- Financial Statements: The filing does not provide specific revenue, profit, cash flow, or margin data for the period.
Material Changes
The company entered into the Sixth Amendment to its Loan and Security Agreement dated August 29, 2003. The primary material change is the replacement of a net profit covenant with a tangible net worth covenant.
- Previous Covenant: Required the maintenance of a cumulative net profit at the end of each quarter for 2007.
- New Covenant: Requires the maintenance of a Tangible Net Worth of at least $28,000,000 for each of the last three quarters of 2007.
- Covenant Adjustments: The required Tangible Net Worth increases by 50% of quarterly profits and 75% of amounts received from equity issuances or Subordinated Debt issuances after April 1, 2007.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
The filing contains no specific management commentary on future outlook, risks, or contingencies beyond the terms of the amended loan agreement. The amendment suggests a strategic shift in financial covenants to focus on balance sheet strength (Tangible Net Worth) rather than short-term profitability metrics.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the company's current Tangible Net Worth to ensure compliance with the new $28,000,000 minimum threshold.
- Confirm the status of any equity or subordinated debt issuances post-April 1, 2007, as these affect the covenant calculation.
- Review the full text of Exhibit 10.1 (Sixth Amendment) for detailed definitions of "Tangible Net Worth" and "Subordinated Debt."
- Note that the credit facility expires on January 1, 2008, requiring renewal or repayment planning.
