Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the company's current tangible net worth against the $10.5 million threshold required for the period ending June 30, 2010.
- Review the attached Loan and Security Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific definitions of "eligible accounts receivable" and "eligible inventory."
- Confirm the status of the company's accounts receivable and inventory to assess the actual borrowing base availability.
- Monitor compliance with restrictions on executive changes and shareholder ownership transfers (40% threshold).
- Check subsequent filings for any draws on the credit line or additional equity issuances that would adjust the net worth covenants.
