Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2004

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except shares and per share data)

 

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant Company and Subsidiaries’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

In the statement of cash flows for the period ended June 30, 2003, $255 of the change in other assets previously included in net cash provided by operating activities has been reclassified to payments of loan amendment fees in the cash flows from financing activities to conform to the current period presentation.

 

NOTE B - CREDIT FACILITIES

 

In May 2004, the Company entered into a new secured revolving credit facility of $35,000 with two financial institutions (the “Senior Revolving Facility”). The Senior Revolving Facility is for a three-year term and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Senior Revolving Facility carries an interest rate at the discretion of the Company of either the financial institution’s designated base rate (4.25% at June 30, 2004) plus 100 basis points or LIBOR (3-month LIBOR was 1.63% at June 30, 2004) plus 300 basis points. As of June 30, 2004, the Company had approximately $8,687 of additional credit available under the Senior Revolving Facility.

 

In May 2004, the Company also issued $10,000 of secured subordinated notes (the “Secured Subordinated Notes”) and $12,000 of unsecured subordinated notes (the “Unsecured Subordinated Notes”) to a financial institution. The Secured Subordinated Notes carry an interest rate of 10% and will mature in November 2007. The Secured Subordinated Notes require principal payments of $500 per quarter commencing July 1, 2004, with an unamortized balance of $3,000 due at the end of the term. The Unsecured Subordinated Notes expire in May 2009 and carry a fixed interest rate of 15.5%; 13% is payable quarterly in cash, and 2.5%, at the discretion of the Company, may be paid in cash or deferred and included in the outstanding principal balance until maturity. In exchange for consideration received in connection with this debt, the Company extended the term of existing warrants held by the financial institution from


May 2007 to the later of May 2009 or the third anniversary of the repayment date. These warrants were issued in 1999 to the financial institution and are for the purchase of 437,029 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.422 per share. The extension of these warrants is valued at $616 and will be accreted through interest expense over the life of the Unsecured Subordinated Notes.

 

The Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants under its credit facilities. For the measuring period ended June 30, 2004, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants.

 

All debt outstanding as of May 4, 2004 was repaid with proceeds from the above borrowings. In conjunction with its new credit facilities, the Company incurred additional costs of approximately $1,430 which are included in other long term assets in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and amortized over the remaining terms of the facilities, commencing in the second quarter of 2004. Due to the refinancing described herein, the Company also wrote off the unamortized loan fees of approximately $2,506 as interest expense, which included payments of $420 made in 2004, related to the retired debt in the second quarter of 2004.
