for 42.5 million!
Docket 139 and 140 is the same. Thanks PACER, you ripped me off! LOL!
ALDA is supporting Palisades et al. to stop the auction.
The BOD at WHAI REALLY have stuff to hide by not wanting/letting anybody else buy the company!!
I hope they stick it to those f—ckers!

If ALDA buys WHAI then they would restructure/refinance the company right?
That is what they do right? The shareholders would not get the shaft right?
