Key Financial Metrics

- Outstanding Principal Prepaid: $17,371,865
- Accrued Interest Paid: $18,711
- Make Whole Amount: $2,647,865

Material Changes
On April 6, 2011, the Company voluntarily prepaid three Note Purchase Agreements (NPAs) with John Hancock Life Insurance Company. These notes were originally scheduled for monthly principal and interest payments through September 2014. The prepayment resulted in the immediate recognition of the make whole amount and unamortized deferred financing costs as expenses.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not provide updated revenue guidance, profit outlook, or general risk factors. The primary implication is a reduction in future interest expense obligations and a one-time charge to earnings associated with the early termination of the debt.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the impact of the $2.71 million total expense (make whole plus deferred costs) on the current quarter's net income.
- Confirm the Company's remaining liquidity position following the $20.04 million cash outflow.
- Review subsequent filings for details on any new debt instruments issued to replace the prepaid notes.
