Highlight of Business Operations:
Declining revenue resulting from the economic conditions discussed above also contributed to us violating certain covenants that used to be in our revolving credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (Wells Fargo) during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008 and the first fiscal quarter of 2009. Wells Fargo agreed to waive these defaults and eliminate or modify certain financial covenants in exchange for our agreement to reduce the aggregate revolving loan commitment from $10.0 million to $5.0 million, cash collateralize the commitment and increase pricing. We amended our revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo again in November 2009 to extend the maturity date of the credit facility to January 1, 2011 and to exclude from the calculation of tangible net worth, for purposes of the minimum net tangible net worth covenant, the impact of non-cash property lease termination expense of up to $1.0 million in the aggregate recorded during the period from October 1, 2009 through December 31, 2010. The terms of our amended credit agreement are discussed in more detail below under Liquidity and Capital ResourcesOutstanding Indebtedness. While we believe that our cash on hand, cash generated by operating activities and funds available under our amended credit facility with Wells Fargo will be sufficient to finance our operating activities for the next 12 months, if we do experience a cash flow shortage or violate the current terms of our credit agreement, we may have difficulty obtaining additional funds on favorable terms, if at all, in the current credit market.Contract revenue.
