Key Financial Metrics and Debt Structure
The filing does not provide specific revenue, profit, cash flow, or margin data for the reporting period. The primary financial disclosure relates to debt capacity and liquidity facilities:
- New Credit Facility: A senior revolving credit facility of up to $25.0 million with Wells Fargo HSBC Trade Bank, N.A., effective September 1, 2006, through August 30, 2009.
- Interest Rates: Floating rate of Prime minus 0.50% or fixed rate of LIBOR plus 1.00%.

Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The Company replaced its previous $20.0 million secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. (the "Prior Facility"). The Prior Facility, originally scheduled to expire on July 1, 2006, had been extended month-to-month and was terminated effective August 31, 2006. This transition increased the Company's available credit capacity by $5.0 million.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

- Covenant Compliance: The Company is subject to ongoing financial covenants; failure to meet specified ratios regarding net income, leverage, or liquidity could impact the facility.
- Reporting Obligations: The Company must provide regular financial information and statements to Wells Fargo.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the current utilization rate of the new $25.0 million Wells Fargo facility.
- Confirm the Company's compliance with the new financial covenants (net income, leverage, quick ratio) in subsequent quarterly reports.
