Working capital changes included the positive effects of a $651 thousand decrease in accounts receivable, $179 thousand of share based compensation, $159 thousand of depreciation expense and $60 thousand of deferred taxes.

On March 5, 2010, the Company executed the $1,250,000 Loan and Security Agreement (the “Term Loan”) with Partners for Growth II. L.P. (“PFG”). The Term Loan bears interest at 11.75% per annum with principal due in 36 equal monthly payments of $34,722 beginning April 1, 2011 and continuing through March 1, 2014 unless the combination of the Company’s cash and availability falls below certain levels, at which point the principal will be due in equal payments over the remaining months left in the period ending 36 months from the date of the Term Loan. Coincident with closing of the Term Loan the Company repaid the outstanding balance of its revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”).
