Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not report specific revenue, profit, cash flow, or margin figures. The report focuses on the amendment of debt covenants rather than the disclosure of current financial performance metrics.
Debt and Liquidity Context: The filing details an amendment to the Loan Agreement with Regions Bank (formerly Union Planters Bank, N.A.) involving the Company's subsidiaries (Borrowers).
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The Second Amendment to the Loan Agreement, dated June 16, 2006, modifies the existing agreement (originally dated November 22, 2004, and amended September 19, 2005) in the following ways:
- Debt Ratio Adjustment: The definition of "Ratio of Total Liabilities to Tangible Net Worth" was amended to exclude certain funds allocated to the Company's Deferred Revenue account from the calculation.
- Capital Expenditure Limitation: Funds allocated to the Company's expansion project (previously described in the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006) are now excluded from the calculation of the capital expenditure limitation.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The Company and two of its other subsidiaries remain guarantors of the Borrowers' obligations under the amended Loan Agreement.
Risks and Contingencies: The filing does not explicitly list new risks or contingencies beyond the standard qualification that the description of the amendment is subject to the full text of the agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1.
Unusual Items: None reported in this filing.
