Material Changes
- Loan Agreement Termination: The Company previously entered into a Loan Agreement on May 29, 2008, for a Senior Secured Term loan of US$10,000,000.
- Transaction Status: The Lender elected not to complete the transaction at this time.
- Reason for Withdrawal: The Lender cited current flooding in the Mississippi River area, which prevented the Company from determining precise production and development rates and dates.
- Exclusivity Release: The Company has been released from the exclusivity provision of the Loan Agreement and is now free to seek alternative financing solutions.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management is actively pursuing alternative financing solutions. The primary risk highlighted is the operational uncertainty caused by environmental factors (Mississippi River flooding) affecting production schedules, which directly impacted the ability to secure the proposed US$10 million term loan. The Lender indicated they are continuing to examine lending possibilities, though no commitment was made.
