Material Changes
The company terminated its prior $25.0 million secured revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo, which was scheduled to expire on August 30, 2009. This prior facility was immediately replaced by the new agreement described above, extending the maturity date by approximately two years.
Outlook, Risks, and Covenants
The new agreement imposes negative covenants that limit the company's ability to incur additional indebtedness or enter into certain transactions. The company is obligated to provide regular financial information and statements to the lender. Failure to meet the quick ratio or net loss thresholds could constitute a default under the new facility.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the company's current quick ratio to ensure compliance with the new quarterly covenant.
- Review the trailing four-quarter net loss after taxes to confirm adherence to the specified threshold.
- Confirm the status of the collateral (inventory and receivables) pledged against the $25.0 million facility.
- Monitor for any future filings regarding additional indebtedness, which is restricted under the new negative covenants.
