PCSTEL: PJ's report posted on the Yahoo board indicates that the ratios and benchmarks to be met by Leap relating to EBITDA are only for the Cricket business and do not include the 9.5 M/Qtr of non-cricket G&A. Were the previous covenants also for the Cricket part of the business? Does it imply that Leap is meeting the loan covenants requirements by merely moving G&A expenses and not really trying hard to lower G&A and other costs? >As a result of the extension of coverage ratios, Cricket agreed to new minimum consolidated EBITDA covenants that require amounts of no less than ($27.0) million in 2Q02, breakeven in 3Q02, $9.0 million in 4Q02, and $45.0 million in 1Q03. We should point out, however, that these minimum amounts are for Cricket and its subsidiary operations only. They do not include the projected $38.0 million in operating expenses (according to Leap’s 10-K for the year ended 2001) related to the parent company’s (Leap’s) business operations. Our revised model assumes Cricket will be in accordance with its new minimum EBITDA requirements.>
