As of the closing today, the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit was about $9,000,000, a reduction of about $4,200,000 from the revolving loan balance as of December 31, 2006. The outstanding balance on the term loan facility was about $19,200,000 a reduction of about $1,600,000 from the term loan balance as of December 31, 2006. The initial term loan will be amortized with quarterly principal payments of $165,000 until it reaches $17,500,000 at which point the Company has no further obligation to make quarterly principal payments on the term loan as was the case under its old credit facility. The Company is obligated to make mandatory repayments on the term and revolving loans with the net proceeds of any asset sales.
