In this regard, PAI will assume the company's obligations to its secured creditors. No recovery to general unsecured creditors or shareholders is anticipated at this time. In addition, the company announced the layoff of approximately 80 of its 173 employees. The remaining employees will be transitioned to the purchaser of the assets. Gus Constantin, chairman, president and chief executive officer stated, "I want to assure our customers that we will be working with them to try to facilitate a smooth transition." The announcement came after a lengthy and exhaustive effort to both raise capital, dating back to early spring, or more recently, to sell the company outright to a non affiliated entity. The company contacted numerous financial and strategic prospects. The company worked to maximize business efficiencies and eliminate as many operating expenses as was prudent to conserve cash and to provide more time to examine all options. In the end, however, the result of these efforts was insufficient as no party was prepared to provide capital or acquire the company. ROTF! ROTF!
