Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the extension of the maturity date for the $2.5 million credit facility from May 30, 2014, to May 30, 2015. This extension was conditioned on the issuance of new warrants and the payment of a fee to the financial agent. No other financial metrics such as revenue or cash flow are reported in this specific filing.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
The filing does not provide forward-looking guidance, management commentary on future operations, or a discussion of general business risks. The primary contingency noted is the obligation to pay interest monthly and the potential dilution from the exercise of the newly issued warrants, which are exercisable through December 3, 2018. The notes may be prepaid without penalty at any time.
Investor Verification Checklist
