Humbly report, Ron, regarding the TAVA working capital position:
During December 1997, the Company sold the land and building it owned at its Albany, Oregon facility and entered into a leaseback arrangement.
As a consequence of executing its acquisition strategy, the Company has assumed the debt obligations of the acquired companies to three banks. During the first two quarters of fiscal 1998, the Company used the proceeds from the aforementioned transactions to reduce current bank debt obligations by $1,038,000.
Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the Company entered into an equipment lease facility with a financial institution. The facility permits the Company to enter into lease arrangements up to an aggregate amount of $600,000. The Company anticipates to partially use this facility to upgrade its computer equipment and administrative network. The Company granted the lessor stock purchase warrants to purchase 5,000 shares of its common stock for $5.50 per share. The warrants expire in February 2003.
Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the Company secured a $4,000,000 term loan with a financial institution. The loan is secured by substantially all assets of the Company. The loan bears interest at the rate of 11.5% per annum. The loan is due in February 2003. No principal payments are required until maturity. The Company granted the lender stock purchase warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of its common stock for $5.50 per share. The warrants expire in February 2003. Under the terms of this facility, additional warrants may be granted if the outstanding principal is not repaid prior to July 1999. The loan arrangement provides for an additional borrowing in the amount of up to $2,000,000 under certain terms and conditions. Proceeds will be used to extinguish senior bank debt, for working capital purposes associated with Y2KOne-TM- start-up costs and for potential acquisitions. At February 16, 1998, no principal has been drawn under this facility.
As a result of these transactions and arrangements, the Company's working capital position improved from $168,000 at June 30, 1997 to $8,131,000 at December 31, 1997.
